A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean amount spent (S) on Amazon.com by Amazon Prime member shoppers. Suppose a random sample of 100 Amazon Prime member shoppers who recently made a purchase on Amazon.com yielded a mean of $1,500.
a. Suppose the standard deviation of the amount spent ($) on Amazon.com is $200. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean spending for all Amazon Prime member shoppers.
b. Suppose the standard deviation of the sample of 100 Amazon Prime member shoppers is $200. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean spending for all Amazon Prime member shoppers.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a)

Given that mean (μ) = $1500, standard deviation (σ) = $200, sample size (n) = 100

confidence (C) = 95% = 0.95

α = 1 -  C = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

The z score that corresponds with 0.475 (0.5 - 0.025) is 1.96. Therefore the margin of error (E) is:

[tex]E = z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=1.96*\frac{200}{\sqrt{100} } =39.2\\[/tex]

The confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (1500 ± 39.2) = (1500 - 39.2, 1500 + 39.2) = (1460.8, 1539.2)

The confidence interval is between $1460.8 and $1539.2.

b) Given that mean (μ) = $1500, standard deviation for 100 samples =  σ /√n = $200,

confidence (C) = 95% = 0.95

[tex]E = z_\frac{\alpha}{2} *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=1.96*200=392\\[/tex]

The confidence interval = (μ ± E) = (1500 ± 392) = (1500 - 392, 1500 + 392) = (1108, 1892)

The confidence interval is between $1108 and $1892.

The bonds pay interest annually on May 31 of each year. The bonds are to be accounted for under the effective-interest method.

Required:
Construct a bond amortization table for this problem to indicate the amount of interest expense and discount amortization at each May 31.

Answers

Answer:

For second period

Cash interest = $3,720,000 * 8% = $297,600

Interest expenses = 3,262,800 * 10% = $326,280

Discount = $326,280 - $297,600 = $28,680

For third period

Cash interest = $3,720,000 * 8% = $297,600

Interest expenses = $3,291,480 * 10% = $329,148

Discount = $329,148 - $297,600 = $31,548

Answers

Answer:

A. Income statement $8.4 million

B. Balance sheet million $35.4 million

C. Operating cash flow million $1 million

Investing cash flow million=$28 million

Explanation:

a. Calculation for Income statement million

Using this formula

Income statement=Investment revenue -Patent amortization adjustment

Let plug in the formula

Income statement= ($54 million × 1/6)-([$36 million] × 1/6]÷10 years)

Income statement=$ 9.0-$0.6

Income statement=$8.4 million

Therefore Income statement million will be $8.4 million

b. Preparation of the Balance sheet million

Cost $28 million

Add Investment revenue $9.0 million

($54 million × 1/6)

Less Dividend ($1 million)

($6 million × 1/6)

Less Patent amortization adjustment ($0.6 million)

([$36 million] × 1/6]÷10 years)

Balance sheet million $35.4 million

($28 million+$9.0 million-$1 million-$0.6 million)

Therefore Balance sheet million will be $35.4 million

c. Preparation of the Statement of cash flows

Operating cash flow million=($6 million × 1/6)

Operating cash flow million= $1 million

Investing cash flow million=$28 million

Therefore Operating cash flow million will be $1 million while the Investing cash flow million will be $28 million.

The terms are that the student repay his aunt in full at the end of eight years with simple interest computed at the rate of 4 percent per year. Determine the interest that must be paid on the eight-year loan. Don't forget to include units

Answers

Answer:

$9,600

Explanation:

Loan received (Principal) = $30,000

SI Rate = 4%

Time Period = 8 years

Simple Interest = ?

SI = PRT / 100

SI = $30,000 * 4/100 * 8

SI = $9,600

So, the student must pay $9,600 as interest on the eight-year loan

The interest that must be paid on the eight-year loan is $9,600

Given the information below:

Loan received (Principal) = $30,000

SI Rate = 4%

Time Period = 8 years

Simple Interest = ?

We know that simple interest(SI) is computed as :

SI = Principal * Rate * Time / 100

SI = PRT / 100

SI = $30,000 * 4 / 100 * 8

SI = $9,600

Hence, the student must pay $9,600 as interest on the eight-year loan.

Ultra Fine Furnishings is in the process of selling its peripheral businesses and focusing on its upscale clients. In conjunction with this reorganization, the dividend will be decreased by 10 percent for the next 3 years. After that, the dividend will resume increasing at an annual rate of 5 percent. The required return on this stock is 14 percent and the last dividend paid was $2.40 a share. What is one share of this stock worth today?

