Answer:

Sue's opportunity cost of changing oil is <u>more</u> than Fred's and her opportunity cost for changing tires is <u>less</u> than Fred's.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the value of next best alternative sacrifised while choosing an alternative. Eg : If I can read English or Science & opportunity cost of reading it is reading Science.

               Oil         Tires          Sacrifise Ratio  (Oil:Tires)  

Sue       20           20             20:20 = 1:1

Fred       20            10             20:10 = 2:1 or 1:0.5

Sue can change oil by sacrifising 1 unit tire, Fred can change oil by sacrifising 0.5 unit of tire. So, Sue's opportunity cost of changing oil is more than Fred's .

Fred can change tire by sacrifising 2 units of oil, Sue can change tire by sacrifising 1 unit of oil. So, Sue's opportunity cost of changing tires is less than Fred's.

There are three clues labeled "daily double" on the game show Jeopardy. If three equally matched contenders play, what is the pr
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

a)  0.0358

b)  0.0395

c)  0.1506

Explanation:

Number of clues "daily doubles" = 3

Determine the probabilities

<u>a) P(single contestant finds all three ) </u>

assuming event A= a returning champion gets the "daily double" in first trial

P(A) = 1/30 , P(~A) = 29/30              

assuming event B = any player picks up "daily double" after the first move

P(B |~A ) = 1/3

hence : P ( B and ~A ) = 29/30 * 1/3 = 29/90

<em>considering second round </em>

P(player chooses both daily doubles ) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

∴ P(single contestant finds all three )  = 29/90 * 1/9 = 0.0358

<u>B) P ( returning champion gets all three ) </u>

= (1/30 + 29/90 )* 1/9

= 32 / 810 = 0.0395

<u>c) P ( each player selects only one )</u>

P = 32/405 + 29/405

  = 61 / 405 = 0.1506

1. Keira’s Kitchen Company presented the following data: Net Income $2,500,000 Preferred Stock, 50,000 shares outstanding, $100
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = $1.18

Explanation:

We know,

Earnings Per Share (EPS) = \frac{Net Income - Preferred Dividend}{No. of shares outstanding}

Here,

Net Income = $2,500,000

Preferred Dividend = Total preferred stock in dollar x cost of preferred stock

Preferred Dividend = $5,000,000 x 8% = $400,000

No. of shares outstanding table is shown below (Weighted):

Shares outstanding + Additional shares - Treasury stock =

[750,000 x stock split] + [300,000 x (8/12) x stock split] - [150,000 x (5/12) x stock split]

= (750,000 x 2) + (200,000 x 2) - (62,500 x 2)

= 1,500,000 + 400,000 - 125,000

= 1,775,000

Now, EPS = \frac{2,500,000 - 400,000}{1,775,000}

EPS = 1.18 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

<em>Note:</em> 1. As, there is a stock split of 2-for-1, that's why we multiply the stock by 2.

2. Since additional shares are issued on 1st May, therefore, the weight from May to December is for 8 months. Repurchased or Treasury stock should be removed from number of shares.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The amount that Plunkett should report in ending inventory on December 31 is $156,300

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:

= Ending inventory balance - FOB destination goods purchased - goods being held on consignment

= $215,500 - $44,100 - $15,100

= $156,300

The other items would not be adjusted because the other items are not included in the ending inventory so they are not being considered in the computation part.
