Answer:
15250 T62.5%5 hExplanation:
a) The amount of tomatoes that arrive in the 5 hours between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m each day is ...
(75 T/h)(5 h) = 375 T
Processing at the rate of 25 T/h takes ...
(375 T)/(25 T/h) = 15 h
The processing unit must operate 15 hours per day to process the arriving tomatoes.
__
b) The arriving tomatoes are processed at the rate of 25 T/h, so the net addition to inventory from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. is 75 -25 = 50 T/h. Over those 5 hours, an inventory accumulates in the amount of ...
(50 T/h)(5 h) = 250 T
The maximum inventory of raw tomatoes is 250 tons.
__
c) The processing unit operates 15 hours of each 24-hour day, so is operating at 15/24 = 5/8 = 62.5% of capacity.
The capacity utilization of the processing unit is 62.5%.
__
d) Inventory both increases and decreases linearly, so the average inventory is half the peak inventory. Average inventory is 250/2 = 125 tons. This is processed at the rate of 25 T/h, so the amount of time the average tomato spends in inventory is ...
(125 T)/(25 T/h) = 5 h
The average tomato stays in the queue 5 hours.
Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $1,900 of direct materials and used $3,400 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of September, but needed an additional $2,400 of direct materials in October and additional direct labor of $5,900 to finish the job. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 150% of the direct labor cost. What is the amount of job costs added to Work in Process Inventory during October
Answer:
The amount of job costs added to Work in Process Inventory during October is $26,950
Explanation:
Computation of manufacturing overheads is given below:
Manufacturing Overheads=Direct Labor × 200%
=($3,400 + $5,500) × 150%
=$8,900 × 150%
=$13,350
Job Cost = Direct Materials+ Direct Labor+ Overheads Cost
=($1,900+$2,400) + ($3,400+$5,900) + $13,350
=$4,300 + $9,300 + $13,350
=$26,950
Explain how strong enforcement of carefully designed patent laws affects the growth rate of an economy. (5 points) Explain how tax incentives can be used to promote faster economic growth. (5 points) Explain the "infant industry argument" and its relationship to a country’s growth rate. (5 points) Explain what incentives can be used to increase the savings rate in an economy (as another way to promote faster economic growth). (5 points)
Answer:
1.In simple words, strong enforced patent laws will work as a motivation to innovation and innovation always results in better outcomes for thee economy as the output in the economy could be increased dramatically through technology advances.
2. By simply decreasing the tax rates on income from middle class households, Government can increase the demand of goods due to higher income in hand which further results in growth of economy.
3. Such argument states the new industries must be protected from foreign competitors until they are stable on their own. This is completely true as new industrious lead to better employment opportunities which further leads to economic growth.
4. For first tax rates can be decreased for more income in hand and also interest rates on savings could be increased.
Prior to September 30, a company has never had any treasury stock transactions. A company repurchased 1,000 shares of its $2 par common stock on September 30 for $20 per share. On October 2, it reissued 400 of these shares at $21 per share. On October 12, it reissued the remaining 600 shares at $19 per share. The journal entry to record the reissuance of the shares on October 2 would be:
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
The following will be the journal entry on October 2nd
October 2
DR Cash $8,400
CR Treasury Stock $8,000
CR Additional Paid-in Capital $400
(To record reissuance of Treasury Stock)
Workings
Cash = 400 * 21
= $8,400
Treasury Stock = 400 * 20 (purchase price)
= $8,000
Additional Paid-in Capital = (21 - 20) * 400
= $400
Kevin, Rajiv, and Yakov are hunters who live next to a recreational wildlife game area that is open to hunting; in other words, anyone is free to use the recreational wildlife game area for hunting. Assume that these men are the only three hunters who hunt in this recreational wildlife game area and that the recreational wildlife game area is large enough for all three hunters to hunt intensively at the same time.
