Answer:

- 15.75%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return on his investment is shown below:

= (Year end investment value - investment value + annual dividend) ÷ (Investment value)

= ($2,000 - $2,400 + $22) ÷ ($2,400)

= -$378 ÷ 2,400

= - 15.75%

Simply we divided the difference of investment and added the annual dividend and then divided it by the investment value

Vika [28.1K]

The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16.

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}

Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}

Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879

Highfill Corporation's variable overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor-hours. The standard cost card for product D80D
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $3,741 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The standard variable overhead rate is $6.10 per direct labor-hour.

During the most recent month, 1,300 units of product D80D were made and 8,700 direct labor-hours were worked. The actual variable overhead incurred was $56,770

To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity

actual rate= 56,770/8,700= $6.53 per hour

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (6.1 - 6.53)*8,700

Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $3,741 unfavorable

Ber [7]

As it is known that future cash flows are risky in nature so it is not possible to discount them at risk free rate. So investor must discount the future cash flows based on the equity cost of capital. It is the expected return of the other investments available in the market with same kind of risk to the firm’s share.

Price of the stock can be found by using the cost of equity equation which is as follows:

Po = Div_1 + P_1 / 1 + r_E

$15 = 0.8 + X / 1.12

X = $16

So the expected selling price of the stock is $16.00
