Skolits Corp. issued 10-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 8.7 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bon

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

7.36%

Explanation:

Nper = (10-2)*2 = 16

Pmt = 1000*8.7%/2 = 43.5

Pv = -108%*1000 = -1080

Fv = 1000

YTM = Rate(Nper, pmt, -Pv, Fv)*2

YTM = Rate(16, 43.5, -1080, 1000)*2

YTM = 0.036795696 * 2

YTM = 0.073591392

YTM = 7.3591392%

YTM = 7.36%

Suppose that an economy's labor productivity fell by 3 percent and its total worker-hours remained constant between year 1 and y

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: 1. real GDP declined.

Explanation:

If labor productivity fell yet the workforce did not increase, that means that for Years 1 and 2, workers were producing less than they were producing before because the same number of people were producing.

This means that the amount of goods produced in the country would reduce and therefore GDP would reduce as well as GDP is the amount of goods and services produced in a country. If labor productivity had fallen yet the work-hours had increased, the increase in worker hours would have made up for the loss of labor productivity.

The board of directors declared cash dividends totaling $585,000 during the current year. The comparative balance sheet indicate

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$606,375

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of cash payments to stockholders is shown below:

= Beginning dividend payable + cash dividend declared - ending dividend payable

= $167,625 + $585,000 - $146,250

= $606,375

We simply added the dividend declared amount and deducted the ending dividend payable to the beginning dividend payable so that the accurate amount can come.

Suppose that the Dallas School District wants to achieve Six Sigma quality levels of performance in delivering students to schoo

Kay [80]

Answer:

a) 1.66 minutes

b) 3.4 out of million deliveries

Explanation:

So, it is a six sigma quality question, we first need to understand little bit about six sigma and how it is to achieve six sigma level.

Six Sigma:

It is the process or technique used by many organizations through out the world to achieve maximum quality in a product or in a service they are providing. It helps to indicate root causes of the process or you can say waste steps which first need to be identified then rectified to bring that top-notch quality in the system. So in this case, in order to calculate part a) we will calculate six sigma control limits.

a) So, for six sigma control limits, the maximum allowable standard deviation is 12 or you can say +6 + (-6) = ±6 = 12. It means all deviations must lie in all 12 standard deviations.

Please refer to the table shown in the attachment. This bell curve represent six sigma concept. In this 3 sigma quality level means all deviations must lie in 6 standard deviations.

So, here we have been given that mean = 20, so with mean we can calculate standard deviation in six sigma control limits.

Maximum Allowable Standard Deviation for 6 sigma = Mean/12

= 20/12

= 1.66

So, 1.66 is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve 6 sigma quality level.

b) In this part, we are asked that, out of million deliveries about how many times bus deliver students too early or too late at this 6 sigma quality level.

For this answer, please refer to attachment again. and notice at the left bottom with the arrow of 6 sigma, we have a number 3.4 ppm means 3.4 part per million.

So, it 3.4 times in a million deliveries bus will deliver students either too early or too late.

In her research paper, Kirstein copied a few paragraphs from a renowned author's work verbatim without placing them within quota

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Word-for-word.

Explanation:

Word for word plagiarism is seen to be an unethical form of writing where the said student or researcher is seen to copy a fellow researchers works verbatim and particularly word for word with also quotation marks too. In as much as this is a bad form for writers, people are always seen to commit themselves in still doing it. This can cause a lawsuit in some places depending on the researcher whose work is been stolen/copied.

In all, it is been tagged an act of intellectual dishonesty which comes with uneasy consequences when it is done to a wrong person; a plagiarized assignment may lead to a failing grade, a suspension, or an expulsion.
