A TV provider has 300,000 customers and is considering unlimited movie streaming services. A random sample of 256 customers is asked what they would be willing to pay per month for the unlimited movie streaming services. the same average of the responses is $15 and the standard deviation is $16.
1. Consider all 300,000 customers. What is the average price that they would be willing to pay for unlimited movie streaming? What is the associated standard error (in $)?
2. What is the 90% confidence interval for the average of what all the customers (300,000) would pay?
3. Will the histogram of the prices given by customers in the sample be a good fit for the normal curve? What about the histogram of the prices if the TV provider company asked all 300,000 customers? What about the probability histogram of the sample average price?

Hrubec Products has just acquired a small company that manufactures paper cartons. This company will be treated as a division of Hrubec with full profit responsibility. The newly formed Carton Division is currently purchasing 32,000 tons of pulp per year from a supplier at a cost of $23 per ton, less a 10% purchase discount. Hrubec’s president is anxious for the Carton Division to begin purchasing its pulp from the Pulp Division if an acceptable transfer price can be worked out.
Required:
For (1) below, assume the Pulp Division can sell all of its pulp to outside customers for $23 per ton.
1. If the Pulp Division meets the price that the Carton Division is currently paying to its supplier and sells 32,000 tons of pulp to the Carton Division each year, what will be the effect on the profits of the Pulp Division, the Carton Division, and the company as a whole?
For (2)–(4) below, assume that the Pulp Division is currently selling only 63,000 tons of pulp each year to outside customers at the stated $23 price.
2. What is the lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Pulp Division? What is the highest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the Carton Division? What is the range of acceptable transfer prices (if any) between the two divisions? Are the managers of the Carton and Pulp Divisions likely to voluntarily agree to a transfer price for 32,000 tons of pulp next year?
3. If the Pulp Division does not meet the $19 price, what will be the effect on the profits of the company as a whole?
4. Refer to (3) above. Assume that due to inflexible management policies, the Carton Division is required to purchase 32,000 tons of pulp each year from the Pulp Division at $23 per ton. What will be the effect on the profits of the company as a whole?

In the following scenario, each of the four categories of Principles Underlying an Audit Conducted in Accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards are violated. In the box below (1) identify the four categories (the “P – R – P – R”) [2 points each], (2) provide a brief description of each category [2 points each], and (3) indicate at least one way that the actions of the auditor in the scenario violates each of the four categories of principles
Joni Thompson, the CEO of a small privately held company, contacted Darrel Folkert, CPA, about conducting an audit of the company’s records. Joni told Darrel that she needed an audit performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) in time to submit two years of audited financial statements to a bank as part of a loan application. Darrel immediately accepted the engagement and agreed to provide an audit report within three weeks. Joni agreed to pay Darrel a fixed fee if the loan was granted.
Darrel hired two Portland State University accounting students to conduct the audit and spent a couple of hours telling them exactly what to do. Darrel told the students not to spend time reviewing internal controls because it is not a publicly traded company, but to concentrate on proving the mathematical accuracy of the ledger accounts and summarizing the data in the accounting records that support Joni’s financial statements. Given the lack of procedures performed by the two accounting students, they did not identify that Joni did not have an allowance for uncollectible accounts, even though more than 50% of the balance in the Accounts Receivable account is two or more years old. The students followed Darrel’s instructions and after two weeks gave Darrel a Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and a Statement of Cash Flows. Darrel received the three statements and immediately prepared an unqualified (clean) audit report. The report did not refer to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and the two accounting students did not check the accounting principles applied in prior periods. There was also no mention as to the responsibility of management or the degree of responsibility that Darrel was taking in the audit report.
