Now, if takes 0.765 USD to be equal 1 AUD. when the dollar increases, it will take fewer dollars to equal 1 AUD. for instance, it takes 0.5 dollars per 1 AUD. The conversion will change to:5,000 AUD * (0.5 USD/AUD)

5,000 * 0.5

= $2,500

so, her AUD will be worth more now.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Her present $5,000 AUD is worth $3,825 USD.

Then

5,000 AUD * (0.765 USD/AUD)

5,000 * 0.765

= $3,825

So,

If the USD dollar increases against the AUD, then, the ratio will reduce.

For example, it takes 0.765 USD to be equal 1 AUD. when the dollar increases, it will take fewer dollars to equal 1 AUD. for instance, it takes 0.5 dollars per 1 AUD. The conversion will change to:

5,000 AUD * (0.5 USD/AUD)

5,000 * 0.5

= $2,500

Therefore, her AUD will be worth more now.

A waiter believes the distribution of his tips has a model that is slightly skewed to the left, with a mean of $8.90 and a sta

postnew [5]

Answer:

A. 0.3204 B. $14.669

Explanation:

Mean = 8.9 SD = 4.5

Required probability = P (X >/= 550/50)

P(X>/=11) = 1 - P[(X - mean/SD) < (11 - mean)/SD]

= 1 - P(Z < (11-8.9)/4.5)

P(X>/=11) = 1 - P(Z < 0.4666667)

Using Excel NORMDIST(0.4666667,0,1,1)

P(X>/=11) = 1 - 0.6796 = 0.3204

The probability that she will earn at least $550 = 0.3204

b. P ( X > x ) = 0.10

1 − P ( X − mean)/SD ≤ (x − mean) /SD = 0.10

P ( Z ≤ z ) = 0.90

Where,

z = (x − mean )/SD

Excel function for the value of z:

=NORMSINV(0.9)

=1.282

Hence (x - mean)/SD = 1.282

= (x - 8.9)/4.5 = 1.282

x = (1.282*4.5) + 8.9

x = 14.669

He earns $14.669 on the best 10% of such weekends.

Block Island TV currently sells large televisions for $ 380. It has costs of $ 310. A competitor is bringing a new large televis

Fofino [41]

Answer:

$281.67

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current selling price of large TV = $380

Cost of Large TV = $310

Selling price of new TV = $340

Increase in sales = 20% = 0.20

Current sales = $150,000

Now,

Expected sales after reducing the price = Current sales + Increase in sales

= 150,000 + ( 0.20 × 150,000 )

= 150,000 + 30,000

= 180,000

Target Operating income = ( $380 - $310 ) × current sales

= $70 × 150,000

= $10,500,000

New operating cost per unit

= Target Operating income ÷ Expected sales after reducing the price

= $10,500,000 ÷ 180,000

New operating cost per unit = $58.33

Target Cost

= Price after reduction - New operating cost per unit

= $340 - $58.33

= $281.67

Neporo4naja [7]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question

According to the CAPM, what is the market risk premium given an expected return on a security of 13.6%, a stock beta of 1.2, and a risk-free interest rate of 4%?

Answer:

Explanation:

The expected return on security is 13.6%

The stock beta is 1.2

The risk free interest rate is 1.4

Therefore, using the CAMP , the market risk premium can be calculated as follows

13.6%= 4% + 1.2×MRP

13.6%-4%= 1.2MRP

9.6%=1.2MRP

MRP= 9.6/1.2

MRP= 8%

Hence the market risk premium is 8%
