Answer:

A) There is a 50% chance the game ends in a tie, 10% chance you win (and therefore a 40%  chance you lose).

expected value = (50% x 20) + (10% x 50) + (40% x 0) = 10 + 5 + 0 = 15

B) There is a 50-50 chance of winning and there are no ties.

expected value = (50% x 50) + (50% x 0) + = 25 + 0 = 25

C) There is an 80% chance you lose and a 10% chance you win or tie.

expected value = (10% x 20) + (10% x 50) + (80% x 0) = 2 + 5 + 0 = 7

The expected value of an event is determined by adding up all the possible outcomes multiplied by their respective value.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

6.36 %

Explanation:

Unemployment means the state of being jobless but actively searching for work.  Unemployed people are part of the labor force.

In the case of Albireo, the work-eligible population is 180 million.

There are 110 million workers in the labor force, and employment level is 103 million. It means that those in the labor force and are not employed are 110 million - 103 million.

The number of unemployed people  = 7 million

The formula for calculating the rate of unemployment

= No. of unemployed people / No. in the labor force x 100

=7 million / 110 million x 100

=7/110 x 100

= 0.063 x 100

=6.36 %

When the economy is in a recession, expansionary fiscal policy can be used to stimulate and encourage economic growth. Which of
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A. The government lowers tax rates and undertakes a replacement of old bridges and roads

B. The government lowers tax rates and issues a partial refund of taxes that have already been paid

These 2 statements are correct explained below

Explanation:

A. The government lowers tax rates and undertakes a replacement of old bridges and roads, this statement is correct because when the government lowers tax rates it means that people have higher disposable income on their hands therefore they can spend more which increases demand, and people also invest more which increases supply, also the replacement of bridges and roads is improvement in infrastructure and this also increases supply as transportation is easier and cheaper for businesses.

B. The government lowers tax rates and issues a partial refund of taxes that have already been paid, this statement is correct because when the government lowers tax rates it means that people have higher disposable income on their hands therefore they can spend more which increases demand, and people also invest more which increases supply, also refund of taxes will increase the disposable money that people have so they can invest and consume both which will increase both supply and demand.

C. The government raises tax rates and reduces unemployment insurance payment

This is contraction fiscal policy and will do the opposite of expansionary fiscal policy, that is why this statement is incorrect.

D. The Federal Reserve increases the money supply and lowers the interest rate while the government simultaneously reduces future taxes. This statement is wrong because lowering the interest rate is an expansionary monetary policy and not an expansionary fiscal policy.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

b. The same as it would have been if the original payment had been debited initially to an expense account

Explanation:

We can use an example to explain this:

original journal entry to record a 3 year insurance policy on January 1 is:

Dr Prepaid insurance 3,600

    Cr Cash 3,600

Adjusting entry on December 31

Dr Insurance expense 1,200

    Cr Prepaid insurance 1,200

balance of prepaid insurance = $3,600 - $1,200 = $2,400

Dr Insurance expense 3,600

    Cr Cash 3,600

Adjusting entry on December 31

Dr Prepaid insurance 2,400

    Cr Insurance expense 2,400

balance of prepaid insurance = $2,400
