Answer:
Cherry Jalopies, Inc.:
mean = (0.22 + 0.11 - 0.04 + 0.06 + 0.09) / 5 = 0.52 / 5 = 0.104
variance = [(0.22 - 0.104)² + (0.11 - 0.104)² + (-0.04 - 0.104)² + (0.06 - 0.104)² + (0.09 - 0.104)²] / 5 = (0.013456 + 0.000036 + 0.020736 + 0.001936 + 0.000196) / 5 = 0.007272
standard deviation = √0.007272 = 0.085276 = 8.53%
Straw Construction Company:
mean = (0.16 + 0.23 - 0.01 + 0.01 + 0.17) / 5 = 0.56 / 5 = 0.112
variance = [(0.16 - 0.112)² + (0.23 - 0.112)² + (-0.01 - 0.112)² + (0.01 - 0.112)² + (0.17 - 0.112)²] / 5 = (0.002304 + 0.013924 + 0.014884 + 0.010404 + 0.003364) / 5 = 0.008976
standard deviation = √0.008976 = 0.09474 = 9.47%
Answer:
$108
Explanation:
The computation of the taxable income is shown below:
= Pre accounting income + Overweight fines (not deductible for tax purposes) + depreciation expenses - depreciation in the tax return using MACRS
= $150 + $5 + $65 - $112
= $108
We simply added the overweight fines, and depreication expenses and deduct the deprecation in the tax return to the pre accounting income so that the taxable income could arrive
Plus we ignored the applicable tax rate i.e 25%
Answer:
The economic downturn is a factor beyond her control.
Explanation:
In the given scenario Selena's monthly sales have declined and she received a bad performance rating.
The decline was due partly to an economic recession and also due to the fact that her mother has been in the hospital (personal reasons).
If the wants to contest the ratings she will not use the personal challenge she had since she did not report it to take time off from work.
However she can state that the economic downturn is a factor beyond her control so this should be considered in her performance rating.
