Answer:

$154,182.02

Explanation:

Probability of Farm workers in ( O.F ) facing death at work = 1/85 = 0.012

Probability of Farm workers in ( V.F ) facing death at work = 1/127 = 0.008

Value of a statistical life = $1,262,558

<u>Determine how much  the workers in less risky job should get paid </u>

The less risky job is working in Valley farm(V.F ) with a death probability of = 1/127 = 0.008

The more risky job is working in valley farm ( probability = 1/85 = 0.012 )

Yearly wage of risky job = $159106

payment for less risky job can be calculated using the relation below

statistical life = ( cost incurred to reduce risk) / ( percentage of risk to death reduced )  ---------------- ( 1 )

cost incurred to reduce risk =  yearly wage to high risk workers - yearly wage to low risk workers

 =  159106 - X

percentage of risk to death reduced = (probability of death to high risk workers) - ( probability of death to low risk worker )

= 1/85 - 1/127 = 0.0039

back to relation 1

1262558 = ( 159106 - X ) / ( 0.0039)

159106 - X = 1262558 ( 0.0039 )

hence X ( amount to be paid to workers in the less risky job )

X = 159106 - 4923.9762 = $154,182.02

If your budget allowed you extra money for this month, would you choose to consume, invest, or save that money? Why? Be specific
ruslelena [56]
Personally, I would choose to save that money. The reason why is you never know - maybe something bad is going to happen and you will need that extra cash. So instead of splurging it on material things, it's better to save it for a rainy day, in my opinion. Investing is not safe, given that you may lose a lot more than you invest.

A purchase of equipment for $18,000 also involved freight charges of $500 and installation costs of $2,500. The estimated salvag
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$4,750

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

where,

Original cost = $18,000 + $500 + $2,500 = $21,000

And, the other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= ($21,000 - $2,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($19,000) ÷ (4 years)  

= $4,750
