Answer:

B). Response bias

D). The interviewer should reword the question.

Explanation:

Response bias is described as the type of bias in which a variety of tendencies are displayed by the respondents to answer the questions asked in the survey inaccurately or misleadingly. These false responses eventually lead to a false or deceiving conclusion. In the given survey, 'response bias' is displayed as the respondents may display a tendency to answer the question falsely as the feeling of 'patriotism' evoked by the word 'patriotic' may prevent their original opinions to come out. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer to describe the bias in this survey.

In order to prevent this bias, the interviewer must 'reword the question' and remove the word 'patriotic' as it develops the feeling of patriotism in the respondents which mars them from answering accurately and share their true opinions or thoughts in the regards of 'supporting armed forces.' This rewording will help evoke the true and authentic responses without any bias. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer to remedy the bias.

olasank [31]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold to be reported in  consolidated financial statement = $1,000,000

Explanation:

Whenever there is 100% or more than 50% holding in a company, then equity method is followed under which all of the items are to be consolidated, but in case where there are inter transfers that is transfer from holding to subsidiary or vice-versa then such transactions, profit not realized is to be eliminated.

In case where inventory is transferred to subsidiary after adding profit by holding company, then in case if that inventory is sold to third party by year end then entire profit is recognized even the profit added by holding to cost of goods sold to subsidiary.

Where in case such inventory is not sold further by subsidiary to third party and is still held in the stock then such profit added on sale by holding to subsidiary is eliminated.

In our case the entire inventory is sold to third party by the year end.

Therefore, entire profit will be recognized and cost of goods sold to be shown in consolidated financial statements = $600,000 + $400,000 = $1,000,000.

Plan production for a four-month period: February through May. For February and March, you should produce to exact demand foreca
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May

In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers

In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.

In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.

The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.

5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .

In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.

The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$16,875

Explanation:

The amount received per year is $15,000 and the CPI increased from 144 to 162

Inflation rate = (New CPI - Old CPI)/Old CPI * 100

Inflation rate = 162-144/144 * 100

Inflation rate = 0.125

Inflation rate = 12.5%

Amount received = $15,000 * 12.5% = $1,875

==> $15,000 + $1,875 = $16,875

So, Grandmother will receive $16,875

A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X 5 demand for the magazine, with pmf Su
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the demand for the magazine, the pmf for X is given by:

X       1            2           3          4        5        6      

P(X)  1/15      2/15       3/15     4/15   3/15     2/15

3 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*3 = $ 6

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$6 = -$2 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$6 = $2 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$6 = $6 , X=3 (demand 3)

For the values of X=4,5,6 the net revenue will be $6 since the number of magazines is 3

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-2) +\frac{2}{15} *(2) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) + \frac{4}{15}*(6) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) +\frac{2}{15}*(6) = \frac{74}{15}=4.93

4 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*4 = $ 8

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$8 = -$4 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$8 = $0 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$8 = $4 , X=3 (demand 3)

$4*4-$8 = $8 , X=4 (demand 4)

For the values of X=5,6 the net revenue will be $8 since the number of magazines is 4

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-4) +\frac{2}{15} *(0) +\frac{3}{15}*(4) + \frac{4}{15}*(8) +\frac{3}{15}*(8) +\frac{2}{15}*(8) = \frac{80}{15}=5.33

As as we can see we have a higher expected value for the case with 4 magazines.
