Answer:

2.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:.

Given:

Net profit margin ( profitability rate) =  15%

Total sales = $155 million

Total assets = $312 million

Total equity = $223 million.

Dividend rate = 10%

Question asked:

What is the firm's sustainable growth rate ?

First of all we will find these thing.

1. Asset utilization rate = [tex]\frac{Total \ sales}{Total \ assets}[/tex]

                                     = [tex]\frac{155}{312} = 0.496\ million= 0.5\%[/tex]

2. Financial utilization rate   =   [tex]\frac{Total\ debt}{Total\ equity} \\[/tex]

  Total debt = Total asset - Total equity

                   = $312 million -   $223 million = $89 million

                                           = [tex]\frac{89}{223} = 0.4\%[/tex]

3. Return on equity rate = Asset utilization rate [tex]\times[/tex] profitability rate

Return on equity rate = [tex]0.5\times15\times0.4=3\%[/tex]

4. Business retention rate = 100 - Dividend rate

                                           = 100 - 10 = 90%

Now, finally we will calculate sustainable growth rate :

Sustainable growth rate =  Return on equity rate [tex]\times[/tex]  Business retention rate

                                        = [tex]3\%\times90\%=2.7\%[/tex]

Therefore, firm's sustainable growth rate is 2.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the two needed vehicles are A and Q.

Let P(A) be the probability of the vehicle A available when needed.

And, P(Q) be the probability of the vehicle Q available when needed.

Now, P(A) = 90 % = 0.90

⇒ P (not A) =  1 - P(A)  

                    =  1- 0.9 =  0.1

⇒ P (not A) = 0.1

Similarly,  P(Q) = 90 % = 0.90

⇒ P (not Q) =  1 - P(Q)  

                    =  1- 0.9 =  0.1

⇒ P (not Q) = 0.1

So, the probability that both the vehicles are NOT available when needed  

= P(not A) x P(not Q)  

= 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01

Hence, the probability that neither vehicle is available at a given time is 0.01

Answer:

After 12 years height of both the trees would be same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of tree type A = 5 ft

Height of tree type B = 8 ft

We need to find after how many years both the trees will be of same height.

Solution,

Firstly we will convert the height of both plants into inches.

Since we know that 1 feet is equal to 12 inches.

So height of tree type A =[tex]5\ ft=5\times12=60\ in[/tex]

Similarly, height of tree type B =[tex]8\ ft=8\times12=96\ in[/tex]

Also given that;

Rate of growth of tree type A = 9 in/year

and rate of growth of tree type A = 6 in/year

Let the number of years be 'x'.

So according to question after 'x' years the height of both trees type A and type B will be same.

Now we can frame the equation as;

[tex]60+9x=96+6x[/tex]

Combining the like terms, we get;

[tex]9x-6x=96-60\\\\3x=36[/tex]

On dividing both side by '3' using division property, we get;

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{36}{3}\\\\x=12[/tex]

Hence after 12 years height of both the trees would be same.

Answer:

(option C/3) 12^3 + 6x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Took test and got it right.

The product of 2x^2 and (6x + 3) is calculated using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, resulting in 12x^3 + 6x^2.

The question requires us to find the product of the polynomial 2x^2 with the binomial (6x + 3). We use the distributive property of multiplication over addition to multiply 2x^2 by each term in the binomial.

Step 1: Multiply 2x^2 by 6x: 2x^2 * 6x = 12x^3

Step 2: Multiply 2x^2 by 3: 2x^2 * 3 = 6x^2

Thus, the product of 2x^2(6x + 3) = 12x^3 + 6x^2. So the correct answer is D. 12x^3 + 6x^2.

https://brainly.com/question/10258446

Final answer:

Calculating the mean absolute deviation of the top five test scores in Mr. Rhodes's class involves finding the mean score and then the average of the absolute deviations from this mean. The result is a MAD of 1.6, indicating the average dispersion of the top scores from the class mean.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the top five test scores in Mr. Rhodes's class, which are 98, 92, 96, 97, and 97. First, we find the mean (average) of these scores by adding them together and dividing by the number of scores, which gives us (98 + 92 + 96 + 97 + 97) / 5 = 96. Next, we calculate the absolute deviation of each score from the mean, which are 2, 4, 0, 1, and 1 respectively. The mean absolute deviation is then the average of these absolute deviations, calculated as (2 + 4 + 0 + 1 + 1) / 5 = 1.6.

