The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
The Jackson family is undecided about whether or not to buy a new car. If the probability is .9 that they will buy one, and if the probability is .3 that they will buy a Ford, and if the probability is .4 that they will purchase a car getting more than 20 miles per gallon, what is the probability that they will buy either a car getting more than 20 miles per gallon or a Ford, if all Fords get more than 20 miles per gallon?
Solution :
Given that :
The probability of buying a new car, 
Probability of buying Ford = 0.3
That is, if Jackson family buy a car that is a ford car, 
= 0.27
The probability for getting more than 20 miles per gallon = 0.4
That is if Jackson family buy a car that have more than 20 miles per gallon mileage, 
The conditions
All of the car have more than 20 miles per gallon mileage.
It means that buying a ford car is subset of getting more than 20 miles per gallon.
Therefore, the probability of buying a car either getting more than 20 miles per gallon or ford = 
Therefore,
= 0.36
Thus the probability that Jackson family is buying a car either getting more than 20 miles per gallon or ford is 0.36
Answer:
A. revenues earned and expenses incurred in generating those revenues should be reported in the same income statement.
Explanation:
A matching principle is an accounting concept which is typically used on accrual basis accounts and it states that expenses incurred by an individual or business entity should be recognized and matched in the same period with respect to the revenues they are related to.
The matching principle indicates when costs are recognized as expenses on the income statement.
For instance, company XYZ purchases a property worth $90,000 in June, it was then sold in July for $250,000. Based on the matching principle, the $90,000 cost shouldn't be recognized by company XYZ as an expense until July, when the related revenue would be recognized also. Else, if recognized, its expenses would be overstated by $90,000 in June, and consequently understated to the tune of $250,000 in July.
Hence, matching principle requires that revenues earned and expenses incurred in generating those revenues should be reported in the same income statement.
Additionally, the matching principle helps business owners to calculate their taxes and profits or losses properly.
Answer:
if they have a high variable cost, the business will make no money and would probably start to loose money, to the point where they go out of business. So they have to keep the variable cost low, manufacture their products with a low price, and sell their products high to make money and keep the business going.

A pledge in this context is a vow or a promise to make a donation or give something at a future date. It may be vocalized or communicated in writing.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), sets out the criteria for recognizing a pledge or a promise as follows:
- Relevance— If the promise is important enough to make a difference in the users decisions, then it ought to be recognized
- Definitions—If the item satisfies the definition of a component of a financial statement, then it ought to be recognized;
- Dependability— When the pledge is based on a fact that can be recorded, verifiable, and neutral, then it can be recognized
- Measurability— if it allows for measurability, then it should be recognized
It is clearly stated that where the certainty or reliability of a promise or a vow is difficult that measure, it is better to decline from recognizing such a pledge.
