Answer:

c) $5 million

Explanation:

The computation of expected net profit is shown below:-

For computing the net profit first we need to compute the profit which is shown below:-

Profit = $50 million - $10 million

= $40 million

Expect net profit = Probability of success × Profit + Probability of unsuccessful × Loss

= $40 × 0.3 + (-$10 × 0.7)

= $5 million

Therefore for computing the expected net profit we simply applied the above formula.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B, Judge's own personal feelings about the internet.

Explanation:

When a case comes to a court, it is the responsibility of a judge to see every aspect of the case and analyze it on the basis of given evidence or set rules or standards, or in the light of decisions made on the same case by other courts. But in this question, it is said that the case which was brought to the court was the first in its kind, it means no such type of case has been ever submitted in any court before. The freedom of speech on internet is a sensitive issue. So all aspects should be kept in mind while proceeding the case, and it would not be considered proper for the judge to bring his person feelings about the internet into the case. His personal feelings should be set aside and the case should be solved on the basis of evidences and solid views.

A company commences business on 1 April. It buys the following units of inventory.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

D £165,000​

Explanation:

The computation of gross profit for the year using the first in first out (FIFO) method of inventory  valuation is shown below:-

As we know that

Gross profit = Sales - the cost of goods sold

where

Sales is

= 500 units × £550

= £275,000

And, the cost of goods sold is

= 200 units × £250 + 300 units × £200

= £50,000 + £60,000

= £110,000

We considered only 500 units as these sold units are sold

And, this is a first in first out method so we pick the first date units only

So, the gross profit is

= £275,000 - £110,000

= £165,000
