Answer:

Standard Deviation = 40%

Z score value = Z Score at significance 5% = 1.645

Placing values in the formula

Var = 20% + 40% x 1.645

Var = 0.2 + 0.4 x 1.645

Var = 0.2 + 0.658

Var = 0.858

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Social media relates to all the technology that makes information sharing possible via the Internet. It is largely based on subject matter that users create and share.

Ace Industries has a current assets equal to $3 illion . the company's current ratio is 1.5. and its quick ratio is 1.0.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

$2,000,000

$1,000,000

Explanation:

We know that

Current ratio = Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities  

1.5 = $3,000,000 ÷ total current liabilities  

So, the total current liabilities would be

= $2,000,000

And

Quick ratio = Quick assets ÷ total current liabilities  

1.0 = Quick assets ÷ $2,000,000

Quick assets = $2,000,000

So, the inventory would be

= Total current assets - quick assets

= $3,000,000 - $2,000,000

= $1,000,0000

12. Sales Salaries = 3. Total earnings - 11. Factory Wages - 13. Office Salaries)

= (430,000 - 227,900  -  86,000)

= $116,100
