Answer:
3 1/3 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the time required for the inflows from a project to be equal to the initial outflow for the project. It is a key consideration in capital budgeting. It is usually assumed that the outlay or initial outflow is made in year 0 and the first inflow comes in after a year.
Year Cash outflow Cash inflow Balance
0 ($50,000) - ($50,000)
1 - $15,000 ($35,000)
2 - $15,000 ($20,000)
3 - $15,000 ($5,000)
4 - $15,000 $10,000
5 - $15,000 $25,000
Hence the payback period
= 3 years and 5000/15000 * 12 months
= 3 years 4 months
= 3 1/3 years

Answer:
2080 dollars
Explanation:
Given that Cardinal Industries purchased a generator that cost $11,000
cost of generator = 11000
Estimated life = 5 years
Residual value =1000
Hours =5000
Depreciation per unit hour = (Cost - residual value)/total lifetime hours
=
For first year the generator was used for 1,040 hours.
Hence depreciation to be charged in I year
= 
answer is 2080 dollars.
Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
Empirical rule is the rule in statistics, which defined as that for the normal distribution, that is as:
68% of the data fall under one standard deviation of mean.
Data which is 95% lie under the two standard deviations of the mean.
Data (All) which is 99.7% lie under the three standard deviations of the mean.
So, in this case, the sample mean fall under second category, which is as:
= Sample mean ± 2 (Standard deviation)
= $150 ± 2($20)
= $150 ± $40
= $150 + $40 and $150 - $40
= $190 and $110
Answer:
We fail to reject the Null hypotheses that the average amount of money a typical college student spends per day is less than $70.
Explanation:
A professor of statistics claimed that the average amount of money a typical college student spends per day during social distancing at home is over $70.
Based upon previous research, the population standard deviation is estimated to be $17.32.
The professor surveys 35 students and finds that the mean spending is $67.57.
Is there evidence that the average amount spent by students is less than $70?
For the given problem the Null hypotheses is that the average amount of money a typical college student spends per day is less than $70.

For the given problem the Alternate hypotheses is that the average amount of money a typical college student spends per day is over $70.

The test statistic is given by

Where X_bar is the sample mean spending that is $67.57, μ is the average population spending that is $70, σ is the standard deviation that is 17.32 and n is the sample size that is 35.

The p-value corresponding to the z-score of -0.83 at significance level 0.10 is found to be
p-value = 0.2036
Since 0.2036 > 0.10
We fail to reject the Null hypotheses that the average amount of money a typical college student spends per day is less than $70.
