Answer:

Explanation:

The Malthus theory states that population should be controlled because there are no enough resources to please the future needs. This is how it works: in the short-run there is a change in technology that leads to an increase in income. Because people have more income, better life standards, the birth rate increases and exceeds the death rate. In the long-run total income would have to be distributed between more people than before and the economy reaches the equilibrium again, in which the birth rate equals the death rate.

In other words, econmic success becomes a reproductive success.

There are three clues labeled "daily double" on the game show Jeopardy. If three equally matched contenders play, what is the pr

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

a) 0.0358

b) 0.0395

c) 0.1506

Explanation:

Number of clues "daily doubles" = 3

Determine the probabilities

a) P(single contestant finds all three )

assuming event A= a returning champion gets the "daily double" in first trial

P(A) = 1/30 , P(~A) = 29/30

assuming event B = any player picks up "daily double" after the first move

P(B |~A ) = 1/3

hence : P ( B and ~A ) = 29/30 * 1/3 = 29/90

considering second round

P(player chooses both daily doubles ) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

∴ P(single contestant finds all three ) = 29/90 * 1/9 = 0.0358

B) P ( returning champion gets all three )

= (1/30 + 29/90 )* 1/9

= 32 / 810 = 0.0395

c) P ( each player selects only one )

P = 32/405 + 29/405

= 61 / 405 = 0.1506

A company issues $16200000, 5.8%, 20-year bonds to yield 6% on January 1, 2020. Interest is paid on June 30 and December 31. The

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 is $949,681.45.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Bond value = $16200000

Bond interest rate = 5.8%

Proceed from bond = $15825541

Yield rate = 6%

The amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 can now be calculated as follows:

Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 = Proceed from bond * Yield rate * (6 / 12) = $15825541 * 6% * (6 / 12) = $474,766.23

Discount amortized during first 6 months = Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 - (Bond value * Bond interest rate * (6 / 12)) = $474,766.23 - ($16200000 * 5.8% * (6 / 12)) = $474,766.23 - 469,800 = $4,966.23

Interest expense for July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 = (Proceed from bond + Discount amortized during first 6 months) * Yield rate * (6 / 12) = ($15825541 + $4,966.23) * 6% * (6 / 12) = $474,915.22

Interest expense to be recognized in 2020 = Interest expense for January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 + Interest expense for July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 = $474,766.23 + $474,915.22 = $949,681.45

Therefore, the amount of interest expense which will be recognized in 2020 is $949,681.45.
