Explain what is meant by the Theme Park internal and external business environment and use the acronym P.E.S.T with appropriate examples to clarify your explanation.  Also, discuss using how new rides can be both interactive and educational.

Using your Starbucks' latest financial data (2017 or the latest quarter for 2018 that’s available), present the data and identify the company’s cost structure:

1. What percentage is variable cost (to sales?)

2. What percentage is fixed cost (to sales?) 3. What is the gross margin?

4. Is breakeven point predictive from the info you see in the financial statements? If yes, show computations and provide a short form (2 or 3 statements) analysis.

5. Is degree of operating leverage predictive from the financial statements? If yes, show computations and provide a short form (2 or 3 statements) analysis.

Homes in a certain town have a mean value of $88,950. It is assumed that homes in the vicinity of the school have a higher value. A sample of 12 homes near the school is selected and it appears as if the population is normal. Their mean value is $92,460 with a standard deviation of $5200. Can we prove with 95% certainty that homes near the school do indeed have a higher value?

Tiger Furnishings produces two models of cabinets for home theater components, the Basic and the Dominator. Data on operations and costs for March follow:

Tiger Furnishings’s CFO believes that a two-stage cost allocation system would give managers better cost information. She asks the company’s cost accountant to analyze the accounts and assign overhead costs to two pools: overhead related to direct labor cost and overhead related to machine-hours.

The analysis of overhead accounts by the cost accountant follows:

Required:

b. Compute the product costs per unit assuming that Tiger Furnishings uses direct labor costs and machine-hours to allocate overhead to the products. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number.)

In a construction project today, 600 square meters of thermic isolation is required. Main inputs consist of styro-foam and labor. In 2010, the cost of styro-foam was $8 per kg, knowing that the isolation used weighs 12 kilograms per 50 square meter. The cost index in 2010 was 190 while today in 2017 it is equal to 180. The estimated labor cost for a first installation is $27000. Past experience has shown that the cost related to the labor required for producing each new pump is lowered by 20%. Use the cost of the sixth installation as your standard cost to estimate the total direct labor cost, if the project needs 10 installations per each square meter. Calculate the total cost of the installed thermic isolation for this project.

The XYZ Company uses the conventional retail inventory method to estimate ending inventory for its monthly financial statements and presents the following data for one department for February 2020. Present a schedule that shows the ending inventory at cost and highlight that cell with color and a thick outside border. Label each column and row clearly so your workpaper can be used by other people in Marquette's accounting department. Present the cost to retail percentage as a percentage with two decimal places.

Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was completed on March 28 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased for $1,080,000. San Antonio paid $340,000 and signed a noninterest-bearing note requiring the company to pay the remaining $740,000 on March 28, 2020. An interest rate of 6% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Title search, insurance, and other closing costs totaling $34,000 were paid at closing.
   
During April, the old building was demolished at a cost of $84,000, and an additional $64,000 was paid to clear and grade the land. Construction of a new building began on May 1 and was completed on October 29. Construction expenditures were as follows: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

San Antonio borrowed $5,500,000 at 6% on May 1 to help finance construction. This loan, plus interest, will be paid in 2019. The company also had the following debt outstanding throughout 2018:

In November, the company purchased 10 identical pieces of equipment and office furniture and fixtures for a lump-sum price of $740,000. The fair values of the equipment and the furniture and fixtures were $546,000 and $294,000, respectively. In December, San Antonio paid a contractor $355,000 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.

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?

How much time do Americans living in or near cities spend waiting in traffic, and how much does waiting in traffic cost them per year? The data set given includes this cost for 31 cities. For the time Americans living in or near cities spend waiting in traffic and the cost of waiting in traffic per year:

a. Compute the mean, median, first quartile, and third quartile.

b. Compute the range, interquartile range, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.

c. Construct a boxplot. Are the data skewed? If so, how?

d. Compute the correlation coefficient between the time spent sitting in traffic and the cost of sitting in traffic.

e. Based on the results of (a) through (c), what conclusions might you reach concerning the time spent waiting in traffic and the cost of waiting in traffic.

20. 1 – Create a webpage that contains a table with exactly three rows and two columns.

1. The first row will contain a table heading containing the name of a US National Park, that spans across all columns. Hint: use the colspan attribute inside the opening th tag
2. Give the table heading an onmouseover that will change the text of the heading when it is moused over to read My Favorites Park! (Hint: use innerHTML). Use onmouseout to change it back.
3. The second and third rows will contain 2 thumbnail(small) images each. (See Creating Square Thumbnails section below).

• These are images from the National Park that you selected
• Remember your code, pages, images will not be like anyone else’s. When they are compared you do not want your file to be flagged.

4. Use the anchor element on the thumbnail images, so that each thumbnail image opens a larger version of the same image in a new tab. (Hint: if you give the target a name, you can have them all open in the same tab rather than using _blank and having a new tab open each time one is clicked. This avoids opening too many tabs.)
5. Apply style to the table. Again, your table will not be like anyone else’s. Your work is to be your own work.
6. 1. Create a webpage that contains a table with four columns and six rows.
   2. The first row will contain a heading that spans across all columns. This heading will say Yellowstone National Park.
   3. The second row will contain a heading that spans across all columns. This heading will tell the user to click on any image to enlarge.
   4. The third row will contain four images. Use the thumbnail(smaller) images of scenes geysers in Yellowstone. Using paint, make the smaller images 150px X 150px.

7. (See Creating Square Thumbnails section below)

8. 5. The Fourth row will contain three cells, the first cell and third cell are thumbnails of more geysers in Yellowstone.
      1. The second cell contains an image of Old Faithful Geyser that is 300px by 300px. (You must specify the size in the imgelement)
      2. Hint: Use both rowspan and colspan so that this image covers 4 cells. This image will be replaced when the user clicks on any thumbnail image.
   6. The fifth row will contain two thumbnail images of hot pools found in Yellowstone Park. (An image on each side of the lower half of the center image.
