Answer:

a)  0.0358

b)  0.0395

c)  0.1506

Explanation:

Number of clues "daily doubles" = 3

Determine the probabilities

<u>a) P(single contestant finds all three ) </u>

assuming event A= a returning champion gets the "daily double" in first trial

P(A) = 1/30 , P(~A) = 29/30              

assuming event B = any player picks up "daily double" after the first move

P(B |~A ) = 1/3

hence : P ( B and ~A ) = 29/30 * 1/3 = 29/90

<em>considering second round </em>

P(player chooses both daily doubles ) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

∴ P(single contestant finds all three )  = 29/90 * 1/9 = 0.0358

<u>B) P ( returning champion gets all three ) </u>

= (1/30 + 29/90 )* 1/9

= 32 / 810 = 0.0395

<u>c) P ( each player selects only one )</u>

P = 32/405 + 29/405

  = 61 / 405 = 0.1506

barxatty [35]

Option C

An increase in the real wage would result in a: movement along the labor demand curve, causing a decrease in the number of workers hired by the firm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wage rate is circumscribed by the crossing of supply and demand for labor. The demand curve depends on the marginal product of labor and the cost of the good labor originates.

A variation in the wage or payroll will end in a shift in the amount necessitated of labor. If the wage rate increases, organizations will require to hire fewer employees. The quantity of labor demanded will decline, and there will be a movement skyward on the demand curve.

kirill [66]

Answer:

Decrease in income by $227,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the change in the income in the case when the east territory is eliminated is shown below;

= -Sales + Direct cost + fixed cost - salary per year

= -$980,000 + $343,000 + ($450,000 - $40,000)

= -$980,000 + $343,000 + $410,000

= -$227,000

Hence, the amount of the change in the income in the case when the east territory is eliminated is -$227,000

Decrease in income by $227,000

Plutonic Inc. had $400 million in taxable income for the current year. Plutonic also had an increase in deferred tax liabilities
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Increase of 130 million

Explanation:

In this question, we are looking to evaluate what has happened to change in deferred tax assets. We proceed as follows;

Firstly, we calculate the current tax.

Mathematically = 40% of 400 million = 40/100 * 400 million = 160 million

Now, as we can see in the question, a decrease in deferred tax asset resulted in an increase in tax expense to a tune of $50 million

This brings the total tax expense to 160 million + 50 million = 210 million

We can see from the question that the company has only recognized a tax expense of $80 million.

This means that the change in deferred tax asset was an increase of 210 million- 80 million = $130 million

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: A.) $32.64 per machine hour

Explanation:

Given the following :

Estimated machine hours = 41,000 machine hours

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead = $4.16 per machine hour

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead = $1,167,680

Total Estimated manufacturing overhead :

(Estimated total variable manufacturing overhead + Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead)

Estimated total variable manufacturing overhead:

$4.16 × estimated hours

= $4.16 × 41,000

= $170560

Total Estimated manufacturing overhead :

$170560 + $1,167,680 = $1338240

Hence,

Predetermined overhead rate :

Total Estimated manufacturing overhead / estimated hours

= $1338240 / 41000

=$32.64
