The answer to this question is: <span>d. it decreases the likelihood that plots that receive a particular treatment share other characteristics that might influence seed production
It is almost impossible to find out exact nutrition composition that exist within a soil. (which will play a huge factor in seed productin). So, to make the data more reliable, it is important to randomly assign plots of land as either the control group or the group that receive special treatment and grow the seed separately.</span>
Answer:
i= 8% annual compunded
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your parents will retire in 18 years. They currently have $250,000, and they think they will need $1,000,000 at retirement.
We need to calculate the interest rate required to reach the $1 million goal in 18 years without any additional deposit.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Isolating i:
i= [(FV/PV)^(1/n)] - 1
i= [(1,00,000/250,000)^(1/18)] - 1= 0.08
i= 8% annual compunded
Answer: in a federal court, since the United States is a party to the litigation.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario in the question, in case Hickory Manufacturing elects to sue the United States in order to get back the $24700 federal tax refund which wasn't given to the company, it must be done in a federal court because the the IRS is a federal administrative agency and hence, the matter can't be pursued in the North Carolina state court.
Therefore, the correct option is A "in a federal court, since the United States is a party to the litigation".
Answer:
The three scenarios describe a competitive market.
Explanation:
1) In the competitive market buyers and sellers are price takers, this means that there are many producers and consumers and none of them are able to intervene in price and market. Price is given, ie price is determined by interaction in the market. 2) The products are identical. That is, no company will make a profit due to differentiated products. In perfect competition, companies produce identical products, and the consumer is indifferent to the product characteristics of each company. 3) There is free entry and exit of companies and factors of production, ie there is no cost to enter and exit any sector. This means that factors can migrate from one sector to another without incurring costs, meaning there are no barriers to entry and exit from any sector.
Thus, from items 1 and 2, consumers and buyers are price takers, that is, they cannot influence the price determined by the market. Item 3 is about achieving zero profit or normal long-term profit. This is because the free entry and exit of companies avoids extraordinary profits by encouraging companies to migrate to sectors that earn higher profits in the short term. Thus, in perfect competition, compa
Answer:
A). 17.13 %
Explanation:
Given that,
Annual Dividend for the first year = $.58,
Annual Dividend for the second year = $.66
Annual Dividend for the third year = $.72
Annual Dividend for the fourth year = $.75
The current price per share = $10.08
To find;
The cost of equity = ?
Procedure:
(0.66 - 0.58)/0.58 = 0.137931034
(0.72 - 0.66)/0.66 = 0. 0909090909
(0.75 - 0.72)/0.72 = 0.0416666667
g = (0.137931034 + 0. 0909090909 + 0.0416666667)/3
= 0.0901689305
= {(0.75 * 1.0901689305)/10.08} + 0.0901689305
= 0.17128269
∵ 17.13% is the cost of equity.
