Answer:

1.74%

Explanation:

Mean number of hours (μ) = 2,220 hours

Standard deviation (σ) = 285 hours

Assuming a normal distribution, the z-score for any number of hours a network stays up, X, is given by:

$z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

For X = 2,800 hours, the z-score is:

$z=\frac{2,800-2,200}{285}\\z=2.11$

A z-score of 2.11 corresponds to the 98.26th percentile of a normal distribution. The probability that the network will stay up for 2,800 hours before it fails is:

$P(X>2,800) = 100\%-98.26\% = 1.74\%$

The probability is 1.74%.

Flow Company has provided the following information for the year ended December 31, 2019:

meriva

Answer: A) A net outflow of $2,000.

Explanation:

Investing Activities in the Cashflow statement refers to those transactions that have to do with capital Expenditure in the company such as the purchase or sale of Fixed Assets such as Property, Land or Equipment.

Investment cashflow also concerns transactions involving the stocks or bonds of other companies.

It is worthy of note that transactions are only recorded in the Investing Cashflow section if there is an immediate exchange of CASH.

In the books of Flow Company for the year the transactions that can be considered as Investing Activities are,

Cash paid for equipment purchase, $27,000

Cash received from sale of land with a $32,000 book value, $25,000

The acquisition of land in exchange for Preferred Stock does not fall under here as there was no immediate exchange of cash.

The Net Cash flow from Investing is therefore

= -27,000 (cash Outflow) + 25,000 (cash inflow from selling land)

= -$2,000

This means that there was a net cash Outflow of -$2,000 so Option A is correct.

You have determined that an OCF of $151,406 will result in a zero net present value for a project, which is the minimum requirem

oee [108]

Answer:

It should be accepted as the cash flow is greater than minimum

Explanation:

We should determinate if he project can generate a cashflow of 151,406 after taxes to be accepted:

market x market share = sales in units

140,000 units x 8.5% = 11,900 units

sales x contribution less fixed cost = income before taxes

11,900 x 56.11 - 387,200= 280,509

after tax 280,509 x (1 - 21%) = 221,602.11‬

project cash flow > minimum cash flow

221,602.11 > 151,406

It should be accepted as the cash flow is greater than minimum

One year ago, Debra purchased 5,400 shares of KNF stock for $218,056. Today, she sold those shares for $19.49 a share. What is t

kramer

Answer:

Capital gain yield will be -51.73%

So option (d) will be the correct answer

Explanation:

We have given that Debra purchased 4500 shares of KNF stock for $218056

So price of one share $=\frac{218056}{5400}=$48.380$

So the beginning price = $40.380

She sold the share at price of 19.49 per share

So ending price = $19.49

We have to find the capital gain yield

We know that capital gain yield is given by

Capital gain yield $=\frac{end\ price-beginning\ price}{begninning \ price}=\frac{19.49-40.380}{40.390}=-51.73$ %

So option (d) will be correct option

If the demand increases by 100%, annual production will have to increase to jaw-breakers next year to meet the expected increase

aleksklad [387]

<span>If demand increases by 100% in one year, gummy land has two options. First, they could increase their staff and production hours to meet the increased demand. Second, if demand is increased by 100%, gummy land needs to take a look at a supply and demand chart and decide if increasing the price may slow demand by a little bit but will still increase profits. They need to look at an equilibrium price and decide which of the two options makes the most sense economically. If their demand increased by such a large number, it would be reasonable to assume that their demand would not decrease significantly with a slight increase in price.</span>
