At the beginning of the year, Robinson County acquired a new storage building under a capital lease agreement.
An initial payment of $700,000 is made to start the lease with four subsequent payments for the same amount at the end of each year starting in late 20X7.
The total lease payment amount for the duration of the lease is $3,500,000.
The present value of the lease at the inception is $3,485,000, including the initial payment. The county borrowed the funds for four years at an annual interest rate of 7%.
At the creation of the lease, the building’s fair value is $3,700,000.
Required:
Evaluate the classification of the building as a capital lease. Discuss if this is the proper classification and how you concluded on this classification.
Prepare the journal entries in the capital projects fund, the debt service fund, and the governmental activities journal for the beginning of the lease.
Prepare the journal entries in the debt service fund and governmental activities journal for the end of the initial year payment.
At the end of the initial year, what financial statement(s) would be prepared to show the assets and the liabilities pertaining to the capital lease? What is the total that would be reported in the liability section of this financial statement?
Paper Requirements:

2. In a study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 39 were smoking on year after the treatment, and 32 were not smoking one year after the treatment (based on data from “high dose nicotine patch therapy, “by Dale et al. Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol 274, No 17). We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking a year after the treatment.

1. Practice with the best case:You are the central banker, and you have to decide how fast the money supply should grow. Your economy gets hit by the following AD shocks and your job is simply to neutralize them: Just push money growth in the opposite direction of the shock. In all of the following cases, assume that there’s no change whatsoever to the potential growth rate, and assume that before the shock, you’re at your optimal inflation rate and optimal real growth rate. (Yes, this really is the best case!) These are all shocks, so think of each case study as preceded by the word, “Suddenly. . . .” Given the shocks to ?v , should the central bank react by raising money growth or by cutting money growth?

Find an article regarding a network problem that occurred in the past 6 to 8 months. Be sure to pick an article that reports on a problem that relates back to a topic covered in class. The problem could be related to security, design, redundancy, etc. (Top Down Network Design)
Choose your article wisely! If you cannot respond to the requirements of the assignment then choose a different article or find supporting articles that will help.
The article cannot be about Heartbleed, Target, Sony or Yahoo!
Imagine that you are a network administrator working for the company in question. Write a one page memo to your manager about the problem and how to prevent it.
Your memo should include the following information:
• A link to the original article
• A brief summary of the problem
o When did the problem occur?
o How did the problem occur?
o Who was affected? o
How many users (or sites or companies) were affected?
o Were specific locations affected? o Were specific users affected?
• An analysis of the effect of the problem on the company or customers.
What are the consequences of this problem?
• Your suggestions on what they could have done to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place OR what they could do to prevent the problem from occurring again in the future. Format: Microsoft Word or compatible document

Problem 3 :
In lab lecture notes and demo code, I simulated random samples from Exp(1) to verify classical central limit theorem numerically. I also stressed that no matter what type of random samples you use, the standardized partial sum Sn always converge to N(0, 1). In this problem, simulate random samples from the following distributions:
1. Bernoulli(0.5) with µ = 0.5 and σ^2 = 0.25. (Hint: You can use rbinom to generate Bernoulli random numbers.) 1
2. Uniform(0, 1) with µ = 0.5 and σ^2 = 1/12.
3. Possion(1) with µ = 1 and σ^2 = 1.
For each case, set simulation times N to be 1000 and for each simulation, generate n = 2000 random numbers. Report 3 pieces of code, 3 Q-Q plots and your conclusion. To get all the answers, you only need slightly adjust my demo code

Material Safety Data Sheets or Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS) – The Worker’s Right to Know Law grants employees the right to know the hazards of all chemicals in their work place. These hazards can be found in the MSDS or SDS forms that employers are required to maintain for all hazardous chemicals used at the facility. MSDS and SDS are very similar, but the latter is an updated version designed to increase consistency.
MSDS/SDS: (10pts) (need word file) and post the sources where to find that information
Sources of MSDS/SDS: (1pt)
1, What is the definition of LD50? Identify the source of this definition. (1pt)
2. Assuming that these compounds are similarly toxic to humans, how much of each compound would be required to reach the LD50 for a 150 pound human? Show your calculations. (4pts)

Suppose that you are an elementary school teacher and you are
evaluating the reading levels of your students. You find an
individual that reads 56.2 word per minute. You do some research
and determine that the reading rates for their grade level are
normally distributed with a mean of 95 words per minute and a
standard deviation of 22 words per minute.
a. At what percentile is the child's reading level (round final
answer to one decimal place).
b. Create a graph with a normal curve that illustrates the
problem.
For the graph do NOT make an empirical rule graph, just include the
mean and the mark off the area that corresponds to the student's
percentile. There is a Normal Distribution Graph generator linked
in the resources area. Upload file containing your graph
below.
c. Make an argument to the parents of the child for the need for
remediation. Structure your essay as follows:

Wage information collected by the Census Bureau shows the number of workers being paid at or below minimum wage between 1979 to 2017. The survey runs monthly with sample sizes of 60,000 men and 60,000 women participants.
The wages of men paid at or below minimum wage showed a mean of 1393 workers and a std. deviation of 589 workers.
The wages of women paid at or below minimum wage showed a mean of 2511 workers and a std. deviation of 1107 workers.
1. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true population mean of men that are being paid at or below minimum wage:
< (enter a variable or word) < (remember to round up to nearest integers)
2. Is this a t-distribution or z-distribution? (answer 't' or 'z')
3. What are the critical values associated with your given significance level α? (separate your answers by comma and round to 2 decimals)
