Answer:
d. The nominal interest rate was 6 percent and the inflation rate was 1 percent.
Explanation:
Nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate
Real interest rate is nominal interest rate less inflation rate. The real interest rate represents the real purchasing power of interest paid.
If the interest rate buys 5 percent more goods ,it means that the purchasing power and the real interest rate is 5 percent.
The nominal interest rate is 6 %
Inflation rate = nominal interest rate - real interest rate
= 6% - 5% = 1%

Sharon has eaten a lot of pizza in the past few years. In fact, she’s growing tired of pizza. Recently, she realized that pizza no longer brings her the same satisfaction, falling from 12 utils to 7 utils. Benefiting from higher productivity, Sharon’s favorite pizzeria also lowered prices from $2 to $1 per slice. What happens to Sharon’s marginal utility per dollar spent?
Answer:
the Sharon's marginal utility per dollar increases
Explanation:
We have given
In present scenario
Marginal utility derived = 12
And price per unit = $2
So marginal utility per $ [tex]=\frac{12}{2}=$6[/tex]
Now in revised scenario
Number of utility derived = 7
And And price per unit = $1
So marginal utility per $ [tex]=\frac{7}{1}=$7[/tex]
So the Sharon's marginal utility per dollar increases
Otto Enterprises has a bond issue outstanding with a coupon of 8 percent that matures in 15 years. The bond is currently priced at $923.60 and has a par value of $1,000. Interest is paid semiannually. What is the yield to maturity?a. 8.67%b. 9.93%c. 9.16%d. 8.93%e. 8.45%

Kd = 7 + 167.43/171.67 x 2
Kd = 8.95%
The yield to maturity is approximately 8.95%
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
The yield to maturity of the bond is calculated by applying internal rate of return formula. The current market price of the bond is the cashflow for year 0. The coupon on the bond (R = 8% x $1,000) is the cashflow for year 1 to 15 and the cashflow for year 15 is the face value.
All cashflows are discounted at 7% and 9% discount rates. The net present values were obtained by deducting the present value in year 0 from the present value of year 1 to 15.
Finally, the yield to maturity is calculated by applying the interpolation formula stated above, where LR denotes the lower discount rate, HR represents the higher discount rate, NPV1 refers to the positive NPV and NPV2 refers to the negative NPV.
Government contracts require that contractors perform at high levels of quality, and ask that the contractors specify in their proposals the specific quality standards with which their processes will be compliant. (Recognize the role of standards and specifications in the SE Processes.) a. Trueb. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Government uses contracts to hire people or companies to provide goods and services needed for different purposes and they establish all the terms under which contractors are hired and the obligations that they have to fulfill. The government requires in these contracts that the contractors meet certain quality standards to be able to get a good and/or service that is adequate to its needs. Also, the proposal contractors present need to include how they are going to provide the service and/or good and the standards that they will comply with so it could be determine by the Government if that is what is required and could be enforced in the future as it will be included in the contract. According to that, the statement is true.
Assume the following information:Selling price per unit $200Contribution margin ratio 50%Total fixed costs $275,000How many units must be sold to generate a profit of $50,000?
a. 3,250 unitsb. 2,500 unitsc. 2,750 unitsd. 4,000 units
Answer:
Level of sales (dollars) to earn profit of $50,000
= Fixed cost + desired profit
Contribution margin ratio
= $275,000 + $50,000
0.5
= $650,000
Number of units to earn profit of $50,000
= Level of sales
Selling price
= $650,000
$200
= 3,250 units
The correct answer is A
Explanation:
First and foremost, the level of sales (dollars) to earn $50,000 profit is calculated, which is the ratio of fixed cost and desired profit to contribution margin ratio. Then, we will calculate the number of units to be sold in order to earn $50,000 profit by dividing the level of sales by selling price.
Final answer:
To generate a profit of $50,000 with a selling price of $200, a contribution margin ratio of 50%, and total fixed costs of $275,000, 3,250 units must be sold. This is calculated using the profit equation with the contribution margin per unit, which comes out to $100 per unit in this case.
Explanation:
To determine how many units need to be sold to generate a profit of $50,000 given a selling price per unit of $200, a contribution margin ratio of 50%, and total fixed costs of $275,000, we must first calculate the contribution margin per unit and then use the profit equation to find the required quantity of units. The contribution margin per unit can be found by multiplying the selling price per unit by the contribution margin ratio: $200 × 50% = $100 per unit.
