Timothy Carter has net monthly income of $3,800. He has a monthly auto loan payment of $350, a student loan payment of $150, a m

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

45.9%

Explanation:

The computation of the debt payment to income ratio is as follows:

Income = $3,800

And,

Debt payment is

= auto loan payment + student loan payment +mortgage payment + credit card payment

= $350 + $150 + $1200 + $45

= $1745

So,

Debt payment to income ratio is

= Debt payment ÷ income

= $1,745 ÷ $3,800

= 0.459

= 45.9%

Sav [38]

Answer:

$9,240 loss recognized

$43,000 basis

Explanation:

Tax basis of share purchase is the cost of share together with any tax related to this purchase.

Mr. Slake's loss recognized on the February 13 sale is $9,240 = total cost of 1,580 share purchased in the past - total amount collected from sales of these share = $49,240 - $40,000 = $9,240

His tax basis in purchase of 1,600 shares on Mar 2 is $43,000, the total cost he paid to acquire 1,600 shares

The probability that a randomly selected education major received a starting salary offer greater than $52,350 is . The probabil

AveGali [126]

Answer:

1. 0.0808

2. 0.5371

3. 58.2%

Explanation:

The first part of the question, with the input data, is missing.

This is missing part:

Assume that X, the starting salary offer for education majors, is normally distributed with a mean of $46,292 and a standard deviation of $4,320

<h2>Solution</h2><h2 />

Question 1: The probability that a randomly selected education major received a starting salary offer greater than $52,350 is ________

Find the Z-score.

The Z-score is the standardized value of the random variable and represents the number of standard deviations the value of the random variable is away from the mean:

$Z-score=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z-score=\dfrac{\$52,350-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=1.40$

$P(X>\$52,350)=P(Z>1.40)=P(Z$

The standard normal distribution tables give the cumulative probabilities as the cumulative area under the bell-shaped curve. P(Z>1.40) is the area under the curve that is to the right of Z = 1.40 or, what is the same, P(Z<-1.40) is the area to the left of Z = - 1.40.

Using the former, the table indicates P(Z>1.40) = 0.0808, which is 8.08%

Question 2: The probability that a randomly selected education major received a starting salary offer between $45,000 and $52,350 is _______.

Now you must find the area under the curve between the two Z-scores.

$Z(X=$45,000)=\dfrac{\$45,000-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=-0.30$

$Z(X=$52,350)=\dfrac{\$52,350-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=1.40$

Then, you must find the area between Z = -0.30 and Z = 1.40

That is P(Z<1.40) - P(Z < - 0.30) = P(Z > - 1.40) - P(Z < - 0.30)

= 1 - P(Z< -1.40) - P( Z < -0.30)

Now, you can work with the area under the curve to the left of Z = - 1.40 and to the left of Z = - 0.30.

From the corresponding table, that is: 1 - 0.0808 - 0.3821 = 0.5371

Question 3. What percentage of education majors received a starting offer between $38,500 and $45,000?

For X = $38,500:

$Z=\dfrac{\$38,500-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=-1.80$

For X = $45,000

Z = -0.3 (calculated above)

Then, you must find the area under the curve to the right of Z = - 1.80 and to the left of Z = - 0.3

P (Z > - 1.80) - P (Z < - 0.3)

1 - P (Z < - 1.80) - P (Z < - 0.3)

1 - 0.0359 - 0.3821 = 0.582 = 58.2%

A decrease in the demand for pastry chefs may come about because of an:

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

D) Increase in the market wage rate for pastry chefs.

Explanation:

A decreased demand may be caused by an increased wage rate of pastry chefs. Since a bakery may hire this expensive labor and produce pastries, this will result in increased cost for the bakery, this will be passed on to the consumers in turn for increased prices. Consumers will buy less of it and thus demand for pastries will fall requiring bakeries to hire less chefs.

Hope that helps.
