Meadows Laboratories holds a valuable patent for a “gazak”. The history of costs
associated with the “gazak” are as follows.
Date Activity Cost
2000 – 2001 Research conducted to develop “gazak” $117,000
Mar. 2002 Design and construction of a prototype 81,500
Oct. 2002 Testing simulations 36,750
Feb. 2003 Redesigning based on simulation results 41,250
Apr. 2004 Legal fees paid for patent granted May, 2004 69,955
May. 2008 Legal fees paid to successfully defend patent 23,205
Jan. 2010 Research aimed at modifying the “gazak” design 17,500
Oct. 2013 Legal fees paid to successfully defend patent 11,240
Meadows assumed a useful life of 17 years for the patent in May, 2004. On January
1, 2012, it revised its useful life estimate downward to 6 remaining years.
Amortization is computed for a full year if the cost is incurred prior to July 1, and no
amortization for the year if the cost is incurred after June 30. The company’s year
ends December 31.
Instructions – Compute the carrying value of the “gazak” on each of the following dates:

a. In 2002 to 2004, there were 4948 Ontario residents applied to the province’s medical schools. Of these 4948 applicants, 4588 were from urban areas and the rest were from rural areas. Statistics Canada reported that 13% of the Ontario’s population live in rural areas. Do the data suggest that rural students were underrepresented among the applicants for this two-year period? Perform the test at the significance level of 0.01.
b. Assume a sample (x1, . . . , xn) from a normal population with mean µ and a known variance σ02. A researcher is interested in testing if the true population mean is greater than µ0. Find the range of the sample mean x̅ such that the researcher will reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance.
c. The result in part (b) is known as the rejection region. It is given to you that from a given sample, we have n = 25, σ02 = 4 and the rejection region obtained in part (b) is x̅ > 1.658. What is the chance of a sample mean falling in the rejection region if the true µ is 2?

On January 1, 2005, Eden Ventures, Inc., received a three-year, $1 million loan with interest payments due at the end of each year and the principal to be repaid on December 31, 2004. The interest rate for the first year is the prevailing market rate of 9 percent, and the rate each succeeding year will be equal to the prevailing market rate on January 1 of that year. Eden also entered into an interest rate swap agreement related to this loan. Under the terms of the swap agreement, in the years 2003 and 2004, Eden will receive a swap payment based on the principal amount of $1 million. If the January 1 interest rate is greater than 9 percent, Eden will receive a swap payment for the difference; and if the January 1 interest rate is less than 9 percent, Eden will make a swap payment for the difference. The swap payments are made on December 31 of each year. On January 1, 2003, the interest rate is 8 percent, and on January 1, 2004, the interest rate is 12 percent.
Requirements :
Make the journal entries for the interest rate swap on Eden's Books
at the dates shown below ( assume the interest rate swap is not
designated as hedging instrument) ignore the hedged item, example,
the loan). For purposes of estimating future swap payments,assume
that the current interest rate is the best forecast of the future
interest rate ( round all entries to the nearest dollar)
