Answer:

Expected value of X = -11.09

Explanation:

Expected profit:

= Probability of winning × Amount she wins

= 0.03 × $180  

= 5.4

Expected loss:

= Probability of loosing × Amount she paid

= 0.97 × $17

= 16.49

Let X be amount of money Mary wins or loses.

E(X) = Expected profit - Expected loss

= 5.4 - 16.49

= -11.09

Expected value of X = -11.09

That is expected value of loss of $11.09

If the government changed the per-unit tax from $5.00 to $2.50, then the price paid by buyers would be $7.50, the price received
Nataly [62]

Answer: Decrease government revenue and decrease deadweight loss from the tax.

Explanation:

Decrease gov rev and decrease deadweight loss from the tax.

At AB, the government revenue will be:

= Quantity × Tax rate

= 1 × 5

= 5

The deadweight loss will be:

Deadweight Loss= 0.5 × Change in quantity × Change in Price

= 0.5 × (9-4) × (2-1)

= 0.5 × 5 × 1

= 2.5

At CD,

the government revenue will be:

= 1.5 × 2.5

= 3.75

The deadweight loss will be:

= 0.5 × (7.5-5) × (2-1.5)

= 0.5 × 2.5 × 0.5

= 0.625

Based on the calculation above, both the government revenue and the deadweight loss decreases.

What is the payback period for a project with an initial investment of $180000 that provides an annual cash inflow of $40000 for
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Option b: 5.2 Years

Explanation:

Payback period is defined as the amount of time it takes for cash returns or cash inflows of a project to recover the initial investment required for the project.  

Payback period is estimated using the cumulative cashflows. Beginning from the initial investment, deduct annual cash flows of each successive year until the cumulative cashflow turn positive.  

        Cashflow Cumulative Cashflow

Year 0 ($180,000) ($180,000)

Year 1 $40,000  ($140,000)

Year 2 $40,000  ($100,000)

Year 3 $40,000  ($60,000)

Year 4 $25,000  ($35,000)

Year 5 $25,000  ($10,000)

Year 6 $50,000  $40,000  

Year 7 $50,000  $90,000  

Year 8 $50,000  $140,000  

*Figures in brackets show negative cashflows

From the table above, it can be observed that the cumulative cashflow turn positive after year 5, which means that the payback period for the project will be somewhere between year 5 and year 6. Therefore, assuming a constant rate of cash inflows during the year, payback period for the project can be computed as  

Payback period = 5 Years + (10,000/50,000)  Years

Payback Period = 5.2 Years

A company purchased a weaving machine for $264,970. The machine has a useful life of 8 years and a residual value of $14,500. It
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$37,455

Explanation:

The unit of production method of depreciation charges higher amounts of depreciation seasons of higher output.  The depreciation amount is propositional to the level of production.

The formula applicable in the calculation of the unit of depreciation is as follows.

Depreciation = depreciable value / estimated production value x units produced

For this machine: depreciable value = Asset cost - residual value

Depreciable value =$264,970- $14500 = $250, 470

Estimated units to be produced = 759,000 bolts

Units produced in the second year =113,500

Depreciation for the second year

=  250, 470/ 759,000 x 113,500

=0.33 x 113, 500

= $37,455
