Answer:

Continuous random variable

Explanation:

Continuous random variable is the one of the random variable which is defined as where the data could take infinitely many values for the variable.

For example, the random variable evaluates the time taken for doing something which is to be done or performed on continuous basis as there are infinite number of the possible times could be taken or consider.

So, in this case, the experiment comprise of evaluating the automobile speeds on the highway. Under this experiment, it have the infinite number. Therefore, this a continuous random variable

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

money supply will increase by 2,400,000

Explanation:

the expansion f the money supply will be:

the money multiplier will be:

1/reserve ratio = 1/0.125 = 8

300,000 x 8 = 2,400,000

The reasoning for the multiplier effect is the following:

once the money is received, it will be used, and the person who receive the cash will deposit their proceeds.

This amount, can generate a new loan for, the remainder after subtracting the required reserve.

300,000 - 12.5% = 262,500

And this, once used will also end in a deposit. This opens the posibility for another loan, after reducing the reserve

262,500 - 12.5% = 229,687.5‬

This can be reapeat again and again and the limit for this is the formula state above:

multiplier effect = 1/reserve ratio

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Apple Inc.

a. Calculate Apple Inc.'s working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio at September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your ratio answers to 1 decimal place. Enter "Working capital" in million of dollars.)

September 2014:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $45,660,000 - $34,978,000 = $10,682,000

b) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 - 930 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

September 2013:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $41,940,000 - $21,160,000 = $20,780,000

b) Current Ratio  = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 / $21,160 = 2 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 -1,200 / $21,160 = 1.9 : 1

b. Calculate Apple's ROE for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $26,050/$77,290 x 100 = 33.7%

September 2013

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $14,160/$48,050 x 100 = 29.5%

c. Calculate Apple's ROI, showing margin and turnover, for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round "Turnover" answers to 2 decimal places. Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROI = Margin x Turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($33,950/$108,400) x ($108,400/$120,880)

= 0.31 x 0.90

= 0.279 = 27.9%

Average Assets = $120,880 ($147,820 + 93,940) /2

September 2013

ROI = margin = turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($18,530/$65,370) x ($65,370/$70,880)

= 0.28 x 0.92

= 0.258 = 25.8%

Average Assets = $70,880 ($93,940 + 47,820) /2

b) Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.  It shows the amount of finance needed for meeting day-to-day operations of an entity.  Working capital measures a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and its short-term financial health.  A healthy entity has some excess of current assets over current liabilities in order to continue to run the business operations in the short-run.  Working capital can also be measured in relative terms with the use of ratios, especially the current ratio and the acid-test ratio.

c) ROE means Return on equity.  It is a financial performance measure calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity.   Since shareholders' equity is equal to a company's assets minus its debt, ROE is considered as the return on net assets.  As with return on capital, a ROE measures management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.

d) Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial performance measure which evaluates the efficiency of an investment or compares the efficiency of a number of different investments.  ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost.  As a financial metric, it measures the probability of gaining a return from an investment.

Orlando Company, which applies overhead to production on the basis of machine hours, reported the following data for the period
astraxan [27]

Answer:

$37,600 favorable

Explanation:

Variable overhead spending variance can be computed as;

= (Actual hours worked × Actual variable overhead rate) - ( Actual hours worked - Standard variable overhead rate)

= ( 18,800 hours × $77,700/12,000) - (18,800 hours × $4.5)

= [(18,800 × $6.5) - (18,800 × $4.5)]

= $122,200 - $84,600

= $37,600 favorable
