Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.011;3.2188)

But on this case the most accurate option seems to be :  a. (0.00, 3.69)

Explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:  

df=n-1=12-1=11  

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,11)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.201  

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):  

1.6-2.201\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{12}}=0.011  

1.6+2.201\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{12}}=3.188  

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (0.011;3.2188)

But on this case the most accurate option seems to be :  a. (0.00, 3.69)

Wanda takes $3,000 from her savings account that pays 5 percent interest per year and uses the funds to purchase a computer for
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

$1,150

Explanation:

Implicit rental rate refers to the cost that a company incurred by spending money as opposed to what that money could earn if it were invested in something else. Therefore since in a year the computer was worth $1000 less and Wanda also lost out on the 5% that the savings account would have generated which would be $150. Then her total cost is that of $1,150

Suppose marginal cost is constant and equal to 50 and marginal revenue equals 100 - 10Q. A profit-maximizing monopolist will set
kotykmax [81]

Answer: 5

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the marginal cost is constant and equal to 50 and marginal revenue equals 100 - 10Q.

For a profit-maximizing monopolist, we should note that the marginal revenue will be equated to the marginal cost. Therefore:

100 - 10Q = 50

100 - 50 = 10Q

50 = 10Q

Q = 50/10

Q = 5

Therefore, a profit-maximizing monopolist will set quantity equal to 5.

You are valuing a company that is projected to generate a free cash flow of $10 million next year, growing at a stable 3.0% rate
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$2.67 per share

Explanation:

To start with,we calculate the present worth of the company using the below formula:

present worth of the company=free cash flow*(1+g)/r-g

g is the growth rate of the free cash flow which is 3.0%

r is the cost of capital of 10%

present worth=$10 million*(1+3%)/10%-3%

                     =10.3/7%

                     =$ 147.14  million

However ,the value of total equity is computed thus:

equity=present worth+cash-debt

cash is $8.5 million

debt is $22 million

equity=$ 147.14  +$8.5-$22

equity=$133.64 million

value of each share=equity value /number of shares

number of shares is 50 million

value of each=$133.64 million/50 million=$2.67 per share
