Answer:

His expected outcome would be $1,100.

Explanation:

Expected outcome is the sum of the product of all the results and probabilities.

For this question, this can be calculated as follows:

Expected outcome = ($2000 * 0.3) + ($1500 * 0.1) + ($1000 + 0.2) + ($500 * 0.3) + ($0 * 0.1)

Expected outcome = $600 + $150 + $200 + $150 + $0

Expected outcome = $1,100

Therefore, his expected outcome would be $1,100.

Money borrowed = $30,000,000

Rate of interest = 9%

Time = 2 months

So, we can calculate the balance of loan interest payable by using following formula :

Balance of loan interest = ( Money borrowed × Rate of interest × Time ) / 12

= ( $30,000,000 × 9% × 2 months ) / 12

= $450,000

Hence, the balance of loan interest payable is $450,000.

2.  Store Purchases Dr. $1,180

    Accounts Payable Dr.$340  

   Supplies Account              Cr. $ 1,520

     

 Explanation:

1. The service revenue account was overstated and customer account understated. therefore by debiting service revenue and by crediting customer account, both have been restated at their actual position.

2. The accounts payable was overstated by $ 340 (1,180-1520).it is rectified by debiting with $ 340. Whereas the supplies account was wrongly debited therefore that impact of $1,520 reversed and actual store purchases debited with actual amount of $1,180
