Prior to adjustment at the end of the year, the balance in Trucks is $298,988 and the balance in Accumulated Depreciation—Trucks is $101,200. Details of the subsidiary ledger are as follows:

A. Determine the depreciation rates per mile and the amount to be credited to the accumulated depreciation section of each of the subsidiary accounts for the miles operated during the current year.

**Only need help with credit accumulated depreciation**

B. Journalize the entry on Dec. 31 to record depreciation for the year. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.

The J. Miles Corp. has 25 million shares outstanding with a share price of $ 20 per share. Miles also has outstanding​ zero-coupon debt with a 5​-year ​maturity, a face value of $ 900 ​million, and a yield to maturity of 9 %. The​ risk-free interest rate is 5 %.

a. What is the implied volatility of​ Miles' assets?

b. What is the minimum profitability index required for equity holders to gain by funding a new investment that does not change the volatility of​ Miles' assets?

c. Suppose Miles is considering investing cash on hand in a new investment that will increase the volatility of its assets by 10 %. What is the minimum NPV such that this investment will increase the value of​ Miles' shares?

The table below lists weights​ (carats) and prices​ (dollars) of randomly selected diamonds. Find the​ (a) explained​ variation, (b) unexplained​ variation, and​ (c) indicated prediction interval. There is sufficient evidence to support a claim of a linear​ correlation, so it is reasonable to use the regression equation when making predictions. For the prediction​ interval, use a​ 95% confidence level with a diamond that weighs 0.8 carats.

Weight   Price
0.3   520
0.4   1171
0.5   1336
0.5   1425
1.0   5671
0.7   2278

X= weight of copper

Y=Actual Price of Copper in (USD)

x : 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.5 1.0 0.7

y : 510 1151 1343 1410 5669 2277

(a) Find the regression equation for the data points given.

(b) Determine the percentage of variation in price of Copper y that is explained by the weight x.

(c) Is it reasonable to predict the price of a 0.8 grams of copper using this model?

(d) Is it reasonable to predict the price of a 1.5 grams of copper using this model?

This is strictly to check answers.

Researchers have been studying the association between cigarette smoking and caffeine intake and

Parkinson's Disease for more than 40 years. The results of a study by Checkoway et al. (2002) follow:

Ever having smoked cigarettes resulted with an odds ratio (OR) = 0.5 (95% confidence interval (CI):

0.4, 0.8).

The OR for current smokers was OR = 0.3 (95% CI: 0.1, 0.7).

Among ex-smokers the OR = 0.6 (95% CI: 0.4, 0.9).

Interpret the three ORs (in your own words).

Binomial Probabilities

A multiple-choice quiz consists of n = 10 questions in the form True or False. Mary assumes that her comprehension level is p = 0.70, so that is the chance that she picks up a right answer. Let M denote a number of questions Mary answered correctly. Suppose that all TEN trials are independent.
Answer questions below using answers in the multiple-choice format. No calculation is required here. Just recognize the proper formula for each case.

1. A: (10) · (0.7) · (0.3)9

2. B: 1 − [(0.3)10 + (‘10) · (0.3)9 · (0.7)]

3. C: (10) · (0.7)9 + (0.7)10

4. D: (10) · (0.7)9 · (0.3)

5. E: 1 − [(10) · (0.7)9 + (0.7)10]

6. F: (0.3)10 + (10) · (0.3)9 · (0.7)

1. Probability that Mary has exactly NINE correct answers

2. Chance that Mary has at most ONE wrong answer

3. Probability that she correctly answers exactly ONE question

4. Chance that Mary has at most ONE correct answer

5. Probability that she has more than ONE question answered right

6. Chance that Mary has more than ONE wrong answer

Program 5: Shipping Calculator

The Speedy Shipping Company will ship packages based on how much they weigh and how far they are being sent. They will only ship small packages up to 10 pounds. You have been tasked with writing a program that will help Speedy Shipping determine how much to charge per delivery.

The charges are based on each 500 miles shipped. Shipping charges are not pro-rated; i.e., 600 miles is the same charge as 900 miles; i.e., 600 miles is counted as 2 segments of 500 miles.

Here is the table they gave you:

Package Weight                                           Rate per 500 miles shipped

2 pounds or less $1.50

More than 2 but not more than 6                              $3.70

More than 6 but not more than 10                            $5.35

Test Case 1:

Input Data:

Weight:            1.5 pounds

Miles:              200 miles                                (This is one 500-mile segment.)

Expected result:

To ship a 1.5 pound package 200 miles, your shipping charge is $1.50.

Test Case 2:

Input Data:

Weight:            5.6 pounds

Miles:              1200 miles                              (This is three 500-mile segments.)

Expected result:

To ship a 5.6 pound package 1200 miles, your shipping charge is $11.10.

Test Case 3:

Weight:            1.0 pounds

Miles:              2500 miles                               (This is five 500-mile segments.)

Expected result:

To ship a 1.0 pound package 2500 miles, your shipping charge is $7.50.

Test Case 4:

Weight:            8.5 pounds

Miles:              12345 miles                            (This is twenty-five 500-mile segments.)

Expected result:

To ship a 8.5 pound package 12345 miles, your shipping charge is $133.75.

Test Case 5:

Weight:            12.8 pounds

Miles:              345 miles  

Expected result:

Sorry, we only ship packages of 10 pounds or less.

Hints: This program does not need any loops. The program will calculate one shipping charge and stop. Your test cases should test the various possibilities, and the limits of the program.

BIG Helpful Hint: You can use integer division. For example: 1200 / 500 = 2
