Theory of Reasoned Action stresses the importance of attitudes and intentions in changing a behavior. According to this theory, the most important determinant of behavior is intention.23 Very few actions that produce a healthy outcome happen without ample knowledge and full intention to practice the healthy behavior. Two cognitive processes are at work to develop healthy behaviors: 1) belief about what significant others think, and 2) personal motivation to comply with those significant people. Other external variables that will influence attitudes and thus behaviors are internally processed within the context of significance. According to the Theory of Reasoned Action, people make rational decisions based on their knowledge, personal values and attitudes. Therefore, a person's intent to perform a certain action is the most immediate and relevant predictor of carrying out that action. Behavioral beliefs and normative beliefs are two kinds of beliefs that shape intentions.23 Behavioral beliefs are the attitudes held by the individual alone. A person forms attitudes based on relative risks, benefits, and possible outcomes. Therefore, personal knowledge and perception of personal health importance influence behavioral beliefs. Normative beliefs are those held by other people who influence the individual. If a certain behavior is expected or is the social norm, or is expected by someone of importance to the individual, those expectations will have a bearing on an individual's intentions and, therefore, affect his or her behavior. 23 Intentions will only predict behavior if they are stable and consistent.23 When faced with an unexpected obstacle, an individual might change his or her intentions and neglect to carry out the originally intended behavior. Another limitation of this theory is that intentions must be matched very closely to the behavior to have predictive power. Social norms and community expectations are powerful predictors of individual behavior, according to the Theory of Reasoned Action. When using this theory in a community intervention, the behavior of the collective community may be more easily predicted than that of the individual. Social norms do not change as readily as individual choices; therefore, social norms are more stable and provide strong normative beliefs to those in a close community. 23 The Theory of Reasoned Action helps explain an individual's perceptions of normal and expected behavior. The theory seems to be most successful in predicting behaviors that are completely within the individual's control and in which intentions remain stable, such as daily oral hygiene practices. Extraneous factors outside of the individual's control, such as fatigue or change of environment, may quickly change intentions and therefore change behavior and outcome. This theory has proven to be effective in influencing oral hygiene in young adults. The social expectations of the group had a strong influence on their oral hygiene behavior. 10,23 Applying this concept to patient education, a teenager may consistently practice oral hygiene at home, but a change in environment, such as moving to student housing at college, may change intentions and behavior. Fatigue associated with student life also might affect nightly oral health practices.

B. Please read the brief description and respond to the questions. Please be clear and specific. Check your work as this is not an easy problem. Situation: A small Canadian company has contracted to purchase 200,000 toys for 3.50 British pounds each, from a British company. The Canadians have agreed to pay for the toys in British pound sterling. The Canadians have also agreed to sell the toys to a U.S. company for USD$ 5.50 per toy. The Canadian company has agreed to accept U.S. dollars from the U.S. sales but plans to convert these revenues to Canadian dollars. The Canadian company estimates its marginal (additional cost per unit) costs (warehousing, insurance, transportation, and so on) as an additional Cnd$.75 per toy.

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:

1.During the second quarter of operations, the company again produced 33,450 units but sold 38,450 units. (Assume no change in total fixed costs.) What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

2.During the second quarter of operations, the company again produced 33,450 units but sold 38,450 units. (Assume no change in total fixed costs.) Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes (losses) for the second quarter.

The Taxpayer is a pioneer of nuclear medicine in Hong Kong. From 1980 to 1983, the Taxpayer was in private practice as a doctor. From about 1983 to 1989, he helped in the establishment of nuclear medicine services in a number of Hong Kong government hospitals. Sometime in 1989, the Taxpayer began to work in Country A as an Associate Professor at the Department of Radiology of the University B. Subsequently, he became the Chief of Nuclear Medicine Division and a Clinical Professor of Radiology at University B.

Dr H was a student of the Taxpayer back in about 1988. In around 1994, Dr H became the Chief of the Nuclear Medicine Division of the Department of Radiology and Radiotherapy (‘the Department’) of a Hong Kong private hospital (‘the Hospital’). In the later half of 1998, the Hospital wanted to expand its Nuclear Medicine Division with the purchase of a Cyclotron and a Positron Emission Tomography (‘PET’) scanner. Those were the latest medical technology. Dr H then approached the Taxpayer and persuaded him to come back from the Country A to work at the Department.

