Answer:
Sustainable Growth Rate: 2.5%
Explanation:
Sustainable growth rate is calculated by multiplying return on equity with retention ratio.
Logic behind above is that whatever portion of net profit is retained by the Company, is used in the Company's operations, which earns certain percentage of equity known as return on equity. By multiplying both return on equity with retention ratio, we assume that the practice will continue for foreseeable future and the Company will continue to grow at the calculated growth rate.
Growth rate = Retention ratio * return on equity
Retention ratio = 50%
Return on equity = Net profit available for distribution / Opening equity
Return on Equity = (25,000 * 10%) / 50,000
Return on Equity = 5%
Growth Rate = 5% * 50%
Growth Rate = 2.5%
Answer:
Incomplete question
First aspect of the question is typed below.
The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 20-minute oil-change facility
is unknown. However, records indicate that the mean time is 2l.2-minutes, and the standard deviation 3.5 minutes.
Explanation:
Employees bonus $50
35 oil changes between 10:00 am to 12:00pm
n = 35
10% changes
So, the z - score can be calculated using
z-score = InvNorm(0.10)
z-score = -1.28
So, given that,
Standard deviation is 3.5minutes
σ = 3.5 minutes
Mean time is 21.2 minutes
μx = 21.2 minutes
Then,
σx = σ / √n
σx = 3.5 / √35
σx = 0.5916 minutes
Then, Z score can be written as
Z = (x - μx) / σx
-1.28 = (x - 21.2) / 0.5916
Cross multiply
-1.28 × 0.5916 = x - 21.2
-0.7573 = x - 21.2
x = 21.2 - 0.7573
x = 20.443 minutes
There is a 10% chance of being at or below a mean oil-change time of 20.44 minutes
Answer:
STOCKS
Explanation:
US government bond is a government security, therefore the government print more money to pay those who invest in it.
In addition bondholders are creditors of a corporation.
Stockholders, are part owners of a company. In case of bankruptcy, bondholders are given priority.
Savings accounts are protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provisions.
Money market accounts are a safe investment because they are insured by the FDIC.
Therefore the investment option that has the highest risk is stocks.

Answer:
The Diary Survey.
Explanation:
"The other national data sources and its publishing period are highlighted in the next cite:
"The Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) is a nationwide household survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to find out how Americans spend their money. It is the only federal government survey that provides information on the complete range of consumers’ expenditures as well as their incomes and demographic characteristics. BLS publishes 12-month estimates of consumer expenditures twice a year with the estimates summarized by various income levels and household characteristics. BLS also produces annual public-use microdata files to help researchers analyze the data in more detail.
The CE consists of estimates derived from two separate surveys, the Interview Survey and the Diary Survey. The Quarterly Interview Survey is designed to collect data on large and recurring expenditures that consumers can be expected to recall for a period of 3 months or longer, such as rent and utilities, and the Diary Survey is designed to collect data on small, frequently purchased items, including most food and clothing. Together, the data from the two surveys cover the complete range of consumers’ expenditures. CE data are collected for BLS by the U.S. Census Bureau."