The profit equation is given by: Profit = (Contribution margin per unit × Quantity of units sold) - Fixed costs. To achieve the desired profit of $50,000, we rearrange this equation to solve for the quantity of units sold: Quantity of units sold = (Profit + Fixed costs) / Contribution margin per unit. Plugging in the values, we get Quantity of units sold = ($50,000 + $275,000) / $100 = 3,250 units. Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) 3,250 units.
The cash account for Stone Systems at July 31, 20Y5, indicated a balance of $17,750. The bank statement indicated a balance of $33,650 on July 31, 20Y5. Comparing the bank statement and the accompanying canceled checks and memos with the records reveals the following reconciling items:
Checks outstanding totaled $17,865.
A deposit of $9,150, representing receipts of July 31, had been made too late to appear on the bank statement.
The bank had collected $6,095 on a note left for collection. The face of the note was $5,750.
A check for $390 returned with the statement had been incorrectly recorded by Stone Systems as $930. The check was for the payment of an obligation to Holland Co. for the purchase of office supplies on account.
A check drawn for $1,810 had been incorrectly charged by the bank as $1,180.
Bank service charges for July amounted to $80.
Prepare a bank reconciliation.
Answer:
The bank reconciliation statement is as shown below:
Amount in $
Balance per bank statement 33,650.00
Deposit in transit 9,150.00
Outstanding check (17,865.00)
Bank charges 80.00
Note collected (6,095.00)
Returned check (540.00)
Check drawn (630.00)
Book balance 17,750.00
Explanation:
Deposit in transit has been recorded in the books, thus the addition to the bank balance. Bank charges have been deducted from the bank balance but not in the cash book hence it is added back. Note collected is yet to be recognized in the books hence the deduction from the bank balance.
Amount recorded from the check returned is more than the actual by $540 hence the deduction. The check drawn has been over charged by the bank to the tune of $630 hence the deduction.
The bank reconciliation process involves adjusting the book and bank balances by adding or deducting reconciling items to determine any discrepancies. After adjustments, the book balance should match the bank's balance, confirming the accuracy of the transactions.
Explanation:To prepare a bank reconciliation for Stone Systems, we start with the balance as per the books and the balance as per the bank statement and make adjustments for any discrepancies.
Balance as per the books (cash account): $17,750 Add: deposit in transit: $9,150Add: Note collected by the bank (including interest): $6,095Add: Under-recorded payment to Holland Co: $540 ($930 − $390)Less: Bank service charges: $80Adjusted balance as per the books: $33,455Now, let’s adjust the bank balance:
Balance as per bank statement: $33,650,Less: Outstanding checks: $17,865,Add: Check overcharged by the bank: $630 ($1,810 − $1,180),Adjusted balance as per bank: $16,415After checking the discrepancies, the adjusted balance in the bank reconciliation prepared should match from both perspectives, confirming the correctness of both the bank and book entries.

Special Order Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad selling for $7. Daily fixed costs are $1,200, and variable costs are $4 per meal. With a capacity of 800 meals per day, the restaurant serves an average of 750 meals each day. (a.) Determine the current average cost per meal. Round your answer to two decimal places. $Answer (b.) A busload of 30 Girl Scouts stops on its way home from the San Bernardino National Forest. The leader offers to bring them in if the scouts can all be served a meal for a total of $150. The owner refuses, saying he would lose $0.60 per meal if he accepted this
Answer:
a.
Average cost per meal = Variable cost per meal + Fixed cost allocated to one meal sold = $4 + Total fixed cost/ Number of meals sold per day = $4 + 1,200/750 = $5.60.
b.
Price per one meal as per the leader of the Scout = 150/30 = $5
As the selling price is $0.60 lower than the average cost per meal ($5-$5.60), the owner has come up with the loss of $0.60 per meal served under the Scout leader's suggestion.
However, his calculation is not reasonable, because among the $5.60 cost per meal, there is a factor of allocated fixed cost equals to $1.6 per meal which will incurred regardless of the suggestion being accepted or not.
Given his restaurant does not run at full capacity, his profit per one meal from accepting the offer should be calculated as Price per one meal as per Scout leader offer - Variable cost per one meal = $5 - $4 = $1.
Explanation:
Calculate current average cost per meal and analyze a new offer in a restaurant.
A. To determine the current average cost per meal, you need to calculate the total cost per day and divide it by the number of meals served.
