Reconsider your student ID in a binary format (as explained in the previous question) as the dataword.

2.1) Find the codeword corresponding to this dataword using the CRC error detection technique, and the divisor polynomial g(x) = x3 +x2 +1. Do Binary division with 0s and 1s.

2.2) Compute now the codeword corresponding to this dataword assuming that the divisor polynomial that is used is f(x) = x5+1. Do Polynomial division.

2.3) Assume that an error corrupted the first two bits of the dataword; show how the CRC technique allows you to detect such an error using the divisor of question 2.2.

My ID digits are: 706

The following scores are from an independent-measure study comparing two treatment conditions.

1. Use an independent-measures t test with α = .05 to determine whether there is a significant mean difference between the two treatments. 
2. Use an ANOVA with α = .05 to determine whether there is a significant mean difference between the two treatments. 

In 2012, XYZ Inc., a medical equipment distributor, sold 10,000 units of its hospital beds at an average price of $500 per unit. The company reported estimated returns and allowances of $200,000. The company purchased 11,000 units of its product from its manufacturer in 2012 at an average cost of $350 per unit. XYZ began 2012 with 1,000 units of its product in inventory (carried at an average cost of $300 per unit). Operating expenses (excluding depreciation) in 2012 were $400,000, and the depreciation expense was $100,000. XYZ had $2,000,000 in debt outstanding throughout all of 2012, which carried an average interest rate of 10%. The company’s tax rate is 40%. Its fiscal year runs from January 1 through December 31. Given this information, prepare the following documents: a. XYZ’s 2012 income statement b. XYZ’s 2012 ending inventory balance (both in unit and in dollar terms)

When people go on a diet they should lost on average 8 pounds in the first month of their diet. We let 68 try the “statistician’s diet” (every time you get hungry you decide to do some statistics instead) and find the average weight loss for this group of 68 people was 12 pounds with a standard deviation of 10 pounds for the first month they were on the diet.

a) At the .01 level did the diet increase the amount of weight lost? (p = 0)

b) Interpret the p-value obtained

c) Interpret the 99% confidence interval (computer says “over 14.2”)

d) Based on the results of this test would you go on this statistician’s diet? Explain

e) What is the only type of error that could have occurred

(16) 2. The average time it takes to take a stats test is 1.13 hours. I wish to test to see if the last 8 exams had a time that was different from normal. The average time to do the 8 exams was 1.2 hours with a standard deviation of .4 hours.

a) At the .05 level did the last exams take times that were of different length (p = .64)

b) Interpret the p-value

c) Find and interpret the 95% confidence interval (computer gives” .866- 1.534”)

d) If I take another of 8 exams would an average time of 1.3 hours be something I would expect to get? Explain

DP, Inc. produces parts for industrial grinders. The typical product goes through two processes, machining and finishing, before being packaged and shipped to the customer. DP holds no finished goods inventory. All production is triggered by a customer order. The company uses a traditional cost system and applies overhead to jobs based on machine hours.

The cost accounting manager at DP has been considering updating its cost system given the growth in overhead costs. He has collected data on the major categories of overhead. The estimated annual costs follow.

As part of the effort to determine whether it would be worthwhile to update the cost system, the cost accounting manager has collected data on three representative jobs completed in April. Data on those jobs follow.

The cost accounting manager has a tentative design for an ABC system to replace the current cost system. His system has five activities. Data on the activities and the cost drivers for each activity are given as follows.

Required:
a. What is the unit cost for each of the three jobs assuming DP, Inc. continues to use its current costing system?
b. What is the unit cost for each of the three jobs assuming DP, Inc. adopts the ABC system as designed by the cost accounting manager? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Billionaire real estate mogul Glenn Rhee owns two large parcels of land in Alexandria, VA: Greenacre and Blueacre. Greenacre is to the north and Blueacre is directly south. Both parcels of land are surrounded by protected conservation land. A state highway runs perpendicular to the properties.
Six years ago, Mr. Rhee decided to leave the real estate business and open a chain of pizza restaurants called “Maggie’s Slice.”
Greenacre was quickly purchased by Walker Treatment Inc., which is a hazardous materials treatment center. For the past six years Walker Treatment Inc. has crossed over Blueacre in order to reach the highway that runs perpendicular to the land. Greenacre does not have its own access to the highway. Walker Treatment Inc. uses the highway to pick up hazardous waste from all over the county and processes it at its treatment center. Occasionally, customers will transport their hazardous waste to Walker Treatment and cross over Blueacre.

Rick and Michonne Grimes have decided to purchase and develop Blueacre. They have plans to build a large shopping mall and high-end condos near the highway to attract commuters. They are also going to construct a large sound barrier wall to help improve the ascetics of the mall and condos.

Walker Treatment Inc. has now come to the Grimes asking for an easement to transport hazardous materials over Blueacre in order to reach their facility on Greenacre. Rick and Michonne consult their attorney for answers:

For this assignment, you are the attorney. Please write thorough responses to the Grimes’ questions below. How would you advise them on the following topics?

1. Are we in danger of losing our property through adverse possession? Why or why not?

2. As husband and wife, what are our rights in the property?

3. What if Walker Treatment possesses a nuisance with all their trucks, fumes etc. what protections will we have?

4. Are there any special protections against toxic waste?

5. Can the easement be terminated? If so how?

In the planning stage of an audit, auditors frequently consider certain financial ratios. For either of the following two ratios, which are at unusual levels, please state one kind of error or fraud which would explain why the ratio is at an unusual level this year.

Ratio #1   The number of days of sales in accounts receivable has increased from 35 to 60. The industry average is 34.       [Days of sales in accounts receivable = {ending accounts receivable /sales}*365]

OR      Ratio # 2   Salesmen’s commission expense = 4% of sales. Last year it equaled 7%.

Refer to the same two ratios as in the previous question. For the same ratio you discussed in the previous question, State one reason, that is not an error or fraud, which would explain why the ratio is at an unusual level this year. (This might be a business reason.)

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 million cases of cola were sold every month at a price of $7 per case. After the tax, 44 million cases of cola are sold every month; consumers pay $10 per case, and producers receive $4 per case (after paying the tax).

The future earnings, dividends, and common stock price of Callahan Technologies Inc. are expected to grow 6% per year. Callahan's common stock currently sells for $21.50 per share; its last dividend was $2.00; and it will pay a $2.12 dividend at the end of the current year.
