How large of a sample size would you need to estimate a population proportion if you wanted to construct a 95% confidence interval
Answer:
Explanation:
To find a 95% CI with a margin of error no more than ±3.5 percentage points, where the true population proportion is around 42%, you must survey at least 764 people. 10×764 = 7640; presumably the electorate is larger than that.
A canning company defines a "nonconformance" as an orange juice can whose diameter is beyond the upper specification limit.A manager at the canning company wants to monitor the number of such orange juice cans produced per day.Each day,an employee will randomly select 120 cans over a period of four weeks.The employee then determines and plots the number of nonconformance cans in each sample.The appropriate control chart is a(n):_________.
A) u-chart.
B) R-chart.
C) p-chart.
D) np-chart.
Answer:
Option D. np-chart.
Explanation:
An np-chart is an attributes control chart which is used with the data that is collected in subgroups that are the same size. Np-charts are used to show how the process (which is measured by the number of nonconforming items it produces) changes over time. The process attribute is always described in a yes/no, pass/fail, go/no go form.
In other words, an np-chart refers to a plot of number of defective pieces in a fixed sample size in the order of production. If the sample size is fixed, np-chart can be used. For instance, the number of incomplete accident reports in a constant daily sample of five would be plotted on an np-chart.
Final answer:
The appropriate control chart for monitoring nonconforming orange juice cans at a canning company is an np-chart, which is used when dealing with a constant sample size and counting the number of defective items.
Explanation:
The appropriate control chart for monitoring the number of nonconforming orange juice cans whose diameter is beyond the upper specification limit is a np-chart. A np-chart is used for quality control when monitoring the number of defective items in a sample of constant size.
In this case, since the employee samples a constant number of 120 cans each day, and they are counting the number of cans that are nonconformances (either conforming or not), the np-chart is the correct tool to use in this scenario. Other charts like the p-chart, u-chart, and R-chart are not suitable because they are used for different scenarios.
The p-chart is used for proportions when sample sizes vary, the u-chart is used for counts of nonconformances per unit where the sample size can vary, and the R-chart monitors the range within samples as a measure of variability.

Conclusively,the compensatory damages is the return of cash of $25,000.
Fiat money: a is currency backed by the gold in Fort Knox. b is currency from Italy. c has advantages over commodity-backed money. d includes currency, checking deposits and credit cards. e can include currency backed by gold, but not silver.
Answer:
Option D.
Explanation:
Fiat money refers to currency that is issued by the government and which is not backed by any physical commodity, such as gold or silver, but rather by the government that issued it.
The value of fiat money is gotten from the relationship that exists between supply and demand and the stability of the issuing government. The value is not based on the worth of a commodity backing it as is the case for commodity money.
Most modern paper currencies are fiat currencies, including the U.S. dollar, the euro, and other major global currencies. One risk that fiat money faces is the printing of too many of a particular currency, which can contribute to hyperinflation.
Answer:
D.includes currency, checking deposits and credit cards.
Explanation:
Fiat money can be defined as any currency declared as legal tender by the government that lacks intrinsic value.
Fiat money is a government-issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity, such as gold or silver, but rather by the government that issued it. It is not a currency from Italy.
Fiat money gives central banks of a country a greater control over the economy because they can control how much money is printed and the value is defined by the relationship between demand and supply.
In an oligopoly market Group of answer choices individual firms pay no attention to the behavior of other firms. advertising of one firm has no effect on all other firms. one firm's pricing decision affects all the other firms. the pricing decisions of all other firms have no effect on an individual firm.
Answer:
Option C
One firm's pricing decision affects all the other firms
Explanation:
An oligopoly is a market structure where the production of goods and services is shared by only a small number of large firms. A good example is the automobile industry in America
In an oligopoly, the leading firms are actually producing to a certain extent, substitute goods, since they are all within the same industry.
If one of the large firms sets a price, this will affect the pricing that the other large firms will adopt because of the substitutive nature of their goods and services. Businesses operating within an oligopoly want to keep their prices similar. Price reductions by a company will cause the other companies to reduce their prices also, to ensure they are still in the competition.
Hence,a firm's pricing decision affects all the other firms
Vaughn Inc. reported total assets of $2406000 and net income of $332000 for the current year. Vaughn determined that inventory was overstated by $25500 at the beginning of the year (this was not corrected). Ignoring income taxes, what is the corrected amount for total assets and net income for the year?
Answer:
$2,380,500 and $357,500
Explanation:
The movement in the balance of inventory at the start and end of a period is as a result of sales and purchases. While sales reduces the balance in inventory, purchases increases the balance. This may be expressed mathematically as
Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = closing balance
As such, when inventory is overstated at the start of the year, the ending inventory would also be overstated by the same amount, the cost of goods sold would be overstated and net income understated.
Correct amount of asset
= $2406000 - $25500
= $2,380,500
net income for the year
= $332000 + $25500
= $357,500