Total Cost Per Day = Fixed Costs + (Variable Costs Per Meal x Number of Meals)
Total Cost Per Day = $1,200 + ($4 x 750) = $4,200
Average Cost Per Meal = Total Cost Per Day / Number of Meals = $4,200 / 750 = $5.60
B. If the owner were to accept the offer for 30 Girl Scouts for $150, the cost per meal would be $5. If the current cost per meal is $5.60 and the owner would lose $0.60 per meal, it's not advisable to accept the offer.
Suppose a study finds that college students who received financial aid have a greater tendency to graduate than do college students who do not receive financial aid. What is the identification problem that the authors must solve? If the authors conclude on the basis of the data that receiving financial aid increases the ability of college students to graduate, are they correct? What would be the best solution to the identification problem? Explain.
Answer:
Consider the following explanation
Explanation:
1 First he has,reasonably detailed knowledge of the market in question
2.The second general approach is to use advanced statistical analysis to identify the data
3.Author must collect data not only related to financial aid and college graduates but also on the many variables that can effect these variables .
4.Once the data are collected (which is often much more difficult than it sounds!), the author can then use some advanced statistical techniques to estimate the parameters, including one technique called multiple regression analysis.
If the author has done all these above things on the data ,then i think that his conclusion will be correct.
The best solution to the identification problem is it requires knowledge of the various variables that effect both the financial aid and college graduates so that advanced statistical estimation can be undertaken, In either case, however, knowledge of financial aid and college graduates alone is not sufficient to identify the data and drawing conclusions on the basis of it.
The authors must solve the identification problem of selection bias. They may not be correct in concluding that financial aid increases graduation rates based on the data alone. The best solution to the identification problem is a randomized controlled experiment.
Explanation:The identification problem that the authors must solve in this study is the issue of selection bias. In other words, they need to determine whether the difference in graduation rates between college students who received financial aid and those who did not is solely due to the financial aid or if there are other factors at play.
If the authors conclude that receiving financial aid increases the ability of college students to graduate based on the data alone, they may not be correct. The data may be confounded by other variables, such as the students' socioeconomic background or academic abilities, which could be influencing both the likelihood of receiving financial aid and the graduation rate.
The best solution to the identification problem would be to use a randomized controlled experiment. This would involve randomly assigning some eligible students to receive financial aid and others not to receive financial aid. By comparing the graduation rates between the two groups, the authors can more confidently attribute any differences to the impact of financial aid.
Hart Manufacturing makes three products. Each product requires manufacturing operations in three departments: A, B, and C. The labor-hour requirements, by department, are as follows: Department Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 A 2.00 1.50 3.00 B 2.50 2.00 1.00 C 0.25 0.25 0.25 During the next production period the labor-hours available are 450 in department A, 350 in department B, and 50 in department C. The profit contributions per unit are $30 for product 1, $25 for product 2, and $28 for product 3. Formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution. If the constant is "1" it must be entered in the box. If required, round your answers to two decimal places. Let Pi = units of product i produced
Answer:
Objective function:
Maximize Z: 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3
Subject to: 2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3 ≤ 450 (Department A constraint)
2.50P1 + 2.00P2 + P3 ≤ 350 (Department B constraint)
0.25P1 + 0.25P2 + 0.25P3 ≤ 50 (Department C constraint)
P1, P2, P3 ≥ 0 (Non-negativity)
Explanation:
The objective function is formulated from the contribution margin of the three products. For instance, the contribution of Product 1 is $30, the contribution of Product 2 is $25 and the contribution of Product 3 is $28. Thus, the objective function will be 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3.
The constraints were obtained from the departmental labour hours requirements for each product. For instance, Product 1 requires 2 hours in department A, Product 2 requires 1.50 hours in department A and Product 3 requires 3 hours in Department A. Thus, the constraint will be 2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3.
Maximize total profit contribution by determining the optimal production quantities for three products (P1, P2, P3) subject to labor-hour constraints in departments A, B, and C, with profit contributions of $30, $25, and $28 per unit, respectively.
To formulate a linear programming model for maximizing total profit contribution, we need to define the decision variables, the objective function, and the constraints. Let [tex]\( P_1, P_2, \)[/tex] and [tex]\( P_3 \)[/tex] represent the units of products 1, 2, and 3 produced, respectively.
