Explanation:

There are the following conditions to build a confidence interval for a population proportion:

Sample of size n from a large population

Individuals chosen independent of one another

At least 15 failures and 15 sucesses in the sample.

In this problem, we have that:

Sample of 100 people

They are chosen at random at the market, so it means that the probability that an individual likes the new design is independent of any other individuals.

82 successes and 18 failures.

So yes, the conditions for creating a confidence interval for the population proportion have been met.

Byrd Company decided to analyze certain costs for June of the current year. Units started into production equaled 14,000 and end

Molodets [167]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Units Started into the production = 14,000 Units

Ending work in process = 2,000 units

Transferred Units = Units in the starting - Ending work in process

= 14,000 units - 2,000 Units

= 12,000 Units

Equivalent units = Transferred units + Ending work in process in units × % of Completion

= 12,000 Units + 2,000 Units × 25% complete

= 12,000 + 2,000 × 0.25

= 12,000 units + 500 units

= 12,500 units

Total Conversion cost = $52,500

$Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{Total\ Conversion\ cost}{Equivalent\ Units}$

$Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{52,500}{12,500}$

= $4.2
