Answer:

No, I wouldn't trade.

Explanation:

Originally there were 6 envelopes with money, so both my friend and I had equal chances (1/6) of getting X amount of money.

Since I got $16, that means that out of the remaining 5 possibilities, only 2 of them contain an amount higher than $16. And one of those possibilities is $64 which is the highest possible amount. If my friend has $64 in his envelope, he will definitely not trade, so that eliminates the $64 possibility.

The only four possibilities left are $2, $4, $8, and $32. Only one of them is higher than $16, while three are lower. So the chance that I get less than $16 is 3/4 or 75%.

blondinia [14]

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The Gross profit ratio is 36.6%

The Return on assets is 20%

The Profit margin is 8.8%

The Asset turnover would be 2.3 times

The Return on equity is 40.4%

Explanation:

The calculation of the five profitability ratios listed would be a follows:

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold

= $19,310,000 - $12,250,000

= $7,060,000

Gross profit ratio = Gross profit / Sales * 100

= $7,060,000 / $19,310,000 * 100

= 36.6%

The Gross profit ratio is 36.6%

Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets * 100

= $1,700,000 / [($9,200,000+$7,800,000)/2] * 100

= 20%

The Return on assets would be 20%

Profit margin = Net profit / Sales * 100

= $1,700,000 / $19,310,000 * 100

= 8.8%

The Profit margin would be 8.8%

Asset turnover = Sales / Average total assets

= $19,310,000 / [($9,200,000+$7,800,000)/2]

= 2.3 times

The Asset turnover would be 2.3 times

Return on equity = Net income / Average total equity

= $1,700,000 / [($1,900,000+$2,980,000+$1,900,000+$1,640,000)/2]

= 40.4%

The Return on equity would be 40.4%