The objective function to maximize the total profit contribution is given by:
[tex]\[ Z = 30P_1 + 25P_2 + 28P_3 \][/tex]
Subject to the following constraints:
1. Labor-hour constraint for department A:
[tex]\[ 2P_1 + 1.5P_2 + 3P_3 \leq 450 \][/tex]
2. Labor-hour constraint for department B:
[tex]\[ 2.5P_1 + 2P_2 + 1P_3 \leq 350 \][/tex]
3. Labor-hour constraint for department C:
[tex]\[ 0.25P_1 + 0.25P_2 + 0.25P_3 \leq 50 \][/tex]
4. Non-negativity constraint:
[tex]\[ P_1, P_2, P_3 \geq 0 \][/tex]
The linear programming model can be summarized as follows:
Maximize:
[tex]\[ Z = 30P_1 + 25P_2 + 28P_3 \][/tex]
Subject to:
[tex]\[ 2P_1 + 1.5P_2 + 3P_3 \leq 450 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2.5P_1 + 2P_2 + 1P_3 \leq 350 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 0.25P_1 + 0.25P_2 + 0.25P_3 \leq 50 \][/tex]
And the non-negativity constraint:
[tex]\[ P_1, P_2, P_3 \geq 0 \][/tex]
This model aims to maximize the total profit contribution considering the labor-hour constraints in each department. Linear programming techniques can be applied to find the optimal values of [tex]\( P_1, P_2, \)[/tex]and \[tex](\( P_3 \)[/tex] that maximize the total profit contribution.
A factory machine was purchased for $375,000 on January 1, 2018. It was estimated that it would have a $75,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 40,000 hours in the 5 years. The company ran the machine for 4,000 actual hours in 2018. If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2018 would be A) $37,500. B) $60,000. C) $75,000. D) $30,000.
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense for 2018 would be D) $30,000.
Explanation:
The units-of-activity depreciation method is calculated by using the following formula:
Depreciation Expense = [(Cost of machine − Salvage Value)/Life in Number of hours run] x Number of hours actual run = Depreciation Expense per hour x Number of hours run.
In the company,
Depreciation Expense per hour = ($375,000 - $75,000)/40,000 = $7.5
The company ran the machine for 4,000 actual hours in 2018.
The amount of depreciation expense for 2018 = $7.5 x 4,000 = $30,000

Imagine you are a Starbucks executive traveling to China from the company’s U.S. headquarters. You are going to Beijing to negotiate a commercial real estate deal. Based on what you know about high and low context differences between the United States and China, what should you avoid doing?
Multiple Choice:A. discussing non-business-related topicsB. relying on situational cuesC. quickly getting down to businessD. shaking hands after the negotiations are completeE. dressing in formal attire
In China, a high-context culture, it's important to avoid quickly getting down to business, instead focusing on building relationships and trust.
Explanation:When traveling to China from the United States to negotiate a commercial real estate deal, it is important to be aware of the cultural differences between high and low context cultures. In this scenario, the answer is C. quickly getting down to business. High-context cultures, like China, value relationships and trust-building, which often involve non-business related interactions and a slower approach to business dealings. Therefore, as a Starbucks executive, you should avoid the tendency of low-context cultures like the U.S., which is to quickly get down to business without adequate relationship-building. Other professional behaviors such as dressing in formal attire and shaking hands after negotiations could be appropriate depending on the specific circumstances and the preferences of the Chinese counterparts.
You have noticed that paying higher wages attracts more productive employees. However, you are concerned that there may be a limit to this relationship. Some experimentation has convinced you that the relationship between daily wages paid (x) and profits can be modelled by the equation Profit = 50x − 0.5x2 + .001x3 + 200. The range of wages you are willing to consider is from $0 to $500 per day. Determine the level of wages that will maximize profit.
Answer:
The level of wages that maximize tge profit is $61.257
And the correspond value for the profit is:
[tex]p(61.257)=50(61.257)-0.5(61.257)^2 + .001(61.257)^3 + 200=1616.502[/tex]
Explanation:
For this case we have the following function:
[tex] p(x)= 50x -0.5x^2 +0.001x^3 +200[/tex]
Where x represent the daily wages paid [tex]0 \leq x \leq 500[/tex], and p(x) the profit, the objective is maximize this function, and in order to do this the first step is derivate the function respect to x and we got this:
[tex]\frac{dp}{dx}=50-x+0.003x^2[/tex]
As we can see we have a quadratic equation now we need to set up equal the derivate obtained to 0 and then solve for the critical points, like this:
[tex]\frac{dp}{dx}=0.003x^2 -x +50 =0[/tex]
We can use the quadratic formula given by:
[tex]x =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
And for this case a=0.003 , b=-1 , c =50
Replacing this we got :
[tex]x =\frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 -4(0.003)(50)}}{2(0.003)}[/tex]
[tex] x = \frac{1 \pm \frac{\sqrt{10}}{5}}{0.006}[/tex]
And we got:
[tex] x_1 =61.257 , x_2= 272.076[/tex]
Now we need to find the second derivate, like this:
[tex] \frac{d^2p}{dx^2}=0.006x-1[/tex]
And we can replace the values obtained:
[tex]0.006(61.257)-1 =-0.632 <0[/tex]
So then 61.257 is a maximum.
