Answer:

Part a : The tree diagram is attached with the solution.

Part b: The probability of P(A∩B∩C) is 0.5519.

Part c: The probability of P(B∩C) is 0.6976.

Part d: The probability of P(C) is 0.7658.​

Part e: The probability of P(A∣B∩C) is 0.7658.​

Explanation:

The solution is as follows.

Data Given is as

P(A) = 0.73

P(B | A) = 0.90

P(B | A' ) =0.76

P(C | A∩B) =0.84

P(C | A∩B' ) =0.65

P(C | A' ∩B) =0.71

P(C | A' ∩B' ) =0.32

Part a:

The remaining values of Probabilities for the tree formation are calculated as follows

P(A')=1-P(A)=1-0.73=0.27

P(B'|A)=1-P(B|A)=1-0.90=0.10

P(B' | A' )=1-P(B | A' ) =1-0.76=0.24

P(C' | A∩B) =1-P(C | A∩B)=1-0.84=0.16

P(C' | A∩B' ) =1-P(C | A∩B' ) =1-0.65=0.35

P(C' | A' ∩B) =1-P(C | A' ∩B) =1-0.71=0.29

P(C' | A' ∩B' ) =1-P(C | A' ∩B' )=1-0.32=0.68

so the probability tree is given as attached in the diagram.

Part b:

P(A∩B∩C)=P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)

From the above data in part a

P(A)=0.73, P(B|A)=0.90 and P(C∣A∩B)=0.84

                =0.73×0.90×0.84

               =0.55188

               ≈0.5519

The probability of P(A∩B∩C) is 0.5519.

Part c

P(B∩C)=P(A∩B∩C)+P(A'∩B∩C)

           = [P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+{1−P(A)}P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)]

From the above data

P(A)=0.73,P(B∣A)=0.9,P(C∣A∩B)=0.84,P(B∣A′)=0.76 and P(C∣A′∩B)=0.71

P(B∩C)= [P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+{1−P(A)}P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)]

           =(0.73×0.9×0.84)+(1−0.73)×0.76×0.71

           =0.55188+0.145692

           =0.697572

           ≈0.6976

The probability of P(B∩C) is 0.6976.

Part d

P(C)=P(A∩B∩C)+P(A′∩B∩C)+P(A∩B ′∩C)+P(A′∩B ′∩C)

      =P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+[1−P(A)]P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)+P(A)[1−P(B∣A)]P(C∣A∩B′)+            

        [1−P(A)][1−P(B∣A′)]P(C∣A′∩B′)

Here from above data

P(A)=0.73,P(B∣A)=0.9,P(C∣A∩B)=0.84,P(B∣A′)=0.76,P(C∣A∩B′)=0.65,P(C∣A′∩B′)=0.32 and P(C∣A′∩B)=0.71

P(C)=P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+[1−P(A)]P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)+P(A)[1−P(B∣A)]P(C∣A∩B′)+            

        [1−P(A)][1−P(B∣A′)]P(C∣A′∩B′)

     ={0.7x0.9x0.84}+{(1-0.73)x0.76×0.71}+{0.73x(1-0.9)x0.32}+{(1-0.73)x(1-          

       0.76)x0.32}

     =0.55188+0.145692+0.04745+0.020736

     =0.765758

     ≈0.7658

The probability of P(C) is 0.7658.​

Part e

From part (b),P(A∩B∩C)=0.55188

From part (c), P(B∩C)=0.697572

<em>By  conditional probability rule, </em>

P(A∣B∩C)= P(A∩B∩C)/P(B∩C)

​        = 0.55188/0.697572

              =0.791144

             ≈0.7911

The probability of P(A∣B∩C) is 0.7658.​

Inventory at the end of the year was inadvertently overstated. Which of the following statements correctly states the effect of
jasenka [17]

Answer:

B net income is overstated, assets are overstated, and stockholders' equity is overstated

Explanation:

The movement in the balance of inventory at the start and end of a period is as a result of sales and purchases. While sales reduces the balance in inventory, purchases increases the balance. This may be expressed mathematically as

Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = closing balance

Hence, where ending inventory balance is overstated, cost of goods sold is understated. When cost of goods sold is understated, gross and net incomes are overstated. Hence owner's equity is overstated and asset overstated.

Alex Karev has taken out a ​$ loan with an annual rate of percent compounded monthly to pay off hospital bills from his wife​ Iz
Tom [10]

Answer:

the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:

<em>Alex Karev has taken out a ​$180,000 loan with an annual rate of 11% compounded monthly to pay off hospital bills from his wife​ Izzy's illness. If the most Alex can afford to pay is ​$3,500 per​ month, how long will it take to pay off the​ loan? How long will it take for him to pay off the loan if he can pay $4,000 per​ month?</em>

PVIFA = $180,000 / $3,500 = 51.42857

PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ ] / i = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ] / 0.11/12

51.42857 x 0.11/12 = 1 - 1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ

0.47143 = 1 - 1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ

1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ = 1 - 0.47143 = 0.52857

1 / 0.52857 = (1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ

1.89189 = 1.009167ⁿ

n = log 1.89189 / log 1.009167 = 0.2769 / 0.003963 = 69.87

n = 69.87 months

PVIFA = $180,000 / $4,000 = 45

PVIFA = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ ] / i = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ] / 0.11/12

45 x 0.11/12 = 1 - 1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ

0.4125 = 1 - 1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ

1/(1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ = 1 - 0.4125 = 0.5875

1 / 0.5875 = (1 + 0.11/12)ⁿ

1.70213 = 1.009167ⁿ

n = log 1.70213 / log 1.009167 = 0.23099 / 0.003963 = 58.29

n = 58.29 months

What is (are) the main problems in using a balance sheet to provide an accurate assessment of the value of a company's equity?
frez [133]

Answer:

A) Valuable assets such as the company's reputation, the quality of its work force, and the strength of its management are not captured on the balance sheet.

Explanation:

As we know that the balance sheet records the assets, liabilities and the equity of the company. Now the main problem with the balance sheet is that the valuable assets such as reputation of the company, work force quality, management strength would not captured here as it only records the monetary transactions.

Therefore the correct option is a.
