Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement is described as the grammatical rule according to which the subject, as well as, the verb must agree with one another in number. As per the rules, if the subject(noun or noun phrase) is singular, it will take a singular verb while if the subject is plural(noun or noun phrase), it will carry a plural verb.

According to this rule, the first and third sentence fails to follow this agreement. The first sentence inadequately carries a plural verb 'were' with the singular noun ('The statement') and similarly, the third sentence wrongly employs plural verb 'have' with the singular noun 'the use.' The other sentences are grammatically appropriate as the verbs and noun phrases agree in number.

Answer:

Margin of safety= $12,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Moe's Pizza Shop sells a large pizza for $12.00. Unit variable expenses total $8.00. The breakeven sales in units are 7,000 and budgeted sales in units are 8,000

To calculate the margin of safety in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= (8,000*12) - (7,000*12)= $12,000

What is an example of statistical reasoning?

zubka84 [21]

Answer/Explanation:

Statistics educators often talk about their desired learning goals for students, and invariably, refer to outcomes such as being statistically literate, thinking statistically, and using good statistical reasoning. Despite the frequent reference to these outcomes and terms, there have been no agreed upon definitions or distinctions. Therefore, the following definitions were proposed by Garfield (2005 and have been elaborated in Garfield and Ben-Zvi (2008).

Statistical literacy is regarded as a key ability expected of citizens in information-laden societies, and is often touted as an expected outcome of schooling and as a necessary component of adults’ numeracy and literacy. Statistical literacy involves understanding and using the basic language and tools of statistics: knowing what basic statistical terms mean, understanding the use of simple statistical symbols, and recognizing and being able to interpret different representations of data (Garfield 1999; Rumsey 2002; Snell 1999)

Both Bond Sam and Bond Dave have 7.3 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Sam has three

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Sam change: -5.13%

Dave change -18.01%

Explanation:

If interest rate increase by 2%

then the YTM of the bond will be 9.3%

We need eto calcualte the present value of the coupon and maturity of the bond at this new rate:

For the coupon payment we use the formula for ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment: 1,000 x 7.3% / 2 payment per year: 36.50

time 6 (3 years x 2 payment per year)

YTM seiannual: 0.0465 (9.3% annual /2 = 4.65% semiannual)

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-6} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $187.3546

For the maturity we calculate usign the lump sum formula:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity: $ 1,000.00

time: 6 payment

rate: 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{6} } = PV$

PV 761.32

Now, we add both together:

PV coupon $187.3546 + PV maturity $761.3154 = $948.6700

now we calcualte the change in percentage:

948.67/1,000 - 1 = -0.051330026 = -5.13

For Dave we do the same:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 36.50

time 40

rate 0.0465

$36.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0465)^{-40} }{0.0465} = PV\\$

PV $657.5166

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.0465

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0465)^{40} } = PV$

PV 162.34

PV c $657.5166

PV m $162.3419

Total $819.8585

Change:

819.86 / 1,000 - 1 = -0.180141521 = -18.01%
