A 15 year old girl in a coma was brought to the emergency room by her parents. She has been an insulin dependent diabetic for 7 years. Her parents stated that there have been several episodes of hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis in the past, and that their daughter has often been “too busy” to take her insulin injections. The laboratory results obtained on admission are shown in Case study Table 14-5.1

A young engineer is evaluating a 5-year investment, by looking at the cash flows at the end of each year. The capital cost of the project is considered as occurring at the end of a hypothetical year, 0. The project has no start-up revenue, but requires a start-up capital cost of $50,000. The project promises revenues of $0, $20,000; $30,000; $40,000; $50,000, and $100,000; at the end of years 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. In addition to the $50,000 start-up cost at the end of year, 0; the project has operating costs of $24,000 at the end of each year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

The engineer needs to know the net present value of this investment at a given annual interest rate. This can be done by finding the present value of each yearly revenue, Bn, and each yearly Cost, Cn, at the given rate of interest, i. In this case, n, is the number of the year from 0 to 5.

The present value of a cash flow, Pn is given by the formula:

Po = Pn (1 + i)-n, where;

Po is the present value of a cash flow, such as Bn or Cn

Pn is the cash flow item in year, n.

n, is the year; 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5

i, is the annual interest rate expressed as a decimal.

  1. Please construct an excel spreadsheet to display this information clearly. Be sure to show; each year n; from 0 to 5, each revenue amount, Bn, each Cost amount, Cn. Also show the calculated present value of each Bn term, the calculated present value of each Cn term, the net present value of each year’s cash flow, and at the end, the total net present value of the investment. Assume an annual interest rate of 5% (0.05). -

  1. Use your spreadsheet to find the total net present value of the investment at an annual interest rate of 10%.

For a specific year, the average score on the SAT Math test was 525. The variable is
normally distributed, and the population standard deviation is 105. A superintendent wishes to see if her students scored significantly higher than the national average on the test. She randomly selected 45 student scores and the mean for this sample was 545. At α = 0.05 , is there enough evidence to support the claim?

μ = _________ σ = _________ n = _________ x̄ = ________
H0=_____ H1=______
▪ Find the critical value(s) from Table E and draw the graph
▪ Compute the z test value
▪ Reject or not reject:
▪ Summarize the results:

Exercise 2. Find the specific areas

Find the area under the standard normal distribution to the left of z=2.25
Find the area under the standard normal distribution to the right of z=−1.25
Find the area under the standard normal distribution between z=−1.5 and z=1.5   

Exercise 3. True or false

__________ If the correlation is positive, means that one variable causes the other.

__________ The z can be used when n ≥ 20.

__________ The z-test can be used when the population is normally distributed and σ is known.

__________ The correlation coefficient could be negative.

__________ Statistic is the science of conducting studies to collect, organize, summarize, analyze, and draw conclusions from data.

__________ Inferential Statistics consist on generalizing from sample to populations.

Exercise 4. To qualify for a police academy, candidates must score in the top 25% on a general abilities test.

Assume the test scores are normally distributed and the test has a mean of 300 and a standard of 25. Find the lowest possible score to qualify.

a. Suppose the management fee of $350,000 does not get collected this year but instead the contract just gets extended one year so that no money comes in to the city this year, but next year the team pays $350,000 and $350,000 for each year until the end of the contract. (The article doesn’t say how long the contracted management fee of $350,000 is in place or if the dollar value of the fee increases over time. For the purpose of answering this question consider a multi-year contract of “x” years so now it would be “x+1” years and that instead of the payments starting today in year 0, the payments start one year from now in year 1.) Does the delay in payment make any difference since the city will still collect the $350,000 just at a later date? Explain.

b. The city anticipated collecting just over $470,000 in an added city sales tax at the stadium and the surrounding business. Suppose the city thought now thinks there is a 40% chance that the sales tax would bring $260,000 and a 60% chance that it might bring in $150,000 depending on when the limitations in business/crowds due to the virus subsides. Calculate the new expected value of the sales tax.

You are a senior auditor working on the audit of HealthyGlow for the year ended 30...

You are a senior auditor working on the audit of HealthyGlow for the year ended 30 June 2015. You are in the planning stage of the audit. It is April 2015 and you discover that HealthyGlow has recently acquired two new, full-body scanning machines, representing the very latest in technology, at a cost of more than $10 million each. The machine enables a full 360 degree scan of the body with the ability to identify tumours, cysts and other abnormal internal growths which currently have a 50% probability of being detected with other scanning devices on the market.

Recent studies have shown there may be potential long-term side effects to patients who are scanned by the new technologically advanced machine. However, given the machine has only just arrived on the market, the results will not be known for many more years. This uncertainty and the potential high risk associated with the machine have caused bad press for both the scanning machine and HealthyGlow.

HealthyGlow charges patients a premium price for the scanning machine due to its advanced technological abilities. As a result of high demand, the hospital has decided to reserve the use of the machine for pre-paid patients only. All scans must be paid for in full by patients at the time of booking. Payments are immediately recognised as revenue by the hospital.

Demand for the scanners has been extremely high and HealthyGlow now has bookings for four months in advance. You note that even though it is only April 2015, the hospital has bookings for July and August 2015.

The Medical Association of NSW is currently reviewing the use of the scanning machines and may ban their use within Australia until the issue is resolved. The decision is expected to be communicated on 1 August 2015. Management have indicated there is an 80% chance the scanners will be given the go ahead.

Required

  1. Assess the main business risks for HealthyGlow.
  2. Identify two key account balances likely to be affected by the above information.
  3. For each account balance identified in (b), identify and explain the key assertion most at risk.
