Answer:
- Receiving five cents for recycling glass bottles
- Parking fines for illegal parking
- Tax breaks for 401(k) retirement contributions checked
Explanation:
Recycling is good for the environment and also means companies spending less because they wouldn't have to reproduce the recycle material from scratch. Paying a person money for recycling the glass bottles is an incentive that is meant to encourage them to do it more.
Not all incentives are positive however. Some are negative and aimed at reducing a behavior. Fining people for illegal parking is an example as the logic is that the offending party will think of the fines the next time they want to park illegally and refrain from it.
Offering tax breaks to a person in order to get them to save is an incentive because they are being offered to keep more of their money if they save more.
Answer:
Expected rate of return on stock is 14.86%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return of a stock is the mean return that is expected to be earned by the stock considering the different scenarios that can occur, the return in these scenarios and the probability of the occurrence of these scenarios. The formula for expected rate of return of stock is,
rE = pA * rA + pB * rB + ... + pN * rN
Where,
- pA, pB, ... represents the probability that scenario A, B and so on will occur or the probability of each scenario
- rA, rB, ... represents the return in scenario A, B and so on
rE = 0.21 * 0.2 + 0.72 * 0.15 + 0.07 * -0.02
rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%
Answer:
8,955 units
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales in July = 9,500
Sales in August = 10,200
Sales in September = 6,050
Ending finished goods inventory = 30% of the next month's sale
Budgeted production units for August:
= Sales + Closing inventory - Opening inventory
= Sales + (30% of September sales) - (30% of August sales)
= 10,200 + (0.3 × 6,050) - (0.3 × 10,200)
= 10,200 + 1,815 - $3,060
= 8,955 units

Explanation:
Calculation for the reported profit for the first year of the contract
Using this formula
Reported profit=(BB Costs/Project cost estimate)×(Building contract-Project cost estimate)
Let plug in the formula
Reported profit = ($30 million / $75 million)×($100 million – $75 million)

Reported profit= $10 million
Therefore the reported profit for the first year of the contract will be $10 million
