TOPIC 8: WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
1. TRACING CASH AND NET WORKING CAPITAL
Current assets are cash and other assets that are expected to convert to cash within a year. They are presented on the balance sheet in order of their accounting liquidity. Four of the most important items in this section of the balance sheet are cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventories.Firms use several kinds of short-term debt called ​current liabilities,​ which are obligations that are expected to require cash payment within one year or within the operating period if it is longer than one year. Three major items as current liabilities are accounts payable, accrued wages, taxes and notes payable.

Statistics Problems and Solutions

Great! Let's continue with providing solutions to the questions:

Question 1: Empirical Rule Name

The Empirical Rule is also known as:

  • E. The 68–95–99.7 Rule

Question 2: Normal Distribution Interval (95%)

For a normally distributed data set with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 13, approximately 95% of the data lie within about two standard deviations of the mean.

  • Calculate: 70 ± 2 × 13 = 70 ± 26
  • Result: 44 and 96

Question 3: Mean and Median for the Set

For the set of numbers: 27, 83, 55, 61, 102, 17:

  • a) Mean — Add all the numbers together and divide by the count (6):
  • Sum = 27 + 83 + 55 + 61 + 102 + 17 = 345
  • Mean = 345 / 6 = 57.5
  • b) Median — Arrange in ascending order and take the middle value (or average

Missing Variable

x = given Median * 2 - ((1 of 2) median numbers if even): ascending order

Unreadable Score

(U * N of unreadable) - (U * N of readable)

Degrees of Freedom

Chebyshev's Theorem

K = Deviation

Calculate time % within K Dev of mean - (1 - 1/k^2) * 100 = %

Finding Values

Find x K devs from mean - (mean - K * given standard dev) = XLow...(mean + k * given standard dev) = XHigh

Finding % Within Times Xlow-Xhigh

K = (XHigh - Mean) / Given Standard dev....then do Chebyshev's - (1 - 1/k^2) * 100 = %

Z-Score Simplified

(Mean - Given Mean) / Given Standard Dev = ZScore

Finding Minimum Score Accepted

(Min devs) * (Given Devs) + (Mean) = Min Score

Probability and Statistics Practice Problems and Solutions

Classified in Mathematics

Written on in English with a size of 1.13 MB

Probability Fundamentals

  • Mutually Exclusive Events: If A and B are mutually exclusive, then P(A ∪ B) ≠ 0.
  • Independent Events: Events are independent if their probabilities match, such as P(A) = P(B) or P(A|B) = P(A).
  • Conditional Probability Example: Find P(driver is age 65+ | driver is female) = P(driver is female and 65+) / P(driver is female).
  • Key Formulas:
    • P(S ∩ Y) = P(S ∩ Y) / Total
    • P(S|Y) = P(S ∩ Y) / P(Y)
    • P(Y ∪ S) = P(Y) + P(S) - P(Y ∩ S)

Probability Distributions

Expected Value Calculation

The payoff (X) for a lottery game has the following probability distribution. What is the expected value of X? (Hint: Find the value of 'a' first.)

Given values: 2 (0.4), 5 (0.3), 7 (0.2), 10 (a).
Calculation: 1 - (0.4 + 0.3 + 0.2) = 0.1, so a =... Continue reading "Probability and Statistics Practice Problems and Solutions" »

Understanding Corporate Bond Structures and Classifications

Written on in English with a size of 3.28 KB

Repayment: Long-term debt is typically repaid in regular amounts over the life of the debt. The payment of long-term debt by installments is called ​amortization(usually arranged by a sinking fund. Each year the corporation places money into a sinking fund, and the money is used to buy back the bonds).
Seniority: indicates preference in position over other lenders. Some debt is​subordinated.​In the event of default, holders of subordinated debt must give preference other specified creditors who are paid first.
Security​: it’s a form of attachment to property. It provides that the property can be sold in event of default to satisfy the debt for which the security is given. A mortgage is used for security in tangible property. Debentures

Understanding Simple Random Sampling in Statistics

Classified in Mathematics

Written on in English with a size of 652 bytes

Simple Random Sample

A sample designed in such a way as to ensure that (1) every member of a population has an equal chance of being included in the sample, and (2) every sample of size n has the same chance of occurring.

Selecting Elements

Subjects are selected at fixed sampling intervals by selecting every kth element thereafter. The interval between selections is determined by the ratio of the population size to the sample size (N/n). For example, if the population size is N=1,000 and a sample size of n=100 is desired, then the sampling interval is 1,000/100 = 10, so every 10th person is selected into the sample.

1. f : A → R means that the codomain of f is A and its domain is R.

FALSE: Domain is A; codomain is R

2. Points of form (x, f(x)), x ∈ A, belong to the graph of function f : B → A, where A ̸= B are non-empty subsets of R.

3. A function f defined on R is called strictly increasing if f(x1) > f(x2) holds, whenever x1> x2.

FALSE: A function, is strictly increasing if f(x0) < f(x1) whenever x0 < x1.

4. The derivative fʹ(a) of f at a is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at (a,f(a)).

TRUE: y = f (x) at a point x = c on the curve if the line passes through the point (c, f (c)) on the curve and has slope f '(c) where f ' is the derivative of f.
