Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer is: Following the expected value criterion the investor should choose indistinctively between the conservative or neutral alternatives.

Explanation:

The formula we use to calculate the expected return value of the different alternatives is:

            ERV = ∑ (expected return x probability of occurrence)

The conservative alternative has an expected return value of of 4.5%

ERV Conservative = (6% x 25%) + (4% x 75%) = 4.5%

The neutral alternative also has an expected return value of of 4.5%

ERV Neutral = (12% x 25%) + (4% x 75%) = 4.5%

The aggressive alternative has an expected return value of of -1%

ERV Aggressive = (20% x 25%) + (-8% x 75%) = -1%

larisa [96]

Answer:

The CPA Practice Advisor

The probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean is:

= 56%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Population mean (preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns) = $273

Population standard deviation of preparation fees = $100

Mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns = $257 (which is within $16 of the population mean)

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = standard score

x = observed value

μ = mean of the sample

σ = standard deviation of the sample

Z = ($273 - $257)/$100

= 0.16

Using the z-table

P = 0.5636
