Answer:

Relative Frequency = Observed value for each cell / Total frequency * 100

Cause                       Relative Frequency

Pilot Error                           619

Other human error             85

Weather                              574

Mechanical problems        566

Sabotage                            524

Total                                   2368

The total frequency is 2368

The calculation of the relative frequency distribution is

Cause                          Relative Frequency           Result

Pilot Error                         619/2368 * 100              26.14%

Other human error           85/2368 * 100               3.59%

Weather                            574/2368 * 100             24.24%

Mechanical problems      566/2368 * 100             23.90%

Sabotage                          524/2368 * 100             <u>22.13%</u>

Total                                                                          100%

Conclusion: The most serious threat to aviation safety is the Pilot error as it has the highest frequency. Pilot need to be more equipped with understanding and knowledge of how to deal with unexpected event i.e. turbulence, engine failure among others..

mario62 [17]

Answer:

D.the semiannual interest payment amount is $24000

Explanation:

Debt securities are recorded on the purchase price of the securities which includes purchase price and any brokerage costs etc. Cost recorded and maturity value of this security will be $300,000 because these are issued on par and will mature on par value.The semiannual interest payment will be $12,000 ( $300,000 x ( 8% /2)) rather than $24,000. Interest revenue will also be credited to the interest revenue account. So the only incorrect option is D.the semiannual interest payment amount is $24000.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Missing information:

Fixed administrative expense $ 16,200 Variable selling expense $ 20,250 Variable administrative expense $ ? Contribution margin $ 81,000 Net operating income $ 24,300

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

2. Prepare a traditional format income statement.

3. Calculate the selling price per unit.

4. Calculate the variable cost per unit.

5. Calculate the contribution margin per unit.

Answer:

First we must determine cost of goods sold = $27,000 + $270,000 - $13,500 = $283,500

now we must find total variable costs = total sales - contribution margin = $405,00 - $81,000 = $324,000

variable administrative expenses = total variable costs - COGS - variable selling expense = $324,000 - $283,500 - $20,250 = $20,250

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

Total sales                                                              $405,000

<u>Cost of goods sold                                                $283,500</u>

Gross contribution margin                                      $121,500

Variable selling expense                                        $20,250

<u>Variable adm. expense                                          $20,250</u>

Contribution margin                                                $81,000

Fixed period expenses:

  • Fixed selling expense                                   $40,500
  • <u>Fixed administrative expense                       $16,200</u>

Net operating income                                            $24,300

2. Prepare a traditional format income statement.

Total sales                                                              $405,000

<u>Cost of goods sold                                                $283,500</u>

Gross profit                                                              $121,500

Operating expenses:

Selling expenses                                                     $60,750

<u>Adm. expenses                                                       $36,450</u>

Net operating income                                            $24,300

3. Calculate the selling price per unit.

  • $405

4. Calculate the variable cost per unit.

  • $324

5. Calculate the contribution margin per unit.
