  1. In recent years, a growing array of entertainment options competes for consumer time. By 2004, cable television and radio surpassed broadcast television, recorded music, and the daily newspaper to become the two entertainment media with the greatest usage (The Wall Street Journal, January 26, 2004). Researchers used a sample of 15 individuals and collected data on the hours per week spent watching cable television and hours per week spent listening to the radio.

    Individual     Television          Radio

           1                      22                    25

2                      8                      10

3                      25                    29

4                      22                    19

5                      12                    13

6                      26                    28

7                      22                    23

8                      19                    21

9                      21                    21

10                    23                    23

11                    14                    15

12                    14                    18

13                    14                    17

14                    16                    15

15                    24                    23

  1. Use a .05 level of significance and test for a difference between the population mean usage for cable television and radio. What is the p-value? (You must state H0and Ha, and compute the test statistic.)
  2. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population mean usage for cable television and radio.

It triggered a series of devastating tsunamis that spread throughout the Indian Ocean killing approximately 230,000 people, including more than 168,000 in Indonesia and over 30,000 in Sri Lanka [2]. Sahana [2], a free and open source disaster management information system developed in Sri Lanka in the immediate aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami. Suppose that Sahana is addressing those recommendations and associated challenges from the Tsunami Evaluation Commission (TEC).

Williams-Santana, Inc., is a manufacturer of high-tech industrial parts that was started in 2004 by two talented engineers with little business training. In 2016, the company was acquired by one of its major customers. As part of an internal audit, the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2016 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. The income tax rate is 40% for all years.

a

A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2014 for $34,000. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time.

b.

Effective January 1, 2016, the company changed the salvage value used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $592,000 on December 29, 2005, and has been depreciated on a straightline basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $100,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $25,000.

c.

On December 31, 2015, merchandise inventory was overstated by $24,000 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system.

d.

The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2016 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $950,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2017.

e.

At the end of 2015, the company failed to accrue $15,300 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2015. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2016.

f.

At the beginning of 2014, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $700,000. Its useful life was estimated to be ten years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2015, was $448,000. On January 1, 2016, the company changed to the straight-line method.

g.

Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.75% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2016. Credit sales for 2016 are $3,800,000; in 2015 they were $3,500,000.

2.

Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction as well as any adjusting entry for 2016 related to the situation described. Any tax effects should be adjusted for through Income tax payable or Refund-income tax. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1

Record entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction.

2

Record adjusting journal entry for 2016.

3

Record entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction.

4

Record adjusting journal entry for 2016.

5

A bond issued on February 1, 2004 with face value of $47400 has semiannual coupons of 4.5%, and can be redeemed for par (face value) on February 1, 2021. What is the accrued interest and the market price (the “clean” price) of the bond on November 15, 2006, if the bond’s yield on that date is to be 6.5%? (use actual/actual for accrued interest).

Hurricane damage: In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning of flood–damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 367 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in cleaning of one or more homes, 81 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 175 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 21 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that there is a difference between the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who cleaned flood–damaged homes and those who did not participate in the cleaning?

Let p1 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had cleaned flood–damaged homes, and let p2 be the population proportion with wheezing symptoms who did not participate in the cleaning of flood–damaged homes. Use the α=0.01 level of significance and the critical value method.

a.) State H0 and H1

b.) Choose a significance level α and find the critical value.

c.) Compute the test statistic.

d.) Determine whether to reject H0.

e.) State a conclusion.

Hurricane damage: In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 360 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 67 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 180 residents who had not participated in the cleaning, 40 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that there is a difference between the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who cleaned flood-damaged homes and those who did not participate in the cleaning? Let p1 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had cleaned flood-damaged homes and p2 denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had not cleaned flood-damanged homes. Use the =α0.05 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator.

1. State the null and alternate hypotheses.

2. Compute the P-value

3. determine whether it rejects.

4. Was there enough evidence?
