Answer:
the answer is b. increased
Answer:
11.61%
Explanation:
First, find the annual percentage return (APR) of this annuity. Using a financial calculator, input the following;
Recurring payment; PMT = -450
Future value ; FV = 27,000
Duration of investment ; N = 4*12 = 48 months
One -time present value; PV = 0
then compute interest rate; CPT I /Y= 0.92% (this is monthly rate)
APR = 0.92*12 = 11.035%
Effective Annual Rate (EAR) formula is as follows;
EAR = (1+
) ^m -1
EAR = 1+
)^12 -1
EAR = 1.1161 -1
EAR = 0.1161 or 11.61%
Answer: Third
Explanation:
Diminishing returns to labor refers to the phenomenon where every additional worker leads to an increase in production at a decreasing rate.
Using the scenario described, when there was only one employee the company could mow 4 lawns a day. They added a 2nd worker and that figure went to 9 lawns a day which is an increase of FIVE.
When they added a 3rd worker, the figure again went up but only to 12 which is an increase of THREE only as opposed to the last increase of FIVE.
After the third worker therefore, there was an increase but at a smaller rate.
The expected value for the number of cars with defects can
be obtained by multiplying the probability of success (i.e. the percentage of
products with defects - 40%) by the number of cases (i.e. the number of cars
purchased – 5).
40 / 100 X 5 = 2
Therefore, the expected value for the number of cars with
defects will be the percentage of products with defects is 2
