Your Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 "Consolidated Financial Statements – Intra-Entity Asset Transactions" Please respond to the following: Per the textbook, no official FASB guidance exists on the assignment of income effects on non-controlling interest in the consolidation process, when either the parent transfers a depreciable asset to the subsidiary or vice versa. Suggest one (1) method of accounting for the income effects on the non-controlling interest that you consider most appropriate. Provide a rationale for your response. Assume that company P (parent) uses the equity method to account for its investment in company S (subsidiary). Company P purchases inventory items from company S. According to FASB’s guidance, the accountant must remove the inter-company profit from Company S’s net income. Determine if the process permanently eliminates the profit from the non-controlling interest or merely shifts the profit from one period to the next. Provide support for your rationale.

Exercise 13-4 Prepare a Statement of Cash Flows [LO13-1, LO13-2]

The following changes took place last year in Pavolik Company’s balance sheet accounts:

D = Decrease; I = Increase.

Long-term investments that cost the company $6 were sold during the year for $16 and land that cost $15 was sold for $9. In addition, the company declared and paid $30 in cash dividends during the year. Besides the sale of land, no other sales or retirements of plant and equipment took place during the year. Pavolik did not retire any bonds during the year or issue any new common stock.

The company’s income statement for the year follows:

The company’s beginning cash balance was $90 and its ending balance was $85.

Required:

1. Use the indirect method to determine the net cash provided by operating activities for the year.

2. Prepare a statement of cash flows for the year

Directions: Conduct a T test for Dependent Samples to answer the questions based on the following scenario. (Assume a nondirectional research hypothesis ( two-tailed test) and a level of significance of .05)

To further examine the school performance scores of the district the superintendent identified schools within the district that could be matched to schools from surrounding districts using a series of demographic characteristics such as size, socio-economic status, and percent special education students. The data that were collected are presented above.

1. What are the mean school performance scores for the superintendent's district and matched schools?

2. What are the standard deviations of the school performance scores for the superintendent's district and matched schools?

3. State an appropriate null hypothesis for the analysis.

4. What is the observed or computed value of t?

5. What is the value of degrees of freedom that are reported in the output?

6. What is the reported level of significance from the T Test for Dependent Means?

7. Based on the result of the T Test for Dependent Means, what would you conclude about the difference in scores of schools in the superintendent's district and the matched schools?

8. Present the result as they might appear in an article. This must include a table and narrative statement that reports the results of the T Test for Dependent Means.

1. What is the marginal product of the second janitor?

2. What is the average product of four janitors?

3. Is the addition of the 3rd, 4th and 7th janitor associated with increasing, diminishing, or negative marginal returns? Explain.

4. Draw the total product, average product, and marginal product curves and shade the regions corresponding to increasing marginal returns, decreasing marginal returns, and negative marginal returns.

5. Characterize the nature of marginal returns in the region where: (a) the slope of the total product curve is positive and increasing; (b) the slope of the total product curve is positive and decreasing; and (c) the slope of the total product curve is negative.
