. An automobile company is ready to introduce a new line of hybrid cars through a national sales campaign. After test marketing the line in a carefully selected city, the marketing research department estimates that sales (in millions of Ghana Cedis) will increase at the monthly rate of S'(t) = 20t − 15e−0.15t 0 ≤ t ≤ 36 t months after the campaign has started. (a) What will be the total sales S(t) in t months after the beginning of the national campaign if we assume no sales at the beginning of the campaign? (b) What are the estimated total sales for the first 12 months of the campaign? (c) When will the estimated total sales reach 100 million Cedis?

An instructor would like to know about the difference in test averages between the first and second exams of the school year. To that end, we sample 100 of each test and find Test 1 has sample average 85 and Test 2 has sample average 79. From past experience we know Test 1 grades have a standard deviation of 3 and Test 2 grades have a standard deviation for 4.If μ1 is the population mean for Test 1 and μ2 is the population mean for Test 2, find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval for the true difference μ1-μ2. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The introductory biology class at a large university is taught to hundreds of students each semester. For planning purposes, the instructor wants to find out the average amount of time that students would use to take the first quiz if they could have as long as necessary to take it. She takes a random sample of 100 students from this population and finds that their average time for taking the quiz is 20 minutes, and the standard deviation is 10 minutes.

a). Compute the standard error of the mean (SEM) for the average time to take this quiz in a minute.

b). the lower limit of 95% confidence interval for the average time to take this quiz is?

c). the upper limit of 95% confidence interval for the average time to take this quiz is?

Sales on account for the first two months of the current year are budgeted as follows.

All sales are made on terms of 2/10, n/30 (2 percent discount if paid in 10 days, full amount by 30 days); collections on accounts receivable are typically made as follows.

Compute the estimated cash collections on accounts receivable for the month of February.

Which of the following statements below are TRUE regarding why an LBO works conceptually?

a. By using debt, the PE firm reduces up-front cash required, thereby boosting returns

b. Using cash flows produced by the company to pay down debt and make interest payments produces a better return for the PE firm than simply keeping the cash flows

c. Since the PE firm sells the entire company in the future, it's guaranteed to at least get back 100% of its original capital

d. The PE firm sells the company in the future, which allows it to get back (at least some of) the funds that it used to acquire the company in the first place.
