On march 17th, pinny sporting goods accepted a credit card purchase for $900. the credit card company charges a 2% service fee. the entry to record this transaction would include a a : debit to service charge expense of $18. b : credit to service charge expense of $18. c : credit to cash of $882. d : debit to cash of $900.

A : debit to Service Charge Expense of $18.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, one should calculate the value, in dollars of the credit card service fee

Fee = 2% x $900 = $18.

Since this fee is classified as "money coming out" of the account, the entry to a record of this transaction should include a debit to Service Charge Expense of $18.

The correct answer is alternative A.

*The whole purchase amount ($900) should be credited and the service expense should be debited, unlike alternative C, which merges both entries into one.

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
