Rolland Poust is a sophomore in the College of Business at Scandia Tech. Last semester he took courses in statistics and account

ing, 3 hours each, and earned an A in both.He earned a B in a five-hour history course and a B in a two-hour history of jazz course. In addition, he took a one-hour course dealing with the rules of basketball so he could get his license to officiate high school basketball games. He got an A in this course. What was his GPA for the semester? Assume that he receives 4 points for an A, 3 for a B, and so on. What measure of location did you just calculate?

Answer:

3.5

Explanation:

Grade point average (GPA) is the summation of all the numbered grades obtained divided by the number of credits taken or total obtainable points multiply by the maximum point receivable for a course. This can be calculated as follows:

1. Calculation of Total Obtainable Points

Statistics = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12

Accounting = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12

History = A × hrs = 4 × 5 = 20

History of jazz = A × hrs = 4 × 2 = 8

Rules of basketball = A × hrs = 4 × 1 = 4

Total obtained points = 12 + 12 + 20 + 8 + 4 = 56

2. Calculation of Total Points Obtained

Statistics = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12

Accounting = A × hrs = 4 × 3 = 12

History = B × hrs = 3 × 5 = 15

History of jazz = B × hrs = 3 × 2 = 6

Rules of basketball = A × hrs = 4 × 1 = 4

Total Points Obtained = 12 + 12 + 15 + 6 + 4 = 49

3. Calculation of GPA

GPA = (Total Obtained Points ÷ Total Obtainable Points) × the points that A receives (i.e. maximum GPA)

= (49 ÷ 56) × 4

= 0.875 × 4  

= 3.50  

Therefore, Rolland Poust's GPA is 3.5 out of 4.

The measure of location that has just been calculated is mean. The mean is obtained by adding all the values and then divide it by the number of values.  

Grade point average (GPA) is similar to mean because GPA is the summation of all the numbered grades obtained divided by the number of credits taken.

You borrow $8000 to buy a car, at an annual interest rate of 6%. Assume interest is compounded continuously. You make monthly pa
hram777 [196]

Answer:

We should pay $243.3 each month to pay of the loan.

Explanation

The present value of the loan is 8,000, the number of compounding periods are (3*12) =36 because payment is going to be made monthly for 3 years, the future value of the loan is 0 as there will be no lump sum payment at the end of the loan and equal payments each month, the monthly interest rate is 6%/12= 0.5%. We input these 4 values to find the monthly payment.

PV= 8,000

FV=0

N=36

I=0.5

Compute PMT= 243.3

Suppose the own price elasticity of demand for good X is -3, its income elasticity is -2, its advertising elasticity is 4, and t
Andrew [12]

Answer:

a. 21 percent

b. -20 percent

c. -8 percent

d. -8 percent

Explanation:

Own price elasticity = -3

Income elasticity = -2

Advertising elasticity= 4

Cross price elasticity = -2

Formula for elasticity is given by,

Elasticity = \frac{Percentage change in Quantity}{Percentage change in factor}

a. When price of good X decreases by 7 percent.

Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in own price}

-3 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{-7}

Percent change in quantity = (-3) * (-7)  = 21

Thus, as price decreases by 7% quantity rises by 21%.

b. The price of good Y increases by 10 percent.

Corss- price elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in Price of good Y} \\  -2     = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{10} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (10) \\                                              = -20

Thus, as price of good Y increases by 10 percent, demand for good X falls by 20 percent.

c. Advertising decreases by 2 percent.

Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in advertising} \\4    = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{-2} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\                                               = -8

Thus, a 2 percent decline in advertising will lead to a 8 percent fall in quantity of good X.

d. Income increases by 4 percent.

Income elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{Percent change in income}\\-2 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{4} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\                                               = -8\\

Thus, when income increases by 4 percent, quantity decreases by 8 percent.
