Those that learn best by pursuing interests through an individual pace have which learning preference?

Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor to produce rye and 3 million hours to produce jeans, while Dolorium

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Bellisima's opportunity cost:

Production of rye per million hours of labor = 24 / 12 = 2 pairs of jeans

Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 12 / 24 = 0.5 bushels of rye

Dolorium's opportunity cost:

Production of rye per million hours of labor = 32 / 8 = 4 pairs of jeans

Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 8 / 32 = 0.25 bushels of rye

Dolorium has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.

If both countries specialize:

Bellisima will produce 48 million bushels of rye.

Dolorium will produce 128 million pairs of jeans.

Total production of rye has increased by 12 million bushels.

Total production of jeans has increased by 24 million pairs.

Suppose a life insurance company sells a $290 comma 000 one-year term life insurance policy to a 20-year-old female for $280

Monica [59]

Answer:

The insurance company will gain an expected value $176.66032

Explanation:

The expected value is the gain or loss of an event and is calculated each outcome by its probability.

In our case we have to consider all events as follows;

The probability of dying means the insurance company will have a loss of $290,000 and gain $280 which is the cost of the policy. The probability of this happening=(1-probability of living)=(1-0.999644)=0.000356

The probability of living means the insurance company will gain $280, and the probability of this happening=0.999644

The gain or loss from death=280-290,000=-$289,720

The gain or loss from living=$280

Expected value=(The loss from death×probability of death)+(The gain from living×probability of living)

where;

The loss from death=-$290,000

Probability of death=0.000356

The gain from living=$280

Probability of living=0.999644

replacing;

Expected value=(-290,000×0.000356)+(280×0.999644)

Expected value=(-103.24+279.90032)

Expected value=$176.66032

The insurance company will gain an expected value $176.66032

The standard costs and actual costs for direct materials for the manufacture of 1,910 actual units of product are as follows: St

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$774 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material quantity variance is shown below:

= Standard Price × (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)

= $8.60 × (1,910 kilograms - 2,000 kilograms)

= $8.60 × 90 kilograms

= $774 unfavorable

Since it is unfavorable as it derives that actual quantity is more than the standard quantity and in the case of favorable, the actual quantity is less than the standard quantity

If a firm has retained earnings of $2.7 million, a common shares account of $4.7 million, and additional paid-in capital of $9.4

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

Explanation:

Given:

Retained earnings = $2.7 million

Common shares account = $4.7 million

Additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million

Stock dividend = 10%

Find:

Changes in account.

Computation:

1. Change in retained earnings

Change in retained earnings = Retained earnings - (Retained earnings - Common shares account - Additional paid-in capital)Stock dividend

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - ($2.7 million - $4.7 million - $9.4 million)10%

Change in retained earnings = $2.7 million - 1.68 million

Change in retained earnings = $1.02 million (Decrease)

2. Change in common shares account

Change in common shares account = Common shares account (1+Stock dividend)

Change in common shares account = $4.7 million (1+10%)

Change in common shares account = $5.17 million (Increase)

3. Change in additional paid-in capital

Change in additional paid-in capital = Additional paid-in capital + (Additional paid-in capital + Retained earnings)Stock dividend

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + ($9.4 million + $2.7 million)10%

Change in additional paid-in capital = $9.4 million + 1.21 million

Change in additional paid-in capital = $10.61 million (Increase)

What is the difference between internal validity and external validity? A. A statistical analysis is said to have internal vali

UNO [17]

C. A statistical analysis is said to have internal validity if the statistical inferences about causal effects are valid for the population being studied. The analysis is said to have external validity if conclusions can be generalized to other populations and settings.

So internal validity means the results are accurate and you can use them to make sense of the group you are studying. External validity still means the results are accurate, but that you can use them to make assumptions about the population as a whole.

So if you look at a field of cows where half are white and half are brown, you have internal validity that 50% of your sample is white and 50% is brown. This result would not have external validity because in the whole world, cows can be different colors or combinations of colors.
