Answer: B. to prove Stew-topia engaged in predatory pricing, you would need to prove that Stewtopia priced stew below average variable cost with the specific intention of driving 2 Live Stew out of business

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

option (B) 0.012634

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Expected return         Probability

         16.5%                     80%

        -11.6%                      20%

Now,

Mean return = ∑( Probability × Expected return )

= ( 0.8 × 16.5% ) + ( 0.2 × (-11.6%) )

= 13.2% - 2.32%

= 10.88%

Thus,

Variance = ∑(Probability × [ Expected return - Mean return ]² )

=  0.8 × ( 16.5% - 10.88% )² + 0.2 × ( -11.6% - 10.88% )²

= 0.8 × ( 5.62% )² + 0.2 × (-22.48%)²

= 0.8 × 0.0562² + 0.2 × 0.2248²

= 0.002526752 + 0.010107008

= 0.01263376 ≈ 0.012634

Hence,

The correct answer is option (B) 0.012634

eduard

Answer:

Unfavorable (increases taxable income).

Explanation:

$200,000-$50,000=$150,000Unfavorable (increases taxable income)

Book income would be $150,000 less than taxable income because the company increased its reserve for warranties by $200,000 and then went ahead to deduct $50,000 on its tax return related to warranty payments made during the year which is why the impact on taxable income compared to pretax book income of the book-tax difference that results from these two events will be $150,000 Unfavorable (increases taxable income).
