On January 1, 2004, Bentham Company sells office furniture for $60,000 cash. The office furniture orginally cost $150,000 when purchased on January 1, 1997. Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method over 10 years with a salvage value of $15,000. What gain or loss on sale should be recorded on this asset in 2004?

Bruno Company purchased equipment on January 1, 2009 at a total invoice cost of $280,000; additional costs of $5,000 for freight and $25,000 for installation were incurred.

The amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2010 if the straight-line method of depreciation is used is:

Equipment with an invoice cost of $20,000 was placed in service on January 3, 2009. Installation costs of $8,000 were added to Repairs Expense.

Ms. Kathleen Boyd, director of logistics for the Scenic Calendar Company, wishes to evaluate

two methods of time series forecasting. She has collected quarterly calendar sales data from the

years 2003 and 2004.

Qtr. Actual Sales Qtr. Actual Sales

1 1200 1 1300

2 800 2 800

4 1000 4 1200

a.Use the moving averages technique to find forecasted sales for the third quarter of 2009 based on actual sales from the previous three quarters. (0,5p)

b. Use simple exponential smoothing to forecast each quarter’s sales in 2009, given that Mr. Clayton qualitatively forecasted 800 calendars for quarter 4, 2008. Mr. Clayton has assigned an alpha factor of 0,1 for time series sensitivity. (0,5p)

c. Repeat the simple exponential smoothing problem above (part 5b) with Mr Clayton employing an alpha factor of 0,8. (0,5p)

d. How well does the moving averages and simple exponential smoothing techniques seem to work in Mr. Clayton’s situation? In what ways do the techniques appear to fail? Explain. (0,5p)

Assignment 5B: Moneyball: Part 2. Similar to the previous assignment, you’re going to read in the number of years the player played and the starting year of that player – followed by the statistics for those years. This time, however, you’re going to print out the years from worst to best in sorted order. Hint: this will require a second array to store years. If you can sort one array, can you sort both?

Sample Output #1: Enter the number of years: 5 Enter the starting year: 2003 Enter stat for year 2003: 5 Enter stat for year 2004: 4 Enter stat for year 2005: 7 Enter stat for year 2006: 1 Enter stat for year 2007: 3 2006|2007|2004|2003|2005| Sample Output #2: Enter the number of years: 6 Enter the starting year: 1879 Enter stat for year 1879: 70 Enter stat for year 1880: 89 Enter stat for year 1881: 111 Enter stat for year 1882: 65 Enter stat for year 1883: 105 Enter stat for year 1884: 98 1882|1879|1880|1884|1883|1881|

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin and religion. There are two cases currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to interpret the meaning of "sex" in the context of employment discrimination. In R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Links to an external site.), the Court is asked to decide if discrimination based on a person's transgender status is addressed in the Act as discrimination based on "sex" as the law is intended to operate. Meanwhile, in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia (Links to an external site.), the Court is asked to decide whether sexual orientation is included under "sex" according to Title VII. In two or three paragraphs (minimum four sentences each), please give your opinion on the following: 1. Whether Congress could have intended the term "sex" to include sexual orientation and/or transgender status when the law was written; and 2. Whether the courts should now interpret the term "sex" to include sexual orientation and/or transgender status.

• Design employee compensation programs taking into account organizational circumstances
• Propose amendments benefit programs to meet changing employee and employer needs
• Assess employer costs of benefit programs

Part of a human resource managers job is to analyze the benefits programs to ensure that an organization is compliant and that the costs are within budget. There are a number of required programs such as social security, worker's compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, health care, and FMLA leave. In addition to these mandated programs, many employers offer additional benefits such as dental, vision, disability, life insurance, tuition reimbursement, holidays, vacation, other paid time off (jury duty, bereavement, etc), 401(k) or other retirement, student debt support and more.

Managed by Q Case Benefits Analysis: In the case study we learn that Managed by Q offers free health insurance, 40 hours of paid vacation and a 401(k) plan. In addition, they would have to offer the legally required benefits such as worker's compensation and unemployment. The financial spreadsheet indicates there is a 20% markup for benefits and taxes. In year 5, therefore, we could surmise that of the $2,729,927 in wages and taxes, 20% or approximately $545,000, went to benefits and taxes.

1. Create an analysis of the provided benefits and taxes (both mandatory and discretionary) and create an academic, data-guided, proposal of any changes you might suggest to Managed by Q.
2. For this analysis, assume a 4% 401(k) match, FUTA rate of .06 (of first $7000), SUTA rate of .019 (of first $9000).
3. Be sure to incorporate items such as cost sharing or creative benefits such as student loan repayment options in your recommendations if appropriate.

Please answer question #3

Note: In this exercise you need to weigh out how many benefits you would like to offer verse the cost of those benefits. In your paper be sure to (1) explore the current benefit offering and (2) talk about what benefits you might offer and/or what changes you would recommend to Managed by Q.
