Ms Mary was accepted to Big State University and received a reduced tuition from $50,000 to $20,000. Mary also received a scholarship of $30,000 to attend Big State University. Since Mary's tuition is $20,000 she will use the remaining portion to cover her room and board expenses. BSU also offered Mary a part-time job as an admin. assistant where she will be paid $2,500 per year. Mary Smith needs your help in determining what is taxable and what is not taxable. Please use IRS publication 970 and let her know what /if anything is taxable and what is nontaxable and any other info that is relevant. Please write at leat 200 words to explain why.

GOODNESS OF FIT WORKSHEET

The following is a quote from the Mars Company, maker of M&M candies:

We can assure you that the colors are blended mechanically according to the formula. Our present means of color dispensing should place a fairly uniform blend of colors in every package; however, occasionally an unusual assortment of colors may appear.

The theoretical percentages of each color (as given by the M&M company) are:

Red

Yellow

Green

Orange

Blue

Brown

Plain

13%

14%

16%

20%

24%

Peanut

12%

  1. Each student will need to buy a package of regular colors, Milk Chocolate M&M’s (plain or peanut) that is at least 4 oz. (colors of red, yellow, green orange, blue, brown) to be used for this project. All students will complete this test for your individual bag of M&Ms to receive credit   You will then report your test results (reject or fail to reject Ho) and numbers to your group leader.

Red

Yellow

Green

Orange

Blue

Brown

Total

Yours (Observed Frequency)

Group (Observed Frequency)

Expected Frequency

  1. The group leader will total the group values and will sum the colors. After working as a group to complete this test using the group totals, the leader will post the group results and the decision results of each individual in the group (reject or fail to reject Ho). Only the names of individuals that submit their test results to the group leader will be included on the group posting for credit.

You will conduct a goodness of fit test to determine whether your and the group frequency numbers for each color “fit” the expected values. Remember to complete your individual test first then send your results and numbers to the group leader. Be sure and work with the group leader to complete the group test. Use a significance level of 0.05.

  1. Determine the expected values for all colors of the M&Ms. Use the number of M&Ms from the whole group (when doing the group test). Be sure you use the correct type of M&M given percentages (plain or peanut).

  1. Write the null and alternate hypotheses. Remember these two statements must include all possible outcomes.

Ho:                                    

H1:

     

  1. Find the Chi-square critical value.

  1. Compute the test statistic value.

  1. What is the statistical decision about null hypothesis?

  1. Write a conclusion about the Mars Company’s claim regarding the colors of the M&Ms by interpreting your decision in Question 6.

3-30 (Objectives 3-3, 3-4) Publicly traded companies must electronically file a variety of
forms or reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including
the Form 10-K, which includes the audited annual financial statements. The SEC makes
most of these electronic documents available on the Internet via EDGAR, which stands
for Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. The primary purpose for
EDGAR is to increase the efficiency and fairness of the securities market for the benefit of
investors, corporations, and the economy by accelerating the receipt, acceptance, dissemination,
and analysis of time-sensitive corporate information filed with the agency.
a. Visit the SEC Web site (www.sec.gov) and use the link to “Company Filings Search”
(under “Filings”) to locate the Form 10-K filing for Google, Inc., for the year ended
December 31, 2015, to answer the following questions:
1. Who was Google’s auditor?
2. Did the audit firm issue a combined or separate report(s) on the financial statements
and on internal controls over financial reporting?
3. What type of audit opinion did the auditor provide for the financial statements?
4. What was the auditor’s opinion about internal controls over financial reporting?
5. What was the report date for the audit report?
b. Visit the PCAOB’s Web site (www.pcaob.org) and use the link to “Auditing” under the
heading for “Standards” to locate the PCAOB’s Auditing Standards. Search the links
to the Auditing Standards to answer the following questions:
1. Where would the auditor locate guidance about changes to the auditor’s report
if Google makes a change in accounting principle that is considered material?
Identify the appropriate section in the Auditing Standards and identify the relevant
paragraph(s) within that section that would be applicable to this situation.
Assume that Google properly reports the change in the financial statements.
2. Where would the auditor locate guidance to determine the effect on the auditor’s
report if he or she has substantial doubt about Google’s ability to continue as
a going concern? Identify the appropriate section and the relevant paragraph(s)
within that section that would be applicable to this situation.
3. Google’s Form 10-K contains information that is in addition to the financial statements
and related footnotes. Where would the auditor locate guidance that addresses
his or her responsibility for this other information and what is the auditor’s obligation
related to that information? Identify the appropriate section and the relevant
paragraph(s) within that section that would be applicable to this situation.

For each of the MAJOR components (6.1, 6.2 and 6.3) stated only, analyze and identify the manufacturing processes used to make the component – both primary (bulk shape forming) and secondary (or finishing) processes. Include sub-sub-section as follows for each component:

o 6.1.1 Component Observations: Describe your observations of the physical component which indicate what manufacturing processes were performed. Include an annotated picture with arrows pointing to the features.

o 6.1.2 Manufacturing Process: With supporting literature and research, describe the chosen manufacturing process concisely in detail, noting its advantages and disadvantages – describe it in the context of the gearbox you are looking it, not just generally. Detail the advantages and disadvantages of these processes: Relate the chosen method to the production volume of the gearbox.

o 6.1.3 Material Relationship: Relate to the material and its appropriateness in this manufacturing method (e.g. does it have suitable castability?)

Your friend would like some insights on how to evaluate new opportunities and thinks you could use a reality check.   Thus, she presents some data and asks for recommendations. She has $500,000 in funds to use. Looking at her business, you discover the following opportunities:

option 1: Renovate her building at a cost of $500,000. This saves 10,000 gallons of fuel per year. Fuel currently costs $5.00 per gallon. She thinks this renovation will showcase her green building skills and will lead to increased sales of $100,000 per year for the next two years. Planning horizon is five years.

option 2: Lend another entrepreneur $380,000. This person, who she met at a local entrepreneur center event, promises to double her $380,000 in 2 years. This entrepreneur has a good track record on recent projects.

option 3: Repay her car loan for her recently acquired Jaguar. She borrowed $120, 000 for 5 years at 3.9% interest to buy this car and has not yet made a payment. She can sell this car for $107,000 today.

So, your friend would like some pre-tax advice (that means do not consider taxes or depreciation) on what and how to decide. You can also ignore inflation in your calculations. Again, she has $500,000 to use in this set of decisions. Make a recommendation that is supported by your calculations. Explain your strategy in detail.

Note: consider all possible alternatives using available $500,000 and state your recommendation for each alternative
