Answer and Explanation:

A. The point estimate of individuals that would provide yes responses is the sample proportion. The sample proportion is calculated by dividing number of yes responses by sample size:

p = x/n = 200/700= 0.2857

B. The standard error of the population is the square root of the product of the point estimate and it's complement divided by the sample size given by

√p(1-p)/n

=√0.2857(1-0.2857)/700= 0.0170

C. For confidence level 95%, z score is calculated 1-0.95= 0.05/2= 0.025

Z score checked under the table = 1.96

Boundaries=

P-1.96 *standard error and p+1.96 *standard error

= 0.2857-1.96*0.0170= -0.25238

=0.2857+1.96*0.0170= 0.31902

Note : BODMAS demands we multiply first in the above calculation before subtraction or addition.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each bottle is sold for $5. The company recently had the following costs to produce 12,000 units of its product during August:

(1) Rent of $5,000 on a billboard to help advertise the product

(2) Rent on factory and equipment of $8,000

(3) Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers $24,000

(4) Tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles $18,000

(5) Total payroll for salaried, administrative staff $6,000

The company sold 8,000 units.

A) First, we need to calculate the total and unitary cost of production:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + factory overhead

Total cost= tomatoes, onions, spices, and bottles + Total payroll for hourly-paid, factory workers + Rent on factory and equipment

Total cost= 18,000 + 24,000 + 8,000

TC= 50,000

Unitary cost= 50,000/12,000= $4.17 per bottle

Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= unitary cost* units sold= 4.17*8,000= $33,360

B) Income statement:

Sales= 8,000*5= 40,000

COGS= (33,360)

Gross profit= 6,640

Selling expense= (5,000)

Administrative expense= (6,000)

Net operating income= (4,360)

C) Inventory= unitary cost* ending inventory in units

Inventory= 4.17*4,000= $16,680

You are bearish on Telecom and decide to sell short 100 shares at the current market price of $50 per share.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

A. $2,500

B. $60

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine How much in cash or securities must you put into your brokerage account if the broker's initial margin requirement is 50% of the value of the short position

Initial Margin = 100*$50*50%

Initial Margin = $2,500

Therefore The amount of securities that you must put into your brokerage account if the broker's initial margin requirement is 50% of the value of the short position is $2,500

b. Calculation to determine How high can the price of the stock go before you get a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30% of the value of the short position

First step is to calculate the Maintenance Margin per share

Maintenance Margin per share = $50*30%

Maintenance Margin per share =$15

Second step is to calculate the Rise in price required

Rise in price required = $50*50% - $15

Rise in price required= $10

Now let calculate How high can the price of the stock go

Price of stock=$50+$10

Price of stock= $60

Therefore How high can the price of the stock go before you get a margin call if the maintenance margin is 30% of the value of the short position is $60

The result of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions was to:____
postnew [5]

Answer: d. Make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense but not consider facilitating payments a criminal offense.

Explanation:

In December 1997, signatories accounting for around 70% of World Trade adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions which stated that countries must install Legislative laws that would prohibit the bribing of foreign officials as well as strict penalties for parties who engage in such. This was done to ensure that the playing field was level so to speak instead of one company getting special treatment because they paid for it.

One concern however was that the Convention did not consider Facilitating Payments a criminal offence which means that it could be used as a bypass for the bribery of foreign officials to still happen.
