Answer: net exports

Explanation:

Balance of payment simply shows the estimation of the inflows and outflow of a nation's money for a certain year. It should be noted that current account of the balance of payment consists of three main components which are the trade in Goods, the trade in services, and the transfer payments.

tangare [24]

Answer: 20 women

Explanation:

Making the total number of women in the club 'x', we can then do the following,

Total Number of Names in Hat, N

N = x + 10 ( total number of men)

therefore total number of names in the hat N=x+10

We need to select 3 people so sample size = 3

Using the Hypergeometric Distribution then we can then use the formula,

Expected number of women on the Committee = k * n / N

Where k is the total number

2 = x * 3 / (x + 10)

2 = 3x/(x +10)

3x = 2x +20

x = 20

There are 20 women in the club.

Vaughn Corporation had 303,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017. On May 1, Vaughn issued 31,200 shares.

Helga [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in each cases is as follows:

a. At the time when the shares are issued at cash

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (31,200 × 8 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 20,800

= 323,800 shares

b. At the time when the shares are issued in the stock dividend

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (29,700 × 12 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 29,700

= 332,700 shares
