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

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Annual savings = 61,746.

Explanation:

The Net Present Value (NPV) is the difference between the present value (PV) of cash outflows  and PV of cash inflow

At the internal rate of return the PC of annual cash savings will be equal to the investment cost

Initial cost = 211980

PV = annual cash savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n)/ r

A=?  r-internal rate of return, 14%, n-number of years- 5

211980 = A  (1- (1.14)^(-5)/ 0.14

211,980 = A× 3.433080969

A= 211,980/3.43308

A= 61746.28619

Annual savings = 61,746.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

When the Federal reserve bank sells government securities, the banks will purchase them and pay back fed. This payment is made out of banks' reserves. This causes the reserves to decrease.  

As reserves decline, the banks will be able to provide fewer loans. Consequently, this decrease in lending will further cause the money supply to decrease.
