Answer:

Expected Loss will be $3

Explanation:

Expected Loss can be calculated by  multiplying the probabilities to Net expected outcome.

Probabilities

Prize ( $460) = 1 / 100

Prize ( $80 ) = 2 / 100

Prize ( $20 ) = 4 / 100

No prize = 100/100 - (1+2+4)/100 = 93/100

Expected value = [( 460 - 10 ) x 1/100 ] + [( 80 - 10 ) x 2/100 ] + [( 20 - 10 ) x 4/100 ] + [( 0 - 10 ) x 93/100] = 4.5 + 1.4 + 0.4 - 9.3 = -$3

Kremena's bank account earns 4.5% simple interest. How much must she deposit in the account today if she wants it to be worth $1
12345 [234]

Answer:

$1,101.32

Explanation:

Simple interest accounts balances are calculated using the following formula

A = P ( 1 + rt)

where:

A = final account balance

P = starting balance

r = interest rate (annually) percentage divided by 100

t = years

Therefore, we can plug in the values provided in this formula and solve for P which would be the amount that Kremena needs to deposit.

1,250 = P ( 1 + (0.045 * 3))

1,250 = P * 1.135  ... divide both sides by 1.135

1,101.32 = P

Finally, we can see that Kremena would need to deposit a total of $1,101.32 to have the amount that she wants after 3 years.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $800,000

Total estimated direct labor hours= 4,000

Direct labor hours Beta= 1,200

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 800,000/4,000= $200 per hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to Beta:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 200*1,200= $240,000