The December 31, 2016 balance sheet of the Rakmer Company had Accounts Receivable of $650,000 and a credit balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $33,000. During 2017, the following transactions occurred: sales on account $1,550,000; sales returns and allowances, $100,000; collections from customers, $1,250,000; accounts written off, $35,000; previously written off accounts of $8,000 were collected. Instructions (a) Journalize the 2017 transactions. (b) If the company uses the percentage of receivables basis to estimate bad debt expense and determines that uncollectible accounts are expected to be 6% of accounts receivable, what is the adjusting entry at December 31, 2017
Final answer:
To journalize Rakmer Company’s 2017 transactions including sales, returns, collections, and write-offs, the corresponding accounts are debited and credited appropriately. At year-end, calculate the bad debt expense using the percentage of receivables basis by estimating 6% of the total accounts receivable to adjust the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
Explanation:
The transactions for the Rakmer Company in 2017 involve sales on account, collections from customers, sales returns and allowances, accounts written off, and collections on previously written off accounts. To journalize these transactions and estimate bad debt expense for the year, the accounting records would be updated as follows:
Sales on account are recorded as a debit to Accounts Receivable and a credit to Sales Revenue.
Sales returns and allowances are debited to Sales Returns and Allowances and credited to Accounts Receivable.
Collections from customers are recorded as a debit to Cash and a credit to Accounts Receivable.
Accounts written off are debited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and credited to Accounts Receivable.
Recovery of previously written off accounts are recorded as a debit to Accounts Receivable and a credit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, followed by a debit to Cash and a credit to Accounts Receivable upon collection.
For the adjusting entry at year end, assuming a 6% percentage of receivables basis, we calculate 6% of the December 31, 2017, accounts receivable balance to find the desired ending balance for the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. If the existing credit balance in the allowance account is less than this calculated amount, we need to credit Bad Debt Expense and debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the difference. This ensures our allowance reflects the estimated uncollectible amounts at year-end.

The static budget, at the beginning of the month, for Divine Décor Company, follows: Static budget: Sales volume: 1 comma 200 units; Sales price: $ 70 per unit Variable costs: $ 32 per unit; Fixed costs: $ 38 comma 000 per month Operating income: $ 7 comma 600 Actual results, at the end of the month, follows: Actual results: Sales volume: 990 units; Sales price: $ 75 per unit Variable costs: $ 35 per unit; Fixed costs: $ 34 comma 700 per month Operating income: $ 4 comma 900 Calculate the flexible budget variance for sales revenue.
Final answer:
The flexible budget variance for sales revenue is calculated by subtracting the flexible budget sales revenue from the actual sales revenue. In this case, it results in a favorable variance of $4,950, showing that Divine Décor Company's actual sales revenue was higher than what the flexible budget predicted for the given volume.
Explanation:
To calculate the flexible budget variance for sales revenue, we need to compare the actual revenue to what the revenue would have been if the static budget were adjusted to the actual sales volume. The static budget had predicted sales of $84,000 (1,200 units × $70 per unit). However, the actual results show that the Divine Décor Company sold 990 units at $75 per unit, totaling $74,250.
The flexible budget amount for sales revenue would take the actual quantity of units sold and multiply it by the static budget's sales price per unit, which gives us 990 units × $70 per unit = $69,300. The flexible budget variance is the difference between the actual sales revenue and the flexible budget sales revenue. So, the flexible budget variance for sales revenue is $74,250 (actual) - $69,300 (flexible budget) = $4,950 favorable, since the actual revenue exceeded the flexible budget amount.

