Answer:

The thickness of the walls is 0.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the thickness of each all by T.

The external dimensions of the room are 12 feet by 17 feet, and these values include thickness of 2 walls each, so the internal dimensions are (12-2T) and (17-2T).

If the internal area is 176, we have the equation:

(12-2T) * (17-2T) = 176

204 - 58T + 4T2 = 176

4T2 - 58T + 28 = 0

2T2 - 29T + 14 = 0

Using Bhaskara, we have:

Delta = (-29)^2 - 4*2*14 = 729

sqrt(D) = 27

T1 = (29 + 27)/4 = 14 feet

T2 = (29 - 27)/4 = 0.5 feet

As the first value is too big and would generate a negative side for the room, we have that the thickness of the walls is 0.5 feet.

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than a certain number of inches
Georgia [21]
So the “certain number” will be S.
Since 2width + 2length, the first part would be 2 times 2 which is 4
The length is S - 3
We then have to multiply this by 2
So it is 2(S-3) which is 2S-6
So the answer is 4+2S-6 which is 2S-2

Company XYZ closed at ​$46.07 per share with a​ P/E ratio of 16.66. Answer the following questions.
Andrew [12]

The amount of  earnings per share is $2.77.

<h3>Earnings per share</h3>

a. Earnings per share = price per share / (P/E) ratio

Earnings per share =   ​$46.07 / 16.66

Earnings per share=  $2.77

B. Overpriced or underpriced stock

At P/E ratio = 12

Earnings per share = ​$46.07  / 12

Earnings per share = $3.84

Earning yield = ( Earning per share / market value )× 100

Earning yield =  (3.84 /  ​$46.07   ) × 100

Earning yield  = 8.34%

At P/E ratio = 13

Earnings per share = ​$46.07  / 13

Earnings per share = $3.54

Earning Yield= (3.54 / 46.07 ) × 100

Earning Yield= 7.68%

At P/E ratio = 14

Earnings per share = ​$46.07 / 14

Earnings per share = $ 3.3

Earnings yield= ( 3.3 / 46.07 )×100

Earnings yield= 7.16%

Average of  earning yield given P/E ratio is 12-14

Average of  earning yield= ( 8.34 + 7.68 + 7.16 ) / 3

Average of  earning yield= 7.73%

Earning yield =  ( Earning per share / market value ) × 100

Earning yield= ( 2.77 / 46.07 ) ×100

Earning yield = 6.01%

Hence, Based on the above the stock is underpriced.
