Answer:

A. $53,167

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($328,000 - $9,000) ÷ (6 years)

= ($319,000) ÷ (6 years)  

= $53,167

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life.

The estimated useful life in units is used in units of production method. Hence, it is ignored here.

Vika [28.1K]

The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16.

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}

Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}

Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879

An investor is considering two investment, an office building and bonds. He can only invest on of them. The possible return from
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

1) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in office building.

expected return:

$50,000 x 0.3 = $15,000

$60,000 x 0.2 = $12,000

$80,000 x 0.1 = $8,000

$10,000 x 0.3 = $3,000

<u>$0 x 0.1 = $0                      </u>

expected return = $38,000

$50,000 - $38,000 = -$12,000² = $144,000,000

$60,000 - $38,000 = -$22,000² = $484,000,000

$80,000 - $38,000 = -$42,000² = $1,764,000,000

$10,000 - $38,000 = -$28,000² = $784,000,000

<u>$0 - $38,000 = -$38,000² = $1,444,000,000         </u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.3 x $144,000,000) + (0.2 x $484,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,764,000,000) + (0.3 x $784,000,000) + (0.1 x $1,444,000,000) = $43,200,000 + $96,200,000 + $176,400,000 + $235,200,000 + $144,400,000 = $695,400,000

standard deviation = √$895,800,000 = $26,370

2) Calculate the expected return and variance of investing in bonds.

expected return:

$30,000 x 0.4 = $12,000

<u>$40,000 x 0.6 = $24,000   </u>

expected return = $36,000

$30,000 - $36,000 = -$6,000² = $36,000,000

<u>$40,000 - $36,000 = $4,000² = $16,000,000</u>

<u />

expected variance: (0.4 x $36,000,000) + (0.6 x $16,000,000) = $14,400,000 + $9,600,000 = $24,000,000

standard deviation = √$24,000,000 = $4,899

3) Based on the expected return we should choose investing in a building, but if we consider the variance and the standard deviation of the investments, I would choose investing in bonds. The difference in expected returns is not that large (only $2,000) but the variance and standard deviations of investing in the office buildings is quite large, meaning that the risk is very high.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?a. One defect of the IRR method versus the NPV is that the IRR does not take accoun
KIM [24]

Answer:

d. One defect of the IRR method versus the NPV is that the IRR does not take proper account of differences in the sizes of projects.

CORRECT As the project yields over time can differ. This generates that projects with a lower IRR can achieve a higher NPV at lower rates.

There is a crossover point after which a projects NPV are equal and from there the one with higher IRR obtains better NPV

Explanation:

a. One defect of the IRR method versus the NPV is that the IRR does not take account of the time value of money.

FALSE both method consider time value of money

b. One defect of the IRR method versus the NPV is that the IRR does not take account of the cost of capital

FALSE The IRR can be compared against the cost of capital to indicate wether or not a project should be preferable

.c. One defect of the IRR method versus the NPV is that the IRR values a dollar received today the same as a dollar that will not be received until sometime in the future.

FALSE IRR considers the time value of money

e. One defect of the IRR method versus the NPV is that the IRR does not take account of cash flows over a project's full life.

FALSE it considers all the cash flows over the project's full life.

In a simple, closed economy (no government or foreign sector), disposable income increases from $2,000 to $3,000. If consumption
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The marginal propensity to save is 0.4

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to save is 1 - marginal propensity to consume.

The marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an increase in income that the consumers will spend from this increased income and the marginal propensity to save is the proportion of the increase in income that will be saved.

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = Change in consumption / change in income

The MPC = (2100 - 1500) / (3000 - 2000)  =  0.6

Thus, the marginal propensity to save is 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
