Answer:

X      |    100000      -250

P(X)  |     0.0015     0.9985

E(X)= \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And substituting in gives us:

E(X) =100000*0.0015 -250*0.9985= -99.625

Explanation:

This scenario defines the random variable X as Mike's wife's profit on the specific one-year life insurance policy.

Given that the company charges $250 for a one-year $100,000 life insurance policy, and knowing the probability of Mike living for a year is 0.9985, we find the chance he will not live for the year as 1 - 0.9985 = 0.0015.

Thus, the probability distribution is represented as follows:

X      |    100000      -250

P(X)  |     0.0015     0.9985

Now we can compute the expected value for that year:

E(X)= \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And replacing provides:

E(X) =100000*0.0015 -250*0.9985= -99.625

arsen [2933]

Answer:

Retained profits.

Explanation:

This typically happens when a business funds its operations through earnings generated from the sale of goods or services.

The income that Carol's Clothiers earns from the sales it conducts, referred to as retained earnings, acts as the main source of capital for expanding their operations.

Furthermore, as an LLP (limited liability partnership), where certain or all partners may have restricted responsibilities, they can utilize their retained earnings to provide dividends to shareholders or to repurchase shares.

Carlos is risk-neutral and has an ancient farmhouse with great character for sale in Slaterville Springs. His reservation price
Free_Kalibri [3125]

Answer:

The question lacks completeness; the following addition would enhance it:

"If Realtors require a 5 percent commission on the sale price and every Realtor faces opportunity costs of $2,000 to negotiate a sale, will Carlos opt to hire a Realtor? If he does, how will the overall economic surplus change?"

The result is that the total economic surplus rose from $20,000 to $248,000.

Explanation:

It is essential to grasp the concepts of marginal cost, marginal benefit, and asymmetric information. Marginal cost refers to the additional cost incurred from utilizing one more unit of a resource, while marginal benefit signifies the advantage gained from that investment. Asymmetric information arises when one side in a transaction possesses more information than the other.

Carlos's reservation price stands at $130,000. He intends to sell for $140,000 to Whitney, whose reservation price is $150,000. Thus, Carlos enjoys a surplus of 140,000 - 130,000 = $10,000, and Whitney has a surplus of 150,000 - 140,000 = $10,000. Consequently, the total economic surplus amounts to $20,000.

Should Carlos enlist a realtor, who charges 5% if the property is sold for $300,000 to someone with a reservation price of $350,000, the surplus would be calculated as:

5% × 300,000 - 2000 = $13,000.

Here, the surplus equals 300,000 - 130,000 + 15,000 = $185,000.

Hence, the buyer's surplus is:

350,000 - 300,000 = $50,000.

Thus, the total economic surplus has increased from $20,000 to $248,000.

David N. gets $3 per week as an allowance to spend any way he pleases. Because he likes only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,
Nady [2919]

Response:

The answer to the question is provided below.

Analysis:

(a) What quantities of peanut butter and jelly will David purchase with his $3 weekly allowance?

It is stated that David prefers 2 ounces of peanut butter for each ounce of jelly, thus

2Pb = J, and the budget constraint can be expressed as 0.05Pb + 0.1J = 3.

Using substitution,

David will acquire Pb = 30 ounces, J = 15 ounces.

30(0.05) + 15(0.10) = 3

(b) If the cost of jelly rises to $0.15 per ounce, what quantities of each item would he purchase?

If pj = $0.15,

24(0.05) + 12(0.15) = 3

Using substitution, we find J = 12 ounces, Pb = 24 ounces.
