Case study
Eleanor has grown
up in a family of "heavy users."
"I mean two things by
this," she smiles derisively. "My mom, my dad, my two
older sisters—even my aunts and uncles and most of my cousins,
probably—they all used drugs. I finally did too when I was 17, just
to have everybody quit bullying me. I was the last one to use, and
now I'm the first one to try to get clean, and they hate that
because everybody's always used me. Since I'm the only one that has
been straight this long, the only one able to keep a job long term,
everybody thinks I owe it to them to let them crash on my couch or
give them money.
"But I want to put
those days behind me. I have my sister's little boy to raise
now—." At this point Eleanor begins to cry. "My sister was
killed in a motorcycle accident. Her boyfriend was driving, and
neither one had a helmet—." She cries a little more and
says, "My sister Molly was the only one—the only one—in our
family who loved and supported me when I tried to go straight. She
said she was going to too, for her baby boy's sake. Now she's gone,
and I have him, and I don't want him to end up like the rest of us.
It's a promise I made to her after her death."
"I feel like I'm a
train wreck right now. Where do I start?"

Revise the following passage, correcting any grammatical and
punctuation errors present. Indicate the
corrected parts in your answer by writing them in bold red
text.
In the 1970s, market researchers discovered that the most young
children were unable to tell the difference
between the television shows they watched and advertisements for
products. Because of this discovery, it was
an attempt in 1978 to put legal restrictions on television
advertisements aimed at too young children, but
advertisers objected. The industry of marketing to children has
being growing steadily since then. Between
1978 and 1998, the amount of money directly spent by children age
four to twelve increased from less than
three billion dollars a year to almost twenty-five billion dollars,
and is not end in sight. Researchers believe that
children in that age group also convince their families to spend
another two hundred billion dollars a year—
such as when a young boy, for example, convinces her mother to
purchase a more expensive computer than
she might otherwise have bought. Marketers are easy to decide to
target this young market—there is their job
to aim at consumers who can be convinced and who will spend most
money.
However, few other groups have also helped marketers figure out the
best way to target a too young
audience. Many child psychologists are now been asked to join
market-research firms to provide information
about how to reach children more effectively. Some members of the
American Psychological Association
lobbied their organization in 2002 to discipline APA members who
have helped advertisers target children, but
the APA has no taken action yet. The most psychologists feel that
the marketers and their advisers have being
allowed very much freedom to appeal to children who cannot make
informed decisions about products, but
the situation does no seem likely to change.

The Pawnee Rangers, a boys-only wilderness club, and the Pawnee Goddesses, a girls-only wilderness club, went on a joint weekend camping trip with their respective troop leaders Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope. Leslie claims that her club (the Pawnee Goddesses) is better than Ron’s club. You may assume that the members who went on the camping trip are representative samples of their respective clubs. Please assume that “boy” and “girl” refer to each child’s self-identified gender.
During the weekend trip, Leslie proposes that the two clubs have a fishing competition to see if her club is better. To measure club superiority, Leslie is interested in comparing the long-run proportions of club members who can catch a fish within one hour. After fishing for one hour, each person caught at most one fish (either no fish or one fish). The results are shown in the two-way table below.
| Pawnee Rangers | Pawnee Goddesses | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caught a fish | 5 | 15 | 20 |
| Did not catch a fish | 13 | 17 | 30 |
| Total | 18 | 32 | 50 |
Define the following notation:
pR: the long-run proportion of Pawnee Rangers who can catch a fish within one hour
pG: the long-run proportion of Pawnee Goddesses who can catch a fish within one hour
Leslie used the two-sample z-test to compute a p-value of 0.0929, but Ron believes that Leslie's p-value is not valid. If all other things remain the same, how can Leslie fix the issue with her analysis?
Select one:
Ron is incorrect, all the conditions are satisfied for Leslie's analysis to be valid.
Increase the number of Pawnee Goddesses in the sample.
Increase the number of Pawnee Rangers in the sample.
Use the two-sample t-test instead of the z-test.

Tony’s favorite memories of his childhood were the times he spent with his dad at camp. Tony was daydreaming of those days a bit as he and Suzie jogged along a nature trail and came across a wonderful piece of property for sale. He turned to Suzie and said, “I’ve always wanted to start a camp where families could get away and spend some quality time together. If we just had the money, I know this would be the perfect place.” On November 1, 2022, Great Adventures purchased the land by issuing a $590,000, 6%, 10-year installment note to the seller. Payments of $6,550 are required at the end of each month over the life of the 10-year loan. Each monthly payment of $6,550 includes both interest expense and principal payments (i.e., reduction of the loan amount).
Late that night Tony exclaimed, “We now have land for our new camp;
this has to be the best news ever!” Suzie said, “There’s something
else I need to tell you. I’m expecting!” They decided right then,
if it was a boy, they would name him Venture.
Required:
1. Complete the first three rows of an amortization schedule.
2. & 3. Record the purchase of land with the issuance of a long-term note payable on November 1, 2022, and the first two payments on November 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022, and calculate the remaining balance of the note payable as of December 31, 2022. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
4. The 12 monthly payments in 2023 (following year) will reduce the note’s balance by an additional $44,856. How would the remaining balance of the note payable be reported in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022?
