(Solve by Rstudio)

Farmers would like to know the amount of sunshine in given locations they may buy land. They hypothesize that a place near the coast may have different cloud cover than a place further from the coast at the same latitude so that the sun angles are the same.   In the data sheet you have daily noontime reports of the fraction of cloud cover near the coast and inland. Justify your acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis using these numbers, and state the confidence level you would use.

(Data)

Cld cover coast: ,71,26,100,16,100,83,61,32,84,15

Cld cover inland: ,60,9,6,29,12,19,21,62,82,0,4,84,51,4,19

Strain gauges are placed at two locations on a wing that is being tested in a wind tunnel. The first gauge is near the fixed base of the wing and the other gauge is near the free wing tip. Two tests are performed: (a) the wing vibration is recorded for low velocity laminar flow and (b) for high velocity turbulent flow. For each of these tests, discuss the following: (i) Describe and compare the time histories you would expect to see recorded by each strain gauge; (ii) Discuss the type of cross-correlation you would expect between X 1 and X 2, the locations of the gauges.

Test 1: Blind spot determination

  1. Take a piece of paper or index card and make an “X” and a large dot about 3 inches apart. Hold it at arm’s length from your face (the X should be on the left, the ● on the right)
  2. Close your left eye.
  3. Focus your right eye on the “X”
  4. Slowly move the card toward your eye until the ● disappears, at this point stop moving the card and hold steady.
  5. Measure the distance from the card to your eye. Answer the following questions:

What is the distance?

                        

What is the blind spot?

Test 2: Near point accommodation

We are able to focus (or accommodate) light onto our retina due to the lens. Muscle fibers attached to the lens move it forward and backward within the eye causing the elastic fibers in the lens to stretch and contract. As we age, the elasticity of the lens decreases, and it becomes harder to focus on close objects.

  1. Hold a pencil or pen tip at arm’s length in front of one eye. Close your other eye.
  2. Slowly move the pin toward your eye, until the pin seems distorted/blurry. At this point, stop moving the pencil or pen.
  3. Measure the distance from the pin to your eye. Record the distance:
  4. Repeat the same procedure for your other eye. Record the distance:
  5. Answer the following questions:

Is the near point accommodation the same for both eyes? Why do you think this is? How would near point accommodation change if you were near-sighted? Far-sighted?

Bramble Company owns 9,000 acres of timberland purchased in 2006 at a cost of $1,540 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land without the timber was valued at $440 per acre. In 2007, Bramble built fire lanes and roads, with a life of 30 years, at a cost of $92,400. Every year, Bramble sprays to prevent disease at a cost of $3,300 per year and spends $7,700 to maintain the fire lanes and roads. During 2008, Bramble selectively logged and sold 770,000 board feet of timber, of the estimated 3,850,000 board feet. In 2009, Bramble planted new seedlings to replace the trees cut at a cost of $110,000.

A. Determine the depreciation expense and the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2008. (Round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.54687 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)

B. Bramble has not logged since 2008. If Bramble logged and sold 990,000 board feet of timber in 2019, when the timber cruise (appraiser) estimated 5,500,000 board feet, determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2019. (Round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.54687 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)

Han and Leia acquired a $1,475,000 lakefront home from Boba Fett Realty in 2010. They exchanged their principal residence, townhouse in Coruscant, for the Lake Tatooine property. They paid $700,000 in cash for the townhouse in 2007 and it was recently appraised for $1,400,000.
The gorgeous 30-acre lakefront property on Lake Tatooine has incredible views and vistas of the Dune Sea and the Greedo Mountains. In 2018 the Village of Mos Eisley valued the property at $2,150,000 and assessed real property taxes on the both the home and the outparcels of property. Jobba the Assessor determined that the home represented 30% of the value and the out-parcels represented the remaining 70% of the value for the property.
The Solos hired Storm and Trooper Construction Company (S&TCC) to repair and remodel the existing home. Force Architectural and Engineering was retained to perform feasibility and design for the renovation. However their investigation revealed a vermin infested and termite eaten home on the property that had been built a long, long time ago. Force’s lead architect Yoda warned the Solos that the home was too old to be rehabbed and the cost prohibitive. It seems that the old lakefront home never really fit the Solos’ entertaining and galaxy trotting lifestyle. So they decided to demolish the home and built their dream stone and log cabin. In addition, they wanted a hanger and landing strip for the Millennium Falcon.
S&TCC estimated that it would cost $25,000 to $50,000 to demolish the home. All the necessary permits to demolish the home were obtained from the Village of Mos Eisley but Han balked at the cost of demolition. Han and Leia donated the home to the Mos Eisley Rebellion Fire Departments (MORFED) for a training exercise. On October 1, as part of fire prevention month, MORFED burned down the structure and then put out the fire. MORFED charged Han and Leia $2,000 to haul away the burned out remains of the old home.
A construction contract to built the home, a hanger with offices and a landing strip was signed with S&TCC on January 15, 2018. The cost of building the home is $1,250,000. They paid 20% of the cost in cash and borrowed the balance from the Next Empire and Republic Bank (NERB) with a construction bridge loan at 6.25% per annum secured by the property. Construction on the home was completed on August 20, 2018 and the Solos executed a 30-year home mortgage loan secured by the principal residence at 4.35% per annum with NERB on September 22, 2018.

Han and Leia have come to you for tax help for their 2018 tax year. What issues does their set of facts present to you as their tax advisor? What advice do you have for them? Please make any assumptions that you need in order to address and respond to the issues presented by the fact pattern. Clearly state the assumptions that you make. It is advisable to utilize a memorandum style in which you address the facts, issues, analysis and conclusions. Support your answers with cites to code, regulations, cases, rulings, IRS publications or other research data. Unsupported conclusions without proper analysis will not win you points with the firm’s senior partner (me). Good luck.