Each year, the hunters choose independently how often to hunt; specifically, they choose whether to hunt intensively (that is, to set several traps and hunt long hours, which hurts the sustainability of the recreational wildlife game area if enough people do it) or to hunt nonintensively (which does not hurt the sustainability of the recreational wildlife game area). None of them has the ability to control how much the others hunt, and each hunter cares only about his own profitability and not the state of the recreational wildlife game area.
Assume that as long as no more than one hunter hunts intensively, there are enough animals to restock the recreational wildlife game area. However, if two or more hunt intensively, the recreational wildlife game area will become useless in the future. Of course, hunting intensively earns a hunter more money and greater profit because he can sell more animals.
The recreational wildlife game area is an example of _____________ because the animals in the recreational wildlife game area are ________ and ___________.
Answer: Common resource ,
Non excludable and Rival in consumption
Explanation:
Common resource is defined as the resource that is usually available to people in open form and people tend to overuse it.This creates shortage of resource and brings scarcity.They are considered rival in nature.Any good is considered rival if consumption of good by one person reduces consumption of that good for another person. It is regarded as subtractable.Non-excludable good is defined as the good that does not stop other people or group of people to consume or use it.There is no certain restriction of using particular good.According to the questions scenario, recreational wildlife game area is common resource because Yakov, Rajiv and Kevin are using that area for hunting openly .Other hunters can also use the area for hunting as it is available commonly for everyone as per their needs.
Animal of wildlife game area can be considered rival and non-excludable in consumption because they are openly available for hunter and there is no restriction on their usage (hunting) particularly.Thus, if a hunter hunts more number of animals using intensive hunting mechanism, it will reduce number of animals for other hunters .
Why do more than half of enterprise application projects exceed budgets, deliver less than expected benefits, or experience overruns?
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
1. Underfinancing: One main reason that cause budget overrun and less than expected benefits is underfinancing. Allocation of an adequate amount of budget to project at the beginning will lead to a budget overrun or failure.
2. Unfeasible Cost Estimates: Estimation of cost is a vital process in a project and another common reason for budget overrun. When the cost is calculated by inexperienced or unqualified personnel, the project is going to face budget overruns.
3. Underestimating the Project Complexity: Big projects are usually at the risk of overrunning its budget as a result of bigger complications that may arise during its execution.
4. Lack of Resource Planning: When one fails to plan the resources that are available effectively, then this would lead to a budget overrun and less benefits. A common mistakes that cause overrun is failure to estimate the resources which would be utilized during the project.
Northfield Casino is considering converting the Polsky Building at University of Akron into a state-of-the-art gaming parlor. This expansion project will require an initial outlay of $75,000,000 with a project life of five years. Cash flows from operating the new parlor are expected to be $25,000,000 every year for the next five years. The parlor will be sold for $50,000,000 at the end of five years. The project's required rate of return, or discount rate is 18%. Based on this information: The project's payback period is:______.
a. 2.25 Years.
b. 2.5 Years.
c. 2.75 Years.
d. 3 Years.
e. 3.2 Years.
Answer:
d. 3 Years.
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
Payback period = amount invested / cash flow
$75,000,000 / $25,000,000 = 3 years

The Talbot Corporation makes wheels that it uses in the production of bicycles. Talbot's costs to produce 100,000 wheels annually are: Direct materials $30,000 Direct labor $50,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $20,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead $70,000 An outside supplier has offered to sell Talbot similar wheels for $1.25 per wheel. If the wheels are purchased from the outside supplier, $15,000 of annual fixed overhead could be avoided and the facilities now being used could be rented to another company for $45,000 per year. Direct labor is a variable cost. If Talbot chooses to buy the wheel from the outside supplier, then annual net operatingincome would: A. Increase by $35,000 B. Decrease by $10,000 C. Increase by $45,000 D. Increase by $70,000
Answer:
Increase in net annual operating income $35,000
Explanation:
$
Variable cost of internal production
(30,000+50,000 + 20,000) 100,000
Variable cost of purchase (1.25× 100,000) 125,000
Extra variable cost of buying ( 25,000)
Add savings in fixed cost from 15,000
Add rent from facilities 45,000
Increase in net annual operating income 35,000
Increase in net annual operating income $35,000
The balance of the the fixed cost is not relevant hence it was not considered. This is so because whatever decision is taken, it would be incurred either way
Which statement is false? Marginal cost and marginal productivity are inversely related. Marginal cost is the change in a firm's total cost due to a one unit change in output. Costs that are small and unimportant with little impact on profits are called marginal costs. A marginal cost curve will always intersect the average total cost curve at the minimum average total cost. Consider the table. Output 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Total cost 100 110 115 125 140 160 190 230 280 340 420 What is the marginal cost of the fifth unit based on the table? $0 −$20 $20 $160
Answer:
Option (c) Marginal cost of fifth unit = $20
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
1)
Option (b) : Marginal cost is the change in the total cost of firm due to one unit change in output.
