Gina and Stewart are surf-fishing on the Atlantic coast, where both bluefish and pompano are
common catches. The mean length of a bluefish is 267 millimeters with a standard deviation of
39 mm. For pompano, the mean is 155 mm with a standard deviation of 28 mm.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that due to the greater z-score, Stewart caught the longer fish relative to the same specie.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

To find who caught the longer fish relative to the same specie, we need to find out who had the higher z-score.

Stewart caught a bluefish with a length of 322 mm, hence the parameters are as follows:

[tex]X = 322, \mu = 267, \sigma = 39[/tex]

The z-score is:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{322 - 267}{39}[/tex]

Z = 1.41

Gina caught a pompano with a length of 176 mm, hence the parameters are as follows:

[tex]X = 176, \mu = 155, \sigma = 28[/tex]

The z-score is:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{176 - 155}{28}[/tex]

Z = 0.75.

Hence Stewart caught the longer fish relative to the same specie.

Schweser Satellites Inc. produces satellite earth stations that sell for $115,000 each. The firm's fixed costs, F, are $3 million, 50 earth stations are produced and sold each year, profits total $600,000, and the firm's assets (all equity financed) are $4 million. The firm estimates that it can change its production process, adding $3 million to assets and $500,000 to fixed operating costs. This change will reduce variable costs per unit by $12,000 and increase output by 15 units. However, the sales price on all units must be lowered to $110,000 to permit sales of the additional output. The firm has tax loss carryforwards that render its tax rate zero, its cost of equity is 13%, and it uses no debt.

-Select-

Answers

The incremental profit is $175,000 and the new situation would obviously have less business risk than the old one.

Incremental profit

First step

Profit $600,000

Add Fixed cost $3,000,000

Contribution $3,600,000

Variable Cost=Total Sales−Contribution

Variable Cost=$115,000×50-$3,600,000

Variable Cost=$2,150,000

Second step

Profit at revised cost

Sales $8,625,000

(75x $115,000)

Less: Variable cost $4,350,000

[75×($3,000,000+$500,000/50-$12,000)]

Contribution $4,275,000

Less Fixed cost $3,500,000

($3,000,000+$500,000)

Profit $775,000

Incremental profit=Profit at revised cost-Existing profit

Incremental profit=$775,000-$600,000

Incremental profit=$175,000

Expected rate of return=Incremental profit/Investment

Expected rate of return=$175,000/$4,000,000×100

Expected rate of return=$4.375%

2. Break-even point

Existing

Break-even point=Fixed cost/Contribution

Break-even point=$3,000,000/[($115,000-($3,000,000+$500,000/50)]

Break-even point=$3,000,000/[($115,000-$70,000)

Break-even point= 66.67

Revised

Break-even point=Fixed cost/Contribution

Break-even point=$3,500,000/[($110,000-($3,000,000/50)]

Break-even point=$3,000,000/[($110,000-$60,000)

No issues with convergence here. If you actually expand the summand you can use the well-known Faulhaber formulas to compute the sum.

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n i = \frac{n(n+1)}2[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n i^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n i^3 = \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}4[/tex]

and so on. You would end up with

[tex]\displaystyle L_n = \frac2n \times \frac{96-8796n^2+40283n^3-49458n^4}{n^3}[/tex]

As [tex]n\to\infty[/tex], we have [tex]L_n\to-98916[/tex].

Now, when [tex]i=1[/tex], the first term of the sum is

so the left endpoint of the first subinterval is [tex]a=5[/tex].

At the other end, when [tex]i=n[/tex], the last term of the sum is

[tex]7\left(5+\dfrac{2(n-1)}n\right)^3 - 6\left(5+\dfrac{2(n-1)}n\right)^5[/tex]

which converges to

so the left endpoint of the last subinterval converges to [tex]b=5 + 2 = 7[/tex].
