What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

<u>Explanation:</u>

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

$P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}$

$P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}$

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

$P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}$

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

$= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700} + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37$

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

Which of the following statements is true?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

These statements are true:

A) The Federal Reserve does not set the Federal funds rate, but it influences it through the use of open market operations:

For example, at the very moment the Fed funds rate is 1.75%. If the Fed wanted to raise it to 2%, it would have to do so through the use of open market operations (in this case, because it wants to raise the rate, it would have to sell securities in order to reduce the money supply).

C) The Federal Reserve sets the target for the Federal funds rate, and then uses the reserve ratio to push banks toward that target.

Reserve requirements are perhaps the most powerful, and least often used, monetary policy tool that the Fed has at its disposal. It is very powerful because it directly increases or decreases the money supply.

For example, if the Fed wants to increase the fed funds rate, it can raise the reserve ratio so that banks keep more money in reserves, have less money to loan, and in consequence, create less money, causing the money supply to shrink and the fed funds rate to rise accordingly.

D) The Federal Reserve sets the Federal funds rate.

Correct. More specifically, the Federal Open Market Committee, which meets eight times a year to set the target for the fed funds rate.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1. Notes receivable A/c Dr $450,000

To Cash A/c $450,000

(Being the notes receivable acceptance is recorded)

2. Interest receivable A/c Dr $40,500

To Interest revenue $40,500

(Being the interest is collected)

Interest = Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)

= $450,000 × 12% × (9 months ÷ 12 months)

= $40,500

The 3 months is calculated from April 1 to December 31

3. Cash A/c Dr $504,000

To Notes receivable A/c $450,000

To Interest receivable A/c $40,500

To Interest revenue A/c $13,500

(Being cash collected recorded)

Interest revenue = Principal × rate of interest × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)

= $450,000 × 12% × (3 months ÷ 12 months)

= $13,500

The 3 months is calculated from December 31 to April 1

Theresa Corporation, which manufactures baskets, is developing direct labor standards. The basic direct labor rate is $21.00

wel

Answer:

Standard rate per direct labor hour is $27.1

Explanation:

Standard rate per direct labor hour includes the hourly pay rate, Payroll taxes and fringe benefits. For Theresa Corporation,

We have given that

Basic direct labor rate is $21.00 per hour

Payroll Taxes is 10% of basic direct labor rate i.e. 10% of $21.00 = $2.10 per hour

Fringe Benefits is $4.00 per hour.

So Standard rate per direct labor hour = $21.00 + $2.10 + $4.00 = $27.1
