Ashley Combs · Answer 1

correct option is C) $70,000.

Explanation:

given data

chance event = 75%

result of consideration to Lewis = $100,000

chance event = 25%

result of consideration to Lewis = $40,000

solution

we get here amount of uncertain consideration that is

amount = (75% x $100,000) + (25% x $40,000)

amount = $85000

so that answer b that likely amount is $100,000 but here we have not an appropriate estimate of the amount is $C) $70,000
