Answer:

E) none of the above

12.70% and 2.49% standard deviation

Explanation:

We multiply probability by the outcome to get the weighted amount, we add them and get the expected return.

probability outcome weighted

0.25          0.10   0.0250

0.45          0.12   0.0540

0.30          0.16   0.0480

expected return  0.1270

Now that we got the expected return at 12.7%

We now subtract the possible outcome with the expected return and square them:

(0.127-0.1)^2

(0.127-0.12)^2

(0.127-0.16)^2

Then we add them and divide by the sample which is 3

0.000622  

²√ 0.000622   = 0.024944383

<u><em>Final step,</em></u> will be the square root which gives the standard deviation

of 2.49% = 0.024947

If costs are 85% of sales (and profit is 15%), what is the amount of extra sales needed to equal $1,200 in profit from purchasin
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Given that

Profit = $1,200

Cost = 85% of sales

Profit = 15%

We know that

Sales = Cost + Profit

         = 85% + 15%

         = 100%

So sales percentage is 100%

Now we use the unitary method to find out the extra sales which would be

= Profit × sales percentage ÷ profit percentage

= $1,200 × 100% ÷ 15%

= $8,000

Which of the following is not a reason for redesigning a product or service? Multiple Choice to attract and increase customer de
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

to increase the level of employee satisfaction

Explanation:

Redesigning a product or service does not necessarily have to do with improving employee satisfaction, but it would be great if it does it as a side effect.

Redesigning a product or service costs money, and usually a lot of money, so c company must perform a cost benefit analysis before doing so. The main reason why a company would carry out a redesign is simply to increase consumer demand and total sales. This is generally achieved by increasing the quality of the product or service, and therefore consumer satisfaction. It can also do it to lower production costs, which also increases profits.
