Answer:

-$0.237

Explanation:

The player making a single shoot is 392/441 = 0.889

That makes a percentage of 88.9%.

The probability of making the next 3 shots as 0.889 × 0.889 × 0.889 = 0.703.

The probability of him not making all of the next 3 shot is 1 - 0.703

So now to find the expected value,

P(makes all the three shots) * (Value when you win) + P(misses the three shots) * (value when you lose)

0.703 * $6 + (1 - 0.703)*(-$15)

$4.218 - $4.455

= -$0.237

Nina is in an interview for a sales job that requires no experience. She is trying to portray herself as a highly enthusiastic,
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Let re-visit the definition of information asymmetry before we further investigate the scenario. Information asymmetry describes the situation when the two parties are negotiating and one of them have more relevant information/knowledge that helps he/she gains competitive advantages in negotiation over the other party.

In the described scenario, the information that Nina has been fired from her previous job mainly because of her fault rather than any other objective reasons  is of much importance for the interviewer's decision-making in term of hiring Nina. Did the interviewer know this piece of information, he/she may not hire Nina or the negotiating salary level would be pretty much lower.

Bramble, Inc., manufactures golf clubs in three models. For the year, the Big Bart line has a net loss of $6,600 from sales $200
Advocard [28]

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the analysis is shown below:

Particulars   Continue Eliminate       Net Income (Decrease)

Sales          $200,000        $0          -$200,000

Less: Variable Costs $176,000 $0         -$176,000

Contribution margin $24,000 $0          -$24,000

Fixed Costs $30,600           $20,600   $10,000

Net Income/Loss -$6,600   -$20,600   -$14,000

As we can see that in both the cases whether eliminate or continue the amounts comes in negative but in continue there is a less amount of loss as compared to eliminated one

Therefore, in this case, the big Bart line could be continued

Cash generated by the regular operations of a business; usually computed as net income plus or minus the effects of other curren
Oliga [24]

Cash generated by the regular operations of a business; usually computed as net income plus or minus the effects of other current assets and current liabilities on cash flows, plus noncash expenses deducted in arriving at net income, minus noncash revenues included, less certain gains and plus any losses that are included in the total proceeds received from sale of fixed assets is given below

Explanation:

  • Cash flows from operating activities show the net amount of cash received or disbursed during a given period for items that normally appear on the income statement. You can calculate these cash flows using either the direct or indirect method.
  • The direct method deducts from cash sales only those operating expenses that consumed cash. This method converts each item on the income statement directly to a cash basis.
  • Alternatively, the indirect method starts with accrual basis net income and indirectly adjusts net income for items that affected reported net income but did not involve cash.
  • The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95 encourages use of the direct method but permits use of the indirect method.
  • Whenever given a choice between the indirect and direct methods in similar situations, accountants choose the indirect method almost exclusively. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants reports that approximately 98% of all companies choose the indirect method of cash flows.
  • The direct method converts each item on the income statement to a cash basis.
  • The indirect method adjusts net income (rather than adjusting individual items in the income statement) for (1) changes in current assets (other than cash) and current liabilities, and (2) items that were included in net income but did not affect cash.
  • The most common example of an operating expense that does not affect cash is depreciation expense.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

1.-3,120 Favorable variance.

2.$704Unfavorable variance

Explanation:

Material price variance:

Actual price is $0.28

Standard price 0.32

Actual quantity 78,000

Material price variance = (Actual price - Standard price) Actual quantity=

(0.28 - 0.32)*78,000

= (-0.04) 78,000= -3,120 Favorable variance.

2. Material quantity variance:

Actual quantity of material used (78,000 - 27,000) = 51,000

Standard quantity of material for the actual level of production (5,100 toys x 8 microns per toy) =48,800 toys

Standard price per unit of material = $0.32

Material quantity variance = (Actual quantity used - Standard quantity of material for actual level of production) Standard price

= (51,000 - 48,800)* $0.32

= (2,200) $0.32 = $704Unfavorable variance