The result of these calculations shows that the mean absolute deviation of the test scores is 1.6. This value represents how much, on average, each of the top five scores deviates from the mean score of the class, providing an understanding of the variability or dispersion within the top scores. The MAD is a useful measure in understanding how spread out the scores are from the mean.

The quadratic function in vertex form to model the height of the flea compared to the horizontal distance travelled is h = -2/15*(d-15)² + 30 with the maximum point at (15, 30) and passing through the origin.

The problem here can be diagnosed using concepts of

quadratic functions

and

vertex form

. In a real world scenario, the motion of a projectile like the flea jumping can be modeled using a downward opening parabola represented by a quadratic function. In this case, we are asked to find the quadratic function in vertex form, which is given by

h = a(d - h1)² + k

where (h1,k) is the vertex of the parabola. In the given scenario, the maximum height attained by the flea is 30 cm which is at a horizontal distance of 15 cm from the starting point, thus the vertex of the parabola is (15, 30). From the information given, we know that the flea starts from the ground, so at the origin, height h = 0. Substituting these values, we get the equation of the parabola as

h = -a(d-15)^2 + 30

.

To find the value of 'a'

, we can use the information that the parabola passes through the origin (0,0). Substituting these values in the equation, we get a = -30/225 = -2/15. Therefore, the quadratic function in vertex form to model the height of the flea compared to the horizontal distance travelled becomes

h = -2/15*(d-15)² + 30

Answer: she bought 5 greeting cards at $2.50 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of greeting cards that she bought at $2.50 each.

Let y represent the number of greeting cards that she bought at $4 each.

She buys some greeting cards that cost $2.50 each and some greeting cards that cost $4 each. She buys 12 cards. This means that

x + y = 12

The total amount that she spent in buying the greeting cards is $40.50. It means that

2.5x + 4y = 40.5- - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 12 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(12 - y) + 4y = 40.5

30 - 2.5y + 4y = 40.5

- 2.5y + 4y = 40.5 - 30

1.5y = 10.5

y = 10.5/1.5

y = 7

x = 12 - y = 12 - 7

x = 5

Maya bought 5 greeting cards that cost $2.50 each.

Step 1

Let's denote the number of greeting cards that cost $2.50 as x, and the number of greeting cards that cost $4 as y . We know two things from the problem statement:

1. Maya buys a total of 12 cards: x + y = 12 .

2. The total cost of the cards is $40.50: 2.50x + 4y = 40.50.

Now, we'll solve these equations simultaneously to find x .

From equation (1):

x + y = 12

y = 12 - x

Step 2

Substitute y = 12 - x into equation (2):

[tex]\[ 2.50x + 4(12 - x) = 40.50 \][/tex]

Expand and simplify:

[tex]\[ 2.50x + 48 - 4x = 40.50 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ -1.50x + 48 = 40.50 \][/tex]

Subtract 48 from both sides:

[tex]\[ -1.50x = 40.50 - 48 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ -1.50x = -7.50 \][/tex]

Step 3

Divide both sides by -1.50 to solve for x :

[tex]\[ x = \frac{-7.50}{-1.50} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = 5 \][/tex]

So, Maya bought x = 5 greeting cards that cost $2.50 each.

Verification:

Now, substitute x = 5 back into the equation y = 12 - x  to find y :

y = 12 - 5

y = 7

Check the total cost:

[tex]\[ 2.50 \cdot 5 + 4 \cdot 7 = 12.50 + 28 = 40.50 \][/tex]

Everything checks out correctly. Therefore, Maya bought 5 greeting cards that cost $2.50 each.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is 11423 ft3

Final answer:

The difference in volume of the weather balloon from launch to burst is calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere, considering the change in diameters from 5 ft to 28 ft. The resulting difference is approximately 11,428.89 cubic feet.

Explanation:

The question asks for the difference in volume of a weather balloon when it burst compared to at launch. To solve this, we use the formula for the volume of a sphere, which is V = \(\frac{4}{3}\)\(\pi\)r^3, where r is the radius of the sphere. Given that the diameter at launch was 5 ft and at burst was 28 ft, the radiuses would be 2.5 ft and 14 ft, respectively.

