For each of the following, state whether you expect the distribution to be symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed. Also specify

whether the mean or median would best represent a typical observation in the data, and whether the variability of observations would be best represented using the standard deviation or IQR. Explain your reasoning. Housing prices in a country where 25% of the houses cost below $350,000, 50% of the houses cost below $450,000, 75% of the houses cost below $1,000,000 and there are a meaningful number of houses that cost more than $6,000,000.

Answer:

I have solved part a) because question contains only part a) however it has 3 more parts as well but that are not mentioned in the question. Part a) is explained below.

Explanation:

a) The distribution should be right skewed as most of the numbers lies at that side while using the median to correctly represent an observation in the distribution.

To represent the variability of the observations, interquartile range could be used. Since, there is a good number of expensive houses and this would increase the mean and standard deviation. So, it is better to use interquartile range to represent it, i.e. upper quartile for expensive houses, and lower quartile for less expensive houses and middle quartile for mid-range priced houses.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:a.Total manufacturing costs for Job 313 =$52,500

Unit Product Cost for Job 313=$30

Explanation:

Total manufacturing costs=Direct materials+Direct labor costs+Overhead costs

But Overhead cost =115% of direct labor cost

= 115% x $10,600

=$12,190

Total manufacturing costs =$29,710 + $10,600+$12,190

=$52,500

Unit Product Cost=Total Manufacturing costs/ Total Number of Units Produced =$52,500 /1,750 units

=$30

John Jones owns and manages a café in Collegetown whose annual revenue is $5,000. Annual expenses are as follows:
OleMash [197]

Answer:

a.) $750

b.) Yes, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year.

Yes, he should stay in the café business.

c.) No, the café is making an economic loss of $75 per year

No, he should not stay in the café business.

d.)$3,250

e.) $250

Explanation:

a) John's accounting profit is his revenue minus his explicit costs:$5,000 - $4,250 = $750

b) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the café is $725 per year ($1,000 − $275 = $725). Thus, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $725 = $25). Since the café is earning an economic profit, John should stay in the café business.

c) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the cafe is $825 per year ($1,100 − $275 = $825). Thus, the cafe is earning an economic loss of $75 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $825 = −$75). Since the café is earning an economic loss, John should not stay in the café business.

d) John's accounting profit equals his revenue minus his explicit costs. If he doesn't need a loan, then his explicit costs equal $3,250. So, his accounting profit equals $1,750 (= $5,000 − $3,250).

e) To earn a normal profit, the café would have to cover all its implicit and explicit costs. The opportunity cost of John's time is $1,000 per year while the café's accounting profit is only $750 per year. Thus, the café would have to earn additional revenues of $250 per year in order for John to make a normal profit.

During the year, Trombley Incorporated has the following inventory transactions.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a. Ending inventory = $162, Cost of Sales = $593, Gross Profit = $478

b. Ending inventory = $227, Cost of Sales = $528, Gross Profit = $543

c. Ending inventory = $492.30, Cost of Sales = $557.94 , Gross Profit = $513.06

d. FIFO

Explanation:

FIFO

Ending inventory = 18 units × $9   = $162

                                Total               = $162

Cost of Sales = 11 units × $13 = $143

                         16 units × $12= $192

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                           3 units × $9 = $27

                         Total              = $593

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $593

                   = $1,071 - $593

                   = $478

LIFO

Ending inventory = 11 units × $13    = $143

                                 7 units × $12   =  $84

                                 Total               = $227

Cost of Sales = 9 units × $12 = $108

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                         21 units × $9 = $189

                         Total              = $528

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $528

                   = $1,071 - $528

                   = $543

Weighted-average cost

First determine the average cost.

Average cost = Total Cost / Total units

                      = $ 755 / 69

                      = $10.94

Ending inventory = Units Remaining × Average Price

                             = 45 units × $10.94

                             = $492.30

Cost of Sales = Units Sold × Average Cost

                      = 51 units × $10.94

                      = $557.94

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $557.94

                   = $1,071.00 - $557.94

                   = $513.06

If the Fed increases the discount rate, which of the following accurately describes the sequence of events that will follow in t
AnnZ [28]

Answer: A. Reserves ↓: Excess reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓

Explanation:

The discount rate is the rate at which the Fed lends money to banks and other depository type institutions. Normally banks have a reserve requirement that the Fed requires of them which states how much they are to leave with the Fed as a reserve. Banks tend to fall short of this reserve sometimes and so can borrow from the Fed to balance it off.

If the Fed increase the rate at which these banks can borrow, they will not want to do so thus leaving their Reserves at the Fed lower than it should be. They will then use their excess reserves which is money kept in reserve more than the Fed requires, to balance off their reserve at the Fed.

As a result of this reduction in their Excess reserve, they will have less money to give out as loans. With less loans being made, people will not have as much money to deposit after taking the loans. Money supply will then fall as a whole.
