Answer:

-0.75

Explanation:

We will examine the sample space, which is used in games like this one, to see the possible outcomes of the game:

H H H

H H T

H T H

T H H

T T H

T H T

H T T

T T T

The probability for getting three heads is 1/8. The probability for getting two heads is 3/8. And the probability for everything else is 1/2.

So, when the probabilities and the payouts (or losses) are put in the weighted formula, we get:

1/8*8 + 3/8*2 + 1/2*(-3) = -0.75

So the expected <em>loss </em>in the game is <u>0.75 dollars.</u>

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

number of share 30,000 share

price per share = $90

Explanation:

given data:

investor's share = 5%

outstanding share =400,000

stock split = 3/2

number of share after spliting = investor share* outstanding share* stock split

                                                  = 5%*400,000*(3/2)

                                                   = 30,000 share

per share price can be determined by using following relation:

price\  per\  share =\frac{ outstanding\  share*\  trading\ price * investor's\  share}{ number\  of \ share\  after \ splittg}

                             = \frac{40000 *135*0.05}{30000}

                               = $90

Ilya [14]

Answer:

3. ending work in process is less than the amount of the beginning work in process inventory.

And, the Manufacturing cost involves both cost i.e direct material and direct material used

If the cost of goods manufactured more than the total manufacturing costs, so automatically ending WIP inventory should be less then the beginning WIP inventory

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Dr accounts payable   $2,300

Cr cash                                      $2300

Explanation:

Initially the cost of the purchases=$4600

Returning half of the disc means the left for the discs actually bought is half of the invoice price of $4600 i.e $2,300

By not paying within the discount period implies that the debt stands at $2,300

Without mincing words,payment of $2,300 to the supplier automatically translates to debiting account payable with $2,300 and crediting cash account with the same amount.

The correct answer would :

Dr accounts payable   $2,300

Cr cash                                      $2300

This is missing from the options provided.
