Answer:

$21,000

Explanation:

initial investment $25,000

we need to determine the expected value of every possibility:

  • $15,000 loss ⇒ 20% x $10,000 = $2,000
  • $29,000 loss ⇒ 15% x $5,000 = $750
  • $40,000 gain ⇒ 5% x $65,000 = $3,250
  • break even ⇒ 60% x $25,000 = $15,000

total expected value = $21,000

suter [353]

Answer:

Ethics

Explanation:

Ethics also called moral philosophy involves how an individual systemises, defends and recommends the concept of right or wrong.

Summer is facing an ethical decision of either returning the bag or keeping it for herself. Her decision will be based on her definition of right or wrong.

If her moral philosophy is one that does not see theft as something that is wrong, she will decide to keep the bag. If on the other hand she sees keeping the bag that is not her own as wrong she will decide to return it.

All of the following are examples of financial stability except. a. being able to save for retirement. b. being able to pay bill
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

d. living paycheck to paycheck

Explanation:

Being financially stable means the ability to generate sufficient income to meet current and future expenditures. It means one can comfortably pay current bills, and have enough to meet for unexpected or emergency expenses.  A financially stable person can afford the basic need as well secondary needs such as education, investments, and vacations with ease.

From the list provided, examples of financial stability will include the ability to save for the future, meet current bills, and not living paycheck to paycheck. Living from paycheck to paycheck means a person spends all his or her earnings within the month. In most cases, their monthly budgets exceed income. The individual may have slightly enough or insufficient resources to last them until the next payday.

Television channel operating profits vary from as high as 45 to 55 percent at MTV and Nickelodeon down to 12 to 18 percent at NB
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

MTV and cable channels can have higher operating profits largely because they have lower costs and can reach very specific demographic groups quite easily. MTV and Nickleodeon are typically not paying high and uncertain prices for their shows. They air mainly reruns of proven shows or relatively low-cost reality shows. This means that they have more cost certainty.

In addition, they have very clear target audiences where the networks do not. MTV is clearly aimed at teens and young adults while Nickleodeon is a kids' channel. Advertisers are attracted to channels with such clear demographics.

As far as Porter's five forces go, the most likely reason for the higher cable profits would have to do with brand equity and the lower propensity among buyers to substitute.

These would mean that cable channels have a lower threat of new competition and a lower threat of substitute products. It is true that it is easy for a new cable channel to be created, but it is much harder for such a channel to get the name recognition and brand equity that MTV and Nickleodeon have.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the analysis shows whether the assemblies should process further or not is presented below:

Differential revenue  (38,000 units × ($51 - $44)) $266,000

Differential costs:  

Direct material (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)

Direct labor (38,000units × $2 per unit) ($76,000)

Variable overhead (38,000units × $1 per unit) ($38,000)

Fixed costs ($160,000  - $225,000) ($65,000)

Additional income (loss) from processing further $11,000

Since the amount comes in positive so it should be processed further
