A financial manageress for a company is considering two competing investment proposals. For each of these proposals, she has car

ried out an analysis in which she has determined various net profit figures and has assigned subjective probabilities to the realization of these returns. For proposal A, her analysis shows net profits of GHȼ 20,000.00, GHȼ 30,000.00 or GHȼ 50,000.00 with respective probabilities 0.2, 0.4 and 0.4. For proposal B, she concludes that there is a 50% chance of successful investment, estimated as producing net profits of GHȼ 100,000.00, and of an unsuccessful investment, estimated as a break – even situation involving GHȼ 0.00 of net profit. Assuming that each proposal requires the same Ghana cedi investment, which of the two proposals is preferable solely from the standpoint of expected monetary return?

Answer:

Project B is preferable solely from the standpoint of expected monetary return.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculations of Expected Returns:

Project A:

Net Profits             Probability          Expected Returns:

GHȼ 20,000.00    0.2                      GHȼ 4,000

GHȼ 30,000.00    0.4                      GHȼ 12,000

GHȼ 50,000.00    0.4                      GHȼ 20,000

Total Expected Returns                   GHȼ 36,000

Project B:

Net Profits             Probability          Expected Returns:

GHȼ 100,000         0.5                      GHȼ 50,000

GHȼ 0.00               0.5                      GHȼ 0.00

Total Expected Returns                   GHȼ 50,000

Expected Returns are the returns or income which have been weighed with their probabilities of occurrence.  It is used to determine the best outcome given events that have different probabilities of occurring.   It is an important measure of returns which helps in deciding the best investment option to pursue.

Solve the proportion for x. 2/9=3/(x+2)
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

x as a fraction: 11\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x cannot be equal to −2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9(x+2), the least common multiple of 9,x+2.

2 ( x+ 2) = 9 x 3

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x + 2.

2x + 4 = 9 x 3

Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.

2x + 4 = 27

Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x = 27 - 4

Subtract 4 from 27 to get 23.

2x = 23

Divide both sides by 2.

x = \frac{23}{2}

Simplify

11\frac{1}{2}

What is the gradient of a line with an equation of 3x-2y-6=0​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Slope <em>m</em> = 3/2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3x - 2y - 6 = 0

<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>

<em>Find slope-intercept form</em>

  1. Subtract 3x on both sides:                    -2y - 6 = -3x
  2. Add 6 on both sides:                             -2y = -3x + 6
  3. Divide -2 on both sides:                         y = 3/2x - 3

<u>Step 3: Break Function</u>

<em>Identify Parts.</em>

Slope <em>m</em> = 3/2

y-intercept <em>b</em> = -3
