Acorn Limited is a listed company based in Vermont. On January 1, 2018, the company granted 1,000 share units to its CFO. Each share unit has a contractual service period of three years and a vesting condition based on the details below.

At the end of 2020, each share unit is convertible into 100 common shares of Acorn Limited if both of the following criteria are met:

2018-2020 Accumulated company net income is greater than $5 million.

2018-2020 Stock price increase is greater than 25%.

On the grant date, the company’s common shares had a fair value of $6 per share and the company was expected to meet both of the criteria above.

During 2018 and 2019, the company was expected to meet both of the criteria above. However, during 2020 the company’s stock price decreased and the company did not meet the stock price increase criteria at the end of the year.

The company’s accountant has asked for your help to check the compensation costs recorded for these share units during 2018-2019 and record the appropriate journal entry at the end of 2020.

End of 2018 -> 100*6*(1/3)=200

End of 2019-> (100*6(2/3))-200=200

Ignore the effects of taxes.

Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at row B, the annual company percentage increase in revenue, versus row A, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose that a random sample of companies yielded the following data:

B: Percent increase

Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue (row B) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal, mound-shaped and symmetric. Use a 10% level of significance. Find (or estimate) the P-value.

The following depreciation methods may be used: (1) straight-line, (2) double-declining-balance, (3) sum-of-the-years’-digits, and (4) units-of-output. For tax purposes, the class life is 7 years. Use the MACRS tables for computing depreciation.

Compute accumulated depreciation by using MACRS and optional straight-line method for the 3-year period ending December 31, 2021. Ignore present value considerations.
