An object of interest to the end user is entity.

Explanation:

An entity is a real world object or thing that has an independent existence. Entity is distinguishable from the other objects. The attributes of an entity are the properties of the entity which make the entity distinguishable from the other objects.

The examples of entity are a car, a book or any other product. A set of an entity is known as the entity set. Entity may be an object with physical existence or it may be with a conceptual existence.

A fast-food restaurant has determined that the chance a customer will order a soft drink is 0.90. The proba- bility that a custo

azamat

Answer:

(a) The probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b) The probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

Explanation:

Let the events be denoted as follows:

S = an order of soft drink

H = an order of hamburger

F = an order of french fries.

Given:

P (S) = 0.90

P (H) = 0.60

P (F) = 0.50

(a)

It is provided that the event of ordering a soft drink and fries are independent.

If events A and B are independent then the probability of event (A ∩ B) is:

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

Compute the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries as follows:

$P(S\cap \bar F)=P(S)\times P(\bar F)\\=P(S)\times[1-P(F)]\\=0.90\times (1-0.50)\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b)

It is provided that the conditional probability that a customer will order fries given that he/she has already ordered a hamburger as, P (F|H) = 0.80.

The conditional probability of an event B given another event A has already occurred is:

$P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B}{P(A)}$

Compute the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries as follows:

$P(F|H)=\frac{P(H\cap F)}{P(H)}\\P(H\cap F)=P(F|H)\times P(H)\\=0.80\times 0.60\\=0.48$

Thus, the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

Elemental Pharma Inc. recently acquired Crick Pharmaceuticals Inc. It now sells its own productsalong with the products original

UNO [17]

Answer:

Option A. It will lower its costs through economies of scale.

At the end of a full year mary garber had $6248.95 in her saving account. If the rate of interest was 12.253%, how much money di

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

$5,566.84

Explanation:

to determine the amount of money that Mary had in her account at the beginning of the year we can use the resent value formula:

present value (PV) = future value (FV) / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ

where:

FV = $6,248.95
interest rate = 12.253%
n = 1

PV = $6,248.95 / (1 + 12.253%) = $6,248.95 / 1.12253 = $5,566.84

krok68 [10]

Answer:

a. Incremental analysis.

b. Sunk cost.

c. Relevant information.

d. Opportunity cost.

e. Joint products.

f. Out-of-pocket cost.

g. Split-off point.

Explanation:

a. Incremental analysis: examination of differences between costs to be incurred and revenue to be earned under different courses of action.

b. Sunk cost: a cost incurred in the past that cannot be changed as a result of future actions. Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered.

c. Relevant information: costs and revenue that are expected to vary, depending on the course of action decided on. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

d. Opportunity cost: the benefit foregone by not pursuing an alternative course of action. Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

e. Joint products: products made from common raw materials and shared production processes.

f. Out-of-pocket cost: a cost yet to be incurred that will require future payment and may vary among alternative courses of action.

g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.

useful life in years

since there is no residual value (scrape value) therefore, we divide 100,000

the answer we get 20000 per year depreciation. but the equipment is bought on 1st oct, and if assume that the year ends on Dec, 31 so it is measure for 3 month depreciation which is 5000.
