Other information pertaining to the company’s trial balance is provided as follows. 1. The most recent bank statement reports a balance of $46,975. Included with the bank statement was a $2,500 check from Iggy Smarts, a professional musician, charged back to Music-Is-Us as NSF. The bank’s monthly service charge was $25. Three checks written by Music-Is-Us to suppliers of merchandise inventory had not yet cleared the bank for payment as of the statement date. These checks included: no. 508, $5,500; no. 511,
388
$7,500; and no. 521, $8,000. Deposits of $16,500 reached the bank too late for inclusion in the current bank statement. The company prepares a bank reconciliation at the end of each month.

2. Music-Is-Us has a portfolio of marketable securities that originally cost $19,000. As of December 31, the market value of these securities was $27,500. All short-term investments are classified as “available for sale.”

3. During December, $6,400 of accounts receivable were written off as uncollectible. A recent aging of the company’s accounts receivable led management to conclude that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $8,500 is needed at December 31, 2018.

4. The company uses a perpetual inventory system. A year-end physical count revealed that several guitars reported in the inventory records were missing. The cost of the missing units amounted to $1,350. This amount is not considered significant relative to the total cost of inventory on hand.

5. At December 31, approximately $900 in office supplies remained on hand.

6. The company pays for its insurance policies 12 months in advance. Its most recent payment was made on November 1, 2018. The cost of this policy was slightly higher than the cost of coverage for the previous 12 months.

7. Depreciation expense related to the company’s building and fixtures is $5,000 for the month ending December 31, 2018.

8. Although Music-Is-Us carries an extensive inventory, it is not uncommon for experienced musicians to order custom guitars made to their exact specifications. Manufacturers do not allow any sales returns of custom-made guitars. The entire sales amount is collected at the time a custom order is placed, and is credited to an account entitled “Unearned Customer Deposits.” As of December 31, $4,800 of these deposits remained unfilled because the special-order guitars have not been received from the manufacturer. The cost of goods sold and the reduction in inventory associated with all custom orders is recorded when the custom merchandise is delivered to customers. At that time, the adjusting entry requires only a decrease to unearned customer deposits and an increase in sales.

9. Accrued income taxes payable for the entire year ending December 31, 2018, total $81,000. No income tax payments are due until early in 2019.

Instructions

a. Prepare a bank reconciliation and make the journal entries to update the accounting records of Music-Is-Us as of December 31, 2018.

b. Prepare the adjusting entry to update the company’s marketable securities portfolio to its mark-to-market value.

c. Prepare the adjusting entry at December 31, 2018, to report the company’s accounts receivable at their net realizable value (i.e., total amount receivable, less estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts).

d. Prepare the entry to account for the guitars missing from the company’s inventory at the end of the year.

e. Prepare the adjusting entry to account for the office supplies used during December.

f. Prepare the adjusting entry to account for the expiration of the company’s insurance policies during December.

g. Prepare the adjusting entry to account for the depreciation of the company’s building and fixtures during December.

h. Prepare the adjusting entry to report the portion of unearned customer deposits that were earned during December.

i. Prepare the adjusting entry to account for income tax expense that accrued during December.

j. On the basis of the adjustments made to the accounting records in parts a through i, prepare the company’s adjusted trial balance at December 31, 2018.

k. Using the adjusted trial balance prepared in part j, prepare an annual income statement, statement of retained earnings, and a balance sheet dated December 31, 2018.
389
l. Using the financial statements prepared in part k, determine approximately how many days on average an account receivable remains outstanding before it is collected. You may assume that the company’s ending accounts receivable balance on December 31 is a close approximation of its average accounts receivable balance throughout the year.

m. Using the financial statements prepared in part k, determine approximately how many days on average an item of merchandise remains in stock before it is sold. You may assume that the company’s ending merchandise inventory balance on December 31 is a close approximation of its average merchandise inventory balance throughout the year.

n. Using the financial statements prepared in part k, determine approximately how many days it takes to convert the company’s inventory into cash. In other words, what is the length of the company’s operating cycle?

o. Comment briefly upon the company’s financial condition from the perspective of a short-term creditor.

This course has been an historical analysis of juvenile delinquency, mass media, and youth culture, roughly covering from World War II until the 1960s. Utilizing the concept of episodic notion, update this analysis to contemporary youth culture and its relationship to delinquency (as portrayed in current music, film, or television).

This program should be designed in group.

  • Divide by classes.
  • Parameters and return types of each function and class member function should be decided in advance.

Write a program that computes a patient's bill for a hospital stay. The different components are:

  • PatientAccount Class
  • Surgery Class
  • Pharmacy Class
  • main program

Patient Account will keep total of the patient's charges. Keep track of the number of days spent in the hospital. Group must decide on hospital's daily rate.

Surgery class will have stored within it the charges for at least five types of surgery. It an update the charges variable of the PatientAccount class.

Pharmacy class will have stored within it the price of at least five types of medication. It can update the charges variable of the PatientAccount class.

Student who designs main will design a menu that allows user to enter a type of surgery and type of medication and check the patient out of the hospital. When patient checks out, the total charges should be displayed.

Assume that X is a random variable with density corresponding to an equal mixture of two Gaussians, with unknown means µ1, µ2 and unknown variances σ1, σ2: p(x) = 0.5N (µ1, σ2 1 ) + 0.5N (µ2, σ2 2 ).

(1) Assume you are given a dataset of n iid samples from this distribution: D = {xi} n i=1. Your goal is to estimate µ1, µ2, σ1 and σ2.

(a) [10 marks] Write down the negative log-likelihood for this problem, for the given dataset D = {xi} n i=1. Simplify as far as you can, by explicitly writing the densities for a Gaussian. Hint: You will not be able to simplify very far, and you will be stuck with a few exponentials that the logs cannot cancel.

(b) [10 marks] Derive update rules to estimate µ1, µ2, σ1, and σ2. More specifically, derive the gradient descent update rule, for the negative log likelihood you provided above.

This requirement can be met by using generic data, the correct mysql coding of script is more important than the data.

1. Increase all of the listing prices by 5% for all listings under $500,000 and 10% for all listings $500,000 and higher. Update the listings table with the new prices.

2. Add 30 days to the date expires for all listings. Update the listings table with the new prices.

3. Add "Listing updated on [current date]." to the remarks. Replace [current date] with the current systems date. Do not replace the remarks currently in the table. Add these remarks to the remarks already in the table.

4. Return the following information from the listings table from the stored procedure to display the information in the new real estate app: address, city, state, zip, updated listing price, updated date expires, and updated remarks.

5. Call and run the stored procedure to make the appropriate updates and return the proper results.

What are some of the ways in which managers might think they are making rational empirical decisions on capital investments when in fact they are being swayed by more subjective perceptions and unfounded assumptions? How does human psychology and the dynamics of human judgment impact such financial decisions? Do some internet research to support your conclusions.