Answers

Answer:

$18.35

Explanation:

P0 = D1/(1+r)^1 + D2/(1+r)^2 + D3/(1+r)^3 + P3/(1+r)^3

D1 = $2.40 * 0.90 = $2.16

D2 = $2.16 * 0.90 = $1.944

D3 = $1.944 * 0.90 = $1.7496

P3 = D3*(1+g)/(r-g) = $1.7496*(1+0.05)/(0.14-0.05) = $20.412

P0 = D1/(1+r)^1 + D2/(1+r)^2 + D3/(1+r)^3 + P3/(1+r)^3

P0 = [$2.16/(1+0.14) + $1.944(1+0.14)^2 + $1.7496/(1+0.14)^3 + $20.412/(1+0.14)^3]

P0 = $18.35

Therefore, the worth of the stock today is $18.35.

Charging prices higher than marginal cost, meaning that consumers pay a higher price than they would otherwise in a perfectly competitive market.

Producing a smaller amount of output that in a perfectly competitive market.

The difference is in the degree of the inefficiency: monopolies are more market inefficient, and cause more harm to consumers, while monopolistic competition is a less inefficient market structure, and only causes marginal harm to consumers when compared to the hypothetical results of a perfectly competitive market structure.

The form of market inefficiency that can be derived from monopolies is higher prices.

It should be noted that in a monopoly and a monopolistic firm, consumers pay a higher price for the goods that they purchase. Monopolies cause more harm to the consumers.

Monopolies charge a price that's above the marginal cost. Monopolies and monopolistic competitive firms are profitable since they have the market power to produce few products and charge a higher price.

Global Tek is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 16 percent a year for the next four years and then the growth slows down to a rate of 3.5 percent per year indefinitely. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share. What is the current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 15.5%?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the stock is $2.558

Explanation:

We need to calculate the present value of future cash flows to calculate the Stock value

First Calculate each year's Dividend

Use the following formula to calculate the expected dividend

Expected Dividend = Current Dividend x ( 1 + Growth rate )^n

Year ______ Working _________ Dividend

1 ______ $0.20 x ( 1 + 16% )^1 ____ $0.232

2______ $0.20 x ( 1 + 16% )^2 ____ $0.269

3______ $0.20 x ( 1 + 16% )^3 ____ $0.312

4______ $0.20 x ( 1 + 16% )^4 ____ $0.362

5______$0.362 x ( 1 + 3.5% ) _____$0.375

Now calculate the present value of each year's dividend using following formula

PV = Dividend / ( 1 + required rate of return )^numbers of years

Year _____ Working ______________________ PRESENT VALUES

1 ______ $0.232 / ( 1 + 15.5% )^1 _____________ $0.201

2______ $0.269 / ( 1 + 15.5% )^2 _____________$0.202

3______ $0.312 / ( 1 + 15.5% )^3 _____________ $0.203

4______ $0.362 / ( 1 + 15.5% )^4 _____________$0.203

5______$0.375 / (15.5% - 3.5% ) ) / ( 1 + 15.5% ) __$1.749

Now calculate the sum of present value of all the dividends

Value of stock = $0.201 + $0.202 + $0.203 + $0.203 + $1.755

Value of stock = $2.558

The standard deviation of monthly changes in the spot price of live cattle is (in cents per pound) 1.2. The standard deviation of monthly changes in the futures price of live cattle for the closest contract is 1.4. The correlation between the futures price changes and the spot price changes is 0.7. It is now October 15. A beef producer is committed to purchasing 200,000 pounds of live cattle on November 15. The producer wants to use the December live cattle futures contracts to hedge its risk. Each contract is for the delivery of 40,000 pounds of cattle. What strategy should the beef producer follow?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The optimal hedge ratio shows the degree of correlation between an asset or liability and the final product.

The optimal hedge ratio = correlation * (standard deviation of monthly changes in the spot price) /  (standard deviation of monthly changes in the futures price)

The optimal hedge ratio = 0.7 * (1.2/1.4) = 0.6

The beef producer requires a long position = 0.6 * 200000 lbs  = 120000 lbs of cattle.

The beef producer should take a long position in 3 December contracts closing out the position on November 15.

(FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 1. Assuming an interest rate of 6%, determine the present value for the above options. Which option should Alex choose? 2. The Weimer Corporation wants to accumulate a sum of money to repay certain debts due on December 31, 2030. Weimer will make annual deposits of $100,000 into a special bank account at the end of each of 10 years beginning December 31, 2021. Assuming that the bank account pays 7% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2030?

Answers

Answer:

Option 1$1,381,645

Explanation:

1. Alex needs to pick the option that offers the highest present value.

Option 1 present value = $64,000

Option 2:

Mix of lump-sum and annuity:

Present value of annuity = Annity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 6%, 6 periods

= 8,000 * 4.9173

= $‭39,338.4‬0

Present value of option B = 20,000 + ‭39,338.4‬0

= $59,338.40

Option 3:

Present value of annuity = Annity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 6%, 6 periods

= 13,000 * 4.9173

= $‭63,924.9‬0

Alex should choose option 1 as it has the largest present value.

