The annual revenues collected in each of the past ten years for the Orange County Solid Waste Division are provided below. If the revenue total for 2014 is $42,843,901, which revenue projection method (SMA, TMA, or regression) is the most accurate in this case? Use APE to justify your answer. Use the last three years of revenues for moving averages and all years for regression

Deaths from all Causes

Fill-in the tables below with the following information for each of the age groups:

• Number of deaths from all causes
• Number of deaths from accidents (unintentional injuries)
• Cause-specific death rate for accidents (unintentional injuries)

Calculate the age-specific all cause death rates for each group and the proportionate mortality ratio (PMR) for accidents (unintentional injuries).

TABLE A

TABLE B

1. Comment on the differences you observe across age groups among the different measures of mortality (keep the ratios in mind) in Table B

2. Calculate and interpret the all-cause mortality rate for 2006.

3. What do the measures in Table B tell you about the risk of death from accidents (unintentional injuries) in each age group?

4. Explain why each measure of mortality in Table B is or is not a good indicator of risk.

e. Assuming the following information is accurate, calculate the case-fatality rate for accidents in 2006.

Selected Formulas

Age-specific death rate = # of deaths per age stratum/

        Population per age stratum

Accident-specific death rate = # of deaths from accidents per age stratum/

                                         Population per age stratum

Accident case-fatality rate = # of deaths from accidents per age stratum/

                                Total # of accidents per age stratum

Mortality Rate = __# of deaths___/

        Population at Risk

Proportionate Mortality Ratio = # of deaths from accidents per age stratum/

(a) Use Excel, MegaStat, or MINITAB to fit three trends (linear, quadratic, exponential) to the time series. (A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round the intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

(b) Use each of the three fitted trend equations to make numerical forecasts for the next 3 years. (Round the intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and round your final answers to 1 decimal place.)

Similar to the previous assignment, you’re going to read in the number of years the player played and the starting year of that player – followed by the statistics for those years. This time, however, you’re going to print out the years from worst to best in sorted order. Hint: this will require a second array to store years. If you can sort one array, can you sort both? Sample Output #1: Enter the number of years: 5

Enter the starting year: 2003

Enter stat for year 2003: 5

Enter stat for year 2004: 4

Enter stat for year 2005: 7

Enter stat for year 2006: 1

Enter stat for year 2007: 3

2006|2007|2004|2003|2005|

Sample Output #2: Enter the number of years: 6

Enter the starting year: 1879

Enter stat for year 1879: 70

Enter stat for year 1880: 89

Enter stat for year 1881: 111

Enter stat for year 1882: 65

Enter stat for year 1883: 105

UTStarcom is a global leader in the manufacture, integration, and support of networking and telecommunications systems. The company sells broadband wireless products and a line of handset equipment to operators in emerging and established telecommunications markets worldwide. The following excerpt was obtained from the 2004 10-K of UTStarcom, Inc., which reported material weaknesses in the company’s internal controls. In describing the company’s remediation efforts, the company stated that “planned remediation measures are intended to address material weaknesses related to revenue and deferred revenue accounts and associated cost of sales.”

These material weaknesses were evidenced by the identification of six separate transactions aggregating approximately $5 million in which revenue was initially included in the company’s fourth-quarter 2004 financial statements before all criteria for revenue recognition were met. In addition, there were other transactions for which there was insufficient initial documentation for revenue recognition purposes but which did not result in any adjustments to the company’s fourth-quarter 2004 financial statements. If unremediated, these material weaknesses have the potential of misstating revenue in future financial periods. The company’s planned remediation measures include the following:

• “The Company plans to design a contract review process in China requiring financial and legal staff to provide input during the contract negotiation process to ensure timely identification and accurate accounting treatment of nonstandard contracts.”

• “In March 2005, the Company conducted a training seminar regarding revenue recognition, including identification of nonstandard contracts, in the United States and, in April 2005, the Company conducted a similar seminar in China. Starting in May 2005, the Company plans to conduct additional training seminars in various international locations regarding revenue recognition and the identification of nonstandard contracts.”

• “At the end of 2004, the Company began requiring centralized retention of documentation evidencing proof of delivery and final acceptance for revenue recognition purposes.”

  1. What features of this case should have indicated to the auditor a potentially heightened risk of fraudulent financial reporting?

  2. Using the previous disclosures as a starting point, identify challenges regarding internal controls that a company may face in doing business internationally.

  3. The company had disclosed its planned remediation efforts for 2004. How might the auditor have used that information in planning the 2005 audit?

  4. Considering potential analytical procedures relevant to the revenue cycle, identify analytics that the auditor might use in 2005 to provide evidence that the problems detected in 2004 have been remedied.

  5. Considering potential substantive tests of revenue, identify procedures that might be applied in 2005 to provide evidence that the problems detected in 2004 have been remedied.

1. In 1980 France had a GDP of $325 billion francs and a population of 11.78 million. In 1980 the exchange rate was 1 US dollar was equal to 1.67 francs. In 2010, France had a GDP of $435 billion euros and a population of 21.75 million. In 2010 0.8 euros was equal to 1 US Dollar. The GDP deflator was 51 in 1980 and 125 in 2010. By what percentage did France’s Real GDP per capita rise between 1980 and 2010 in U.S. dollars?

2. Identify the most commonly cited measure of inflation in the United States and explain how it is calculated. Identify and briefly discuss the some of the problems that statisticians have paid considerable attention to in recent years (your answer needs to be thorough).

3. Describe the relationship between inflation levels in prices and inflation levels for prices, wages and interest rates with respect to their ability to affect people's economic status and business outcomes (again, here be thorough and explain what happens when wages, etc. does and does not keep up with inflation).

4. Explain the differences and similarities between the GDP deflator and the CPI. Be thorough in your answer and write in complete sentences.

5. What is Hyperinflation and what are some reasons it may occur and persist? What is deflation, when does deflation usually occur, and is deflation a good or bad thing? Give examples of when each scenario happened in history as well. Again, be thorough in your answer.

6. In an imaginary economy, consumers buy only hot dogs and hamburgers. The fixed basket consists of 15 hot dogs and 8 hamburgers. A hot dog cost $2.25 in 2006 and $5.40 in 2007. A hamburger cost $5.75 in 2006 and $7.86 in 2007. Calculate the CPI for both years and then find the inflation rate.

7. In an imaginary economy, consumers buy only sandwiches and magazines. The fixed basket consists of 25 sandwiches and 40 magazines. In 2006, a sandwich cost $4.50 and a magazine cost $3.99. In 2007, a sandwich cost $5.75. If the inflation rate in 2007 was 21 percent, then how much did a magazine cost in 2007?

8. When Anders took out his first two-year membership with Maxima Gym in 2004, the fee was $525.00. He renewed his membership three times; in 2006 for $580.00, in 2008, for $600.00, and again in 2010, for $699.00. What is the OVERALL rate of inflation for Anders' gym membership?

Calculate the value of the courthouse in 2000 dollars and the value of the hospital in 2000 dollars and compare your answers. Which one cost more?
