zaharov [31]

Answer:

$35,300 (Credit)

Explanation:

Given that;

Allowance = 10% × $242,000 = $24,200

Amount written off of $34,200 would have made the balance in the allowance for doubtful debts

= $34,200 - $23,100

= $11,100 (Debit)

However, the balance in the account at the end of the year should amount to $24,200 hence the adjustment required

= $24,200 + $11,100

=$35,300 (Credit)

natima [27]

Answer:

Given these facts, which state would you expect the price of prostitution services to be higher? Why?

Since the risks associated to prostitution are higher in New Jersey, we could assume that the price for these services will be higher there. The supply curve of prostitution shift to the left, increasing the price and decreasing the quantity.

Which state would have the higher amount of services consumed (adjusted for population differences)? Why? What are the underlying economic issues of this market?

Since the price is higher in New Jersey, the quantity demanded will be lower. Also, the risks associated to consuming the service will shift the demand curve to the left, reducing the quantity.

A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X 5 demand for the magazine, with pmf Su

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the demand for the magazine, the pmf for X is given by:

X 1 2 3 4 5 6

P(X) 1/15 2/15 3/15 4/15 3/15 2/15

3 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*3 = $ 6

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$6 = -$2 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$6 = $2 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$6 = $6 , X=3 (demand 3)

For the values of X=4,5,6 the net revenue will be $6 since the number of magazines is 3

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-2) +\frac{2}{15} *(2) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) + \frac{4}{15}*(6) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) +\frac{2}{15}*(6) = \frac{74}{15}=4.93$

4 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*4 = $ 8

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$8 = -$4 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$8 = $0 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$8 = $4 , X=3 (demand 3)

$4*4-$8 = $8 , X=4 (demand 4)

For the values of X=5,6 the net revenue will be $8 since the number of magazines is 4

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-4) +\frac{2}{15} *(0) +\frac{3}{15}*(4) + \frac{4}{15}*(8) +\frac{3}{15}*(8) +\frac{2}{15}*(8) = \frac{80}{15}=5.33$

As as we can see we have a higher expected value for the case with 4 magazines.

The answer would be false. Since they are terrorists, they would likely scheme and plot in ways where they won’t get caught so it is likely that they will use devices in monitoring their surroundings in a way of helping them carry out their plans, devices they use may be electronic audio and video devices which could be seen in the statement above.
