The probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean is:
= 56%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Population mean (preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns) = $273
Population standard deviation of preparation fees = $100
Mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns = $257 (which is within $16 of the population mean)
z = (x-μ)/σ
z = standard score
x = observed value
μ = mean of the sample
σ = standard deviation of the sample
Z = ($273 - $257)/$100
= 0.16
Using the z-table
P = 0.5636
The corridor is the vertical section of the supply curve of reserves in the federal fund market.
Answer: The correct answer is B : a $5,000 decrease in cash, a $15,000 increase in notes payable, and a $20,000 increase in equipment, all entered on the same date.
Explanation: The option B is correct because we are accounting for a purchase of a piece of equipment. The options in the questions show that the purchase was partly through cash and partly through notes payable. Since that is the case, the appropriate entries should record a cash outflow (credit to cash to decrease it), increase in notes payable as a result (credit to notes payable to increase) and subsequently, increase in equipment (debit to equipment). <em>So, the total credits equal the total debit.</em>

Answer:
a. budget constraint intersects the vertical axis at 25 beers.
Explanation:
A budget constraint shows all the combinations that a consumer might purchase of two given products or services. The total consumption can be represented by a consumption possibilities frontier curve:
- originally you could purchase 50 beers or 5 hot wings
- then as the price of beer increases to $2, you can only buy 25 beers or 5 hot wings
Answer:
The answer is: C) the elasticity of demand, where the shortages will be larger if demand is more inelastic.
Explanation:
When the demand for a product is completely inelastic it means that the quantity demanded for that product will be the same whether its price increases or decreases. Rarely any product is completely inelastic, but inelasticity shows a tendency of buyers to keep buying a product even if its price rises, for example gasoline.
Inelastic products don´t follow the law of supply and demand, since the price doesn´t alter the demand.
If suppliers can produce enough goods (product shortages) and the quantity demanded stays the same, the price will rise. But if the demand for the product is inelastic then the shortage will get worse since every time more people will want to buy the product and their will be less product to buy.
