Gentry Inc. acquired 100% of Gaspard Farms on January 5, 2010. During 2010,
Gentry sold Gaspard Farms for $625,000 goods which had cost $425,000. Gaspard
Farms still owned 12% of the goods at the end of the year. In 2011, Gentry sold goods
with a cost of $800,000 to Gaspard Farms for $1,000,000, and Gaspard Farms still owned
10% of the goods at year-end. For 2011, cost of goods sold was $5,400,000 for Gentry
and $1,200,000 for Gaspard Farms. As a result of the above what consolidation entries
are required for 12-31-2011?

A) To test whether caffeine increases heart rate, a study was conducted with 10 male adults. Heart rate per minute was measured before and after drinking 3 cups of coffee containing 300 mg of caffeine. The before heart rates were measured while resting. The data was found to be normal and is given below. The standard deviation of the differences is sd = 2.16. Assume that the scores are pairs of scores for ten subjects, and use a = 0.05 to test the claim. Give all 5 steps of a hypothesis test.

Subject            1          2          3          4          5          6          7          8          9          10

Before             62        62        57        63        76        59        56        58        60        63        

After               69        71        65        72        81        67        61        62        65        66

B) Suppose that in Part A, the information concerning the particular score of each subject was lost, and the scores are now treated like two independent samples, with equal variances. Test to see if the after group has a higher heart rate at a = 0.01. Use the information given below.

On the 1st of March, a commodity’s spot price is $60 and its futures contract price with maturity in August is $59.

On the 1st of July, the commodity spot price is $64 and its futures contract price with maturity in August is $63.50. A company entered into the futures contracts on 1st of March to hedge its purchase of the commodity on July 1. It closed out its position on July 1.

What is the effective price (after taking account of hedging) paid by the company?

a)$59.50

b)$60.50

c)$61.50

Risk Management

When applying for property insurance coverage, Freddy Jones tells the insurance company that his building is equipped with a sprinkler system and that a guard is on duty inside the premises when the building is closed to the public. Neither of these statements is true.

The insurance company covers the building and it is destroyed by a windstorm five months after the policy is placed. Do you believe that an intentional misrepresentation by an applicant for insurance should permit the insurer to deny coverage for a loss even if the misrepresented fact had no relationship to the loss? Explain your position.

1. At a certain temperature, the Kp for the decomposition of H2S is 0.816. Initially, only H2S is present at a pressure of 0.247 atm in a closed container. What is the total pressure in the container at equilibrium?

2. If a 2.00 M sample of A is heated to 500 K, what is the concentration of B at equilibrium? Kc= 7.01x10^-6 @ 500K.

3. At equilibrium, the concentrations in this system were found to be [N2]=[O2]=0.100 M and [NO]=0.500 M. If more NO is added, bringing its concentration to 0.800 M, what will the final concentration of NO be after equilibrium is re-established?

APPLY: Between ages 40 and 50, Nancy gained 20 pounds. She also began to have trouble opening tightly closed jars, and her calf muscles ached after climbing a flight of stairs. “Exchanging muscle for fat must be an inevitable part of aging,” Nancy thought. Is she correct? Why or why not?

Hot Weelz Ltd., which began operations in January 2015, follows IFRS and is subject to a 30% income tax rate. In 2018, the following events took place:

a) The company switched from the zero-profit method to the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for its long-term construction projects. This change was a result of experience with the project and improved ability to estimate the costs to completion and therefore the percentage complete.

b) Due to a change in maintenance policy, the estimated useful life of Hot Weelz’s fleet of trucks was lengthened.

c) It was discovered that a machine with an original cost of $220,000, residual value of $30,000, and useful life of four years was expensed in error on January 23, 2017, when it was acquired. This situation was discovered after preparing the 2018 adjusting entries but before calculating income tax expense and closing the accounts. Hot Weelz uses straight-line depreciation and takes a full year of depreciation in the year of acquisition. The asset’s cost had been appropriately added to the capital cost allowance (CCA) class in 2017 before the CCA was calculated and claimed.

d) As a result of an inventory study early in 2018 after the accounts for 2017 had been closed, management decided that the weighted average cost formula would provide a more relevant presentation in the financial statements than the FIFO cost formula. In making the change to weighted average cost, Hot Weelz determined the following:

Date

Inventory—FIFO Cost

Inventory—Weighted Average Cost

Dec. 31, 2017

$ 80,000

$ 65,000

Dec. 31, 2016

115,000

85,000

Dec. 31, 2015

180,000

135,000

Required:

1. Analyze each of the four 2018 events described above. For each event, identify the type of accounting change that has occurred, and indicate whether it should be accounted for with full retrospective application, partial retrospective application, or prospective application.

2. Prepare any necessary journal entries that would be recorded in 2018 to account for events C (ignore income tax considerations) and D.

The data below lists the population of the United States each year from 2000 until 2010. (Hint: see Chapter 7 Project Part 1) a. (4 points) Use EXCEL to make a scatter plot and find a linear model of your data. Let the horizontal axis represent the years after 2000 (the year 2000 would be 0) and let the vertical axis represent the US population in millions. Provide a title for your graph, label both the vertical and horizontal axes, and make sure the linear model is included on your graph. Copy the scatter plot with the linear model and paste it into your document. b. (3 points) Identify the slope and y-intercept of your linear model and explain what both of these values mean in the context of the data given labeling with correct units. Please use complete sentences. (hint: see last page of part 1 of the project).