We can calculate the marginal cost by using following formula :
Marginal cost = Total cost ÷ Quantity
2)
Marginal cost of fifth unit = Total cost at unit 5 - total cost at unit 4
= $160 - $140
= $20
Fultz Company has accumulated the following budget data for the year 2020.
1. Sales: 31,410 units, unit selling price $85.
2. Cost of one unit of finished goods: direct materials 1 pound at $6 per pound, direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour, and manufacturing overhead $7 per direct labor hour.
3. Inventories (raw materials only): beginning, 10,120 pounds; ending, 15,480 pounds.
4. Selling and administrative expenses: $170,000; interest expense: $30,000.
5. Income taxes: 30% of income before income taxes.
Prepare a schedule showing the computation of cost of goods sold for 2020.
Answer:
COST OF Goods SOLD $ 1,1539,110
Explanation:
Fultz Company
Schedule of Cost of Goods Sold for 2020
As there are no beginning and ending finished goods inventories the total units produced are sold. (Finished Goods required 31410 Units)
Inventories raw materials : beginning, 10,120 pounds
Add Direct Materials Purchases 36770 pounds
Less Inventories ending raw materials , 15,480 pounds
Direct Materials Used 31410 pounds
Materials 1 pound at $6 per pound= $ 6* 31410 Units= $ 188460
Direct labor 3 hours at $12 per hour= $ 36* 31410 Units= $ 1130780
Manufacturing Overhead $7 per direct labor hour= $ 7* 31410 Units=
$ 219870
Total Manufacturing Costs $ 1,1539,110
There are no beginning and ending work in process inventories so the total manufacturing cost gives us the COST OF Goods SOLD.
Andrews Corporation has income from operations of $253,000. In addition, it received interest income of $25,300 and received dividend income of $28,900 from another corporation. Finally, it paid $13,000 of interest income to its bondholders and paid $47,400 of dividends to its common stockholders. Using the 2013 corporate tax schedule, what is the firm’s federal income tax? Round your intermediated and final answers to the nearest cent. $
Answer:
$107,122
Explanation:
corporate tax rate during 2013 = 39.1%
Andrews Corporation net taxable income:
from operations $253,000from interests $25,300from dividends $28,900 - dividends received deductions $20,230 = $8,670Deductions on net taxable income*:
interest paid to bondholders = $13,000Net taxable income = $286,970 - $13,000 = $273,970
federal income tax = $273,970 x 39.1% = $107,122
*Dividends are paid with retained earnings which include after tax net income. They are not tax deductible.
Which of the following would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right? a. both an increase in the capital stock and an increase in the price level b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level c. an increase in the money supply, but not an increase in the capital stock d. neither an increase in the money supply nor an increase in the capital stock
Answer:
b. an increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level.
Explanation:
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy movement from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
An increase in the capital stock, but not an increase in the price level would shift the long-run aggregate supply curve right.
The long-run aggregate supply curve would shift rightward when immigration from foreign countries rises or technology improves.
