Answer: Matched pairs design
Explanation:
A matched pairs design is a type of study used when 2 treaments are present in an experiment. The individuals in the design can be divided into pairs using a blocking variable, and each pair can then be allocated to treatments at random. This is thus a special type of randomized block design.
In this case the blocking variable can be the various urban areas as 1968 is matched against 1972. Each city can be compared based on 2 measurements. From their each individual can be grouped into pairs and allocated to different treatments.
Answer:
D. If Hazel sells the chocolate fountain for $3,300, she will have a $1,500 capital gain.
Explanation:
I´m assuming that Hazel is a person that owns this event planning company.
The current book value of the chocolate fountain = purchase cost - accumulated depreciation = $3,000 - $1,200 = $1,800
If the chocolate fountain (or any asset) is sold at a higher price than book value, then a capital gain must be recognized. If the chocolate fountain is sold at a lower price than book value, then a capital loss should be recognized.
$3,300 (selling price) - $1,800 (book value) = $1,500 capital gain
Answer:
1. If a firm increases its dividend payout rate the: firm will have less cash available for new investment. True
2. Stock price will likely fall by the same percentage. False
3. Retention ratio will rise at the same rate. False
Explanation:
1. If a firm increases its dividend payout rate the: firm will have less cash available for new investment. This assertion is true because the company would be paying out a larger portion of earnings as dividends, hence the balance portion for new investment will be lower as a result.
2. Stock price will likely fall by the same percentage. This assertion is most unlikely because normally, if a particular stock is paying higher dividends investors will have high expectation and be willing to pay a higher price to buy a stock that pays high dividends
3. Retention ratio will rise at the same rate. This conclusion is also incorrect because pay out ratio and retention ratio have an inverse relationship. If more dividend is paid out, then less money is retained.
Answer: vertical analysis
Explanation:
Vertical analysis is when each item on a financial statement is compared with a total amount from the same statement.
Vertical analysis refers to a financial statement analysis method whereby each line item in a statement is listed as a percentage of the base figure. In such case, each amount in the income statement will then be restated as a percentage of sales.
