Answer:
When a company sells different securities together (this usually happens during mergers and acquisitions):
- and the price of all the securities is not certain, the incremental method will first allocate proceeds to the sale of securities whose price is actually certain. The remaining proceeds will be allocated to the securities whose price is uncertain. E.g. total sales $10 million, stocks worth $5 million were sold and bonds worth ? million were sold. The company will allocate $5 million to stocks and $5 million to bonds.
- and the price of all the securities is certain, the proportional method allocates the sales proceeds proportionally among the different securities sold. E.g. total sales $10 million, stocks worth $5 million were sold and bonds worth $3 million were sold. The company will allocate ($5/$8) x $10 million = $6.25 million to stocks and $3.75 to bonds.

Answer:
a) ME= 1.93
b) confidence interval= (19.59,23.45)
Explanation:
a) Sample of customers is 64, population standard deviation is 6 and confidence level is 99%
Sample mean= 21.52
Sample size= 64
Confidence level= 99%
Population standard deviation= 6
Standard error of the mean= 0.75
Z-value= -2.5758 (From Z table)
Interval half width= 1.9319
Margin of error at 99% confidence interval is 1.93 from the output.
b) Confidence interval
Interval upper limit= 19.59
Interval lower limit= 23.45
99% confidence interval is (19.59, 23.45) from the output.
ME= 
= 1.93
