On january 1, 2016, Knorr Corporation issued $1,000,000 or 9%, 5-year bonds dated January 1, 2016. The bonds pay interest on December 31. The bonds were issued to yield 10%. Bond issue costs associated with the bonds totaled $18,000.

Prepare the journal entries to record the following:

January 1, 2016: Sold the bonds at an effective rate      of 10%
December 21, 2016: First interest payment using the effective interest method
December 31, 2016: Amortization of bond issue costs using the straight line method
December 31, 2017: Second interest payment using the effective interest method
December 31, 2017: Amortization of bond issue costs rising the straight line method

Item 1Item 1 The usefulness of budgets, variances, and related analyses often depends on the accuracy of management’s estimates of future sales activity. Required 1. Identify and enter the 2016 and 2017 sales (in dollars) into a table for Apple and Google using their financial statements in Appendix A. 2. Assume that at the end of 2016 we feel Apple’s 2017 sales will increase by 5% from its 2016 sales. What is Apple’s 2017 estimated sales? 3. Assume that at the end of 2016 we feel Google’s 2017 sales will increase by 20% from its 2016 sales. What is Google’s 2017 estimated sales? 4. Using answers to parts 2 and 3, which company’s estimated 2017 sales is closer to its actual 2017 sales?

Use the following information about an economy that produces only two types of products, organic food products and beverages. Calculate the following for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, unless otherwise requested:

1. the nominal GDP
2. the real GDP using 2015 as the base year
3. the GDP deflator
4. the annual percentage change in nominal GDP for 2016 and 2017
5. the annual percentage change in real GDP for 2016 and 2017
6. the inflation using the GDP deflator for 2016 and 2017 (percentage

change in GDP deflator)

The reaction of nitric oxide, NO, with hydrogen, H₂, produces nitrogen, N₂, and water, H₂O, according to the equation

2 NO + 2 H₂ ? N₂ + 2 H₂O

A student obtained the following data:

(a) Determine the most probable rate equation for the reaction, with v for the reaction rate and k for the rate coefficient.

(b) Evaluate the numerical value (with units) of the rate coefficient.

(c) Choose the appropriate matches below. Note that some of the units have to be expressed in a particular way in the drop down menus, e.g. L⁴ shows as L4, s^-1 looks like s-1, L⁴ s^-1 looks like L4 s-1.

A group is defined as two or more people that are gathered together to for a common purpose (Warrick, 2016). Groups can then be broken into either formal groups or informal groups. Formal groups are created so that the individuals work together to achieve a specific outcome (Warrick, 2016). Formal groups are usually present with members of a department or a committee that oversees an operation (Warrick, 2016). While informal groups are individual’s that come together because of common interests (Warrick, 2016). Typically, people with shared sentiments like sports teams or people grouped together by location fall under informal groups (Warrick, 2016).

Teams on the other hand are two or more people that have interdependent role, complementary skills and a common purpose (Warrick, 2016). Teams usually have shared leadership responsibilities among members, evaluate success based on the team’s outcomes instead of the individual’s outcomes, and overall have a collective problem-solving style (Warrick, 2016). The interesting part is that all teams can be considered groups, but not all groups can be considered teams (Warrick, 2016). This is why managers and leaders would use different strategies to influence performance between groups and teams. Specially with teams, a leader will need to take steps to understand the type of team that they are leading. Whether the team is a self-managed team, a problem-solving team, a cross functional team or a virtual team (Warrick, 2016). All have different needs and will respond to different leadership styles. The leader will then want to assess the background factors such as the team’s goals, culture, team member characteristics and overall purpose (Warrick, 2016). Where as with a group, a manager most likely will have a more relaxed leadership style. Because groups are less formal and encompass a wide range of actives, leaders will most likely be less formal and cover a wide range of styles.

Observation: Hiking trails with more human foot traffic have less woody vegetation (e.g, trees) than hiking trails with less human traffic.

experiment:

• Three trails were assessed during this experiment: one where the foot traffic was measured to be 75-100 pedestrians passing by each hour, the second with only 25-50 pedestrians each hour, and one where there was only 1-10 pedestrians per hour.
• 10 x 10 foot quadrants were laid out at ten locations throughout the trail and the number of woody plants was counted and averaged.

Write a complete methods section describing your experiment design. This methods section should follow all the rules discussed in ecology lab.

7. Suppose that we are given that there exists a random variable X whose distribution is binomial with parameters are n = 500 and p= 0.300, and here X represents the number of desired outcomes of the random experiment and n-X is the number of undesired outcomes obtained from a random experiment of n independent trials. From this random experiment   p̂ sample proportion is found as X/n. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places in all parts.)

1. What is the expected value of this statistic?

Expected value:

2. Within what limits will 99% of the sample proportion occur?

Value of sample proportion is between …................ and …................

3. What is the probability that sample proportion exceed 0.353

3. As we have seen in class, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals are the most common inferential tools used in statistics. Imagine that you have been tasked with designing an experiment to determine reliably if a patient should be diagnosed with diabetes based on their blood test results. Create a short outline of your experiment, including all of the following:

1. A detailed discussion of your experimental design.
2. How is randomization used in your sampling or assignment strategy?
3. The type of inferential test utilized in your experiment.
4. A formal statement of the null and alternative hypothesis for your test.
5. A confidence interval for estimating the parameter in your test.
6. An interpretation of your p-value and confidence interval, including what they mean in context of your experimental design
