Answer:
option d) approximately 84%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Mean, m = $92
Standard deviation, s = $13
Now,
we have to calculate percentage of homes will have a monthly utility bill of more than $79 i.e P(X > 79)
also,
P( X > 79) = 1 - P( X < 79)
Z-score for (X = 79 ) = 
Z = 
or
Z = -1
From the standard Z value vs P table, we have
P( Z < -1 ) = 0.1587
Thus,
P( X < 79) = P( Z < -1 ) = 0.1587
therefore,
P(X > 79) = 1 - 0.1587
or
P(X > 79) = 0.8413
or
= 0.8413 × 100%
= 84.13%
Hence,
option d) approximately 84%
Answer:
b. first-in, first-out.
Explanation:
Generally, there are three methods for estimating the inventory shown below:
1. First-in-first, the company is selling the old products in this way than the new ones, which means first selling the old products and then selling the new ones
2. Weighted average method: Weighted cost is measured by considering the total revenue and total purchase
3. Last-in-first-out: Contrary to the first-in-first-out process, the first sale of new goods, then selling of old goods.
4. Base stock: The process by which the orders of the consumer are fulfilled by holding the less inventory
In the FIFO method, the highest ended inventory results in the lower cost of goods sold at the highest net profits.
Answer:
a) diluted earnings per share = 0
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.
Whereas DEPS is a representation of not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.
So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.
If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:
The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;
DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.
Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.
Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).
Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;
DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960
DEPS =$424400÷120960
DEPS = $3.5
Interpretation is correct answer
