Suppose there are two types of people in an insurance market, high and low risks. High risk people are sick 10% of the time and low risk people are sick 5% of the time. The probability any individual is high risk is 40%. Upon getting sick, an individual loses $10,000 in medical expenses. a) What are the actuarially fair premiums for the types? b) If the insurer cannot distinguish between the two types, but the two individuals know their types, then what will be the equilibrium premium? c) Given your answer to part (b), who will exit the market and who will remain in the market? What do we call this? d) What will the premium be if the individuals do not know their type?

Ethics in Accounting

Effective financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior. Financial scandals in accounting and the businesses world have resulted in legislation to ensure adequate disclosures and honesty and integrity in financial reporting. A sound economy is contingent on truthful and reliable financial reporting.

Instructions:

• Read the following scenario.
• Answer the questions that follow. (1-2 paragraphs per question)
• Reference back to your text book for guidance on how to think through the scenario.

Scenario:

Imagine you are the assistant controller in charge of general ledger accounting at Linbarger Company. Your company has a large loan from an insurance company. The loan agreement requires that the company’s cash account balance be maintained at $200,000 or more, as reported monthly. At June 30, the cash balance is $80,000. You give this update to Lisa Infante, the financial vice president. Lisa is nervous and instructs you to keep the cash receipts book open for one additional day for purposes of the June 30 report to the insurance company. Lisa says, “If we don’t get that cash balance over $200,000, we’ll default on our loan agreement. They could close us down, put us all out of our jobs!” Lisa continues, “I talked to Oconto Distributors (one of Linbarger’s largest customers) this morning. They said they sent us a check for $150,000 yesterday. We should receive it tomorrow. If we include just that one check in our cash balance, we’ll be in the clear. It’s in the mail!”

Questions:

1. What is the accounting problem that the Linbarger Company faces?
2. What are the ethical considerations in this case? Provide rationale for why these are ethical considerations.
3. What are the negative impacts that can happen if you do not follow Lisa Infante’s instructions to wait one more day to post the balance?
4. Who will be negatively impacted if you do comply? Provide a rationale for why these individuals will be impacted.
5. What is one alternative that you could pursue in this scenario? Support your recommendations with information you learned in this class.

You must include a full explanation to support your answer.

Case Study: University Library System
This case is a simplified (initial draft) of a new system for the University Library. Of course, the library system must keep track of books. Information is maintained about both book titles and the individual book copies. Book titles maintain information about title, author, publisher, and catalog number. Individual copies maintain copy number, edition, publication year, ISBN, book status (whether it is on the shelf or loaned out), and date due back in.
The library also keeps track of patrons to the library. Since it is a university library, there are several types of patrons, each with different privileges. There are faculty patrons, graduate student patrons, and undergraduate student patrons. Basic information about all patrons is name, address, and telephone number. For faculty patrons, additional information is office address and telephone number. For graduate students, information such as graduate program and advisor information is maintained. For undergraduate student’s program and total credit hours are maintained.
The library also keeps information about library loans. A library loan is a somewhat abstract object. A loan occurs when a patron approaches the circulation desk with a stack of books to check out. Over time a patron can have many loans. A loan can have many physical books associated with it. (And a physical book can be on many loans over a period of time. Information about past loans is kept in the database.) So, in this case, it is recommended that an association class be created for loaned books.
If a book is checked out that a patron wants, he/she can put that title on reserve. This is another class that does not represent a concrete object. Each reservation is for only one title and one patron. Information such as date reserved, priority, and date fulfilled is maintained. When it is fulfilled, the system associates it with the loan on which it was checked out.
For this case, develop the following diagrams:

You have just entered an MBA program and have decided to pay for your living expenses using a credit card that has no minimum monthly payment. You intend to charge $1, 000 per month on the card for the next 21 months. The card carries a monthly interest rate of 1%. How much money will you owe on the card 22 months from now, when you receive your first statement postgraduation?

Fiduciary funds are of four major types For each of the following indicate the type of fiduciary fund in which it is most likely the fiduciary activity should be accounted for and reported.

1. Per a trust agreement a state maintains an investment pool in which governments within the state can temporarily invest the proceeds of tax exempt bonds that they have issued. The state will invest only in securities that would not violate IRS arbitrage provisions.

2. A county collects property taxes for towns and cities within its jurisdiction and distributes them to the governments shortly after it receives them.

3. A city solicits donations from its citizens to support a local food bank. Per a trust agreement all funds must be invested in investment grade securities and each year all earnings (except for a percentage equal to an inflation index) must be distributed to the food bank.

4. The state requires banks within its jurisdiction to turn over the balances in savings and checking accounts that have been inactive for a period of five years or more. Per a trust agreement, any amounts that are not claimed by the depositors within six years revert to the state’s general fund.

5. A city makes annual contributions to a qualified OPEB trust fund.

6. Each school within a school district collects parent–teacher association dues and contributions and turns them over to the school district for safe-keeping. The district remits the funds to the associations upon request and makes no decisions, and places no restrictions, as to how they are used.

7. A state university receives cash from a not-for-profit child welfare agency that provides scholarships to students who have graduated out of the foster care system. The agency selects the students and stipulates that the scholarship is intended to cover miscellaneous expenses other than tuition and fees, such as for meals and recreation. The university dispenses the funds to the students upon their requests, usually within days after they have been received from the agency.

8. A state university maintains an endowment to provide one scholarship each year to a student who graduated from Llano County High School. As per the donor’s stipulations in a trust agreement, each year the High School selects the scholarship recipient.

4]The GPAs of all students enrolled at a large university have an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 3.02 and a standard deviation of .29. Find the probability that the mean GPA of a random sample of 20 students selected from this university is 2.93 to 3.11
