Answer:

The answer is "\frac{2}{15}" .

Explanation:

\to x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\\\\\to p(x) \ for \ x  \ =   0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 0\\\\ \to c, 2c, 3c , 4c, 5c = 1\\\\\to 0 + c + 2c + 3c + 4c + 5c = 1\\\\\to 15c = 1\\\\\to c = \frac{1}{15}\\

\to p(x) \ for \ x  \ =   0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 0\\\\ \to \frac{1}{15}, \frac{2}{15}, \frac{3}{15}, \frac{4}{15}, \frac{5}{15}  

\to P(X=2)=\frac{2}{15}

On January 1, 2018, Burleson Corporation’s projected benefit obligation was $48 million. During 2018 pension benefits paid by th
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$59.8 million.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year, the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) was $48 million, however, during the year this amount was affected by several factors that are explained in the problem statement: the service cost ($13 million), the interest costs (defined by a discount rate of 10%) and the pension benefits paid by the company ($6 million).

To understand how it was modified exactly, first, we will do a theoretical analysis and then present it more <em>graphically</em> as a financial statement.

1. Theoretical analysis

Firstly, a Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) is a measure that reflects how much a company needs at the present time (December 31, 2018) to cover future pension liabilities. We know that the year began with a PBO of $48 million. However, this amount must be added to the service costs ($13 million), which is the increase in the present value of the liabilities, because the employees have completed another year in the company and that implies an increase in their pension credit.  

Therefore, so far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 million. To this amount must be added the interest cost which is the annual interest amount on the unpaid balance of the PBO. In this case, an interest rate of 10% is handled. Therefore the amount of interest is equal to $48 million (original PBO) * 10% = 4.8 million.

So far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 + $4.8 = $65.8 million

Finally, the pension benefits paid by the trustee during 2018 should be subtracted, since they are a partial payment of the PBO.

Therefore, we have: $65.8 - $6 = $59.8

2. As a financial statement.

Consumption spending is $4.5 billion, gross private domestic investment is $3 billion, and government expenditures are $2 billio
masha68 [24]

Answer:

exports are $15 billion, and imports are $10.5 billion

Explanation:

GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

GDP = Consumption + Investment spending + Government Spending + Net Export

14 billion = 4.5 billion + $3 billion + $2 billion + Net Export

Net Export = $4.5 billion

Net Export = export - import

Net Export is positive so it indicates that exports is greater than imports.

Going through the options, it is only option d that is equal to 4.5 and the export is greater than the import.

I hope my answer helps you

If the minority price for a single share of stock of a company is $20, if there are 500 thousand shares of stock, and a person o
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$4,500,000

Explanation:

current market price per stock $20

total stocks outstanding 500,000

corporation's total value = 500,000 x $20 = $10,000,000

investor's offer to purchase 100% at $14,500,000

controlling interest premium = $14,500,000 - $10,000,000 = $4,500,000

new price per stock = $14,500,000 / 500,000 = $29

The controlling interest premium equals the difference between the current market price of the stock and the purchase offer.
