Answer:

a) 7% or 0.07

b) 42% or 0.42

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Population = 902,

Probability distribution

Strongly support = 0.16 or 16%,

Somewhat support = 0.26 or 26%,

Mixed feelings = ?,

Somewhat oppose = 0.14 or 14%,

Strongly oppose = 0.36 or 36%

Don't know = 0.01 or 1%

a) The summation of every probability of an event (survey) is 100% ⇒ Pr (survey) = 100%

Pr (survey) = Pr [strongly support + somewhat support + mixed feelings + somewhat oppose + strongly oppose + don't know]

100 = 16 + 26 + x + 14 + 36 + 1

To obtain the probability of the 'Mixed feelings' populace, we subtract the summation of all other probabilities from 1 or 100%

x = 100 - (16 + 26 + 14 +36 + 1) = 100 - 93

x = 7% or 0.07

∴ the probability of the 'Mixed feelings' populace is 7% or 0.07

b) Probability of a random adult supporting is given by the summation of the probabilities of the adults who strongly support & those who somewhat support

Pr (support) = Pr (strongly support) + Pr (somewhat support)

Pr (support) = 0.16 + 0.26

Pr (support) = 0.42 or 42%

∴ the probability that a randomly chosen adult supports the casino in Toronto is 42%

Handy Man, Inc., has zero coupon bonds outstanding that mature in eight years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a curre

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

5.657%

Explanation:

Data provided:

Face value = $1,000

Current market price = $640

Time of maturity, t = 8 year

Now,

the compounding formula is given as:

Face value = Current amount × $(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where,

r is the rate i.e pretax rate of debt

n is the number of times the interest is compounded i.e for semiannual n = 2

thus, on substituting the values, we get

$ 1,000= $ 640 × $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{2\times8}$

1.5625 = $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{16}$

$(1+\frac{r}{2})$ = 1.0282

r = 0.05657

pretax cost of debt = 0.05657 × 100% = 5.657%

For 2019, Bargain Basement Stores reported $11,500 of sales and $5,000 of operating costs (including depreciation). The company

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $2,620

Explanation:

WACC = 11%

Capital = $20,500

Sales = $11,500

Operating cost = $5,000

Tax rate = 25%

EBIT = Sales - Operating cost

EBIT = $11,500 - $5,000

EBIT = $6,500

Economic Value Added (EVA) = EBIT (1 - T) - (WACC * Capital)

Economic Value Added (EVA) = 6,500*( 1 - 0.25) - (0.11 * $20,500)

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $4,875 - $2,255

Economic Value Added (EVA) = $2,620

Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is autonomy (Option D)

Explanation:

Autonomy in human resource management refers to the level or degree of discretion and freedom which an employee is permitted to exercise when performing his/her job. In other words, it means granting employees the freedom on how to approach work.

A manager or superior like Margie (in the question) who gives employees autonomy simply gives minimal instruction on what needs to be achieved but allows the employees to go about the job in ways that best suit them.
