sattari [20]

Answer:

It may lead to groupthink.

It may affect the message's clarity.

Explanation:

Collaborative business message writing has to do with when a group of people creates a project or business message together rather than doing it individually.

Groupthink describes when a group sets asides their personal belief to get a consensus within a group and this can lead to bad decisions as members of the group can sidestep problems in order to fit into a group's decisions.

The clarity of the message can be affected because the different members of the group all have different ideas and would try to sacrifice some of their ideas for the group.

Ivanhoe Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2017, at a cost of $77,980. The company estimated that the machine has a s

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Depreciation for

2017 = $2,540

2018 = $10,160

Explanation:

Provided, Total cost of the machine = $77,980

Estimated salvage value = $6,860

Therefore, value to be depreciated = $77,980 - $6,860 = $71,120

Total life of asset = 7 years

Depreciation for the year 2017 = October to December = 3 months

$\frac{71,120}{7} \times \frac{3}{12} = $2,540$

Depreciation for the year 2018 = $\frac{71,120}{7}$ = $10,160

Under straight line method depreciation is fixed for each year, but in the given case in 2017 the asset is used only for 3 months, thus depreciation will be charged for 3 months only.

Final Answer

Depreciation for

2017 = $2,540

2018 = $10,160

The number of customers who enter a bank is thought to be Poisson distributed with a mean equal to 10 per hour. What are the cha

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The probability that 2 or 3 customers will arrive in a 15-minute period is 0.4703

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to determine the segment unit, since the mean is 10 per hour, the segment unit is 1 hour.

The mean(m) = 10

since the period is 15 minutes = 0.25 hour, t= 0.25 hour / 1 hour. Therefore mt= 2*10 = 2.5

The poisson distribution formula P(x) = $\frac{(mt)^{x}e^{-mt} }{x!}$

Therefore the probability that 2 or 3 customers will arrive in a 15-minute period

P(x=2) or P(x=3) = P(x=2) + P(x=3) = $\frac{(2.5)^{2}e^{-2.5} }{2!}+\frac{(2.5)^{3}e^{-2.5} }{3!}$ = 0.2565 + 0.2138 = 0.4703

Therefore P(x=2) or P(x=3) = 0.4703

The probability that 2 or 3 customers will arrive in a 15-minute period is 0.4703
