taker by default.
pretermitted heir.
reversionary interest holder.
remainderman.
ultimate permissible appointee.

Signed, Sara Smith" Kevin, Diane, and David are Sara's only children. Which of the following are true statements?

(1)If Sara had waited more than nine months after Bell's death, the law will not allow her to give up her right to the inheritance.

(3)Sara has made a taxable gift of $30,000 to each child, their interests vest immediately, hence an annual exclusion.
(4)The disclaimer is tax effective even though it directs the transfer, since the children are next in line anyway according to Bell's will.

All are correct.

  2. Analyze the residuals from this experiment.
  3. If there is a significant difference, perform a Tukey test.

Question 2:

An article in Environmental International describes an experiment in which the amount of radon released in showers was investigated. Radon-enriched water was used in the experiment, and six different orifice diameters were tested in showerheads. The data from the experiment are shown in the following table.

Question 3:

In “Orthogonal Design for Process Optimization and Its Application to Plasma Etching”, an experiment is described to determine the effect of flow rate on the uniformity of the etch on a silicon wafer used in integrated circuit manufacturing. Three flow rates are used in the experiment, and the resulting uniformity (in percent) for six replicates is shown below.

  3. Use the Kruskal-Wallis procedure with α = 0.05 to test for differences between mean uniformity at the three different flow rates.

Question 4:

Suppose that five normal populations have common variance σ2 = 100 and means μ1 = 175, μ2 = 190, μ3 = 160, μ4 = 200, and μ5 = 215. How many observations per population must be taken so that the probability of rejecting the hypothesis of equality of means is at least 0.95? Use α = 0.05.

Fixzit had issued 7,200 convertible bonds at 121 on January 1, 2016. The $1,000 par value bonds carried an interest rate of 7% and had a 10-year term. Interest was to be paid by the company on June 30 and December 31. Attached with each bond were twenty detachable warrants, also issued.

Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share from Fixzit at a price of $54. Further, each bond was convertible, at the option of the holder, into 32 common shares. The underwriter informed the company that the bonds alone, excluding warrants and conversion rights, could be issued in the market at a 6.5% premium. Similar warrants were being traded at a market value of $4 each at the date of issue. You have been asked to view this situation on the assumption that the company uses ASPE for its accounts and amortizes the bonds using straight line.

REQUIRED:

  1. a] Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record the issue of these bonds without crediting the full amount received to liability (residual equity method).

  2. b] Prepare an appropriate journal entry to record the interest expense on December 31, 2016.

  3. c] On July 1, 2018, 65% of the warrants outstanding were exercised by the warrant holders. The company’s shares were being traded in the market at a price of $62 each on that day. Prepare an appropriate journal entry to record this transaction.

  4. d] On July 1, 2019, 60% of the bondholders submitted their respective bonds for conversion. The company’s shares were being traded at $68 on that day. The company had duly recorded and paid off all interest accrued and due on the bonds up to June 30, 2019. Prepare the appropriate journal entry, using the book value method, to record the conversion of the bonds.

  5. e] How many shares would have been issued from the bond conversion of July 1, 2019?

Case Study 5 ( 10 Marks)
In the marketing field, satisfying your customer always comes first, even before you start to produce or sell anything to them, taking in mind to cover all your costs as well since its important to balance between your revenue and costs.
One important aspect of marketing is advertising to convey the image and the use of a certain product or service. Mr. Marwan is working in an advertisement company that specializes in creating and designing adds to companies and entrepreneurs. Majed is the owner of a shipping company that specializes in shipping goods for companies. He contacted Marwn to have a meeting with him to determine the means and the way that he can help Majed to advertise more for his company. Since the competition is increasing, it is important to increase the effort to advertise for his company to secure a large customer base.
Marwan asked Majed several questions to choose the perfect media to advertise for his company like, how much is the budget allocated to advertising, the nature of his customers and other questions as well. After a long conversation, Marwan decided to design an advertisement that will be placed in railways,buses and car parks since most of people go to these places to find someone to ship their items from one governorate to another which is faster for them.

Question 5

i. Why Majed wanted to increase the advertising for his company? Discuss. (3 marks, 75-100 words)

ii. What are the questions that Marwan need Majed to answer before choosing the perfect way to advertise his company? (3 marks, 75-100 words)

iii. Examine the other advertisement media, which can be effective in promoting Majed’s shipping
company. (4 marks, 100-125 words)
