Answer:

4.28 grams

Explanation:

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by the formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ \mu=mean,\sigma=standard \ deviation,\ x=raw\ score

Given that:

P(x > 5.1 grams) = 5%, x = 5.1 grams, σ = 0.5 grams

P(x > 5.1 grams) = 5%

P(x < 5.1 grams) = 100% - 5% = 95%

P(x < 5.1) = 95%

From the normal distribution table, 95% corresponds with a z score of 1.645. Hence:

1.64=\frac{5.1-\mu}{0.5}\\\\5.1-\mu=0.82\\\\\mu=4.28\ grams

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The increase in his tax liability is $1,120

Explanation:

STCL due to sale of stock = $8,000

LTCG due to sale of stock = $5,000

∴Net STCL = $8,000 - $5,000

 Net STCL = $3,000

LTCG on sale of antique clock = $7,000

∴Net LTCG on sale of antique = $7,000 - $3,000 = $4,000

LTCG on sale of antiques is taxed at the rate of 28%

∴ Tax liability = $4,000 * 28%

  Tax liability = $4,000 * 0.28

  Tax liability = $1,120

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the available options for the question are,

A. Cash Cr. $18, Food Revenue Dr. $18,

B. Cash Dr. $18, Food Revenue Dr. $18

C.Cash Dr. $18, Food Revenue Cr. $18

D. Cash Cr. $18, Food Revenue Cr. $18

and the correct answer is C.Cash Dr. $18, Food Revenue Cr. $18

Explanation:

the answer is simple. once they implement the accounting system, all the transaction will have at least a double entry.

when a cash sale is made for $18, this is a revenue stream for the business, while the cash balance of the business increases as well. Revenue account is an income and an increase in income is treated as increase in credit while the cash balance is an asset, and the increase of the asset is treated as a debit.

if you look at options A, B and D, all of these transactions are either mixed up or have both credits or debits which is wrong, because of this, only the answer C is correct.
