I am a rational and risk-averse person, and I have an option of making the following bet: I receive $500 cash, after which I rol

l a normal 6-sided die. Whatever I roll, I must pay $200 times the value of the roll of the die (so if make the bet and roll a ‘2’, I get $500, then have to pay out $400, thus I win $100 in total). 10. If my goal is to maximize my personal utility, should I accept this bet, and does my exact level risk aversion affect whether or not I should accept the bet? I should accept the bet; the precise level of my risk aversion does not matter I should not accept the bet; the precise level of my risk aversion does not matter I should not accept the bet; the precise level of my risk aversion does matter There is not enough information to determine whether I should accept the bet or not; the precise level of my risk aversion does matter

Answer:

I should not accept the bet; the precise level of risk aversion does matter.

Explanation:

Risk averse person is the one who is not willing to take the risk even if he is given high returns. Risk averse person will always avoid the risks. In the given scenario the person is risk averse. If he rolls out the dice he has to pay $200 times the dice number which means he just have two chance (dice rolls 1 or dice rolls 2) for getting return otherwise he will loose the bet and he will have to pay money from the pocket.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Administrative activities, such as archiving project files, closing out contracts, documenting lessons learned, and receiving formal acceptance of the delivered work as part of the phase or project, are often involved in closing.

Explanation:

A project is any exercise by an individual or group that has been carefully designed to achieve a certain future goal. A project needs to take into a account various strategies for it to actually achieve what was originally set out in the goals. A project that achieves its goals can be described as a successful project. Most undertakers of a project always wish for their project to be successful, since a project always involves investment in terms of finance, human resources and time. The amount of investment in a project depends on the scope and level of complexity of the project. Vast complex projects usually require for them to be broken down into different phases to make them simple in understanding and execution.

For projects to be successful, one needs to find a way in which the resources going into the project are dealt with in such a way that the direction of the project is in line with the project goals. This is what is defined as project management and it has different phases. The phases of project management are;

1. Initiating: this deals with the planning phases of the project where the goals are set and the project needs are determined. This phase deals with determining the procedure for project execution.

2. Executing; once all the project needs have been determined and purchased, they are put to work.

3. Monitoring and controlling: in this stage, the workings of the project are checked if they have attained the standards stated.

4. Closing: in this stage, administrative activities, such as archiving project files, closing out contracts, documenting lessons learned, and receiving formal acceptance of the delivered work as part of the phase or project is done.

Lori, head of Accounting, refused to sign Brian’s parental leave request. Brian is seeking 12 weeks of paid leave to care for hi
Setler79 [48]

No,Brain cannot able sue for wrongful termination and prevail for parental leave request

Explanation:

As per the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 requires 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually for the employees who delivered a new born baby. Under this law, legal parents are protected for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year. The act ensures the job security of parents/employees but does not protect employees who go on paid leave with their employers.

The law clearly states that .,only unpaid leave can be taken by the employees as parental leave for 12 weeks. But in this situation Brain ask Lori for paid leave  which is cannot be availed as per law.So Lori has the rights to refuse to sign Brian’s parental leave request.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$60.75

Explanation:

your question seems incomplete. here is the full question used in answering this question

Free Spirit Industries Inc. is considering a project that will have fixed costs of $10,000,000. The product will be sold for $41.50 per unit, and will incur a variable cost of $10.75 per unit. p na r so Free Spirit's marketing and sales director doesn't think that the firm's market is big enough for the firm to break even. In fact, she believes that the firm will be able to sell only about 200,000 units. However, she also thinks that the demand for Free Spirit's product is relatively inelastic (so the firm can increase the sales price without significantly decreasing the volume of product sold). Assuming that the firm can sell 200,000 units, what price must it set to break even? O $57.71 per unit O $72.90 per unit O $60.75 per unit O $66.83 per unit

Breakeven price = (fixed cost / quantity sold) + variable price per unit

($10,000,000 / 200,000) + $10.75 = $60.75
