The correct answer is "to survey <span>every 30th employee entering each mall entrance for one week".

Why is it considered to be the best method to get a random sample of the employees? The 30th employee, who enters the mall for the week is a random element and may work at different locations in the mall, which gives you a better random sample for the survey.</span>

Paul [167]

Answer:

Compounding interest rate, r = 10.41%

Explanation:

As the investment will be doubled after 7 years from now, the future value of the current investment will be = $10,000 × 2 = $20,000

Therefore,

Number of periods (years), n = 7

Future value, FV = $20,000

Principal = Present Value, PV = $10,000

we have to determine the compounding interest rate, r.

We know,

r = [(\frac{FV}{PV})^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1]

Putting the values into the formula, we can get,

r = [(\frac{20,000}{10,000})^{\frac{1}{7}} - 1]

or, r =(2^{\frac{1}{7}} - 1)

With the help of calculator, we can find the value of 2^{\frac{1}{7}} = 1.1041

or, r = (1.1041 - 1)

or, r = 0.1041

Therefore, interest rate = 10.41%

= $320,000

2a. Total Variable cost per unit

Variable costs Per unit :

Direct labor                                 $ 10

Direct materials                              6

Factory overhead                         $ 4

Variable Product Cost  ($20)

Administrative and selling           $ 5

Total Variable cost per unit     $25

b. Total fixed cost per unit

Total fixed cost per unit = $2,400,000/160,000 = $15

c. The selling price per unit

Sales / quantity = $7,520,000/160,000 = $47

Explanation:

Data:

Variable costs Per unit :

Direct labor                         $ 10

Direct materials                      6

Factory overhead                $ 4

Variable Product Cost      $20

Administrative and selling  $ 5

Total Variable cost per unit      $25

EA

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing                       $ 1,600,000

Administrative and selling          800,000

Total fixed costs                   $2,400,000

b) Cost-plus approach to product pricing:  This approach requires the addition of the direct materials, direct labor, and overhead costs

c) Required profit = 10% of invested assets

= $3,200,000 x 10%

= $320,000

d) Product cost:

Variable cost = $20 x 160,000 = $3,200,000

Fixed manufacturing costs          $1,600,000

Total production cost                  $4,800,000

Product cost per unit $4,800,000/160,000 = $30

e) Income Statement to determine Sales Revenue

Sales                           $7,520,000

Cost of goods sold

      ($30 x 160,000)     4,800,000

Gross profit                $2,720,000

Fixed Costs:

Manufacturing            $ 1,600,000

You own a portfolio consisting of the following​ stocks:
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

expected return is 15.8%

portfolio beta is 94.5%

Explanation:

a. EXPECTED RETURN: to calculate the the expected return of, we simply multiply each of the stock percentage by its expected return and then sum it up. thus we have

0.2×0.16 + 0.3×0.14 + 0.15×0.2 + 0.25×0.12 + 0.1×0.24= 0.158

Multiply the result by 100% yields 15.8%

B. PORTFOLIO BETA: to calculate the portfolio beta, we simply multiply the weighted average of the stock percentage by the portfolio beta. thus we have;

0.2×1 + 0.3×0.85 + 0.15×1.2 + 0.25×0.6 + 0.1×1.6= 0.945

multiply the result by 100% yields 94.5%

Allisa [31]

Answer: $618,096

Explanation:

Accumulated depreciation after 5 years = 20% + 32% + 19.2% + 11.52

= 82.72%

Value after 4 years = 3,300,000 * ( 1 - 82.72%)

= $570,240

Gain on sale = Salvage value - Net book value

= 650,000 - 570,240

= $79,760

Aftertax salvage value = 650,000 - (Gain on sale * tax)

= 650,000 - (79,760 * 40%)

= $618,096

According to, "Ditching the Dollar," having multiple reserve currencies to choose from is healthy because:
posledela

Answer: D. If one country creates all the reserves it can prevent other countries from trading.

Explanation:

<em>Ditching the Dollar</em> refers to a movement by nations to reduce the dependence on the US. dollar for transactions.

The USD is the major currency for trade around the world with it accounting for the currency of use in more than 50% of the entire World trade. This was due to the Bretton Woods Agreement and System which at the time pegged the USD to gold and other currencies at certain value to the USD.

The influence the USD gained that day continues today. Countries however are increasing becoming fed up by the United States using the Dollar to impose trade restrictions and sanctions on countries and then requiring everyone to fall in line because trades are mostly done in the currency controlled by the US, the USD.

For instance, when sanctions were imposed on Iran, the European Union looked for alternative means of payment for Iranian oil.

Ditching the Dollar therefore argues that having multiple reserve currencies to choose from is healthy because one country will not be able to control world trade as the US has.
