Answer: The expected loss is $2.3

Explanation:

Total number of tickets to be sold = 100 tickets

one $450 prize, the expected gain = 450 x (1/100)  = $4.5

two $110 prizes, the expected gain = 110 x (2/100) = $2.2

four $25 prizes. the expected gain = 25 x (4/100) = $1

Expected gain (loss) = Total expected gain - Cost of the ticket

                                  = (4.5 + 2.2 + 1 ) - 10

                                  = (2.3)

The expected loss is $2.3

Answer:

$2.3

Explanation:

cost per ticket = $10

Total number of tickets to be sold = 100 tickets

since there are 100 tickets the probability that you would win any of the prize would be:

For the one(1)  $450 prize

 expected gain = 450 x (1/100)  = $4.5

For the two(2) $110 prizes

expected gain = 110 x (2/100) = $2.2

For the four(4) $25 prizes.

 expected gain = 25 x (4/100) = $1

Expected gain (loss) = Total expected gain - Cost of the ticket

= (4.5 + 2.2 + 1 ) - 10 = - 2.3

The expected loss is $2.3

melomori [17]

Answer:

The correct answer are the option B and C: Foreign competition would wipe out domestic production and producers are driven by the profit motive to work against competition.

Explanation:

First of all, the huge companies, and that includes the foreign competition, will always wipe out the small ones and that situation will definitely impact in the domestic economy of a country by leaving without work to the other enterprises and their employees, also by increasing prices and obligating to the customers to buy them due to their power in the industry and more. That is why, government regulation is obviously needed in the free-market system because if there is not, then the leader organization will do as they please with the market.

Secondly, the companies are lucrative organization and therefore that the most important thing that they care about is to make money by producing goods or giving services to the community that need it. That is why, if there is not government then the most powerful companies would try to eliminate the small ones by taking all their consumers away.

What is the preferable presentation of accounts receivable from officers, employees, or affiliated companies on a balance sheet?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

As assets but separately from other receivables.

Explanation:

When a company lends money to its employees, managers or affiliated companies, or sells goods or services to them, it must report those accounts or notes receivables in a separate account than normal transactions carried out with external customers. This happens because the transactions must be verifiable to check if they were legal and followed the proper procedures, and at what price or interest rate were they carried out. E.g. a corporation that lens $10 million to its CEO at 1% interest rate is not doing things properly and that transaction should be reversed and proper interest rates must be charged.

In 1893, a one-million acre area of the grand canyon national forest reserve was home to an estimated 3,000 rocky mountain mule
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.1 / acre or 1 / 10 acres

Explanation:

The density of an animal in a given area is given by the number of animals per unit of area.

In this case, we want to know the density of the mule deer in 1923 (100,000) divided by the total area of the Grand Canyon National forest Reserve (1,000,000 acres).

So, we'll simply divide 100,000 by 1,000,000 to get:

D = 100,000 / 1,000,000 = 0.1

The density of the mule deer within the Grand Canyon National forest Reserve  is of 0.1 / acre or 1 / 10 acres
