Answer:

Explanation:

The expected value is calculated by using the probability of each event. If the chance of dying is 0.60% then the chance living is 99.40%. The expect value formula is:

∑[(xi)*P(xi)] (for all i events).

In this problem we have two events: live or die. If the person dies the family receives $1,000,000 (X1=$1,000,000) and if the person lives the family receives $0 (X2=$0). The probability of receiving $1,000,000 is 60% (P(x1)=0.006) and the probability of receiving $0 is 99.40% (P(x2)=0.994)

Using the formula the expected value of the policy (without the insurance cost):

$1,000,000* (0.006)+ $0*(0,994)= $6,000

If we subtract the insurance value:

$6,000-$5,500= $500

Nastasia [14]

Answer: Jordan's recognized gain in the year of sale is $2500.

Given that,

Jordan inherited 10 shares of universal corp. stock upon her grandfather's death and have a fair market value of $5000

Jordan's grandfather purchase these shares in 1995 for $2500

After four months of her grandfather's death, Jordan sold all of the shares for $7500

Jordan's recognized gain in the year of sale = the value of sale - the fair market value at the time of her grandfather's death

= $7500 - $5000

= $2500

The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a
zepelin [54]

Answer:

a. $700,000

b. 6/7 or 85.7%

c. No they will not.

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.

Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs

= 1,000,000 - 400,000

= $600,000

Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income

= 100,000 + 600,000

= $700,000

b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.

Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.

Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = \frac{Economic rent}{Jacobs annual earning}

= \frac{600,000}{700,000}

= 6/7 or 85.7%

c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.
