Let's think about billions by looking at Bill Gates, president of Microsoft. One year, his personal wealth grew by $20 billion.

Suppose he was working by the hour, like working at a fast food place, but with a higher wage. Suppose he saw a $100 bill at his feet, if his salary were docked for the time it would take him to pick it up, should he stop work and take the time to pick up the $100 bill?

Answer:

No, he should <u>not</u> pick up the $100 bill

Explanation:

If his salary were those $20 billion (20,000,000,000) by a year. Let's find out how much this is by a second.

First let's find out how much is that salary by <em>a day</em>, then by <em>an hour</em>, then by <em>a minute</em> and finally by <em>a second</em>.

\frac{20,000,000,000}{year}*(\frac{1 year}{365d})*(\frac{1d}{24h})*(\frac{1}{60min} )*(\frac{1min}{60s} )  \\\\  =\frac{20,000,000,000}{365*24*60*60} \\ \\ =\frac{20,000,000,000}{31,536,000} \\ \\ =634.19

So he would be losing money if he picks up the $100 bill, because he would be missing 634 dollars per second.

A random sample of 30 lunch orders at noodles and company showed a mean bill of $10.36 with a standard deviation of $5.31. find
Paladinen [302]

The formula for calculating the Confidence Interval is as follows:

Confidence Interval = x +- (z*s)/√N

Where:

x = mean = 10.36

z = taken from standard normal distribution table based on 95% confidence level = 1.96

s = standard deviation = 5.31

N = sample size = 30

Substituting know values on the equation:

Confidence Interval = 10.36 +- ( 1.96 * 5.31) / √30

Confidence Interval = 8.46 and 12.26

Hence the bill of lunch orders ranges from 8.46 to 12.26.

b) College course.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Costs/Benefits

                           College Course          Community Course

Cost                              $2,600                         $1,390

Opportunity costs         -2,080                          2,080

Net costs                         $520                        $3,470

Distance to course      0.40 miles                    16 miles

                                  (walking distance)      (driving distance)

Timing of course          Weekday                     Weekend

Number of meetings    16                                 8

b) With the College course option, you will earn $2,080 ($260 * 8) weekdays to offset part of the enrollment cost.  With the Community course option, $2,080 will be lost in opportunity cost, thereby increasing the total costs incurred.  These costs are apart from the driving costs associated with traveling 16 miles to the Community Course at the local library.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A detailed list of the accounts that make up the five financial statement elements.

Explanation:

The company's chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts that the company has included as part of the five financial statement elements during a specific period of time.

The five financial statement elements are: assets, liabilities, equity (part of the balance sheet), expenses and revenues (part of the income statement).

Examples of accounts that can be part of a firm's chart of accounts are: land (asset), cash (asset), notes payable (liabilities), outstanding stock (equity), operating expenses (expenses), and sales revenue (revenues).

The chart of accounts can differ greatly from company to company simply because companies engage in vastly different economic activities.
