Performance, polygraph, or drug tests are?

I am not entirely sure what a performance test is, but I can help with the others. A polygraph is a machine, used usually if you are in legal trouble, to see if you are lying.  While results aren't 100% accurate, you typically can get a gage for if someone committed a crime.  They are also rarely used for interviews, some companies want to see if people are lying on their resumes.  Drug tests are tests that are given to most people with a job, and especially sports players.  Companies especially like to test people for drugs, to see if they might be on an illegal drug that could cause them to work less efficiently.  It also is a liability issue for the company if an employee is on an illegal drug.  Drug tests are typically done at a lab, and you usually have to pee in a cup and have it get tested.

What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont
Nadusha1986 [10]

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

<u>Explanation:</u>

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}

P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700}  + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

The outstanding capital stock of Flint Corporation consists of 1,900 shares of $100 par value, 5% preferred, and 5,200 shares of
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

(a) Preferred dividend = $9,500; and Common dividend = $73,500.

(b) Preferred dividend = $28,500; and Common dividend = $54,500.

(c) Total preferred dividend = $46,022; andTotal common dividend = $36,978

Explanation:

(a) The preferred stock is noncumulative and nonparticipating. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $38,487.)

This implies preferred shareholders are entitled only to this year's dividend. Therefore, we have:

Preferred dividend = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% = $9,500

Common dividend = Retained earnings - Preferred dividend = $83,000 - $9,500 = $73,500

(b) The preferred stock is cumulative and nonparticipating. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $38,487.)

This implies preferred shareholders are entitled to the previous 2 years and this year's dividends making 3 years. Therefore, we have:

Preferred dividend = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Preferred dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% * 3 = $28,500

Common dividend = Retained earnings - Preferred dividend = $83,000 - $28,500 = $54,500

(c) The preferred stock is cumulative and participating. (Round the rate of participation to 4 decimal places, e.g.1.4278%. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. $38,487.)

First-Preferred dividend for 2 years = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% * 2 = $19,000

Second-Preferred dividend for this year = Number of preferred shares * Preferred share par value * Dividend percentage = 1,900 * $100 * 5% = $9,500

Third-Common dividend = Number of common shares * Common share per value * Preferred dividend percentage = 5,200 * $50 * 5% = $13,000

Remaining payout = Retained earnings - First-Preferred dividend for 2 years - Second-Preferred dividend for this year - Third-Common dividend = $83,000 - $19,000 - $9,500 - $13,000 = $41,500

Fourth participating payout as preferred dividend = Remaining payout * (Value of preferred shares / (Value of preferred share + Value of preferred share common shares)) = $41,500 * ((1,900 * $100) / ((1,900 * $100) + (5,200 * $50))) = $17,522

Fifth participating payout as common dividend = Remaining payout * (Value of common shares / (Value of preferred share + Value of preferred share common shares)) = $41,500 * ((5,200 * $50) / ((1,900 * $100) + (5,200 * $50))) = $23,978

Total preferred dividend = First-Preferred dividend for 2 years + Second-Preferred dividend for this year + Fourth participating payout as preferred dividend = $19,000 + $9,500 + $17,522 = $46,022

Total common dividend = Third-Common dividend + Fifth participating payout as common dividend = $13,000 + $23,978 = $36,978

In 2017, Oriole Corporation reported net income of $1,004,700. It declared and paid preferred stock dividends of $278,600. Durin
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$3.62

Explanation:

The dividend distributed to common share = total net income - dividend for preferred stock

=  $1,004,700 -  $278,600

=  $726,100

Earnings per share (EPS) = The dividend distributed to common share / common shares outstanding

= $726,100/ 200700

= $3.62

During the month of September, direct labor cost totaled $11,000 and direct labor cost was 40% of prime cost. If total manufactu
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: Manufacturing overhead= $45500

Explanation:

Giving the following information, we need to calculate the amount of manufacturing head.

Direct labor= $11000

Direct labor is 40% of prime costs

Total manufactured cost is= $73000

First, we need to calculate the direct material:

Prime cost= direct material + direct labor

If direct labor is 40% of prime costs, then:

Direct material=(11000*60/40=16500

Now, the manufactured cost formula is:

Manufactured cost= direct material + direct labor  + manufacturing overhead

By rearranging the formula:

<u>Manufacturing overhead= Manufactured costs - direct material - direct labor= 73000- 16500-11000=$45500</u>

Suppose there are 70 million people in the labor force, out of which 60 million are employed, then the unemployment rate is?
ZanzabumX [31]

Suppose there are 70 million people in the labor force, out of which 60 million are employed, then the unemployment rate is: 14.28%.

An unemployed person is someone who does not have a job but is actively looking for one. Employed or Not Employed? You are employed part-time. If you work as a student, the university cafeteria is employed.

Labor force participation rate = (labor force/working age population) x 100 where labor force = employment + unemployment. To solve this problem, we need to know the number of people employed, the number of job seekers, and the working age population.
