Answer:

18 years

Explanation:

We can apply the future value formula as below

A = P x ( 1 + r) ^ n

where A is the amount: $100

P= principal amount : $50

r=4% or 0.04

n = ??

Therefore

$100 = $50 x ( 1+ 0.04)^n

$100 = $50( 1.04)^n

1.04^n =$100/$50

1.04^n= 2

n =log 2/ log 1.04

n=0.30102999/0.0170333

n=17.67 years

=18 years

You must pick one of two​ wagers, for an outcome based on flipping a fair coin. 1. You win ​$440 if it comes up heads and lose ​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Expected value is the sum of the products of the probability and payoff of each.

<u>Wager 1:</u>

probability of heads and tails, both is 0.5

Win = 440

Loose = 110

So,

Expected Value = 440(0.5) + (-110)(0.5) = 220 - 55 = $165

<u>Wager 2:</u>

Similar to wager 1

Win = 770

Loose = 220

So,

Expected value = 770(0.5) + (-220)(0.5) = 385 - 110 = $275

2nd wager is better, in this sense.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

B) = $38.44

Explanation:

<em>Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.</em>

Activity rate is calculated as:

<em>Activity cost for the period / Total cost drivers for the period</em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers:</em></u>

<em>The appropriate cost driver to allocate supporting customer activity is the number of customers as given.  This is so because it is most likely that the number of customers served will be a major factor that influences the supporting customers activity costs. </em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers </em></u>

= Supporting customers overhead/total number of customers

= $34,600/(600+300)

= $38.44
