Answer:
1. quickly describe large amounts of data
2. the stock is worth 15% more at the end of the year than at the beginning
3. 9.2%
Explanation:
Descriptive statistics helps to quickly describe large amounts of data because it simply involves using certain measurement tools to describe the data seen such that patterns emerge that will help in analyzing the data. Examples include, frequency tables and measures of variation like range and standard deviation.
When a stock has a 15% return, it means that the owner is getting 15% more than the amount that the stock cost them therefore showing that the stock is worth 15% more at the end of the year than at the beginning.
The return on the stock is;
= (4.75 - 4.35) / 4.35
= 9.2%
Answer:
The benchmarking function of budgeting system involves the evaluation of performance of managers.
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
The integration of inputs from different business inputs and function is done at the planning stage of budgeting. It does not involve benchmarking.
Budgeting requires requires close cooperation between accountants and operational personnel. This is referred to as active participation in budgeting. It helps to overcome behavioural challenges of budgeting.
Budget figures are used to evaluate the performance of managers. This is a benchmarking function of budgeting because it involves the comparison of performance of managers with established criteria so as to determine their level of success.
The budget outlines a specific course of action for the coming year. This indicates that a budget is a financial plan that outlines future courses of action. This does not require benchmarking.
Answer:
b). 72.458 %
a). 24, 213
Explanation:
1). The second option i.e. 72.458% correctly measures the variance percentage brought in the dependent variable(regressed the quantity demanded) by manipulating the independent variable(price elasticity). The first option is wrong as it shows R multiple which is rather the coefficient. The third and the last options are incorrect as they display the intercept employed to determine the quantity and the key error of calculating the standard deviation.
2). The predicted quantity demanded would be 24,213 if the price is fixed at $7.00.
It can be calculated using the formula;
Quantity demanded = Intercept + (Adjusted R squared * Price coefficient)
∵ Quantity Demanded = 56,400.50 + (7 X -4,598.2)
= 24,213

Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Implicit costs per week = $200,000
Average explicit cost per banana = $0.25 per banana
Per week bananas sold = 1 million
Explicit cost = Average explicit cost per banana × No. of banana sold
= $0.25 × 1,000,000
= $250,000
Total revenue = No. of banana sold × Selling price of each banana
= 1,000,000 × $0.50
= $500,000
Accounting profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost
= $500,000 - $250,000
= $250,000
Economic profit:
= Total revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit costs
= $500,000 - $250,000 - $200,000
= $50,000