Kelvin isn’t sure how to read this legal description, but his agent said something about reading it from right to left. Here’s the description: "The north half of the northwest quarter of Section 6, Township 8 North, Range 68 west of the 5th principal meridian." What land description method did surveyors use for this piece of property?
Answer:
Rectangular government survey.
Explanation:
Final answer:
The method used for the land description is the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), also known as the township and range system, which identifies land parcels within a grid layout using a hierarchical method starting with the smallest land division.
Explanation:
The surveyors used the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), also known as the township and range system, to describe the location and area of individual property parcels such as the one mentioned, "The north half of the northwest quarter of Section 6, Township 8 North, Range 68 west of the 5th principal meridian."
This system is based on townships and sections, where a township is designated by its location relative to a specific base line and principal meridian. Each township is typically six miles square, and divided into 36 sections, each one-mile square. Further divisions into halves and quarters of these sections are used to provide more specific descriptions of land parcels.
Legal descriptions like this one start from the smallest division and work backwards to the largest. For example, starting with the "north half" and moving to the "northwest quarter" then to "Section 6," followed by "Township 8 North," and finally "Range 68 West of the 5th principal meridian." This hierarchical method allows for precise identification of land parcels within the large grid overlaid on the land by the PLSS.

Principal amount = $15000
Interest rate = 10%
Interest value = 10%*15000
$1,500
Loan term = 120 days
Pro rated interest = 120/365*1500=493.1

Bread Company hires Craig to sell the companyâs products in a certain area. Bread agrees to pay Craig a salary, plus commission, for a trial period. They also agree that he can sell using any methods and during any hours that seem appropriate. The key factor in whether Craig is Breadâs employee is__________.a. the size of craig's sales area.b. the length of the trial period.c. the control home baked bread has over the details of the work.d. the amount of craig's salary.
The key factor involved in the Sales process of Craig is the control home- baked bread has over the details of the work.
Explanation:
In the process of sales, Corporate ventures apply many marketing strategies to reap the profit margin. It depends upon the reputation of each brand marketed through various selling layouts. Regardless of the size of the market area nor the factor of the trial period and the compensation package, He concentrated only on the quality of the Bread. He strongly believed that homemade bread products should ensure the full health benefits to the buyers who wish to consume again and again without hesitation.
He cannot envisage the status of sales in the future. But at the same time with his tedious jobs of propagating the quality of baked bread, He can boost the marketing and reach its popularity to all wishers who want to consume the product on the regular basis.
The key factor in determining whether Craig is Bread Company's employee is the control that Bread Company has over the details of the work. This control implies the more involvement the company has in dictating how, when, and where the work is done, the more likely it is that an employment relationship exists.
Explanation:In determining whether Craig is Bread Company's employee, the key factor is c. the control that Bread Company has over the details of the work. The more control the Bread Company has over Craig's activities and work details, the more likely it is that Craig would be considered an employee rather than an independent contractor. An example to illustrate this is the Canadian worker who could produce 10 loaves of bread in an hour due to having access to a large industrial-sized oven - it was still the bakery's decision on how much bread to produce, when, and what tools to use. However, in Craig's case, he is allowed to use any methods and work during any hours that he finds suitable, which implies he has a fair amount of autonomy in his role.
On the buyer's side of the labour market, a standard precaution against hiring a "lemon" of an employee is to specify that the first few months of employment are officially a trial or probationary period, and that the employer can dismiss the worker for any reason or no reason after that time. This indicates the element of control the company has over the job tenure during the trial period which is common in many jobs.

When firms face intense competition and market challenges, such as deregulation leading to market entries and exits, they may need to lay off workers to remain viable or when they go bankrupt. This can result in bad publicity, which is yet another barrier making it hard for companies to exit smoothly from the market as it affects brand reputation and stakeholder trust.

June 1 150 units $ 1,040
June 10 200 units 1,560
June 15 200 units 1,680
June 28 150 units 1,320

Using the LIFO inventory method, Alpha First Company's ending inventory value on June 30 is $1,824. This is calculated by attributing the last purchased items (150 units from June 28 and 60 units from June 15) to the 210 units on hand.
Explanation:The Alpha First Company wants to know the value of their ending inventory on June 30 using the LIFO inventory method. LIFO stands for Last-In, First-Out, which means that the most recently acquired items are recorded as sold first. Here's how it works in this case:
Out of the 210 units on hand, 150 units come from the June 28 inventory which cost $1,320. The remaining 60 units come from the June 15 inventory. The cost per unit of this inventory is calculated by dividing the total cost by the total number of units (i.e., $1,680/200), which comes to $8.40 per unit. Therefore, the cost of the 60 units is 60 * $8.40 = $504.
So, the value of the ending inventory on June 30 is the sum of these two amounts, which is $1,320 + $504 = $1,824.