Volume at launch: V1 = \(\frac{4}{3}\)\(\pi\)(2.5)^3 \approx 65.45 cubic feet. Volume at burst: V2 = \(\frac{4}{3}\)\(\pi\)(14)^3 \approx 11,494.34 cubic feet. The difference in volume: V2 - V1 \approx 11,494.34 - 65.45 \approx 11,428.89 cubic feet.

Therefore, the difference in volume of the balloon when it burst compared to at launch is approximately 11,428.89 cubic feet.

[tex]f(x)=x^{4}+x^{3}-10x^{2} +8x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is a factor of f(x) if and only if f(x) is zero for that value/number.

For the factors of a function we write the factors as x-a where a is the zero of function i.e. value at which f(x) is zero.

To write the polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include 2, -4, and 1, 3i, we find the f(x) is the product of all factors i.e x-a where a will represent the given zeros.

[tex]f(x)=(x-2)(x-(-4))(x-1)(x-3i)\\f(x)=(x-2)(x+4))(x-1)(x-3i)\\f(x)=(x^{2} +4x-2x-8)(x^{2} -3xi-x+3i )\\f(x)=(x^{2} +2x-8)(x^{2} -x-(3x+3)i)\\[/tex]

(I find this much easier than trying to figure the coordinates.)

Answer:

F=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the difficulty of visualizing the graph of the function in degrees (graph 1), we will graph it in radians (graph 2)

f(x)=−sin(3x)−1 ≡ y=−sin(3x)−1

To graph y=−sin(3x)−1

y=a.sin(bx+c)+d, where

a=-1, b=3, c=0, d=-1 and the period (T) of the function  is:

[tex]T=\frac{2\pi }{b}=\frac{2\pi }{3}[/tex]

On the graph 2 we place the original function y=sin(x) to compare

We watch that y=−sin(3x)−1 moves 1 down (-), but amplitud is the same (1)

Frequency is the number of repetitions (3x) of a function in a given interval, so

F=3

The frequency of the function f(x) = -sin(3x) - 1 is 3/(2π), determined by the coefficient of x inside the sine function.

The frequency of the function f(x) = -sin(3x) - 1 can be determined by examining the coefficient of x within the sine function. The standard form for a sine function is f(x) = sin(Bx), and the frequency f is given by f = B/(2π). In this case, the coefficient B is 3, so the frequency of the function is 3/(2π), which is already in simplest fraction form.

Answer:

There will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

The needed function is [tex]y = 2 ^n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the piece of paper James decides to fold is a SQUARE.

Now, let us assume:

n : the number of times the paper is folded.

y : The number of parts obtained after folds.

Now, if the paper if folded ONCE ⇒  n = 1

Also, when the pap er is folded once, the parts obtained are TWO equal parts.

⇒  for n = 1 , y = 2       ..... (1)

Similarly, if the paper if folded TWICE  ⇒  n = 2

Also, when the paper is folded twice, the parts obtained are FOUR equal parts.

⇒  for n = 2 , y = 4       ..... (2)

⇒[tex]y = 2^2 = 2^n[/tex]

Continuing the same way, if the paper is folded SEVEN times  ⇒  n = 7

So, [tex]y = 2^ n = 2^7 = 128[/tex]

⇒  There are total 128 equal parts.

Lastly,  if the paper is folded ELEVEN  times  ⇒  n = 11

So, [tex]y = 2^ n = 2^{11} = 2048[/tex]

⇒  There are total 2048 equal parts.

Hence, there will be total 2048 parts of the given paper if James if able to fold the paper eleven times.

And the needed function is [tex]y = 2 ^n[/tex]

Answer:

Adding a constant to every score increases the mean by the same constant amount. Thus, μ

= 50+10= 60.

Adding a constant to every score has no effect on the standard deviation. σ = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If a constant value is added to every score in a distribution, the same constant will be added to the mean. similarly, if you subtract a constant from every score, the same constant will be subtracted from the mean.

A;so recall the definition of standard deviation, it measures how each observation is far from its center on average, so if you shift your data by A then, also every observation is shifted by A and then standard deviations stays the same. also think standard deviation as measure of spread not a measure of scale.

When 10 points are added to every score in a population with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 5, the new mean will be 60 but the standard deviation does not change and remains 5.

