The closest to the minimum number of consumers needed to obtain the estimate with the desired precision is (b) 271
Explanation:
When the prior estimate of population proportion is not given , then the formula to find the sample size is given by :-
where E = Margin of error.
z* = Critical z-value.
As per given , we have
E = 5%=0.05
Confidence level = 90%
The critical value of z at 90% is 1.645 (By z-table)
Put all values in the formula , we get
n=0.25(1.645/0.05)²
n=0.25(32.9)²
n=270.6025≈271
Thus, the minimum sample size needed = 271
Hence , the correct answer is 271 .
Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Mettel Products sells 100,000 flash drives annually to industrial distributors who resell the drives to business customers for $40 each. The distributors’ margins are 25%. Mettel Products’ cost of goods sold is $10.00 each. Mettel’s total variable costs (including selling costs) are $15.00 per drive.
Selling price= 40/1.25= $32
A) Gross margin= 32 - 15= 17
%= 53%
B) Mettel is considering increasing its annual advertising spending from $75,000 to $150,000.
Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin
Break-even points= 150,000/17= 8,824 units
C) Break-even points= 75,000/14= 5,357 units
Answer:
d. Market clearing price will fall, and equilibrium quantity will fall.
Explanation:
Inferior goods are those goods which do not behave normally to market.
As with increase in consumer spending capacity, their demand decreases.
Accordingly with decrease in demand , the prices will fall.
Thus, either Statement b is correct or statement d.
Since demand and price both tend to fall, the equilibrium quantity will fall for the same, as the demand will be low, the equilibrium quantity will fall to meet the demand level.
Thus, Statement D is correct.
Answer:
A receivable.
Explanation:
Mild Max Cycles had a notes receivables, which it already discounted with some financial institution, which later on the maturity date stand to be dishonored.
It is clear that the company earlier already collected the money against it, but now as the note receivable was discounted with recourse that is it provided assurance to the financial institution, in case of any failure, thus, the company will pay back to the financial institution and that the company still have the right to receive it back from the note receivable.
