an income for all families in this suburb is $60,000 and that 40% of all families in the suburb have incomes above $72,000.

Answer:

a) 0.10 or 10%

b) 0.5417 or 54.17%

Explanation:

a) The median income of $60,000 is at the 50th percentile of the distribution. If 40% if incomes are above $72,000, then an income of $72,000 is at the 60th percentile of the distribution. Therefore, the probability that a family's income will be between $60,000 and $72,000 is:

P( \$60,000 \leq X \leq \$72,000)=0.6-0.5\\P( \$60,000 \leq X \leq \$72,000)=0.1 = 10\%

b) If the distribution is known to be uniform, the probability that a random chosen family has an income below $65,000 is:

P( X \leq \$65,000)=0.5+\frac{65,000-60,000}{72,000-60,000}*0.1\\ P( X \leq \$65,000)=0.5417 =54.17\%

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Note: Missing question is attached below

Market value of equity = Shares * Share price = 20,000 * $58 = $1,160,000

Total debt = Current liabilities + Long term debt = $83,416 + $145,000 = $228,416

Book value of assets = $627,868

Tobin's Q = MV of equity + Bv of debt / Bv of assets

Tobin's Q = $1,160,000 + $228,416 / $627,868

Tobin's Q = 2.21

Assume a division of Hewlett-Packard currently makes 12,000 circuit boards per year used in producing diagnostic electronic inst
madam [21]

Answer:

The net benefit is -$26,000

Explanation:

Given the above information,

The total cost of manufacturing 12,000 circuit boards

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Total purchase price

= 12,000 × $34

= $408,000

Fixed overhead cost applied

= 12,000 × $6

= $72,000

The rental income = $46,000

Outsourcing cost

= Total purchase price + Fixed overhead cost applied - Rental income

= $408,000 + $72,000 - $46,000

= $434,000

Therefore, Net benefit

= Total cost of manufacturing - Outsourcing cost

=$408,000 - $434,000

= -$26,000

Statement: "Whenever a company’s activities reduce the quality of life for nearby homeowners, the company should be legally requ
olganol [36]

Answer:

2) assumption not made

Explanation:

The original statement does not include any assumption about what the companies are doing about this issue, it just proposes an idea of fair compensation.

maybe whoever wrote this statement believes that very few companies or none at all actually compensate homeowners for a reduction in the market value of their properties, but it doesn't state it. It is also possible that the statement assumes that companies are paying some compensations or were paying some compensations but are not willing to continue to do it since no legislation forces them to do so. The author's position is vague and not clear with respect to what the companies are currently doing.
