Demonstrate an understanding of an aspect of either Atkinson & Shifrin's model or Baddeley's model of memory. For instance, one stage of memory (Sensory, Short-Term/Working, or a type of Long-Term) can be defined and exemplified. Is there a factor that would impact the accuracy of encoding or retrieval for the memory chosen?
After establishing how memory works for most of us, examine one of the links for people with either incredible or impaired memories. Discuss one way in which the memory of one of these differs from most people's memory. Include differences in automatic or effortful processing if applicable.

create "bitty.c" that uses bitwise operators and return statements to implement the functions in "bitty.h".
"bitty.c" that can only implement "bitty.h"
_____________________________________________________________
bitty.h:
// Returns 1 if v is an even number, otherwise returns 0
unsigned char isEven(unsigned char v);
// Returns 1 if v is zero, otherwise returns 0
unsigned char isZero(unsigned char v);
// Returns 1 if a and b have the same value, otherwise 0
unsigned char equals(unsigned int a, unsigned int b);
// Returns a if a is greater than or equal to b, otherwise returns b
// You may use if but may not use comparison operators or else
// e.g. if(a) is allowed but if(a<b) and if(b==0) are not allowed
unsigned char geq(unsigned char a, unsigned char b);
// Returns the number of bits that are 1

Williams-Santana, Inc., is a manufacturer of high-tech industrial parts that was started in 2004 by two talented engineers with little business training. In 2016, the company was acquired by one of its major customers. As part of an internal audit, the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2016 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. The income tax rate is 40% for all years. |
| a |
A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2014 for $34,000. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time. |
||||
| b. |
Effective January 1, 2016, the company changed the salvage value used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $592,000 on December 29, 2005, and has been depreciated on a straightline basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $100,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $25,000. |
||||
| c. |
On December 31, 2015, merchandise inventory was overstated by $24,000 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system. |
||||
| d. |
The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2016 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $950,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2017. |
||||
| e. |
At the end of 2015, the company failed to accrue $15,300 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2015. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2016. |
||||
| f. |
At the beginning of 2014, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $700,000. Its useful life was estimated to be ten years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2015, was $448,000. On January 1, 2016, the company changed to the straight-line method. |

| g. |
Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.75% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2016. Credit sales for 2016 are $3,800,000; in 2015 they were $3,500,000.
