Answer: a) the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans; whether the bats became sick with WNS
Explanation: The independent variable refers to the variables employed by the experimenter to use as a tool to observe changes in the dependent variable. In an experimental study, the independent variables are usually the different controls adopted for the experiment. In the scenario above, the independent variable is the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans which each of the groups are exposed to. These variation in control in which the different groups are exposed to may result in different response within the group which is the change in WNS. These response due to exposure to different control is called the dependent variable.
Answer:
The correct option is D) The design of the study suffers from selection bias.
Explanation:
In research, Selection Bias occurs when the researcher decides who the respondents are or those who are being evaluated or studied.
Every research ought to be designed in such a way that the respondents are selected at random.
In the information provided, the respondents were selected from a group of people who on a balance of probability were already inclined to decline because it was a list of dissatisfied customers. The chances of them declining to respond or responding with a negative were higher than the chances of them indicating that they would buy and this defeats the purpose of the research. The research ought to have also included a sample of respondents who didn't have the product, who had enjoyed the services of the company and were content, those who didn't even know what the product did until they got the survey.
That way holistic information can be obtained from the research about how different sets of people will react and not just those who are already dissatisfied with the company's product(s).
Some of the ways to avoid selection bias in research are:
- To employ the use of random techniques selecting sample sets from populations.
- To check that the traits or characteristics of the larger population are well represented in the samples selected

Answer:
8.30%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital of the company is computed using the WACC formula below:
WACC=(We*Ke)+(Wp*Kp)+(Wd*kd)
We=weight of common equity=50%
Ke=cost of retained earnings which is a proxy for the cost of equity=11.50%
Wp=weight of preferred stock=20%
Kp=cost of preferred stock=6.00%
Wd=weight of debt=30%
Kd=after-tax cost of debt=4.50%
WACC=(50%*11.50%)+(20%*6.00%)+(30%*4.50%)
WACC=8.30%