[tex]0.006(272.076)-1 =0.632 >0[/tex]
So then 272.076 is a minimum.
So then the level of wages that maximize tge profit is $61.257
And the correspond value for the profit is:
[tex]p(61.257)=50(61.257)-0.5(61.257)^2 + .001(61.257)^3 + 200=1616.502[/tex]
Final answer:
The student should calculate the derivative of the profit function, set it to zero to find critical points, and identify which of these maximizes the profit under the given wage constraint.
Explanation:
The student is tasked with finding the level of daily wages that will maximize the company's profit, given the profit function Profit = 50x - 0.5x2 + 0.001x3 + 200, where x represents the daily wage between $0 to $500. To find the wage that maximizes profit, we need to calculate the derivative of the profit function with respect to x and set it to zero to find the critical points. Then we can examine these points within the context of the wage constraints to determine the optimal wage level.
Calculate the derivative of the profit function: d(Profit)/dx = 50 - x + 0.003x2.Set the derivative equal to zero: 0 = 50 - x + 0.003x2.Solve for x to find critical points that fall within the wage range of $0 to $500.Analyze the critical points and choose the one that maximizes profit, considering the constraint.(Stock Market) Write a program to help a local stock trading company automate its systems.

The unemployment rate is the percentage of people in the labor force who do not have a job. In this case, the unemployment rate is 5.5%.
Explanation:The unemployment rate is a key economic indicator that measures the percentage of the labor force without a job and actively seeking employment. It reflects the health of the job market and overall economy. The rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by the total labor force and is often reported monthly by government agencies.
Thus, this rate is defined as the percentage of people in the labor force who do not have a job. In this case, the labor force is 123 million and the number of unemployed people is 6.8 million. To calculate the unemployment rate, we divide the number of unemployed by the labor force and multiply by 100. So the unemployment rate is (6.8 million / 123 million) * 100 = 5.5%.

In its 2018 fiscal year, the data storage company, NetApp Inc., reported that it had 267.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, trading at a price of about $68 per share. On the firm's balance sheet, the value of common stock equity was reported as $2.067 billion. NetApp's market/book ratio was ________.
(A) 7.7
(B) 68
(C) 8.8
(D) greater than 100
Answer:
option (C) 8.8
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Common stock outstanding = 267.9 million shares
Market price = $68 per share
Value of common stock equity reported = $2.067 billion
Now,
Market value = Market price × Number of Common stock outstanding
= $68 × 267.9 million
= $18,217.2 million
= $18,217,200,000
Book value = $2.067 billion = $2,067,000,000
therefore,
NetApp's market/book ratio = $18,217,200,000 ÷ $2,067,000,000
= 8.81 ≈ 8.8
Hence,
Answer is option (C) 8.8
The market/book ratio for NetApp Inc. is calculated by dividing its total market value ($18.217 billion) by its book value of equity ($2.067 billion), resulting in a ratio of approximately 8.8.
Explanation:The market/book ratio of NetApp Inc. can be calculated by dividing the total market value by the book value of equity. The total market value is found by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the price per share, which is 267.9 million shares times $68 per share, resulting in approximately $18.217 billion. The book value of equity is given as $2.067 billion. Therefore, the market/book ratio is $18.217 billion divided by $2.067 billion, which equals approximately 8.8.
A bond's current market value is equal to the present value of the coupon payments plus the present value of the face amount.a. Trueb. False
Answer:
The present value of a bond equals present value of annual coupon and present value of the face value of the bond. The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
In this case, we will obtain the present value of annual coupon by discounting the coupon at the present value of annuity factor for the bond duration. We will also obtain the present value of the face value of the bond by discounting the face value at the present value factor for the bond maturity.
Final answer:
The statement is true; a bond's market value is indeed the sum of the present value of its coupon payments and its face value, discounted at the bond's yield to maturity.
