Sampling error occurs when a sample somehow does not represent the target population.
Answer:
Statement (A) is true
<u>Explanation:</u>
Sample means a small group selected from a large group.The large group from which a sample is selected is called the population.Basically a sample is selected to draw conclusions regarding population because it is not possible to study the entire sample.But if sample sample does not represent the target population then our conclusions will not be accurate.This will give rise to sampling errors.
If occurs when sample is biased.So we need to be very careful while selecting a sample.It must represent the entire population not just a part of population.
Sampling error can be reduced by increasing the size of population,dividing population in groups,select appropriate population.
Sampling error occur when population is not correct as per our requirement,or when sample is selected randomly.It may also occur when sample selected does not respond ,at that time it becomes difficult to draw conclusions regarding population.
Answer:
a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.
b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.
Explanation:
Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.
The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.
When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.
Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:
a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.
b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.
Answer:
Discounted payback period = 1.89 years
Explanation:
If Initial cost is $5,200
Year Cash flow Present value Present value Discounted
at 11% Cumulative cash flow
0 -5,200 1 -5,200 -5,200
1 2,800 0.9009 2,523 -2,677
2 3,700 0.811 3,003 326
3 5,100 0.73126 3,729 4,055
4 4,300 0.6587 2,833 6,887
Discounted payback period = 1 + (2,667/3003)
=1.89 years
Working
PV= (1+i)^-n
i= 11%, n= respective years 0,1,2,3,4
