Katarina [22]2 years ago

Answer:

Imagine you have just flicked a lighter. If you don’t see the flame, you will naturally try a second time. If after the second attempt it does not strike a flame, you will repeat your action again and again until it does. Eventually, you’ll see the flame and you’ll know that your lighter works. But what if it doesn’t? How long are you going to flick the lighter until you decide to give up?

Our everyday life is full of such decision dilemmas and uncertainty. We constantly have to choose between options, whether we make the most ordinary decisions – should I continue flicking this lighter? – or life-changing choices – should I leave this relationship? We can either keep on doing what we are already used to do, or risk unexplored options that could turn out much more valuable.

Some people are naturally inclined to take more chances, while others prefer to hold on to what they know best. Yet being curious and explorative is fundamental for humans and animals to find out how best to harvest resources such as water, food or money. While looking at the Belém Tower – a symbol of Portugal’s great maritime discoveries – from my office window, I often wonder what drives people to explore the unknown and what goes on in their brains when weighing pros and cons for trying something new. To answer these questions, together with Dr. Zachary Mainen and his team of neuroscientists, we investigate how the brain deals with uncertainty when making decisions.

Explanation:

It is well known that the decision-making process results from communication between the prefrontal cortex (working memory) and hippocampus (long-term memory). However, there are other regions of the brain that play essential roles in making decisions, but their exact mechanisms of action still are unknown.

.Grannis Corporation purchased land in order to construct a new factory . Expenditures incurred by the company were as follows:
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The amount recorded in the Land account is $61,200    

Explanation:

The cost of acquisition/purchase of a landed asset includes all the normal, reasonable and necessary costs incurred in obtaining the land and getting it ready for use. These cost includes the price of the land, the legal fees, title fees, taxes, excavation costs etc. On the other hand, cost of improvements on the land are recorded on improvement on asset accounts, where depreciation is put in consideration when computing cost. This is separate from acquisition cost because, there is no depreciation on a land. The cost is calculated as follows:

purchase price = $ 45,000

broker's fees    = $   8,000

accrued taxes  = $    2,000

demolition        = $    2,700

grading             = $    1,500

excavation       =  $    2,000

Total                 =  $ 61,200

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The answer is: Breakpoint Sale

Explanation:

A breakpoint sale  violation occurs when a RR sells mutual fund shares to a client and doesn't disclose reduced sales charges that the client would qualify for if they had bought just a few more shares. In this case the client could have qualified for a discount if he had just bought one more share, and could have saved money instead of paying higher charges.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Net Income = $28,070

Explanation:

As for the provided details:

Balances as on December 31, 2014

Cash = $70,050

Accounts Receivables = $40,000

Inventory = $77,000

Total Assets = $187,050

Accounts Payable = $13,600

Note Payable = $3,400

Interest payable = $180

Total Liabilities = $17,180

Common Stock = $70,900 + $70,900 = $141,800

Retained earnings = $28,070

Total Stockholder's Equity = $169,870

Total of Equity and Liabilities = $187,050

Now, since it is the first year of operations, the balance of retained earnings in beginning = $0.

Also no dividend is paid, therefore, net income for the year shall be

Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividend = Closing Retained Earnings

$0 + Net Income - $0 = $28,070

Thus, Net Income = $28,070
