Answer:

Explanation:

Here we have sampling with replacement. There are 4 x 4 = 16 out comes each with equal probability 1/16 .

The sample space being {1,2,3,4} {1,2,3,4} .

The random variable X representing the sum of the numbers on the balls has values from 2 to 8.

The other detailed steps and appropriate analysis is shown in the attached file.

None of the projects should be accepted because they have negative NPV

Explanation:

The question requires the computation of NPV using 0% and 9%.

The cashflows of the two projects will be discounted at 0% and 9%.

The discount factors for each project can be calculated using the formula (1+r)-n. The cashflows of the projects will be multiplied by the discount factors to obtain the present values. NPV is the difference between present values of cash inflows and initial outlay.

Suppose that the market demand curve for bean sprouts is given by P = 1,660 - 4Q, where P is the price and Q is total industry o
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

In equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option e= 300.  

Q = q_{1} + q_{2}

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Explanation:

Data Given:

Market Demand Curve = P = 1660-4Q

where, P = price and Q = total industry output

Each firm's marginal cost = $60 per unit of output

So, we know that Q =  q_{1} + q_{2}

where q_{} being the individual firm output.

Solution:

P = 1660-4Q

P = 1660- 4(q_{1} + q_{2})

P = 1660 - 4q_{1} - 4q_{2}

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by q_{1}

Let's suppose new equation is X

X =  1660q_{1} - 4q_{1} ^{2} - 4q_{1}q_{2} - 60q_{1}

Taking the derivative w.r.t to q_{1}, we will get:

X^{'} = 1660 - 8q_{1} - 4q_{2} - 60 = 0

Making rearrangements into the equation:

8q_{1} + q_{2} = 1660 - 60

8q_{1} + q_{2} = 1600

Dividing the whole equation by 4

2q_{1} +q_{2} = 400

Solving for q_{1}

2q_{1} = 400 - q_{2}

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 q_{2}  

Including the marginal cost of firm 1 and multiplying the whole equation by q_{2}

P = 1660 - 4q_{1} - 4q_{2}

Let's suppose new equation is Y

Y =  1660q_{2} - 4q_{1}q_{2} -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Pugging in the value of q_{1}

Y =  1660q_{2} - 4q_{2}(200 - 0.5 q_{2}) -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Y =  1660q_{2} - 800q_{2} +2q_{2} ^{2} -4q_{2} ^{2} - 60q_{2}

Y =  1600q_{2} - 800q_{2} -2q_{2} ^{2}

Taking the derivative w.r.t q_{2}

Y^{'} = 1600 - 800 - 4q_{2} = 0

Solving for q_{2}

4q_{2} = 800

q_{2} = 200

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 q_{2}

Plugging in the value of q_{2} to get the value of q_{1}

q_{1} = 200 - 0.5 (200)

q_{1} = 200 - 100

q_{1} = 100

Q = q_{1} + q_{2}

Q = 100 + 200

Q = 300

Hence, in equilibrium, total output by the two firms will be option

e= 300.

Chip used the local yellow pages to compile a random sample of 100 small businesses to take part in his experiment about hiring
mel-nik [20]

From the given description, Chip is using an experimental design called (A) matching.

Matching <u>is a type of experimental design where the researcher divide his or her samples into two groups of treatment conditions, which serves to ensure that before the treatment, both groups have the samples with the same characteristics, thus ensuring that the results of the experiment would not be influenced by any confounding variables that the samples have.</u>

Chip is doing this to ensure that samples that have been influenced by other variables which determine their decision to hire are distributed evenly in both the experimental and control group.

Suppose there are two states that do not trade: Iowa and Nebraska. Each state produces the same two goods: corn and wheat. For I
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Lowa should produce corn; Nebraska should produce Wheat

Explanation:

Two states: Iowa and Nebraska

Same two goods are produced by both of them: Corn and wheat

For lowa,

Opportunity cost of producing wheat = 3 bushels of corn

Opportunity cost of producing corn = (1 ÷ 3) bushels of wheat

For Nebraska,

Opportunity cost of producing wheat = (1 ÷ 3) bushels of corn

Opportunity cost of producing corn = 3 bushels of wheat

According to the concept of comparative advantage, a country is exporting the commodity in which it has a comparative advantage and a country has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity is lower than the other country.

In our case, lowa should producing and exporting corn because the opportunity cost of producing corn is lower than the Nebraska and on the other hand, Nebraska should producing and exporting wheat because the opportunity cost of producing wheat is lower than the lowa.
