Descriptive Statistics Darlen Mangano, Thamar Manuel, Geraldine Portuhondo, and Karen Rivas RES/341 April 16, 2012 Professor Gustavo A. Diaz Descriptive Statistics Analyzing studies in wage differentials between individuals with postsecondary education and those without show a strong case for education. The studies will indicate how skill strengths play a role in higher earnings. Research data from two studies will be used to calculate measures of central tendency, dispersion, and skew of data. In demonstrating descriptive statistical methods, data measured from the second study will be shown through a histogram and frequency distribution calculations in tabular and graphical outputs respectively. The information in these studies will
Based on IRC Section 25A(d)(3), MAGI is equal to AGI before taking into account deductible IRA contributions, student-loan-interest deduction, higher education costs, U.S. Savings Bond interest, and certain other items, which makes MAGI higher than AGI in most cases. Based on the information above, MAGI is subject to a lower dollar amount than AGI is when benefit begins to phase out even if MAGI is higher than AGI. If Mr. Wilson’s MAGI is over $120,000, he is better off checking if he can deduct the tuition and fees in the Adjusted Gross Income section of Form 1040. Because tuition and fees deduction has a higher phase-out hurdle than Lifetime Learning credit, Mr. Wilson could possibly benefit from it if his AGI is less than
These facts are best explained by: • Economies of scope • Diseconomies of scale • Diminishing marginal productivity • Economies of scale To download the complete answer check ECO 365 Week 1 knowledge check 3). Suppose that college tuition is higher this year than last and that more students are enrolled in college this year than last year. Based on this information, we can best conclude that: • despite the increase in price, quantity demanded rose due to some other factors changing. • the demand for a college education is positively sloped. • the law of demand is invalid.
| | | knowledge capital can be created through a system of government subsidies for education and research and development. | | | economic growth can only be sustained if capital depreciates rapidly. | 10 points Question 5 In a small European country, it is estimated that changing the level of capital from $8 million to $10 million will increase real GDP from $2 million to $3
The student’s decision saves $811,249 by the first quarter that is well over target. This reduces the working capital shortfall and enables EHC to increase patient volume. The next decision to make is to decide between two loan options. The student selects loan option two that has a six-month total interest payment of $53,873 over option one that has a six-month total interest for $56, 589. Option two is the choice because the $2,716 savings difference in total interest from option two outweighs the $1,043 in interest savings from option one.
A 6% increase in Electricity costs. 1. A 2.5% increase in material cost When the material costs increases, the affect will occur on the master budget. The 2.5 % increase on the material cost means we will be paying more; as a result the profit will be less, unless we increase the selling price, reduction of employees (redundancy), to cover the change. Here below are show the calculation of the change: Material cost is 50355.15 2.5% of 50355.15 = 50355.15x 2.5 = 1258.87 100 The new material cost is = 50355.15 + 1258.87 =
From this we know that a) Firm A has a higher profit margin than firm B b) Firm B has a higher profit margin than firm A c) Firm A and B have the same profit margin d) Firm A has a higher equity multiplier than firm B 16. If you deposit $15,000 per year for 9 years (each deposit is made at the beginning of each year) in an account that pays an annual interest rate of 8%, what will your account be worth at the end of 9 years? 17. You plan to accumulate $450,000 over a period of 12 years by making equal annual deposits in an account that pays an annual interest rate of 9% (assume all payments will occur at the beginning of each year). What amount must you deposit each year to reach your
Real buying power of money is calculated each year. If we look at buying power of minimum wage (at its highest) in 1968 in 2012 dollars it is 10.55$. Today minimum wage rate is 7.25 $. The buying power of todays minimum wage is incredibly below 1968 minimum wage. Does it mean that our produce is cheaper now or we need less food to survive?
It is estimated that the effects of staying in school for just one additional year can increase an individual’s income by about ten percent (Oreopoulos, 2007). People that drop out of school make significantly less money than someone who graduated from high school. Unfortunately, the population of students that are most likely to drop out of high school already come from low income environments. Dropping out of high school makes it very difficult for students to make their lives better in the future. According to Oreopoulos, states that have increased the compulsory attendance age have seen a decrease in dropout rates and an increase in post-secondary education attendance.
