This paper aims to test the module ILOs using a practical real-life case-study. In this case study, you are going to play the role of an analyst for one of the corporates, let us call it Company-Z. Therefore, let us first introduce the case-study random variables:  is the Company-Z monthly revenue along the period Pre-COVID-19(January 2018 to December 2019);  is the same Company-Z monthly revenue but during the period Post-COVID-19(March 2020 to September 2020);  is the monthly operations cost during the period Pre-COVID-19(January 2018 to December 2019); while  is the same monthly operations cost but during the period Post-COVID-19(March 2020 to September 2020). Accordingly, in your analysis, you will depend on two main random variables over two time series. The first random variable is the Company-Z monthly revenue , and the second random variable is the Company-Z monthly operations cost . The two random variables were chosen over two periods of time: the first is (Pre-COVID-19: January 2018 to December 2019), and the second is (Post-COVID-19: March 2020 to September 2020).  Your task is to prepare a comprehensive report to the company, fulfilling specific requirements outlined below in point (3). using this data

What is the appropriate technique to test the following two hypotheses arguing: that the population mean of the monthly operations cost is 0.9 times the value of the average monthly operations cost during the period Pre-COVID-19 , and the population mean of the monthly operations cost is 1.3 times the value of the average monthly operations cost during the period Post-COVID-19 . Write thefull analytical stepsto find the appropriate decision for both hypotheses, as well as comment on the results?     use the confidence level 99 percent

On January 1, 2020, Perfection Company issued $400,000 of 10%, 6-year bonds dated January 1, 2020, with interest payments every June 30 and December 31. The bonds were issued at $382,762 when the market rate was 11%. Perfection Company amortizes any premium or discount using the EFFECTIVE-INTEREST-RATE method. Round all numbers to the nearest whole number.  

1-Using proper formatting (eliminating the date), prepare the journal entry on January 1, 2020 to record the issuance of the bonds.

2-Using proper formatting (eliminating the date), prepare the journal entry on June 30, 2020 to record the first interest payment

3-Determine the amount of interest expense that will be recorded on December 31, 2020. Show your work for full credit and clearly label your answer.

4-Determine the amount of total interest expense that Perfection Company will recognize over the life of the bonds if the bonds are not redeemed until maturity. Show your work for full credit and clearly label your answer. ( IS THE ANSWER FOR THIS PART IS THIS

20,000x12= 240,000

+ 17,238= 257,238 OR 17,238 AND WHY )

5. Determine the amount of interest expense Perfection Company would have recorded on June 30, 2020 (first interest payment) if they had used the STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD to amortize any premium or discount, instead of the effective-interest-rate method, as described above. Show your work for full credit and clearly label your answer.

Business Law

The Paria Oil Company is seeking police protection for the duration of industrial turmoil at its Head Office, due to layoff caused by the Covid 19. During discussions with the Police to deal with the turbulence, the Police suggested that a mobile patrol would be adequate because the disorder was largely contained. However, the CEO of Paria insisted on permanent police presence. The CEO then offered to compensate the Police, if they agreed on a permanent on site presence during the turmoil.

The Police thereafter indicated that they will provide 10 officers at a rate of $5000 per day, which they will maintain during the entire strike period. A few weeks after the strike was over, the Commissioner of Police, sent an invoice to Paria Oil Company for the cost of protection for two months. However, Paria Oil refused to compensate, and argued that the Police have a duty under law to protect the company from any pending violence and lawlessness.

The Commissioner of Police has sought your advice on the matter. Can you please advise him?

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 for company 37 7 12 7 21 18 17 10

A: Percent increase for CEO 28 10 9 3 26 16 20 7

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 1% level of significance. Find (or estimate) the P-value.

Select one answer:

a. 0.02 < P-value < 0.05

b. 0.01 < P-value < 0.02

c. 0.25 < P-value < 0.50

d. P-value = 0.05

e. P-value = 0.25
