Answer:

95% confident that the true proportion of service contracts sold on treadmills versus exercise bikes is between -0.1969 and 0.02689.

Explanation:

S1 = number of service contracts for sold treadmills

S2 = number of service contracts for sold Exercise Bikes

P1 = 67/185 = .362162

P2 = 55/123 = .447154

P=n1p1 +n2p2/ n1 + N2 = 185*.362 + 123*.447/ 185 + 123 = .3961

Standard Error = .0571

Margin of Error = E = Za/2 * Se = 1.96 * .0571 = .1119

Lower Limit = (P1 – P2) – E =(.362 - .447) - .1119 = -.1969

Upper Limit = (P1 – P2) + E = (.362 -.447_ + .1119 =.02691

Therefore 95% confident that the true proportion of service contracts sold on treadmills versus exercise bikes is between -0.1969 and 0.02689.

The price elasticity of demand for a good is likely to be less elastic​ __________.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

if a change in the price of the good brings about a much smaller change in the quantity demanded for the good.

Explanation:

<em>The price elasticity of demand is a measure of the change in the demand for a good in relation to a change in the price of the same good. </em>Mathematically, the price elasticity of demand for a product is represented as:

Price elasticity = change in the quantity demanded/change in price

The value of price elasticity of demand ranges from 0 to infinity. The price elasticity of demand is

  • relatively inelastic when the value is less than 1,
  • unitary elastic when it is equal to 1,
  • relatively elastic when it is greater than 1,
  • perfectly inelastic when it is equal to 0, and
  • perfectly elastic when the value is infinity.

<u>Less elastic price elasticity of demand is equivalent to relatively inelastic price elasticity. This thus means that the price elasticity of demand is less than 1; a percentage change in the price of the good brings about a disproportionately smaller percentage change in the quantity demanded for the good.</u>

The market risk, beta, of a security is equal to Group of answer choices the variance of the security's returns divided by the c
GaryK [48]

Answer:

the covariance between the security's return and the market return divided by the variance of the market's returns

Explanation:

The market risk, beta of the security would be equivalent to the

Beta = Cov(rm, rs) ÷  Var(rm)

Rm denotes  market return

rs denotes security return

Cov denotes covariance

Var denotes variance

Hence, the second option is correct

And, the rest of the options are wrong

Harlan Bikes wants to close an unprofitable division with an expensive mortgage, high advertising costs, and high raw material c
Rudiy27

Answer:

Quantitatively, Harlan Bikes is justified in deciding to close the department, but there are other qualitative factors that need to be considered which may result in the company loosing much more that they can save if the department is closed, such as for example a decrease in employee morale, a negative signalling effect to other stakeholders, a drop in sales in related products etc.

Explanation:

A decrease in employee morale can result especially if workers  in other departments are no-longer sure about their future in the company, resulting from fears of their departments being closed. This can negatively affect productivity resulting in lower profits in other department.

A negative signalling effect means that other stakeholders such as investors and creditors may start questioning managements ability to profitably run the business, and the company will be perceived as more risky. Cost of debt and cost of equity capital for example, may go up, due to this higher perceived risk, and  which may reduce the number of positive net present value projects that the company can undertake due to an increase in cost of capital.

If the company carries related products in other departments, it may also see a drop in sales in those sales, which will effectively reduced the savings that are estimated  to be gained from closing the division.

The difference of $4,000 in net profit is as a result of $4,000 difference in closing inventory.

                                     

Explanation:

In marginal costing, variable costs are deducted from sales in order to obtain the contribution margin. Net profit is calculated by deducting fixed costs from the contribution margin. Closing stock is valued at marginal cost per unit in marginal costing. Closing stock is the difference between production units and sales units. Marginal cost is the sum total of all variable costs.

In absorption costing, full costs are deducted from sales in order to obtain the gross profit. Net profit is the difference between gross profit and selling and administrative expenses. Closing stock is valued at full cost in absorption costing. Full cost is the aggregate of variable costs per unit and fixed costs per unit.
