Explain the following two answers in detail: -
A. In an article that appeared in The Australian Financial Review on 26 August 2011 ('Apple could easily flounder without its founder' by Mark Ritson), it was reported:
The news that Steve Jobs has resigned from Apple and will be replaced as CEO by Tim Cook made global headlines yesterday What has followed since has been a frenzied discussion of what the loss of Jobs will mean for new product development timelines, share price issues and corporate culture. Apple's share price fell 5 per cent on the news of the resignation as questions were raised about Apple's prospects without its creative guru at the helm. But the real question for Apple as it enters its post-Jobs period is how well the brand will survive without the founder.
Required: - The fact that the share prices fell following the departure of Steve Jobs is consistent with the view that Jobs was an 'asset' to the company. How do you think this 'asset' would have been disclosed in the financial statements of Apple?
B. What is a contingent asset?
When should a contingent asset be disclosed within the notes to the financial statements?
If something is initially disclosed as a contingent asset, when can it subsequently be recognised as an asset within the financial statements? Briefly explain.

State whether the following passages contain an argument. Explain your answer by defining the concept of an argument and applying it. If the passages do contain an argument, identify the premises and the conclusions. (Each answer is worth 4 marks.)
1. Socrates and Plato are philosophers. All philosophers hate tomatoes. Hence, Socrates and Plato hate tomatoes.
2. Chaser is either a philosopher or a poet. He is definitely not a poet. Consequently, Chaser is a philosopher.

Q) State whether the following statements are true or false. Shortly explain your answer in 1-2 sentences.
a) The life cycle model of labor supply predicts that wage increases along the expected wage-age profile can lead to decreases in an individual’s hours worked.
b) In a model with a perfectly competitive firm, the two profit maximizingconditions VMP_E = w and MC=p are equivalent in the short run.
c) Labor Demand is more elastic in the long run than in the short run.
d) In a monopsony with a non-discriminating monopsonist the labor supply curve equals the marginal cost of labor

Your friend, Mona, sent you a paragraph below about Keto diet that she wrote. She knows that you are learning a lot about keto diet in Nutr 1100. Find 3 mistakes in the paragraph and replace them with the correct sentences.
"For meat lover, keto diet is for you. The keto diet is just about eating unlimited amounts of bacon, pork chop, and cheese. Keto also known as the ketogenic diet. It is a way of eating that allows the dieter to enter a state of ketoacidosis - your body is breaking down stored protein into molecules called ketones that are released into your bloodstream and flushed out in your urine. In order to get into this metabolic state, the diet consists of high-protein and very low fat foods. Studies have now shown that the diet can have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions: hair loss and epilepsy."

Statistics Problem:
You have been asked to engage in one final project for the political organization for which you have been working. This time you wish to study the nature of the relationship between the ages of the donors to the campaign and the amount of money they plan to donate or have donated. Data is collected from a random sample of supporters of the candidate. This data is shown on the next page. Various questions need to be answered about the results you generate. These questions follow the presentation of the data. You should answer the questions posed in the narrative that should accompany your results.

Part 1 Questions:
a) Create a scatter diagram of this data. Before you proceed further, make some observations about the behavior of the data, if you are able, based solely upon this diagram.
b) Find the regression coefficients and the regression equation for this data by using the method of least squares analysis.
c) On a separate scatter diagram, plot the regression line. State any additional observations about the behavior of the data you can make because of your new scatter diagram.
d) Provide meanings for each of the regression coefficients. Be sure these meanings relate specifically to the problem you are studying
e) Use your regression equation in order to predict the donation for a supporter who is 30 years old. Do the same for a supporter who is 80 years old. Do you have any concerns with either of these predictions? State a reason or reasons for any concerns you might have.
f) Find the sample coefficient of determination for the above data. Explain its meaning relative to the problem.
g) Find the adjusted sample coefficient of determination for the above data. Explain its meaning relative to the problem. Why does it differ, if it does, from the coefficient of determination that you found in the previous part of the problem?

Two professors at a local college developed a new teaching curriculum designed to increase students' grades in math classes. In a typical developmental math course, 53% of the students complete the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. In the experimental course, of the 14 students enrolled, 11 completed the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. Is the experimental course effective at the alpha equals 0.01 level of significance? Complete parts (a) through (g).
(a) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
(b) Verify that the normal model may not be used to estimate the P-value.
(c) Explain why this is a binomial experiment
(d) Determine the P-value using the binomial probability distribution. State your conclusion to the hypothesis test.
(e) Suppose the course is taught with 4242 students and 3333 complete the course with a letter grade of A, B, or C. Verify whether the normal model may now be used to estimate the P-value
(f) Use the normal model to obtain and interpret the P-value. State your conclusion to the hypothesis test.
(g) Explain the role that sample size plays in the ability to reject statements in the null hypothesis.

5. Design a dynamic programming algorithm to solve the following problem.
Input: An array A[1, . . . , n] of positive integers, an integer K.
Decide: Are there integers in A such that their sum is K. (Return T RUE or F ALSE)
Example: The answer is TRUE for the array A = [1, 2, 3] and 5, since 2 + 3 = 5. The answer is FALSE for A = [2, 3, 4] and 8. Note that you have to solve this problem for any array of size n and any integer K. Do not just solve the problem for the sample inputs above.
Explain
• what subproblems one must solve for this problem,
• what the recursive solution is, and
• the algorithm in pseudocode format. Explain your work in detail. Answers without explanation will not receive full credit. (20 pt)
