Answer:

D : project's rate of return is less than the required rate of return.

Explanation:

Net present value (NPV) is a projects evaluation technique that analyzes the present values of predicted future revenues and expenses. In other words, NPV is the current value of future inflows minus costs. In calculating the NPV, future values are discounted with an appropriate discount rate to give the present value.

The NPV can be a positive, zero or negative. Projects with positive NPV are preferred because they are considered profitable. A negative NPV signals that the present value of the expected inflows is lower than the current value of the projected cost at the required discount rate. If the discount rate is maintained, the project is a loss-making venture.

The use of a very high discount rate may give any projects a negative NPV.

Suppose a three-person comittee is formed for a culb by drawing names out of a hat. If the expected number of women is 2 and the

tangare [24]

Answer: 20 women

Explanation:

Making the total number of women in the club 'x', we can then do the following,

Total Number of Names in Hat, N

N = x + 10 ( total number of men)

therefore total number of names in the hat N=x+10

We need to select 3 people so sample size = 3

Using the Hypergeometric Distribution then we can then use the formula,

Expected number of women on the Committee = k * n / N

Where k is the total number

2 = x * 3 / (x + 10)

2 = 3x/(x +10)

3x = 2x +20

x = 20

There are 20 women in the club.
