Say I have a wallet that contained either a $2 bill or a $20 bill (with equal likelihood), but I don’t know which one. I add a $

2 bill. Later, I reach into my wallet without looking and remove a bill. It’s a $2 bill. There’s one bill remaining in the wallet. What is the chances that it’s a $2 bill?

Answer:

        \large\boxed{\large\boxed{2/3}}

Explanation:

The initial scenary is:

  • One $2-bill with 50% probability
  • One $20-bill with 50% probability

I will call the original $2-bill $2a and the $2-bill that I add $2b-bill.

When $2b-bill is added the options are:

  • One $2a-bill plus $2b-bill with 50% probability
  • One $2b-bill plus one $20-bill 50% probability

When I remove one of the $2 bills there are three possibilities for the bills on the wallet:

  • One $2a-bill,
  • One $2b-bill, and
  • One $20-bill

Each option is equally likely. Then each option has probability 1/3.

Two of those options are a $2 bill ($2a-bill and $2b-bill).

Hence, the probability of the bill remaining in the wallet be a $2 bill is 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

$13,532 .00

Explanation:

The cost allocation is usually based on a measurable factor such as area occupied, number of students etc. The more the measurable factor related to a unit/department, the more the cost assigned to the departments on the basis of the size of the measurable value.

Total number of employees

= 640

the amount of cost allocated to Department B under the direct method would be

= 199/640 * $43,520

= $13,532

Assume there are only three possible states of nature for the economy in the future: boom, normal, and recession. If there is a
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

a. 45%

Explanation:

The sum of total probabilities  is always equal to 1. Since in the given question only three probabilities are given, so the sum of these three probabilities shall be 1 which is represented as follows by the equation:

probability of boom+probability of normal+probability of recession=1

In the given question:

probability of boom=30%

probability of recession=25%

30%+probability of normal+25%=1

Probability of normal=1-25%-30%=45%

So based on the above calculations, the answer shall be a. 45%

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Green's distribution of $50,000 in to its sole shareholder at the end of the year should be treated as a dividend because Green's total earnings and profits for the year were $100,000.

A distribution from a corporation to a shareholder  can only be treated as a dividend when the corporation made a profit during the current year, or has positive accumulated earnings and profits.

wariber [46]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In industry, inventory buildups are cancelled with increased sales and marketing activities, which attract rewards and punishments.  This is why it is always a taboo to observe idle workers.  Idle workers cost the entity much in expenses.  Workers are employed based on productivity and profitability indexes.  There is no business entity that employs workers for the fun of employment.
