Answer:

b. other than 1

Explanation:

Nonlinear models are called that way because they are not linear in parameters. In order for this nonlinear characteristic to exist, the exponents of the parameters must be any number other than 1.

While linear models can have a nonlinear relationship between the predictors and independent variables. But when you analyze the mean (predictor), it must be linear with the parameters.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The present value of a 3-year, $150 annuity due will exceed the present value o

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Statement a. is correct.

Explanation:

The effective annual rate is always higher than the nominal interest rate, as the formula is clear for any number of periods, for any interest rate:

Effective Annual Rate of return = $(1 + \frac{i}{n})^n - 1$

Further if we calculate the present value of annuity due and ordinary annuity assuming 6 % interest rate, then:

Present value of annuity due =

$(1 + 0.06) \times 150 \times (\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1 + 0.06)^3} }{0.06} )$

= 1.06 $\times$ $400.95

= $425.0089

Present value of ordinary annuity = $150 \times (\frac{1 - \frac{1}{(1 + 0.06)^3} }{0.06} )$

= $150 $\times$ 2.6730

= $400.95

Therefore, value of annuity due is more than value of ordinary annuity.

Statement a. is correct.

Akira's uncle is about to open a car dealership. His property can accommodate a total inventory of 264 vehicles. The auto manufa

sesenic [268]

well, he has room for a total of 264 vehicles, he needs to have "five times as many cars as trucks", namely the cars : trucks ratio must be 5 to 1 or 5:1.

well, to change the total value to a ratio, we simply divide the total amount by the sum of the ratios, namely 264 ÷ (5+1), and distribute accordingly.

$\bf \cfrac{cars}{trucks}\qquad 5:1\qquad \cfrac{5}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{5\cdot \frac{264}{5+1}}{1\cdot \frac{264}{5+1}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 44}{1\cdot 44}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{cars}{220}}{\underset{trucks}{44}}$

1. What industry forces might cause a propitious niche to disappear?

kicyunya [14]

If the market contracts, due to internal or external factors, then the demand for the goods and services that the firm sells will fall and thus, a propitious niche will disappear. and, if the market expands, and the company fails to meet the increased demand, then also the propitious niche will vanish.
