Amos purchases an auto insurance policy in the amount of $900. Check # 1005 is issued to Farm Town Insurance. The policy is for 6 months and covers the period from 6/16 – 12/15. In order to provide Amos with accurate accounting information, expense the policy evenly over each of the six months.

Amos pays $1,200 (ck # 1013) for a one-year liability insurance policy. The policy coverage takes effect on August 1.

What will the adjusted entry for trial balance for September be???

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.15 0.15 gallons. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 3.61 3.61 gallons and the mean is 17.3 17.3 gallons per day. If they are using a 90% 90% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of water? Round your answer up to the next integer

This week we will be studying budgeting in governmental entities. Locate a recent article from your local city, town, or state that focuses on budgeting. Summarize the article in your own words and relate the discussion to any of the topics that we cover during this week. Identify any funds mentioned or implied in the article, as well as how the article relates to the budgeting process used by government entities. How does the article relate to what you have learned about internal and external users of the government's budget?

You would like to establish a WAN connectivity between your local offices across town. You are considering the use of a wireless solution. Complete and document research on the technology available to support the establishment of a WAN. Your document should address the following:

• At least 2 available solutions
• Benefits of this form of implementation
• Costs associated with the implementation of each solution
• A summary of 2–3 paragraphs stating which solution you have decided to implement and what motivated the decision

Nikita is the manager of a local small hotel. Just today Nikita received word that a major convention will be coming to town next month, and the demand for hotel rooms is expected to skyrocket. In a conversation with the owner, she asked, "What should our approach to pricing be for the week of the convention? Should we require payment in full at the time of the reservation?" Which management method is Nikita using?

Binomial Hypothesis Test.

While this method is limited in the type of data it can handle (binary - "success/failure" outcomes), it is powerful in providing figures of authority with scientific information off of which to base important decisions.

There is a limitation to using this method and, statistically, this notion refers to the "power" of a test.

First, let's suppose that you are a disease outbreak coordinator for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. A recent flu outbreak has led to a successful recovery without long-term problems with probability 93%. Your team runs a test in a small town and determines that, in 20 people, 19 successfully recovered. If you hypothesize that this small town has a higher recover rate, will you be able to reject the null hypothesis with alpha = 0.05? What if 20 successfully recovered? Provide your alpha-observed in both cases.

What your figures in the above two questions reveal is a lack of statistical power. That is, with such a huge probability of success and small sample size, it is hard to fall below the set level of alpha. One option proposed is to increase the sample size.

What is the smallest sample size needed so that it would be possible to reject the null hypothesis? Out of this sample size, how many "successes" would it take to fall in the cut-off region (i.e. alpha-observed <= alpha)?

Apple Mountain Pie Company makes apple pie filling for the consumer market. They are the only firm in the town of Walnut Hills and they, therefore, face an upward sloping labor supply curve: Es = 20w − 120, where E is the number of workers hired each hour and w is the hourly wage rate. Thus, Apple Mountain faces an upward sloped marginal cost of labor curve of MCe = 6 + 0.1E. For simplicity, assume a perfectly elastic labor demand curve. Each hour of labor produces 10 cans of pie filling that can be sold at $5 per can. There are no other costs of production for Apple Mountain.

a. How many workers should Apple Mountain hire each hour to maximize profits and at what wage?

b. Now assume that a wizard moves to Walnut Hills who can determine, just by looking at \them, what each person’s reservation wage is in the town. If he decides to help out the Apple Mountain Pie Company so that they can perfectly discriminate, what would be the number of workers and the wage offered by the pie company now?

c. Compare the wages and levels of employment. Is this what we would expect from a non-discriminating monopsonist vs. a perfectly discriminating monopsonist?

A cosmopolitan area was deciding what form of security to use in its subway systems. The city ultimately decided to use metal detectors at the entrance of the subway, but it still must hire security personnel to patrol the area. The town currently uses both city police officers (P) and privately contracted security guards (G). The annual cost of one police officer is $65,000 in wages and benefits, while security guards only cost the city $35,000 per year on average. Each security guard reduces the number of muggings and violent crimes by 2 annually and deters 25 free riders. However, because of their focus on more serious crimes, a police officer only deters 15 free riders annually, but their presence prevents an estimated 6 muggings and violent crimes annually. The city must decrease muggings and violent crime by 250 incidents and reduce the number of free riders by 1,000. The town must have at least 12 police officers dedicated to patrolling subways, and because of a previously existing contract, they must employ at least 20 security guards. The city’s objective is to meet these constraints with the least cost combination. How many city police officers and privately contracted security guards should the city hire?

In many cities and towns across the United States, the numbering system of the roads is based on a grid, similar to the latitude and longitude lines on a globe. Suppose the green lines in the following graph represent two east-west and two north-south running roads in a Midwestern town.

Write equations for the two horizontal and two vertical lines that represent roads in the town.






2. The Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) in Chicago, Illinois, is the tallest building in the United States. Measuring 1,450 feet, the tower contains 110 stories filled with a combination of office and retail space. The base of the tower is made up of nine 75’ × 75’ squares. Suppose the square graphed on the coordinate plane below represents the base of the Willis Tower.

Write equations for the two horizontal and two vertical lines that pass through the square.



3. Think of another real-world situation that might involve horizontal and vertical lines. Write a description of the situation and draw the graph of a coordinate plane with two horizontal and two vertical lines to represent your situation. Draw the lines so that two of them pass through positive values and the other two pass through negative values on the coordinate plane. Then write equations for all four of the lines on your graph.
