Answer:

64,000

Explanation:

If 180 out of 320 people were in favor of a gas tax, then 140 people (320 - 180) must have voted against the gas tax (assuming all voted and are valid)

The ratio of those that voted in favor of the tax to those who voted against is 180 to 140 expressed as 9:7 in the simplest form.

Now, if 36,000 people voted in favor of the tax, let the total number of people who voted on the issue be T

9/(9 + 7) × T = 36000

(9/16)T = 36000

9T = 36000 × 16

T = 36000 × 16/9

T = 64,000

This means 64,000 people would have participated in the vote.

If the survey found that in every 320 people, 180 of them voted in favor of gas tax .Then to get the total number of people who voted in favor of gas tax were 36,000. We can get the number of 180 people groups among those who voted in favor. = 36,000/180 = 200 groups
A group of 180 people who voted in favor is equivalent to a group of 360 people who voted. 
Therefore, 200 × 360 people =72,000 people took part in the voting exercise.

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.70 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remainin
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

$0.70 and 3.3

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Household spending for each additional dollar = $0.70

And, the remaining amount = $0.30

So in the given case,

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = household spending for each additional dollar i.e $0.70

And, the Spending multiplier is

= 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

= 1 ÷ 1 - $0.70

= 1 ÷ $0.30

= 3.3

If the probability is 0.54 that Stock A will increase in value during the next month and the probability is 0.68 that Stock B wi
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The probability that neither of both stocks increase  is 0,14

Explanation:

The Complement Rule states that the sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement must equal 1.

The data  we have is the probability that Stock A or B increase,  we are looking for the probability that neither occur,  so we have to use the complement of each one.  

Complement of Stock A =1-0.54=0.46

Complement of Stock B =1-0.68=0.32

If we want to know the probability of both events happening we have to multiply both complements.  

Probability that neither of these two events will occur= 0.46 x0.32= 0,1472‬

Materials costs of $600,000 and conversion costs of $642,600 were charged to a processing department in the month of September.
inn [45]

Answer:Manufacturing costs assigned to completed units  = $1143192

Explanation:

Material Costs = $600 000 (added at the beginning)

Conversion costs = $642600 incurred uniformly through out the process

Units Started = 100 000

Units on hand = 8000 units 40% complete

Units completed = 100 000 - 8000 = 92000 units

Percentage of units completed = 92000/100 000 = 92%

Material costs = $600 000 x 92% = $552000

Conversion Costs = $642 600 x 92% =$591192

Manufacturing costs assigned to completed  = $552000 + $591192

Manufacturing costs assigned to completed units = $1143192

The Morrow Company has assembled the following data pertaining to certain costs that cannot be easily identified as either fixed
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$39,800

Explanation:

From the question above Morrow company has decided to use the measuring cost function method to find its total cost

- $68,400 is the highest cost and $37,600 is the lowest cost

- 6,000 is the highest number of hours and 3,200 is the lowest

The first step is to calculate the cost driver. Let's use the alphabet c to represent the cost driver

(68,400-37,600) / (6,000-3,200)

c = 30,800/2,800

c= $11

Cost driver= $11

The next step is to find the fixed cost. Let's use the alphabet f to represent the fixed cost

68,400= f + ( 11×6000)

68,400= f + 66,000

f= 68,400-66,000

f= $2,400

Fixed cost= $2,400

The final step is to calculate the cost function

Cost function= fixed costs+variable costs×number of units

Fixed cost= $2,400

Variable cost= $11

Number of units= 3,400 hours

= 2,400+(11×3,400)

= 2,400+ 37,400

= $39,800

Hence the total cost at an operating level of 3,400 hours is $39,800
