Professor von Nordenflycht presents Dean Kayande with two new proposals for offering a graduate certificate program. Both programs will cost $60,000, for classroom and instructor time. Both programs are projected to have two possible revenue outcomes. Program 1, which focuses on accounting, is projected to have a 50% chance of generating $150,000 in revenue and a 50% chance of generating $100,000 in revenue. Project 2, which focuses on cryptocurrencies, is predicted to have a 62.5% chance of generating $200,000 in revenue or, otherwise, generating no revenue!
a. What is the expected value of each program?
b. What is the variance of each program?
Triad Children's Center (TCC), a non-profit organization, uses relevant cost analysis to determine whether new services are desirable. TCC is looking at adding a new educational program for grade school children who are having difficulty with their reading and math skills. The following relevant costs are expected if the program is accepted:
Costs (per year)
Program Director salary
$
39,000
Part-time Assistants
$
28,000
Variable cost per child
$
900
TCC estimates that a maximum of 40 children will participate in this program in the first year. If TCC decides to implement this program, funding will be received from the City Chamber of Commerce ($50,000) and a local Private University Endowment Fund ($35,000).
Calculate the expected surplus or deficit from operations given the above information.

- Consider the following hypothetical sales scenario. A large community college buys and takes delivery of 50 iMac computers from a local Apple store. The invoiced price is $2,800 per unit and includes hardware, software essential to the functionality of the hardware, third-party software including Microsoft Office for Mac and Adobe Creative Suite, and two years of tech service and support. Apple uses vendor-specific objective evidence to determine unit prices of $2,500 and $300 for hardware and the essential software, respectively. The third-party software typically retails for $500 (but Apple purchases it at a 50% discount) and equivalent service and support contracts are $100 per year. The customer (the community college) can opt to purchase subsequent essential software and OS upgrades. Indicate how Apple should record gross revenue for the transaction at the time the customer takes delivery of the computers.
