Answer:

Total bet amount= -$2

Explanation:

In a card deck of 52 cards we have 13 diamond cards. Cards are drawn without replacement.

Probability of the first card being diamond = 13/52

Probability of the send card being diamond= 12/51

So the probability for both cards being diamond = (13/52)*(12/51)= 0.0588235

Bet amount for 2 diamonds= probability* amount received

Bet amount for 2 diamonds= 0.0588235* $30= $1.765

Probability of no diamond= 1- 0.0588235

Probability of no diamond= 0.94118

Bet amount for no diamonds= 0.94118* (-$4)

Bet amount for no diamonds= -$3.765

Total bet amount= Bet amount for diamonds + bet amount for no diamonds

Total bet amount= $1.765+ (-$3.765)

Total bet amount= -$2

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments: A new operating system for an existing machine is expecte
Westkost [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period for each investment is shown below;

For Option 1

= Initial Investment ÷  Annual Cash Flow

= $280,000 ÷ $134,569

= 2.081 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $80,769 + (($280,000 - $11,000) ÷ 5)

= $134,569

For Option-2

= Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow

= $200,000 ÷ $70,429

= 2.84 Year

Here Annual cash inflow is

= Net income + Depreciation

= $44,000 + (($200,000 - $15,000) ÷ 7)

= $70,429

Discuss the 3 types of bailments and identify the legal ramifications regarding possession or acquisition and treatment of the b
ra1l [238]

<u>Answer: </u>

Three types of bailments are:

1) Bailment that benefits both the bailor and the bailee.

2) Bailment that benefits only the bailor.

3) Bailment that benefits only the bailee.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Bailment can be understood as a temporary transfer of the property from one person to another for a given specific time period and also for some specific purpose. There is a difference between bailment and the sale, as in the former the ownership of the property is not transferred. The owner of the property who delivers the property to another person is called bailor, whereas, the person who temporarily receives the property is called bailee.

There are basically three types of bailment:

1) Bailment that benefits both the bailor and the bailee: In this case, both the party benefits in the bailment process. The most suitable example is renting a house for another person for a living. Here, the bailor is benefited as he receives the renting fee and the bailee gets the house for living.

2) Bailment that benefits only the bailor: In this only, the bailor is benefited in the bailment process. The best example is the free car parking service by a valet. The bailor is benefited as he gets the car parking service, but as the service is free, the bailee does not receive any benefit out of it, However, the damage to the car might incur certain liability on the hands of the bailee.

3) Bailment that benefits only the bailee: In this bailment procedure, only the bailee is the one who receives the benefits. The most appropriate example of this is the library system. In the library, the person who borrows the book is the bailee and receives the benefit in the form of a book, whereas, the bailor (library) does not benefit anything out of it.

<u>Some legal ramifications related to the possession and acquisition of the bailment: </u>

If the bailment term is over, then the bailor has the right to reclaim the property from the bailee and bailee has to return it to the bailor. However, if the term is over after a certain fixed period of time and the bailor has not claimed for the property, then the bailee can address the property as abandoned to the bailor.

In other cases, if the bailor has not reclaimed the property or did not make any attempt to do so, and the fixed duration has passed, then in such case, the bailee can claim the property as its own. However, to stay in good faith, the bailee should show the bailor that the property has been abandoned.

Each week a soft drink machine sells x cans of soda for $0.75/soda. The cost to the owner of the soda machine for each soda is $
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

$34.8

Explanation:

Profits = sales - costs( variable costs +fixed costs)

In this case : total sales will be price $0.75 x units sold X= 0.75X

Variable costs : =$10 x units sold= $10x

Fixed cost remain $25 as they are not affected by quantity.

profits for the Week

P= (0.75x- 0.10x)-$25

Profit for the week with units sold as 92: x = 92

p= ( {0.75x92} - {0.10x92} )- $25

P= $69 - $9.2- $25

P=$59.8- $25

   =$34.8

A government collects $70 billion quarterly in tax revenue. Each year it allocates $15 billion to the justice system and $29 bil
Anton [14]

Answer:

84.29%

Explanation:

Quarterly tax revenue collected = $70 billion

Thus,

annual tax revenue collected = $70 billion × 4

= $280 billion

Total amount allocated = $15 billion + $29 billion

= $44 billion

Therefore,

Percentage of annual tax revenue allocated

= [ $44 billion ÷ $280 billion ] × 100%

= 15.71%

Hence,

Percentage of its total annual tax revenue is left for allocation to the remaining categories of government spending

= 100% - 15.71%

= 84.29%