In the given scenario, the population has a mean of 50 (µ = 50) and a standard deviation of 5 (σ = 5). When you add 10 points to every score in the population, the mean of the population, which is the average of all scores, will increase by 10, resulting in a new mean of 60.

The standard deviation, which measures the dispersion or spread of scores from the mean, will not change. This happens because adding a constant to every score only shifts the entire distribution of scores, but does not increase or decrease the spread, or 'standard deviation,' among them. In other words, the new value of the standard deviation will remain as 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x−y+4=0

y=2x+4

m=2

Line are parallel, so their slope is the same.

A(-1,5)... x1 =-1,y1 =5

y-y1 =m(x-x1)

y1 - 5=2(x-(-1))

y1 - 5=2(x+1)

y1-5=2x+2

y=2x+2+5

y=2x+7

Answer: y = 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

c represents y intercept

m represents the slope of the line.

The equation of the given line is

2x - y + 4 = 0

y = 2x + 4

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = 2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 1, 5) is 2

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 1 and y = 5 into y = mx + c. It becomes

5 = 2 × - 1 + c

5 = - 2 + c

c = 5 + 2 = 7

The equation becomes

y = 2x + 7

The demand for that college will be equal to 1 or it can be said as unit elastic demand over the tuition range. This means that the demand for the college would move proportionately with the tuition range of that college, since the change in revenue is due to the change in tuition only.

Hope this helps.

Good luck and cheers.

Answer:

demand for the college is equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

- We know that the change in Total Revenue is only the function of change in tuition fee only.

- The change in tution fee is subjected to 15% last year multiplied by the corresponding change in demand for the college will lead to a change in total revenue.

- The relation can be expressed as:

                                         ΔTR =  Δ P *ΔD

Where,

         ΔTR : Change in Total Revenue

         Δ P : Change in tuition fee

         ΔD : Change in demand.

- For TR to remain unchanged then ΔTR = 0. Hence,

                                         ΔTR = 0 = Δ P *ΔD

- We are given a change in Δ P = 15%, so that means for ΔTR = 0, the change in demand ΔD = 0.

- ΔD = 0, also means that the elasticity of the demand curve is perfectly elastic or in other words the demand for the college is equal to 1.

[tex] \\ \frac{2}{3}*60 = 40\;min[/tex]  

We know that each task takes the same amount of time. So, 40min can be divided by 5:

[tex] \\ \frac{40}{5} = 8\;min[/tex]

Thus, each task takes 8 min to be completed. Then, it takes the robot 8 minutes to complete one task.

Part B

The robot can complete 5 tasks in 40 minutes, how many tasks can the robot complete in 60 minutes or one hour?

There are 20 minutes ahead to complete one hour. In the next 8 minutes, the robot can complete one task. There are still 12 minutes ahead. In the next 8 minutes, the robot completes another task. There is still 4 minutes ahead to complete the hour, but in 4 minutes the robot can complete half of the task because it takes 8 minutes for a complete task. Therefore, the robot can complete 5 tasks + 2 tasks + 0.5 task = 7.5 tasks in one hour or 60 minutes.

We can obtain the same answer using proportions. That is, if 5 tasks are completed in 40 minutes, how many of them will be completed in one hour or 60 minutes.  

Then

[tex] \\ \frac{5\;tasks}{40\;min} = \frac{x}{60\;min}[/tex]

[tex] \\ \frac{5\;tasks}{40\;min}*60\;min = x[/tex]

[tex] \\ x = \frac{5\;tasks*60\;min}{40\;min}[/tex]

[tex] \\ x = \frac{300\;tasks}{40} = 7.5\;tasks[/tex]

Part C (A)

From part A, we already know that the robot can complete a task in 8 minutes, which is a fraction of one hour. What is this fraction? In one hour we have 60 minutes, then

[tex] \\ 8\;min*\frac{1\;hour}{60\;min} = 1\;hour*\frac{8}{60} = 1\;hour*\frac{4}{30} = 1\;hour*\frac{2}{15} = 0.1333333....\;hours \approx 0.1333\;hours[/tex].

Therefore, it takes the robot about [tex] \\ \frac{2}{15}\;hour[/tex] or 0.1333 hour to complete one task (rounding to four decimal places) or 13.33% of one hour.
