Answer:
Since the expected value is higher for not suing ($600,000), then Jay should not sue. The expected value of the best case scenario in case of suing is only $500,000 and in the expected value of the worst case scenario is -$37,500.
Explanation:
he decides to not sue = expected value $600,000
he decides to sue:
50% chance of winning
expected value
- $2,000,000 x 50% x 50% = $500,000
- $500,000 x 50% x 50% = $125,000
50% chance of losing
- expected value = -$75,000 x 50% = -$37,500
Answer:
Acme's current balance of accounts payable is $6000
Explanation:
The closing balance of accounts payable can be calculated using the opening balance and adjusting the changes during the period to the opening balance.
The closing balance can thus be calculated as:
Closing balance = Opening balance + Credit purchases - Payment to Accounts payable
Closing balance = 3000 + 4000 - 1000
Closing balance = $6000

Answer:
= $132,000.
Explanation:
There are two types of fixed costs, general fixed cost and specific fixed cost.
<u><em>General fixed costs </em></u><em>are those that cannot be traced to a specific product rather they are incurred for the benefit of all of the product being produced. For example,the rent of the factory where three products are being produced</em>
So they are unavoidable should a product be ceased for production that is they would still be incurred either way.
<u>S</u><u><em>pecific fixed costs </em></u><em>are those incurred specifically for a particular product and as such they would be saved should the product be discontinued. For example , if a special machine that cost $4000 a month to rent is used to produce a product. The $4000 would be saved should the production of the product ceases</em>
The net operating cost of the company would increase by the amount of the avoidable specific fixed cost:
=$90,000 + $42,000
= $132,000.
Answer:

c. It will decrease
d. it will increase.
Explanation:
If the price of an input needed for production of good X decreases, the cost of production of good X reduces. It becomes cheaper to produce good X and and as a result the supply of good X would increase.
An increase in tax increases the cost of production and makes production of good X more expensive. As a result, the supply of good X would fall.
technological change that reduces the cost of producing additional units of good X, would make the production of good X less expensive. As a result, the supply of good X would increase
