(Two Differences, One Rate, First Year)

(LO 1, 2, 4) The differences between the book basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities of Castle Corporation at the end of 2016 are presented below.

It is estimated that the litigation liability will be settled in 2017. The difference in accounts receivable will result in taxable amounts of $30,000 in 2017 and $20,000 in 2018. The company has taxable income of $350,000 in 2016 and is expected to have taxable income in each of the following 2 years. Its enacted tax rate is 34% for all years. This is the company's first year of operations. The operating cycle of the business is 2 years.

Instructions

(a)  

Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2016.

(b)  

Indicate how deferred income taxes will be reported on the balance sheet at the end of 2016.

Consider the following time series data.

Using the naïve method (most recent value) as the forecast for the next week, compute the following measures of forecast accuracy:

1. Mean absolute error (MAE)
2. Mean squared error (MSE)
3. Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE)

Using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period, compute the same three values. Round your answers to two decimal places.

MAE =

MSE =

MAPE =

Which method appears to provide the more accurate forecasts for the historical data?

A bottling company claims that the mean amount of fluid in its beverage bottles is 16 oz. It's known that the amount of fluid is normally distributed. The amount of fluid of a sample of 9 nine bottles is shown above:

a) Test the company's claim at a .05 level of significance What is the value of the statistic?

b) Calculate a 94% Lower Confidence bound (1-sided)  for the mean amount of fluid.

c)  What minimum sample size is needed to detect a shift equal to 1 standard deviation, if the required power is .99 and the level of significance is .01

Assume we want a two-sided test.
