Answer:
(a). For every additional square foot of area of a house, the price is predicted to increase by $61
(b) The asking price is $145410 and the residual is a negative $4100
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a) From regression equation Slope = 0.061
So slope = (0.061 × 1,000) ÷ 1 sq. ft.
= $61 per sq. ft.
For every additional square foot area price is increased by $61
b) If size of the house is = 1600 square foot then
Price = 47.81 + 1600*0.061
=$145,410
The asked price is $4,100 less than estimated price and residual is not positive
Hence,
Asking price = $145,410
Residual price = a negative $4,100
Answer:
7.5 Years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period of the given machine is shown below:
<u>Year Initial outflow Cash flow Cumulative cash flow</u>
(52000)
1 10,000 10,000
2 10,000 20,000
3 10,000 30,000
4 8,000 38,000
5 8,000 46,000
6 2,000 48,000
7 2,000 50,000
8 4,000 54000
9 4,000 58000
10 4,000 62000
Now the Payback period is
= Completed years+ required cash ÷ annual cash inflow
= 7 years + 2000 ÷ 4000
= 7.5 Years
Answer:
Present value of the security = $1,888.89
Explanation:
The annual dividend of $170 represents a perpetual income stream. The present value of a perpetuity is calculated as follows:
where r =interest rate per annum that would be compounded for each year
Therefore, present value of the security = 
= $1,888.89
Answer:
The result of Marlene hiring an attorney to obtain her return would only be successful if she did not voluntarily give up her right to ownership of the plates and can provide an evidence to that effect

Answer:
The criticism is true to a certain degree, and unjustified to another degree.
Explanation:
It is true in the sense that the U.S. has indeed lost a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, simply because Mexico has far lower labor costs, and U.S. manufacturers have decided to take advantage of that by taking their plants to Mexican states.
It is also true that Mexico has been running a trade surplus with the United States in recent years, mainly because of the large manufacturing sector that Mexico has been developing.
On the other hand, the criticism is unjustified because neither a trade deficit nor the moving of manufacturing to Mexico mean that the United States as a whole is in worst condition than before NAFTA. In fact, most economists agree that free trade is a good thing for the economy as a whole, and that most people benefit from the lower costs and specialization that trade brings about.
The problem lies then, in the people who lose their jobs: formerly unionized manufacturing workers from the Rust Belt, for example. These people need to be helped with government assitance, both in terms of welfare, and training, so that they can find new jobs and make ends meet in the meanwhile.
