Answer:

Explanation:

Number of bulbs = 20

Success of a bulb lightning properly = 0.92

Success of a bulb not lightning properly = 0.08

We have to find the probability of atmost 3 bulbs not lightning properly -

The random Variable X follows binomial distribution

= 0.929385

Mean and variance of bulbs in a string that are not lightning properly is given by

Mean of binomial distribution or E(X) = n*p = 20*0.08 = 1.6

Variance of binomial distribution or V(X) = n*p*(1-p) = 20*0.08*0.92 = 1.472

An investor recently purchased a corporate bond that yields 9%. The investor is in the 36% combined federal and state tax bracke
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The bonds after tax yield is given as Pre tax yield X (1-tax rate)

After Tax Yield = 9% X (1-0.36) = 9%X0.64=5.76%

Answer: 5.76%

Explanation:

The after-tax yield of any financial instrument such as a bond or even stock dividends is the effective yield after the applicable taxes have been paid. Higher the tax rate, lesser is the after-tax yield for the investor.

To calculate your after-tax yield, you need to know both the rate of return on your investment and the tax rate that applies to those profits. First, convert your tax rate that applies to the earnings to a decimal by dividing by 100. Second, subtract the result from 1 to calculate the portion of your earnings that you get to keep after you pay taxes on them. Third, multiply the result by the rate of return on the investment to calculate your after-tax yield.

For example, say that you want to calculate the after-tax rate of return on your certificate of deposit. If your rate of return is 3 percent and the tax rate applied to that interest is 24 percent, start by dividing 24 percent by 100 to get 0.24. Second, subtract 0.24 from 1 to get 0.76 – the portion that you get to keep after accounting for taxes. Finally, multiply 0.76 by your overall rate of return of 3 percent to find your after-tax yield is 2.28 percent.

In the Land of Milk and Honey, they produce two goods: Milk and Honey. In 2014, milk cost $2 a gallon and they produced 10 gallo
Harman [31]

Answer:

Land of Milk and Honey

The real GDP in 2014 is:

= b. $40.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                         Milk           Honey            Total GDP

Cost per gallon in 2014   $2                 $1

Quantity produced           10                 20

Total production value  $20 ($2*10)  $20 ($1*20)    $40 ($20 + $20)

Cost per gallon in 2015   $2                 $1

Quantity produced           12                 24

Total production value  $24 ($2*12)  $24 ($1*24)    $48 ($24+ $24)

Cost per gallon in 2016   $2.50              $1.25

Quantity produced           12                   24

Total production value  $30 ($2.50*12)  $30 ($1.25*24) $60 ($30 + $30)

The real GDP in 2014 is the calculated value of $40.  Using 2015 as the base year, there is no inflation since the unit prices of milk and honey remained the same in both years.