Explanation:
The statement that a bond's current market value is equal to the present value of the coupon payments plus the present value of the face amount is true. This relationship is fundamental in finance and is used to price bonds. The present value of the coupon payments represents the income stream the bondholder expects to receive until the bond matures, while the present value of the face amount represents the lump-sum payment the bondholder expects at maturity.
When calculating the present value of these amounts, we use a discount rate that reflects the bond's yield to maturity (YTM), which is the interest rate that equates the present value of the expected future cash flows from the bond (both the periodic coupon payments and the face value at maturity) with its current market price.
On January 1, the Elias Corporation issued 10% bonds with a face value of $116,000. The bonds are sold for $113,680. The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31 and the maturity date is December 31, ten years from now. Elias records straight-line amortization of the bond discount. The bond interest expense for the year ended December 31 of the first year is.a. $485 b. $2,910 c. $5,820 d. $6,111
Answer:
The total interest expense on the bond
= 10% x $116,000
=$11,600
Semi-annual interest expense
= $11,600/2
= $5,800
None of the options is correct.
Explanation:
In this case, there is need to calculate the total annual interest expense on the bond, which is 10% of the face value. Then, the total annual interest expense will be divided by 2 since the bond pays semi-annual interest.

Which method of analysis does not classify variables as dependent or independent?
A) regression analysis
B) discriminant analysis
C) cluster analysis
D) analysis of variance
Answer:
C) cluster analysis
Explanation:
Regression analysis. The regression analysis determines the relationship between the two variables. Thus, one of these quantities (X) is given in advance(dependent) and is not random. The second value (U) is the independent and random number. The randomness of the second quantity can be explained for two reasons. First: Measuring the random number U, which depends on the number X, is associated with certain errors; second: The value of U may depend on other uncontrollable factors, in addition to being dependent on the value of the corresponding X value. In this case, we need to talk about the distribution of the random variable U against each value of the X variable. The main purpose of the regression analysis is to build a mathematical model that takes into account the factors affecting the physical process using experimental data and evaluating its accuracy. The least squares method is used for statistical estimation of the mathematical model's suitability to experimental data.
Discriminant analysis is a method used in statistics, pattern recognition, and machine learning to find a linear combination of attributes that define or distinguish two or more classes or events. The resulting combination can be used as a linear classifier or more often to reduce the size before classifying. LDA is closely related to variance analysis (ANOVA) and regression analysis, which try to express a dependent variable as a linear combination of other properties or dimensions. However, while variance analysis uses qualitative independent variables and a continuous dependent variable, discriminant analysis has continuous independent variables and a qualitative dependent variable.
Cluster analysis or clustering is a problem of grouping a number of objects. In this problem, objects must be in some way more similar to those in other groups to accommodate the same clusters (clusters). One of the main problems with data transmission is a common technique used in statistical data analysis. It is also used in machine learning, pattern recognition, image analysis, data retrieval, bioinformatics, data compression and computer graphics.
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to calculate the significance of the difference between three and more independent means in a normally distributed series. ANOVA compares the arithmetic means of three or more groups alone; ANOVA result is also significant when at least one of these comparisons is significant. To measure the significance it will have the relation to the regression analysis that's why there will be dependent and independent variables as well.
Answer:
Cluster analysis does not require the use of dependent and independent variable.
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
Regression measures the relationship between two or more variables. It examines the relationship between dependent and independent variable.
Discriminant analysis is a technique used by researchers to measure the relationship between the dependent variable and one or more in dependent variables.
Cluster analysis is a technique that is used for exploratory research. It does not involve the use of dependent and independent variable.
Analysis of variance is used for measuring the influence that independent variable has on the dependent variable in regression analysis.
Even though the research and development team of Orbiton Computer Inc. came up with promising technological innovations, the innovations couldn't be commercialized because the employees on the floor lacked the skills to implement or execute them. Thus, Orbiton Computer's failure can be attributed to the lack of
A. internal capabilities. B. market responsiveness. C. organizational suitability. D. technological feasibility.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
An organizational suitability statement for employees points out the reasons why the organization think their experience and skills are suitable for the position they are applying for in the organisation.
A suitability statement, known as a personal statement, shows a summary of the key skills and experience you possess for a given job
Thus Orbiton Computer's failure can be attributed to the lack of organizational suitability meaning the employees are not suitable and dont have the required skills for this job. They need to find the adequate skills for the job.
