Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

A.)

From the histogram, the number of runners who made a certain range of Runtime can be easily deduced on the y-axis of the histogram, which isn't possible on the boxplot.

Summary statistic such as lower quartile, median and upper quartile statistics including outliers can be deduced easily from the boxplot.

B.)

Bimodal distribution occurs when two different groups or class have the highest number of values in a distribution.

C.)

The distribution of marathon times for men is fairly normally distributed while that if women is skewed.

The minimum and maximum values in the women's distribution is greater than the minimum and maximum values in the men's distribution.

The women's distribution has greater variance than the men's distribution. (greater range value).

For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Number of Firms - many

Type of Product - differentiated

Market Model - monopolistic competition

Number of Firms - many  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - perfect competition

Number of Firms - few  

Type of Product - standardised  

Market Model - oligopoly

Number of Firms - one

Type of Product - unique

Market Model - monopoly

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.   In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants  

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

  • price setting firms  
  • profit maximisation
  • high barriers to entry or exit of firms
  • downward sloping demand curve

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

<u>Physical flow schedule</u>

Inputs

Beginning Work in Process                86,300

Add Units Started                              105,900

Total                                                    192,200

Outputs

Units Completed and Transferred   172,900

Units in Ending Work in Process       19,300

Total                                                    192,200

Explanation:

A physical flow schedule is simply a schedule of units introduced into the process and units outputs without expressing them to equivalent units.

Units Introduced must always be equal to units outputs in physicals terms.

<em>Units Completed and Transferred = Beginning Inventory + Units Started - Units in Ending Work in Process</em>

                                                        = 86,300 + 105,900 - 19,300

                                                        = 172,900

A newspaper story on the effect of higher milk prices on the market for ice cream contained the following: "As a result [of the
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for icecream is -0.75, that means that is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the porcentage of the change in the demand when there is a change in the price. If the change in porcentage of the demand is less than the pocentage of change in the price we talk about inelastic demand. An increase in the price of inelastic goods will result in bigger revenues, as the porcentage in the drop of sales is less than the porcentage   of increase in the price.

The formula is: % in change demand/% in change of price

-3%/4= -0.75

The minus symbol indicates that when the price rises the demand decrease.

                                        NPV         184,438

The correct answer is D. The difference in answers is due to rounding error.

Explanation:

Net present value is the diffrence between initial outlay and present value of inflow. We need to discount the cash inflows for year 1 to year 4 at 8% and then calculate the present value of cash inflows by multiplying the cash inflows by the discount factors. Finally, we will calculate NPV by deducting the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflows.
