Answer:

Expected Value = $740

Expected profit = $22.2m

Explanation:

We can easily calculate the expected value and expected profit/loss in this situation by some minor working

Expected values = Expected Claim - per policy cost

Expected profit/loss = (Expected claim - per policy cost) x number of policies

As you can see per policy cost and no of policies are given in the question data we just need to find expected claim for calculation of expected profit or loss and expected value

Expected Claim = (1/100x$10,000)+(1/250x$40,000)+(1/400x$80,000)

Expected Claim = 100 + 160 + 200

Expected Claim = 460

Now we have a value of expected claim lets put it into Expected profit/loss formula and expected value formula

Expected value = 460-1200

Expected value = -740

-$740 is the value per policy

Expected profit/loss = (460 - $1200 per policy) x 30,000

Expected profit or loss = -22,200,000

Expected loss to the customer = -$22.2 m

Expected profit for the company = $22.2m

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

b. $4,908,000

Explanation:

According to the FASB GAAP, the straight line method is used in this given question which is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($40,900,000 - $4,090,000) ÷ (15 years)

= ($36,810,000) ÷ (15 years)  

= $2,454,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

For two years, the accumulated depreciation would be

= Annual year depreciation × number of years

= $2,454,000 × 2 years

= $4,908,000

A number between 1 and 15
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The probability is 0.20 or 20%

Explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.  

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes  

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.  

so  

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space  

so

P=\frac{x}{y}

In this problem we have  that

Multiple of 5 between 1 and 15 = 5, 10,15

so

x=3

Total numbers between 1 and 15=15

so

y=15

substitute

P=\frac{3}{15}=0.20

Convert to percentage

P=0.20(100)=20\%

Sheffield Company signed a long-term noncancelable purchase commitment with a major supplier to purchase raw materials in 2021 a
Sphinxa [80]

The journal entry to record the purchase of the raw materials by Sheffield Company is as follows:

Debit Purchases $1,031,600

Credit Accounts Payable $1,031,600

  • To record the purchase of the raw materials in 2021.

The December adjusting entry can be revised with:

Debit Estimated Liability $53,300

Credit Unrealized holding Loss $53,300

  • To reverse the December 31 adjusting entry.

<h3>What is an unrealized holding loss?</h3>

In this instance, the unrealized holding loss arose from the fact that the market value of the raw materials is less than the purchase amount because of the noncancelable commitment.

Thus, the unrealized holding loss arose as the difference between the market value and the purchase amount.

<h3>Data Analysis:</h3>

Purchases $1,031,600 Accounts Payable $1,031,600

Estimated Liability $53,300 Unrealized holding Loss $53,300

Thus, the entry to record the purchase is a debit to the purchases account and a credit to accounts payable.

Tom [10]

The opportunity cost of buying 3 CDs is the lost opportunity to buy 1 DVD

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of alternative forgone.It is cost of the item not purchased due the current buying decision.

It is also applicable to a business division selling to another division within the company.The cost of such internal sale is viewed as the variable cost of the product plus the contribution forgone from not selling to external party.This is most likely the case when the selling division does not have a spare capacity with which it can fulfill internal sale request.
