1 answer:

6 0

The probability of event B given that event A has already occurred is known as a CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY.
Conditional probability is written mathematically as: P[B/A], where P stands for probability.
Event A and B can be dependent or independent and this will have effect on the general formula of conditional probability, that is, the formula will change in form depending on the relationship between the two events.

Landen Corporation uses a job-order costing system. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Dire

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor-hours= 140,000

Machine-hours= 70,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 784,000

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per direct labor-hour $ 2.00

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine hour $ 4.00

Job 550;

Direct materials $ 175

Direct labor cost $ 225

Direct labor-hours 15

Machine-hours 5

We need to calculate the total cost of Job 550. First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Based on direct labor hour:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 784,000/140,000= $5.6 per direct labor hour

Based on machine hour:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 784,000/70,000= $11.2

Now, we can calculate the total cost:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Based on direct labor hour:

Total cost= 175 + 225 + 5.6*15= $484

Based on machine hours:

Total cost= 175 + 225 + 11.2*5= $456

Jenna began the year with a tax basis of $45,000 in her partnership interest. Her share of partnership debt consists of $6,000 o

agasfer [191]

Answer:

a) Jenna's tax basis = $45,000 + ($13,000 - $10,000) = $48,000

loss allocation = $65,000

loss limited by her tax basis = $65,000 - $48,000 = $17,000

b) Jenna's at risk loss = $48,000 - $13,000 = $35,000

c) Jenna's loss limited by passive activity = $35,000 - $4,000 = $31,000

scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Investment A

Cash flow in year 0 = -$150

Cash flow in year 1 = $80

Cash flow in year 2 = $40

Cash flow in year 3 = $40

Cash flow in year 4 = $30

I = 10%

NPV = 6.33

Investment A

Cash flow in year 0 = -$150

Cash flow in year 1 = $40

Cash flow in year 2 = $50

Cash flow in year 3 = $60

Cash flow in year 4 = $55

I = 10%

NPV = 10.33

Project B has a higher NPV and it should be chosen

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
