Answer:

A. The more time the investor has, the more risk they can take because there is time to weather the declines in a stock and wait for it to regain some of its value before selling.

Explanation:

This is basically the reason why younger investors can afford higher risks than older investors. If you are 60 years old, you will probably invest in very secure stocks or bonds. Instead, when you are 25, you can afford investing in risky stocks that have higher than average growth potential.

A soft drink bottler incurred the following factory utility cost: $3,711 for 1,250 cases bottled and $3,790 for 1,800 cases bott

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$0.1436

Explanation:

Given that,

$3,711 for 1,250 cases bottled

$3,790 for 1,800 cases bottled

Factory utility cost is a mixed cost containing both fixed and variable components.

Variable cost per unit:

= Difference in costs ÷ Difference in units

= ($3,790 - $3,711) ÷ (1,800 - 1,250)

= $79 ÷ 550

= $0.1436

Therefore, the variable factory utility cost per case bottled is closest to $0.1436.

Answer:

$t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3$

Explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=5000$ represent the sample mean

$s=800$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n=16$ sample size

$\mu_o =5600$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 5600, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 5600$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 5600$

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3$
