Research conducted a few years ago showed that 35% of UCLA students had travelled outside the US. UCLA has recently implemented a new study abroad program and results of a new survey show that out of the 100 randomly sampled students 40 have travelled abroad. Is there significant evidence to suggest that the proportion of students at UCLA who have travelled abroad has increased after the implementation of the study abroad program? Use a .01 significance level.

Tami Tyler opened Tami’s Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler’s personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company probably would have reported at least some profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product—a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

   Units produced31,400Units sold28,400Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $7.40Direct labor $6.20Variable manufacturing overhead $1.90Variable selling and administrative $6.90

3. During the second quarter of operations, the company again produced 31,400 units but sold 34,400 units. (Assume no change in total fixed costs.)

a. What is the company’s variable costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes for the second quarter.

Current (annualised) US Treasury spot rates are as follows:

Bond Cashflows:

Maturity: 2 years semi annual

Par value: 100

Coupon: 1.625/2 = 0.8125

6 months from now = 0.8125

1 year from now = 0.8125

1.5 year from now= 0.8125

2 years from now = 100+0.8125

From the US treasury spot rates above and assuming Z-spread of 35 basis points, calculate appropriate discount rates (implied spot rates) for this bond’s cash flows. Show calculations.
