A TV company is interested in the people watching their period drama show “Downtown Castle” that is set in the early 1900s. They found an overall F-statistic suggesting that together, age and hours of free time significantly predicted the number of episodes of Downtown Castle that people watched in a sample of 30. The slope coefficient for age was 4.5, with a standard error of 2.5

Question1

Based on the Downtown Castle model, calculate the upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the age slope coefficient. You can select the critical t-value from the table.

Question2

Based on the Downtown Castle model, calculate the lower boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the age slope coefficient.

The poinsettia is a wildflower native to Mexico. It was almost unknown in the U.S. until the Ecke family began selling them in the early 1900s from their flower stand in California. A member of the Ecke family discovered a grafting process that resulted in a much thicker and more colorful poinsettia plant, which became hugely popular at Christmas. The Ecke family did not attempt to patent the grafting process, but instead managed to keep the process a secret for many decades, and so maintained a monopoly on the commercial production of poinsettias for all those years. Eventually, a university professor figured out the grafting technique, and published it in an academic journal. What do you think happened to the price of poinsettias after publication of that article? Why?

Case 18-1 Coffee Co.

Coffee Co. (the “Company”) is a global distributor of organic coffee beans and teas that is registered with the SEC in the United States. The Company’s operations are primarily located in the United States, Canada, and South America. In March 20X8, Coffee Co., looking to refocus efforts to only produce coffee products, entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Nature’s Beverage, a food distributor in the United States looking to expand its international footprint (the “Transaction”). Nature’s Beverage is registered with the SEC in the United States.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Coffee Co. provided a sublicense to Nature’s Beverage for the distribution rights of Coffee Co.’s South American local tea brand, Herbal T, whereby Nature’s Beverage will distribute Herbal T in South America. Under the Agreement, Coffee Co. transferred the existing customer contracts in South America to Nature’s Beverage and an at-market supply contract with the producer of Herbal T. Coffee Co. retained all of its employees and distribution capabilities.

The Transaction closed on March 1, 20X8 (the “Closing”).

Additional Facts:

• Nature’s Beverage incurred certain costs to acquire the sublicense of the distribution rights and a license to use the Herbal T brand. The costs included legal, accounting, and other professional or consulting fees totaling $50,000.

• Nature’s Beverage agreed to transfer to Coffee Co. $3 million for the sublicense of the distribution rights of Herbal T.

• Assume both companies have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.

  Required:

1. Does the acquisition of the sublicense by Nature’s Beverage to distribute Herbal T meet the definition of a business?

2. How should Nature’s Beverage account for the acquisition, including the treatment of the transaction costs? (Note that the response will be dependent on the response to Question 1.)

I only need the answer to question #1. I already asked this question before and I received an answer that was already on the internet. Please in your own words, answer question #1 using pronouncement ASC 805-10-55.

Since joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 China’s trade ties with Latin America have expanded rapidly. However, China’s relationship with specific Latin American sub-regions varies greatly. Describe the nature of China’s ties with Latin America and analyze the differences, for example, between comparative advantage in China-South American ties and competitive disadvantage in China-North and Central American ties.

During the 1800s, the British pound was the reserve currency of the world’s monetary system—countries conducted their international transactions in pounds. By the 1900s, the pound was replaced by the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency. Do you think that the dollar will continue to serve as the world’s reserve currency? Will the dollar be replaced by some other currency? Form an argument to justify your position on this issue.
