Answer:  To remove bias when estimating the proportion of working adults living in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Explanation: In simple words, stratification refers to the process in which different sections of the society are grouped on the basis of one or more general factors.

In the given case, the company wants to estimate the minutes of working adults in the region and the region is grouped into urban, suburban and rural.

Thus, the random selection from different regions is done so that no bias takes place regarding the number of adult working in these three different areas.

Please decide whether each of the follow scenarios related to the loanable funds market will result in a shift in supply or a sh
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1. When China decides to reduce its capital investment in the US, US's capital inflows, which are a source of loanable funds in the US, take a hit. This leads to a reduction in supply of loanable funds in the US, shifting the supply curve leftward.  

2. When a ban is imposed on fast food restaurants, the amount loanable funds demanded by the fast food industry reduces, leading to a leftward shift m the demand curve of loanable funds.  

3. When fast food restaurants are allowed to open franchised locations, the amount loanable funds demanded by the fast food industry increases, leading to a rightward shift m the demand curve of loanable funds.  

4. When the US government reduces its deficit, it reduces its borrowings. A reduction in borrowing by the US government leads to a reduction in the demand for loanable funds, and therefore shifts the demand curve fur loanable funds leftward.  

5. When individual start to spend more owing to the wealth effect, savings reduce, leading to a fall in the supply of loanable funds. Due to this, there occurs a leftward shift in the supply calve for loanable funds.

Last year Lowell Inc. had a total assets turnover of 1.40 and an equity multiplier of 1.75. Its sales were $295,000 and its net
katrin [286]

Answer:

ROE would have changed by 8.52%

Explanation:

First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,

ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity

or

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier

  • Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%

The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.

  • New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
  • The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%
