Answer: work hard; $65; less; $85

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

The Expected profit from working hard will be:

= (90% × $200) + (10% × $50)

= (0.9 × $200) + (0.1 × $50)

= $180 + $5

= $185

Then, the profit will be the difference between revenue and coat which will be:

= $185 - $100

= $85

Then, the expected profit from shirking will be:

= (90% × $50) + (10% × $200)

= (0.90 × $50) + (0.10 × $200)

= $45 + $20

= $65

Then, the profit will be:

= $65 - $0

= $65

Eric will (work hard) because the net gain of ($65) from shirking is (less) than the net gain of ($85) from working hard.

Alika [10]

Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

Money received as scholarship and used to pay for tuition or related expenses is not included in the gross income. So the $1,000 scholarship from the Thespian Club and the $4,000 scholarship from the Elks Lodge are not taxable. The only taxable income that Henry earned is the $5,000 that he was paid for being a dorm supervisor.
