Answer:

Inferential statistics

Descriptive statistics

inferential statistics

descriptive statistics

Descriptive statistics

Inferential statistics

Explanation:

Descriptive statistics describes data and gives us a picture of what the data summary looks like using such things as mean and central tendency measures. Inferential statistics on the other hand aims to make predictions using the data based on data analysis such as collecting sample from population and constructing hypotheses to estimate outcomes for the general population. Example in the question, the first is inferential statistics as we make generalized predictions on batteries using data samples from the population of batteries of a particular type.

Company A currently has a stock price $20/per share, with outstanding shares 2 Mil shares. It also has outstanding debt of 20 Mi
irina [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1, The cost of debt before tax is

Given that

NPER = 10%

PMT - $1,000 × 7% = $70

PV = $886

FV = $1,000

The formula is given below:

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 8.76%

2. The after tax cost of debt is

= 8.76% × (1 - 0.30)

= 6.13%

3.  The total equity is

= $20 per share × 2million shares

= $40 million

4. The cost of equity is

= Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.2 × (9% - 4%)

= 10%

5. The weight of debt is

= ($886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 ) ÷ (886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 + $40)

= 30.70%

6. The WACC is  

= Weight of debt × after tax cost of debt + weight of equity × cost of equity

= 30.70% × 6.13% + (1 - 0.3070) × 10%

= 8.81%

You and your friends have decided to build a skateboard ramp behind your house. You have already purchased $500 in materials and
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Hand saw is cheaper.

Explanation:

Given:

Material cost = $500

Electric saw cost rent per hour = $20

Building hour from electric saw = 6 hour

Building hour from hand saw = 15 hour

Time off pay from job = $8/hour

Computation of total cost from Electric saw :

Total cost from Electric saw = Material cost + Renting cost of electric saw + Time of from job

Total cost from Electric saw = $500 + (6 × $20) + (6 × $8)

Total cost from Electric saw = $500 + $120 + $48

Total cost from Electric saw = $668

Computation of total cost from hand saw :

Total cost from hand saw = Material cost + Time of from job

Total cost from hand saw = $500 + (15 × $8)

Total cost from hand saw = $500 + $120

Total cost from hand saw = $620

Hand saw is cheaper.

Victryl Company applies overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, Victryl estimates overhead to be $70
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The answer is: The overhead variance was $1,700 and it was overapplied

Explanation:

Victryl's estimated overhead cost per labor hour was:

$700,000 / 35,000 = $20 per labor hour

If during February, Victryl had 5,000 direct labor hours, then its estimated cost should have been: $20 x 5,000 = $100,000 estimated overhead cost

The actual overhead cost was $98,300, which is $1,700 less than the estimated cost.

Bed & Bath, a retailing company, has two departments—Hardware and Linens. The company’s most recent monthly contribution for
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The financial advantage of discontinuing the Linens Department is $359,980

Explanation:

If Linens Department is discontinued, there is only Hardware Department left. The new sales, costs and operating income will be:

Sales = 3,180,000 x (1 -18%) = $2,607,600 ( 18% drop in sales of Hardware given Linens discontinuity)

Variable cost = 2,607,600 x ( 841,000 / 3,180,000) = $689,620.

Fixed cost = Fixed cost originally allocated to Hardware + Fixed cost further allocated to Hardware due to Linen's discontinuity = 1,420,000 + 379,000 = $1,799,000.

Operating income = 2,607,600 - 689,620 - 1,799,000 = $118,980.

=> Difference between discontinuity of Linen Department and continuity of Linen Department = 118,980 - (-241,000) = $359,980.
