Answer:

All requirements solved

Explanation:

Utility if you buy them online or if you can get them in Tijuana can be calculated as follows

Requirement a. Buy online  

Y=1000-200=800

U=ln(800)=2.90

Requirement b. Buy from Tijuana

Y=1000-20-50=930  

U=ln(930)=2.97

Requirement c.

p(1000-20-50)=(1-p)(1000-200)

930p=800-800p

p=0.46

Requirement d. expected income from buying in tijuana:

=0.6(1000-60-50)+0.4(1000-20-50)

=534+372

=906 > 800(income from buying online)

So buy from tijuana

Do you think volleyball is stupid yes or no
labwork [276]

Question: Do you think volleyball is stupid yes or no?

Answer: No, because it  is in fact like every other sport there is a winning team and a losing team and both teams have to come up with strategies to win the game. I think that volleyball is a really good sport for both men and woman to play/compete in.

In conclusion I think that volleyball is actually a really good game because by the time you are done playing either you win or you lose you are aready out of energy. So no volleyball is not a stupid game because it is like any other sprt it is a winner and loser game.

I hope this helps :)

liraira [26]

Answer:

d. $250,000.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the expense of the goodwill, we must first calculate the net asset's fair value shown below:

The fair value of net asset = The fair market value of total assets - the fair market value of liabilities

= $125,000 + $750,000 - $175,000

= $700,000

And, the purchase value of all outstanding stocks is $950,000

So, the goodwill would be  

= $950,000 - $700,000

= $250,000
