Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In direct proportion, as the first variable increases (decreases), the second variable also increases (decreases). In mathematical statements, it can be expressed as y = kx. This reads as “y varies directly as x” or “y is directly proportional as x” where k is constant in the equation

In this equation, y and x are the two directly proportional quantities and k is a proportionality constant that tells you exactly how they are related (like 10 cents/piece above). On a graph, a direct proportion will look like a straight line and the slope of the line will be equal to the constant k

Orange M&M’s: The M&M’s web site says that 20% of milk chocolate M&M’s are orange. Let’s assume this is true and set

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s.

The proportion of orange milk chocolate M&M’s is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.

The number of candies in a small bag of milk chocolate M&M’s is, <em>n</em> = 55.

The event of an milk chocolate M&M being orange is independent of the other candies.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 55 and <em>p</em> = 0.20.

The expected value of a Binomial random variable is:

$E(X)=np$

Compute the expected number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a bag of 55 candies as follows:

$E(X)=np$

$=55\times 0.20\\=11$

It is provided that in a randomly selected bag of milk chocolate M&M's there were 14 orange ones, i.e. the proportion of orange milk chocolate M&M's in a random bag was 25.5%.

This proportion is not surprising.

This is because the average number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a bag of 55 candies is expected to be 11. So, if a bag has 14 orange milk chocolate M&M’s it is not unusual at all.

All unusual events have a very low probability, i.e. less than 0.05.

Compute the probability of P (X ≥ 14) as follows:

$P(X\geq 14)=\sum\limits^{55}_{x=14}{{55\choose x}0.20^{x}(1-0.20)^{55-x}}$

$=0.1968$

The probability of having 14 or more orange candies in a bag of milk chocolate M&M’s is 0.1968.

This probability is quite larger than 0.05.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,020,00

1. The Year-0 net cash flow is -$1,061,500.

2. The net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3 are as follows:

Year 1: $288,750 ($386,000 x 1 - 0.25)

Year 2: $288,750 ($386,000 x 1 - 0.25)

Year 3: $288,750 ($386,000 x 1 - 0.25)

3. The additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital) is $468,750 {($599,000 x 1 - 0.25) + $19,500}.

4. The NPV of the project is ($13,139).

5. The machine should not be purchased because it does not yield a positive NPV.

<h3>What is the net present value?</h3>

The net present value (NPV) shows the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time.

It is determined by calculating the present values of cash flows using their present value factors as below:

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Initial cash outlay = $1,061,500 ($1,020,000 + $22,000 + $19,500)

Salvage value = $599,000

Increase in net working capital = $19,500

Annual savings before tax = $386,000

Tax rate = 25%

Annuial savings after tax = $288,750 ($386,000 x 1 - 0.25)

<h3>Determination of Net Present Value (NPV):</h3>

Year Cashflows PV Factor Present Value

0 -$1,061,500 1 -$1,061,500

1 $288,750 0.901 $260,164

2 $288,750 0.812 $234,465

3 $288,750 0.731 $211,076

3 $468,750 0.731 $342,656

Net present value -$13,139

Thus, the project should not be undertaken by The Campbell Company due to the negative NPV that it yields.
