To determine the standard deviation of the number of people who suffer from insomnia, you need to use the following formula:
= sqr of npq

= √10,200 people in the community x 0.6 people who suffer from insomnia x 0.91 = ?
= √10,200 x 0.6 x 0.91 = <span>√55.143 = 7.43 

= 7.43</span>

Leesburg sold a machine for $2,200 on november 10th of the current year. the machine was purchased for $2,600. leesburg had take
taurus [48]
The original price of the machine is $2,600 but it has a depreciation value now of $1,200.

*original price - depreciation value = machine's existing value*
$2,600 - $1,200 = $1,400

However, they've sold the machine for $2,200 instead of 1,400 (which is supposedly the existing price). So, they've gain $800 ($2,200 deducted by $1,400) out from this transaction.

For each of the following scenarios, please decide whether there will be an increase or decrease in short-run aggregate supply,
algol13

Answer:

1.short run aggregate supply decreases

2.short run aggregate supply decreases

3.short run aggregate supply increases

Explanation:

The short run aggregate supply is the total production of goods and services in an economy holding some factors of production fixed.

1. Even in a healthy economy. As the natural rate of unemployment increases, short run aggregate supply decreases.

2. A rise in the price of lumber (inflation) would cause a decrease in short run aggregate supply.

3. An increase in productivity caused by the acquisition of capital equipment would cause the short run aggregate supply to increase.

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that hi
tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:

Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?

A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.

B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.

D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:

MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)

Where:

MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100

MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110

Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2

Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3

Subtitling the relevant values, we have:

MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50

MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67

This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67

The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.

Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).

Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.

Jessep Corporation has a standard cost system in which manufacturingoverhead is applied to units of product on the basis of dire
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Standard fixed overhead rate

= Budgeted fixed overhead cost

  Budgeted direct labour hours

= $45,000

  15,000 hours

= $3 per direct labour hour

Fixed overhead volume variance

= (Standard hours - Budgeted hours) x Standard fixed overhead rate

= (12,000 hours - 15,000  hours)  x $3

= $9,000(U)

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate standard fixed overhead rate, which is budgeted fixed overhead cost  divided by budgeted direct labour hours. Then, we will calculate fixed overhead volume variance, which is the difference between standard hours and budgeted hours multiplied by standard fixed overhead rate.
