Answer:

a) 60 years

b) 97.72th percentile

c) 52.65 years

Explanation:

Given that:

mean (μ) = 60 years and standard deviation (σ) = 2.5. The z score is given by the equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) the median correspond to 50th percentile.

The 50th percentile from the z table corresponds to a z score of 0. Using the z score equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\0=\frac{x-60}{2.5}\\ x-60 = 0\\x=60

The median retirement age is 60 years

b) When age is 65 years.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{65-60}{2.5} =2

From the normal distribution table: P(x < 65) = P(z <  2) = 0.9772 = 97.72th percentile

c) The 16th percentile from the z table corresponds to a z score of -2.94. Using the z score equation:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\-2.94=\frac{x-60}{2.5}\\ x-60 = -7.35\\x=60-7.35=52.65

An age of 52.65 corresponds to 16th percentile

Cash $38,600 Short-term investments 9,000 Accounts receivable 40,000 Inventory 240,000 Prepaid expenses 17,400 Accounts payable
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Current ratio and Acid-test ratio (3.15 and 0.80)

Explanation:

Note: The missing part of the question is <em>"Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:</em>"

i. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

Current assets = 38,600 + 9,000 + 40,000 + 240,000 + 17,400

Current assets = $345,000

Current liabilities= 87,200 + 22,300

Current liabilities = $109,500

Current ratio = $345,000 / $109,500

Current ratio = 3.15

ii. Acid-test ratio = {Current assets - (Inventory + Prepaid expenses)}/Current liabilities

Acid-test ratio = 345,000- (240,000  + 17,400 ) / 109,500

Acid-test ratio = 87,600 / 109,500

Acid-test ratio = 0.80

algol13

Answer:

Equilibrium price = $6

Total quantity in the market would be > 400 units ( unchanged )

Explanation:

Applying small=country model

world price of product = $6

import quota = 400 units

The Equilibrium price in Marketopia would be $6 and the total quantity available in Marketopia would > 400 units

This is because in a small country assumption model, the total imports made by any country is insignificant to the Total quantity of the products available in the market therefore it has no effect on the price of the products even if when the imports are stopped by the country
