Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 58.0 kg and standard deviation σ = 6.4 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 49 kg is considered undernourished.
(a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed
and released) at random in December is undernourished? (Round your
answer to four decimal places.)
(b) If the park has about 2300 does, what number do you expect to
be undernourished in December? (Round your answer to the nearest
whole number.)
does
(c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park
rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 40
does should be more than 55 kg. If the average weight is less than
55 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be
undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight
x
for a random sample of 40 does is less than 55 kg (assuming a
healthy population)? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)
(d) Compute the probability that
x
< 59.9 kg for 40 does (assume a healthy population). (Round
your answer to four decimal places.)
Suppose park rangers captured, weighed, and released 40 does in
December, and the average weight was
x
= 59.9 kg. Do you think the doe population is undernourished or not? Explain.
Since the sample average is above the mean, it is quite unlikely that the doe population is undernourished.Since the sample average is below the mean, it is quite unlikely that the doe population is undernourished. Since the sample average is below the mean, it is quite likely that the doe population is undernourished.Since the sample average is above the mean, it is quite likely that the doe population is undernourished.

An article in the Wall Street Journal on the parking problems at Tesla's Fremont, California factory notes that: "Tesla has tried to encourage alternatives to driving, such as biking, public transportation and the shuttle buses provided from around the Bay Area ..."
If Tesla auctioned off the right to park in its lot, would the firm need to provide other encouragement for employees to use alternative means of transportation? Briefly explain.
A.
Yes, it would remain necessary to provide alternatives to driving because the price of parking spaces would rise.
B.
No, it would not be necessary because the spaces would be allocated to those most willing to pay for them.
C.
No, encouraging the use of transportation alternatives would not be necessary due to a shortage of spaces.
D.
Yes, encouraging driving alternatives would still be necessary because the supply of spaces would be unchanged.
Is the most economically efficient allocation of parking spaces in Tesla's lot likely to result from auctioning off the right to park or from keeping parking free while encouraging employees to use alternative means of getting to work? Briefly explain.
A.
Keeping parking free, because no one has to pay anything for parking.
B.
Keeping parking free, because those with less income may get a parking space.
C.
Auctioning off the right to park, because the people who get the parking spaces would be determined randomly.
D.
Auctioning off the right to park, because those who benefit the most from the parking spaces would receive them.
Given your answer above, why hasn't Tesla considered charging employees for parking in its lot?
A.
Employees may consider this method to be unfair.
B.
Tesla workers are not rational.
C.
Managers may believe that they should not be charged for parking.
D.
Charging employees for parking is too time-consuming.

Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was completed on January 1 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased for $880,000. San Antonio paid $240,000 and signed a noninterest bearing note requiring the company to pay the remaining $640,000 on January 1, 2020. An interest rate of 10% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Title search, insurance, and other closing costs totaling $24,000 were paid at closing.
During January, the old building was demolished at a cost of $74,000, and an additional $54,000 was paid to clear and grade the land. Construction of a new building began on February 1 and was completed on December 1. Construction expenditures were as follows:
February 1 $ 1,800,000
April 30 2,400,000
July 1 800,000
November 1 1,200,000
San Antonio borrowed $4,500,000 at 9% on February 1 to help finance construction. This loan, plus interest, will be paid in 2019. The company also had the following debt outstanding throughout 2018:
$2,500,000, 10% long-term note payable
$5,500,000, 7% long-term bonds payable
In November, the company purchased 10 identical pieces of equipment and office furniture and fixtures for a lump-sum price of $640,000. The fair values of the equipment and the furniture and fixtures were $555,000 and $185,000, respectively. In December, San Antonio paid a contractor $305,000 for the construction of parking lots and for landscaping.
Required:
1. Determine the initial values of the various assets that San Antonio acquired or constructed during 2018. The company uses the specific interest method to determine the amount of interest capitalized on the building construction.
2. How much interest expense will San Antonio report in its 2018 income statement?