When the price level rises, the wealth effect and the interest-rate effect provide incentives for consumers to spend less. The price level of goods and services in an economy influences the exchange rate, imports and exports
A bakery buys sugar from a big distributor to use in baking cakes. Typically, they use 3663 bags of sugar in a year. The price of sugar is typically $14 per bag. The cost to the bakery for placing an order is $26, and the annual carrying cost is $17 per bag. The distributor has offered the bakery the following volume discount schedule: Order Size Discount rate on the original price 1--449 0 percent 450--799 5 percent more than 800 10 percent We are trying to find how many bags of sugar should the store order, whenever they place a new order of sugar.Assume 364 days a year and 52 weeks a year. IMPORTANT: Note, the discounts off of original price are reported. You need to calculate the actual prices. Keep two decimal places in your calculations.If we ignore the discounts, how many bags of sugar should we order
Oldham Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $4.00 per machine-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $87,822 per period. If the denominator level of activity is 4,100 machine-hours, what would be the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate
Answer:
$21.42
Explanation:
The computation of fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-
Fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate = Fixed Overhead ÷ Machine Hours
= $87,822 ÷ 4,100
= $21.42
Therefore for computing the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the fixed overhead by machine hours.
And all the other information i.e given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
Which of the following scenarios are potential candidates for the Chi-square test? Check all that apply. Group of answer choices Is there a relationship between gender and pet ownership? Is there a relationship between martial status (single, married, divorced, widowed) and political party affiliation (Democrat, Independent, Republican)? Is there a relationship between amount of credit card debt and employment status (unemployed, employed part-time, employed full-time)?
Answer:
A. Is there a relationship between gender and pet ownership?
B. Is there a relationship between marital status (single, married, divorced, widowed) and political party affiliation (Democrat, Independent, Republican)?
Explanation:
The chi squared test is a test in statistics used to establish the relationship between categorical variables. It seeks to compare the observed results in an experiment to the expected results. The test assumes that the variables being compared are independent of each other.
Categorical variables are descriptive and qualitative in nature. Numerical variables, on the other hand, deal with numbers. The amount of credit card debt is a numerical value, and therefore, does not qualify as a chi squared variable.
A financier plans to invest up to $500,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment of x dollars, whereas Project B yields a return of 17% on the investment of y dollars. Because the investment in Project B is riskier than the investment in Project A, she has decided that the investment in Project B should not exceed 40% of the total investment. How much should the financier invest in each project in order to maximize the return on her investment
Answer:
She should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.
Explanation:
Solution
Since Project B yields a higher return, she should invest as much money as possible in it, which is 40% of the total investment or
or (0.40)($500,000) = $200,000
so
The remaining $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000 should be invested in Project A.
Therefore, she should invest $300,000 in Project A, and $200,000 in Project B.

Harvard Company is selling a piece of equipment on June 30, 2019. Information related to this sale is as follows: Cost of equipment .................................................... $400,000 Accumulated Depreciation as of June 30, 2019........... 150,000 Proceeds from sale........................................................... 350,000
Based on the above information, the journal entry to record the sale will include:
Answer:
June 30, 2019 Accumulated depreciation 150000 Dr
Cash 350000 Dr
Equipment 400000 Cr
Gain on disposal 100000 Cr
Explanation:
The equipment is being sold by the business. So, we will write off this from the account by crediting the equipment account by the amount of the cost of the equipment. The related depreciation expense will also be written off from the books by debiting the account by the amount of depreciation on this equipment.
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we fill first calculate the Net book value of the equipment.
NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
NBV = 400000 - 150000 = $250000
The equipment is sold for 350000 thus there is a gain on disposal of,
Gain on disposal = 350000 - 250000 = $100000
During the month of June, Whispering Boutique recorded cash sales of $302,810 and credit sales of $130,219, both of which include the 7% sales tax that must be remitted to the state by July 15. Prepare the adjusting entry that should be recorded to fairly present the June 30 financial statements.
