Under Frost free conditions

The requirement is to determine what the probability of frost must be for Ball to be indifferent to spending $20,000 for frost protection.  In other words, you must find the point at which the cost of the frost protection equals the expected value of the loss from frost damage.  The table below summarizes the possible outcomes.

	Frost	Frost-free
Protected	$180,000 Market value	$1200,000 Market value
Unprotected	$80,000 Market value	$120,000 Market value

The difference between the market value of protected and unprotected strawberries if a frost were to occur is $100,000.  Since we want to determine the probability of a frost when the expected value of the loss from frost damage is $20,000, this probability can be calculated as follows:

Loss from damage	×	Probability of frost	=	Expected value of the loss
$100,000	×	P	=	$20,000   $20,000
		P	=	$100,000
		P	=	.200

Accounting Standards Setting Process

The accounting standards setting process are the steps and rules controlled by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The board engages the users of the financial statements as the investors and the creditors so as to create an understanding of their perspectives in relation to the intended standards. The users are then informed and educated on the proposed standards as their argument on possible effects on the financial reporting is considered. The collaborative involvement of these participants in the due process is mainly to input critiques and diverse opinions in the standard setting process to increase the validity of the standards setting process.
