Answer: 0.1282

Explanation:

Total number of possible outcome( total candidates) = 13

Total number of men = 13 - 8 = 5

Total number of women = 8

Number of candidates to be selected = 2

Find the probability that both are men :

Probability of 1st candidate being a male = required outcome ÷ total possible outcome = 5/13

Probability of second candidate being a male, means we now have 4 men left and a total of 12 = 4/12

Therefore, P = (5/13) × (4/12)

P = (5/13) ×(1/3) = 5/39 = 0.1282

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Company A's price per share is $45

Explanation:

The P/E ratio of one company can be used by investors and analysts to determine the value of another companie's stock in the industry. This is called apples-to-apples comparism.

The P/E ratio is used to value a company by comparing its share price to earnings per share.

P/E ratio= market value of shares/ earnings per share

For company B

P/E ratio= 30/2= $15

Using company B's P/E ratio as a benchmark for company A

15= Price per share /3

Price per share = 15*3= $45

Korolek [52]

Answer:

The First Bank loan has an effective rate of 7.98 percent.

Explanation:

we calcualte the effective rate for both loand and check which statement is correct.

<u>First bank:</u>

(1+\frac{0.077}{12} )^{12} = 1 + r_e

(1+\frac{0.077}{12} )^{12} - 1 = r_e

     1.07977643  - 1 = 0.07977 = 7.98%

<u>Second bank:</u>

(1+\frac{0.074}{365} )^{365} = 1 + r_e

(1+\frac{0.077}{365} )^{365} - 1 = r_e

     1.076798729   - 1 = 0.076798729  = 7.68%

Notice tthis isthe effective rate not the annual percentage rate.

So only the statement abour the first bank effectibe rate is true.

disa [49]

Milk is used in the production of cheese. Cheese and tofu are close substitutes in consumption. Milk and Oreos are complements in consumption. Suppose that the price of Oreos increases, how does this affect the market for tofu?

The correct answer is decreasing in price will increase the quantity demanded.

<h3>Why does price decrease when demand increases?</h3>

If demand does not change, there is an inverse relationship between the supply of goods and services and the price. As the supply of goods and services increases with the same demand, prices tend to fall to lower equilibrium prices and higher equilibrium quantities of goods and services.

The relationship between price and demand is negative. H. They are inversely proportional. The inverse relationship means that when the price of a product goes up, the demand for that product goes down, and vice versa. This is due to the law of reducing marginal utility.