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
1. Sales revenue Dr, $28,656 ($121,700 + $287,673) × 7%
To Sales tax payable $28,656
(Being sales tax payable is recorded)
Here we debited the sales revenue as it decreased the revenue while we credited the sales tax payable as it increased the liabilities so that the proper posting could be done
Working note
Credit sales = $130,219 × 100 ÷ 107
= $121,700
Cash sales = $302,810 × 100 ÷ 107
= $287,673
A factory machine was purchased for $70,000 on January 1. It was estimated that it would have a $14,000 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 five years. If the actual number of machine hours ran in the first year was 4,000 hours and the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for year 1 would be
Answer:
$5600
Explanation:
The amount of depreciation expense for year 1
depreciation under the first year under units of activity method
[ (cost - salvage value) / estimated machine hours ] * actual machine hours worked in the first year
= [(70000 - 14000) / 40000 ] * 4000
= 56000 / 40000 ) * 4000
= 1.4 * 4000 = $5600 ( amount of depreciation expense for year 1 )

The cost to a business from frequently changing its prices due to high inflation rates is called ▼ opportunity cost seigniorage menu cost . Suppose the government prints and spends new currency. Which of the following statements are true in this case? (Check all that apply). A. The citizens gain because their government has more money to spend. B. Printing/spending an enormous amount of new currency is socially beneficial. C. The citizens lose because the resulting inflation reduces the real value of the currency that they already hold. D. Printing/spending a modest amount of new currency is socially beneficial. Click to select your answer(s).
Answer:
Option a and b
Option C
Explanation:
A . In simple words, price control refers to the limits on the rates that can be paid for good and services produced in a marketplace that are set up and imposed by central govt.
The purpose behind these restrictions may derive from the need to preserve the availability of products even through skills shortages, and to further delay inflation, or, instead, to help ensure a guaranteed minimum income as well for manufacturers of such products or to seek to obtain a decent living wage.
B. In simple words, due to printing of new currency the supply of money ion the market would increase which will lead to inflation in the economy which will further lead to loss in value of the existing money in hand on the individuals.

According to the given data, the carpet is estimated to have a 15-year useful life and no residual value, therefore the December 31 adjusting entry for the partial-year depreciation expense for the carpet would be to debit Depreciation expense - carpet for $800 and to credit Accumulated depreciation- carpet for $800.
The journal entry would be as follows:
December 31 Debit Credit
Depreciation expense - carpet $800
Accumulated depreciation- carpet $800
Balser Corporation manufactures and sells a number of products, including a product called JYMP. Results for last year for the manufacture and sale of JYMPs are as follows: Sales $ 960,000 Less expenses: Variable production costs $ 464,000 Sales commissions 144,000 Salary of product manager 100,000 Fixed product advertising 160,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 132,000 1,000,000 Net operating loss $ (40,000 ) Balser is trying to decide whether to discontinue the manufacture and sale of JYMPs. All expenses other than fixed manufacturing overhead are avoidable if the product is dropped. None of the fixed manufacturing overhead is avoidable. Assume that dropping Product JYMP would result in a $90,000 increase in the contribution margin of other products. If Balser chooses to discontinue JYMP, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) of eliminating this product should be:
Answer:
$2,000 disadvantage
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage or disadvantage of eliminating the product is shown below:
Sales $960,000
Less Variable production costs ($464,000)
Less Sales commission ($144,000)
Less salary of product manager ($100,000)
Less fixed product advertising ($160,000.00)
Less contribution margin from other products ($90,000)
Income from JYMP 2,000.00
This is the financial disadvantage for eliminating the product of $2,000 so the company should continue to manufactured the JYMP
And the fixed cost is not considered here as it is not relevant because it has fixed in nature does not have create any impact whether company should manufactured the product or not

The cat food can be sold as it is for $9.15 per bag or be processed further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe at an additional $2,100 cost. The additional processing will yield 10,000 bags of Premium Green and 3,100 bags of Green Deluxe, which can be sold for $8.15 and $6.15 per bag, respectively. If Green Health is processed further into Premium Green and Green Deluxe, the total gross profit would be:
Answer:
Total gross profit =$ 50,565
Explanation:
Gross profit is the sales revenue less the cost of the goods sold. The cost of goods sold would include the variable cost of production, fixed cost and the further processing cost
$
Sales revenue (10,000×$8.15) + ( 3100 ×$6.15) = 100,565
Further processing cost (21,000)
Variable cost ( 10,000 ×$1.90) (19,000)
Fixed cost (10,000)
Gross profit 50,565
Carl invested $100,000 in a fund, which earned 8% over the next year. At the end of the year, he invested an additional $50,000 and the fund earned 18% over the next year. Carl withdrew no money from the fund. Which of the following statements about time-weighted return (TWR) and money-weighted return (MWR) is most accurate? Group of answer choices TWR is greater than MWR, and MWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl. MWR is greater than TWR, and MWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl. TWR is greater than MWR, and TWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl. MWR is greater than TWR, and TWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl.
