Below are the <span> two reasons why the data might not support the hypothesis:
</span><span>
1) The hypothesis was wrong
2) The data is wrong
A hypothesis is a proposed thought that may clarify a perception or marvels. It is confirmed by testing it. In the event that the information bolsters the theory, at that point, we view the speculation as checked and genuine. Assuming, be that as it may, the information does not bolster the speculation or discredits it, at that point the theory is in a bad position, and we need to concoct an alternate speculation to clarify the perceptions.

Answer:
A) Shortage, B) Fall in Price
Explanation:
A] Market is at equilibrium where - downward sloping Market Demand (inversely related to price), & upward sloping Market Supply (directly related to price) - are equal & these curves intersect each other.
Above condition gives us equilibrium price & quantity.
If market price < equilibrium price, as given case 15 < 20. Then, supply being directly related to price is lesser, demand being inversely related to price is higher. So, there is a situation of excess demand, ie <u>shortage </u>(graphically denoted by distance between demand & supply curve at actual price below equilibrium price)
B] Dealers of hybrid vehicles increase imply increase in supply of these vehicles, rightwards shift in the supply curve. This creates excess supply ie surplus of them. It implies that competition among sellers lead to <u>fall in price </u>of these hybrid vehicles.
Answer:
The performance problem to minor burns will be mainly psychological.
Explanation:
The staff involved will most likely exhibit a reduction in speed at which he or she executed the task which led to the burn.
If the personnel is in a chain of production where their own activity feeds others, it may translate to the increase in the time taken to achieve results.
One solution to this is to critically examine the production process and eliminate the cause of the accident if any.
If the cause of the incident was as a result of carelessness on the part of the staff, then he or she might have to be rescheduled to another department or unit where their current mindset will not stall the overall performance of the team/production line.
Cheers!
Answer: Decrease the company's use of debt capital because it will decrease the equity multiplier (TRUE)
Reduce the company's operating expenses, its cost of goods sold, and/or the interest rate on its borrowed funds because this will increase the company's net profit margin (TRUE)
Decrease the amount of debt financing used by the company which will decrease the total asset turnover ratio (FALSE)
Use more debt financing in its capital structure and increase the equity multiplier (TRUE)
Explanation:
EQUITY MULTIPLIER is given as (Total Asset)/(Total shareholders equity). It measures how much of a company's asset is financed by shareholders. A company finances its assets through the combination of shareholder equity and DEBT (liability). Thus, the greater the percentage of debt used in financing asset, the lower the proportion of equity used. In order words, if debt decreases, asset decreases and therefore equity multiplier decreases.
NET PROFIT MARGIN is given as (Net Profit)/(Sales Revenue). Net profit increases when operating expenses, cost of goods sold, and interest rate deceases. This will lead to an increase in net profit margin.
TOTAL ASSET TURNOVER RATIO is given as (Net sales)/(Total Asset). It measure the effectiveness of an organisation to produce and make sales using its assets. If debt financing is decreased, it lead to a decrease in total asset and then increase (not decrease) in asset turnover ratio (assume net sales does not change)
We had defined equity multiplier above. If we use more debt financing, the proportion of equity in asset reduces, leading to an increase in equity multiplier.
Answer:
The computations are shown below:
Explanation:
Return On Assets = Net income ÷ Average Total Assets × 100
where,
Average of Assets = (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets) ÷ 2
= ($75,183 + $116,371) ÷ 2
= $191,554 ÷ 2
= $95,777
So, the return on investment is
=$25,922 ÷ $95,777 × 100
= 27.06%
Profit Margin = Net income ÷ Sales × 100
= $25,922 ÷ $108,249 × 100
= 23.95%
Assets Turnover = Sales ÷ Average of Total Assets
= $108,249 ÷$95,777
= 1.13
