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%.

Firms outside of trading areas run the risk of being shut out of the single market by the creation of a Multiple Choice ""trade
swat32

Answer:

"trading fortress."

Explanation:

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.

Firms outside of trading areas run the risk of being shut out of the single market by the creation of a "trade fortress." A trade fortress serves as a barrier for the exchange of goods and services.

Free trade policy includes the adoption and implementation of tariffs and quotas between countries.

Trade policies tariffs and quotas will most likely benefit domestic producers of the protected good and harm domestic consumers of the protected good as they're made to pay for the consumption of imported products. Hence, under free trade there are more societal benefits due to the specialization of domestic goods.

Tariffs can reduce both the volume of exports and imports in a country.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Products         Selling price   Unit variable cost

                                $                       $

Junior                     50                      15

Adult                       75                      25

Expert                     <u>110 </u>                   <u> 60</u>

Total                      <u> 235 </u>                  <u> 100</u>

The sales price per composite unit = $235

The contribution margin per composite unit

= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost  

= $235 - $100

= $135

Break-even point in units

= <u>Fixed cost</u>

  Contribution per unit

= <u>$114,750</u>

  $135

= 850 units

Break-even point in dollars

= Break-even point in units x Composite selling price

= 850 units x $235

= $199,750

                     Income Statement    

                                                               $

Total contribution ($135 x 850 units)   114,750

Less: Fixed cost                                     <u>114,750</u>

Net profit                                                   <u> 0</u>

                                                                                                                                                                             

Explanation:

Sales price per composite unit is the aggregate of all the selling prices.

Contribution margin per composite unit equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.

Break-even point in units is fixed cost divided per composite contribution margin per unit.

Break-even point in dollars equal break-even point in units multiplied by selling price.

Income statement is prepared by deducting the total fixed cost from the total contribution.

Fuente, Inc., has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 1,075 2 1,210 3 1,340 4 1,4
umka21 [38]

Answer:

the future value of the cash flow in year 4 is $5,632.73

Explanation:

The computation of the future value of the cash flow in year 4 is as follows:

= $1,075 × (1.08^3) + $1,210 × (1.08^2) + $1,340 × (1.08^1) + $1,420 ×(1.08^0)

= $1,354.19 + $1,411.34 + $1,447.20 + $1,420  

= $5,632.73

Hence, the future value of the cash flow in year 4 is $5,632.73

5) You purchased a 3D printer for $60,000 that you expect to print 12,000 parts over its lifetime. You printed 2,000 parts in th
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Depreciation for the first year is $10,000

Explanation:

Unit production method is the depreciation method which is based on the output per year of the asset. The asset is depreciated by the ratio of the output for the year to the output expected over whole useful life.

Cost of printer = $60,000

Expected output = 12,000 prints

Prints in the first year = 2,000

Depreciation for the year = Total cost x output for the year / expected output over useful life

Depreciation for the first year = $60,000 x 2,000 / 12,000

Depreciation for the first year = $60,000 x 1/6

Depreciation for the first year = $10,000

Starlight Company has inventory of 8 units at a cost of $200 each on October 1. On October 2, it purchased 20 units at $205 each
Aliun [14]

Answer:

$2,255

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of good sold using the LIFO method is shown below:

Data given in the question

On October 1 = 8 units at $200 each

On October 2 = 20 units at $205 each

And, 11 units are sold on October 4

So using the LIFO method, the cost of goods sold for 11 units is

= Number of units sold × price of each units

= 11 units × $205

= $2,255