2.As this concerns a future amount, the future value of an annuity is used.

Future value of Annuity = Annuity * (( 1 + rate)^n - 1 )/ r

= 100,000 * ((1 + 7%)¹⁰ - 1) / 7%

= 100,000 * 13.8164479612795

= $1,381,644.79

= $1,381,645

Explanation:

First the companies will survey customers to gauge their interest and demand for the product in question as well as the price they might consider buying it at. They will then take this data and add up the different responses from various people at each price point.

This will then scale up the quantities demanded so as to include the entire market by using the survey as a sample. After this they will plot a demand curve.

Last year Kruse Corp had $410,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE? Do not round your intermediate calculations. Question 2 options: 7.05% 6.69% 6.41% 7.26% 7.82%

Answers

Answer:

a. 7.05%

Explanation:

ROE before reduction in assets:

Total assets = $410,000

Debt to total capital ratio = 39%

Equity to total capital ratio = 1 - 39% = 61%

Equity = 410000 * 61% = $250,100

Net Income = $28,250

ROE = Net Income / Equity = 28250 / 250100 = 11.2955%

After reduction in assets:

Total assets = $252,500

Net Income is not affected and is same at = $28,250

Capital structure is same.

New Equity = 252500 * 61% = $154,025

New ROE = 28250 / 154025 = 18.3412%

Improvement in ROE = 18.3412% - 11.2955%

Improvement in ROE = 7.05%

Damon Industries manufactures 20,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follows:

Direct materials $100,000
Direct labor 160,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 60,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 80,000

An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $17. If Damon purchases the component from the outside supplier, the manufacturing facilities would be unused and could be rented out for $10,000. If Damon purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be:

a. a $30,000 increase.
b. a $50,000 decrease.
c. a $70,000 increase.
d. a $10,000 decrease.

Answers

Answer:

d. a $10,000 decrease.

Explanation:

The computation of the impact on the income is given below:

In case of making the product

= Direct material + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead  + rented

= $100,000 + $160,000 + $60,000 + $10,000

= $330,000

And, in case of buying the product

= 20,000 × $17

= $340,000

So there is a decrease of $10,000

What is an elevator pitch?

An elevator pitch, elevator speech, or elevator statement is a short description of an idea, product, or company that explains the concept in a way such that any listener can understand it in a short period.

This description typically explains who the thing is for, what it does, why it is needed, and how it will get done. When explaining a person, the description generally explains one's skills and goals, and why they would be a productive and beneficial person to have on a team or within a company or project.

An elevator pitch does not have to include all of these components, but it usually does at least explain what the idea, product, company, or person is and their value.

Calculate the ratio of k to j .

Answers

Answer:

1.25

Explanation:

1000*(1+x)^8 = 2203.76

(1+x)^8 = 2203.76/1000

(1+x)^8 = 2.20376

Taking root of both side

(1+x)^8^(1/8) = 2.20376^(1/8)

1 + x = 1.10381308235

x = 1.10381308235 - 1

x = 0.10381308235

x = 10.38%..............(Equ 1)

1000*((1+y)^5)*((1+x)^3) = 1990.76

1000*((1+y)^5)*1.344889 = 1990.76

((1+y)^5) = 1.48024

Taking root of both side

((1+y)^5)^(1/5) = 1.48024^(1/5)

1+y = 1.08159937381

y = 1.08159937381 - 1

y = 0.08159937381

y = 18.15995%...........(Equ ii)

J = (((1+y)^1/2)-1)*2

J = (((1+0.08159937381)^1/2) - 1)*2

J = (1.039999698947072 - 1)*2

J = .039999698947072 * 2

J = 0.079999397894144

J = 7.9999%

J = 8%

K = (((1+x)^1/4)-1)*4

K = (((1+0.10381308235 )^1/4)-1)*4

K = 10%

So K/J = 10/8 = 1.25

Answers

Answer:

E. They are simpler when it comes to paperwork, offer some of the same tax advantages and also protect members from unlimited financial exposure

Explanation:

Limited liability companies are set up to protect the owners from liability. The business is a seperate entity from the individual owners and their assets are not used to settle debts of the business.

This type of business is gaining more use than S corporation. S corporation in addition to having liability advantages also requires more rigid requirements to set up. They do not pay corporate tax, but rather are taxed as sole proprietorship or a partnership.

Because of the ease of setting up an LLC more people prefer it to an S corporation. It also protects owners from unlimited financial liability
