ICD-10 has been in effect in the US since October 1, 2015, however, even before ICD-10 was released the WHO was already working on the Beta of ICD-11. Discuss the implementation, the known problems and issues as well as the concerns and criticisms.

A large University system, which currently uses a standard grading system of A, B, C, D or F for their students, is analyzing the possibility of changing to a plus-minus grading policy. In addition to the computer system, which stores and manages all the student records, the faculty and the students would also be affected by this possible change. One of the concerns that students have, is that changing this policy might lower the overall GPA (grade point average) of the students. One statement from students makes the conjecture that only 20% of all the students in the system are supportive of the proposed change.

A)You draw a random sample of 260 students from this university system. Assuming that the student conjecture is true, would you expect to see 80 students supportive of the change? Explain.

B)Suppose in your random sample of 260 students from this university system, 80 students are supportive of the change. Based on the data do you think that the student’s conjecture that 20% of all the students in the system are supportive of the proposed change could be correct?

We all currently or in the future will participate or be impacted by the stockmarket with our retirement, the companies we work for or frequent with our purchases or those companies that bring us the latest technology to help us live a more comfortable life. Since I have been watching the stockmarket over 40 years ago, I've seen companies sadly leave but others have also arrived. Some of the largest companies in the US that no one would have ever thought would no longer exist or much smaller than it once was is an indication of how the returns of a company can impact its sustainability. If the company whether stocks or bonds cannot provide the returns investors require, the company will lose needed capital to help it sustain itself.

a. At the time of his daughter's birth, a man deposited $ 1,000 in an account that pays 6%; this amount is set every birthday. When he turned 12, he increased his appropriations to $ 1,500. Calculate the amount that will be available to her at age 18.

b. José earned $ 4,000,000 from the Puerto Rican lotus and will receive a check for $ 200,000 now and a similar one every year for 19 years. To guarantee these payments, the Electronic Lottery bought an anticipated annuity at the 10% interest rate compounded monthly. How much did the electronic Lottery cost the annuity?

A sample of nine public universities and nine private universities was taken. The total cost for the year (including room and board) and the median SAT score (maximum total is 2400) at each school were recorded. It was felt that schools with higher median SAT scores would have a better reputation and would charge more tuition as a result of that. The data are in the following table. Run the regression one time without dummy variable and one time with dummy variable

a)         Write the predicted regression equation and highlight it for both models

b)         High light the r2 and explain it for both models

c)         Highlight Significance F and explain it for both models

d)         Highlight the p-value and discuss if independent variable is significant or not for both models

e)         Discuss the sign of the co-efficient for both models

f)          Are private schools more expensive than public schools when SAT scores are taken into consideration?

g)         Discuss how accurate you believe these results are using information related to the regression models. ( not for this session).

Hint: Dummy variable gets the value of 0 for public universities and1 for private universities.

Scenario

CM Corporation (CMC) was founded six years ago by Phil Connor and Eric Martin. The company designs, installs, and services security systems for high-tech companies. The founders, who describe themselves as "entrepreneurial geeks," met in a computer lab when they were teenagers and found they had common interests in working on security systems for critical industries. CMC hired you as a junior accountant this year.

Lately, Connor and Martin have been working with "radio frequency identification" (RFID) technology. They have developed a detailed system designed to track inventory items using RFID tags embedded invisibly in products. This technology has numerous inventory applications in multiple industries.

One of the most basic applications is tracking manufacturing components; if tagged components "go walking" (if employees attempt to take them), companies can easily track and find them. Connor and Martin have sold their system to several high-tech companies in the area. These companies have a number of government contracts that require extensive security systems to protect sensitive data from infiltration by terrorists and others. To date, CMC's cash flow from sales and services has adequately funded its operations.

CMC expects much growth potential for its products. As a result, they are considering going public and expanding internationally in the near future.

Instructions

Connor and Martin are contemplating acquiring Adverse Systems, a smaller security system manufacturer who is in the market to sell due to financial hardships. It is important for CMC to analyze the internal and external factors that could possibly affect the company's future performance after acquiring another company. SWOT is a comprehensive audit and competitive analysis that analyzes the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats facing an organization. CMC has asked you to be a part of the company's acquisition planning process to identify strategies, financial and operational goals. They have requested that you outline the internal and external factors that are relative to the acquisition and report the results using a SWOT analysis. CMC and Martin have the option of recognizing goodwill or making a bargain purchase.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of a SWOT analysis comparing goodwill and bargain purchase.

Presentation Mechanics should be as follows:

Prepare a 5-8 slide PowerPoint presentation, including slide notes.

Summarize the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for CMC under each purchase option.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each option under both US GAAP and IFRS standards.

Explain how either the “goodwill recognition” or “bargain purchase” can impact an acquisition.

Use the FASB Codification and IFRS to address all technical accounting issues presented in the requirements, being certain to reference the applicable sections of the Codification and IFRS in your presentation. You will need to register for the basic service at these sites. It is free.

All sources used to support your responses should be properly documented. You should have other credible sources in addition to the Codification and IFRS.

I have submitted the assignment and this is the feed back that I got ''You had many strong points in your submission.However, the submission was missing "notes" to help you explain the slides, and while you listed key points of IFRS and GAAP, they were never compared with each other which was needed to determine a strengths and weaknesses comparison. When discussing strengths and weaknesses, refer often to the Rubric. The manner in which Goodwill or a Bargain Purchase transaction could impact an acquisition was also not discussed in significant detail.''

Learning Activity #1

Frank Pulley was the General Manager of Fred Arnold’s, “Arnold’s Moving and Storage”, a family-owned business. He had been with the company since he got out of high school. He worked summers and vacations to make money during his college years. The company had grown as did Frank. When Frank graduated from college with his degree in business management, he was given the job of Office Accounts Manager. He managed the money for the business. During the evening, Frank went to school and received his MBA in Finance. By then, Arnold’s had expanded to include long distance moving as well as office moves in the Mid-Atlantic area. The company was making over $3,000,000 in sales and was growing at a rate of 8% -10 % a year. Competition was strong in the Mid-Atlantic region so Fred wanted to expand southward. About this time, Fred’s son decided it was time to come back into the business. He had been working in IT in Miami. He liked Miami and felt he could work from there and bring the business down the Eastern Seaboard.

Frank had been with the business for 12 years now and felt that with Fred’s son now back in the business, it might be time to leave. Fred saw Frank at lunch one day shortly after Frank started looking for a new job. “Frank, I just heard that you are looking for a senior management position. In fact, I had to hear it from Janice Jeppy of all people. I ran into her at the bank. She says you applied to Jeppy Movers for a job and was wondering why you would want to switch moving companies. I am wondering too. Don’t you want to stay with us?”

Frank was surprised. The thought had never occurred to him. He assumed that Mr. Arnold’s son and daughter would take over the business. Both of Fred’s children had been working in the business since they were in high school. “I don’t want to leave Mr. Arnold,” Frank replied, “but I assumed that with Frank back in the business, he would take over. I just couldn’t see where there was room for advancement.” Fred was afraid this is what the boy would say. His son was bright and showed promise, but Fred knew they needed experienced people like Frank to keep the company moving forward. Frank was great support for the business and would be the best support that he and his son could have. Fred wondered how he could keep Frank in the business. “Come see me tomorrow at 10 a.m., Frank and we will talk. I can’t let you go to Jeppy Movers, can I”?