Answer:
(d)MWR is greater than TWR, and TWR is the more appropriate measure for Carl
Explanation
since he is investing in between the year and he is earning 18% return which is higher than the 8% return on his early initial investment so time weighted return would be lower than that of the money weighted return because he is making money on the initial investment at interest that is lower than the interest rate which has been made by him in the middle of the investment period.
money weighted return is not as appropriate as time weighted written because time weighted return always takes into account the proper withdrawals and amount invested in between.
Which of the following is a true statement?
a. Meals, lodging, and incidental expenditures are deductible if the taxpayer is away from home overnight while traveling.
b. Meals are deductible for an employee who is forced to work during the lunch hour.
c. When a taxpayer travels solely for business purposes, only half of the costs of travel are deductible.
d. If travel has both business and personal aspects, the cost of transportation is always deductible but the deductibility of lodging depends upon whether business is conducted that day.
e. None of the choices are true because business travel is not deductible.
Peng Company is considering an investment expected to generate an average net income after taxes of $2,600 for three years. The investment costs $54,000 and has an estimated $7,200 salvage value. Assume Peng requires a 10% return on its investments. Compute the net present value of this investment. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
Answer:
NPV = $-42,124.72
Explanation:
The new present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 = $-54,000
Cash flow each year in year 1 and 2 = $2,600
Cash flow in year 3 = $2,600 + $7,200 = $9,800
I = 10%
NPV = $-42,124.72
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute

Stephanie wants to save for her daughter's education. Tuition costs $12,000 per year in today's dollars. Her daughter was born today and will go to school starting at age 18. She will go to school for 5 years. Stephanie can earn 12% on her investments and tuition inflation is 6%. How much must Stephanie save at the end of each year if she wants to make her last savings payment at the beginning of her daughter's first year of college
Answer:
Annual deposit= $3,463.37
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Tuition costs $12,000 per year in today's dollars.
Number of years= 18
She will go to school for 5 years.
Stephanie can earn 12% on her investments and tuition inflation is 6%.
First, we need to calculate the cost of each year and the total cost.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Year 1= 12,000*1.06^18= 34,252.07
Year 2= 34,252.07*1.06= 36,307.12
Year 3= 38,485.55
Year 4= 40,794.68
Year 5= 43,242.36
Total= 193,081.78
Now, we can determine the annual deposit required:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (193,081.78*0.12) / [1.12^18)-1]
A= 3,463.37
Identify the research question that involves an inference about a difference between two population means.
1. Is the average amount of financial aid received in a year by community college students greater than $2,600?
2. Do female community college students prefer to work on group projects more than male students?
3. Do community college students prefer computer-based homework or pencil-and-paper homework in math classes?
4. Do community college students receive less in financial aid than students attending public universities?
Answer:
The Question statement that best describes an inference about a difference between two population means is statement 4 - Do community college students receive less in financial aid than students attending public universities?
Explanation:
The research question that involves an inference about a difference between two population means is expressed in the fourth question statement, which is - Do community college students receive less in financial aid than students attending public universities?
