Three students want to open an ice cream business next summer. Max thinks that demand will be high and they should purchase a large stand and acquire premium ice cream equipment. Minnie feels that demand will be low and that they should purchase a tarp and some basic hand tools to make the ice cream. Midsy is pretty sure that demand will fall in-between these two extremes, so they can get by with a shack and a used ice cream machine. You are their business consultant and estimated the following costs, revenues, and probabilities of each level of demand in the table shown below. What is the expected profit for this venture?

Suppose an environmental agency would like to investigate the relationship between the engine size of sedans, x, and the miles per gallon (MPG), y, they get. The accompanying table shows the engine size in cubic liters and rated miles per gallon for a selection of sedans. The regression line for the data is y hat=36.7920−4.1547x.

At a certain coffee shop, all the customers buy a cup of coffee and some also buy a doughnut. The shop owner believes that the number of cups he sells each day is normally distributed with a mean of 330 cups and a standard deviation of 23 cups. He also believes that the number of doughnuts he sells each day is independent of the coffee sales and is normally distributed with a mean of 170 doughnuts and a standard deviation of 13. Complete parts a) through c).
Question: The shop is open every day but Sunday. Assuming day-to-day sales are independent, what's the probability he'll sell over 2000 cups of coffee in a week? _____________ (round to three decimals as needed.)
Question: Whats the probability that on any given day he'll sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee customers ? ___________ (round to three decimal places as needed).

Assets such as receivables, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment are the key resources used to help an organization generate revenue. Select a specific asset within these three types and discuss how a company can use this to generate revenue. select the asset account of Coca-Cola. Provide an illustration/example of a transaction that would occur from the organization generating revenue. Clearly describe an example and reflect both the debit and credit entries one would record. Then, explain how those entries (both the debit and the credit) affect the income statement and the balance sheet. Then describe how the transaction generates revenue for Coca-Cola.
Discussion post: First, provide a description of each
of the accounts noted in the topic and explain what each one
represents. Second, provide the illustration/example, and third,
explain how it represents the generation of revenue. 2-3