The contractual arrangement between the Hospital, Dr H and the Taxpayer may be seen to be somewhat unusual. The contractual arrangement was established via two companies, SA and

W. SA was a private company incorporated in Hong Kong on 28 July 1994. At all material times, Dr H and his wife were the only shareholders and directors of SA. W was a shelf company (incorporated in Hong Kong) acquired by the Taxpayer and it was activated on the 1 December 1998. On that day, the Taxpayer’s two brothers-in-law became shareholders and directors of W. They did so as the Taxpayer’s nominees. It is undisputed that the Taxpayer was at all material times the only beneficial owner and in control of W.

By a contract dated 27 October 1998 and signed on 2 December 1998 between SA and W (‘Contract C’), W agreed to procure the Taxpayer to work at the Department for five years from 1 December 1998 to 30 November 2003. Under Contract C, W was entitled to a monthly remuneration of not less than HK$220,000 and bonuses if certain gross receipt targets were met. By a contract dated 10 November 1998 between SA and the Hospital (‘Contract D’), SA agreed to assign Dr H and the Taxpayer to work at the Department for a five year period which mirrored that of Contract C. Under Contract D, SA was entitled to a remuneration of HK$440,000 per month and bonuses when certain gross receipt targets were met.

By an employment contract dated 1 December 1998 (‘Contract E’), the Taxpayer was employed by W to provide managerial and consultative services for a term of 10 years commencing on 1 December 1998. Under Contract E, W would pay the Taxpayer an annual salary of not less than HK$456,000 plus various allowances and benefits.

Under s 9A(1), the IRD believed that the relevant person was the hospital and the relevant agreement was Contract D. The IRD referred to s 9A when determining the taxability of the remuneration derived by W for the provision of taxpayer’s services to the hospital:

s 9A(3)(a): whether the agreement provided for various kinds of leave, allowances, pension entitlements, accommodation, etc. In respect of this section, both the IRD and the Taxpayer agree that s 9A(3)(a) has been satisfied

s 9A(3)(b): whether the tax authority is satisfied that the Taxpayer carried out the same or similar services for others during the term of Contract D

s 9A(3)(c): whether the tax authority is satisfied that the Taxpayer was subject to control or supervision commonly exercised by employer

s 9A(3)(d): whether the tax authority is satisfied that the Taxpayer was paid periodically and on a basis commonly used in employment contracts

s 9A(3)(e): whether the tax authority is satisfied that the Hospital had a right to cause the Taxpayer’s services to cease to be carried out in a manner, or for a reason, commonly provided for in relation to the dismissal of an employee under a contract of employment

s 9A(3)(f): whether the tax authority is satisfied that the Taxpayer held out to the public as an officer or employee of the Hospital

s 9A(4): whether the tax authority is satisfied that the Taxpayer was not in substance an employee of the Hospital

Question 1

Who was the relevant individual?

Question 2

To whom the remuneration for the Taxpayer’s services was paid?

Question 3

Besides s 9A(3)(a), all of s 9A(3)(b) to (f) have not been satisfied. Has s 9A(4) been satisfied?

1) E. coli infections can be deadly, especially when outbreaks occur from contaminated food sources and infect immune-compromised people. In 2006, an E. coli outbreak lead to almost 300 illnesses and 3 deaths. The source was eventually tracked to spinach grown in the Salinas Valley in California. The bacteria were actually inside the spinach leaves, having contaminated the water supply. The produce was tainted by waste from an adjacent Angus cattle ranch.

Suppose (very pessimistically) that a bag of spinach has a one in five chance of being contaminated with E. coli. What is the probability that a box of spinach (12 bags) has contamination?

What is the probability that a box is free of E. coli ?

If the likelihood that a bag of spinach is contaminated increases to 50%, what is the probability that a box is uncontaminated?

2. Working towards your PhD in biology, you are conducting a series of experiments evaluating the growth of wheat varietals in arid conditions. You know that the mass of an individual plant at peak maturity of the best varietal has a mean of 32g and a variance of 25g.

What is the probability that any individual plant of this varietal is less than 22g?

What is the probability that any individual plant is between 16g and 32g?

What is the probability that any individual plant is over 38g?

The other day a CPA friend of mine received a subpoena from the Alabama Revenue Department. The criminal investigation subpoena asked the CPA to produce his entire tax return files for a particular individual filer for the last three years. The CPA knew that this individual had taken some deductions and tax positions that were more likely than not to be disallowed but he though that they had say a 25% chance of being upheld. The CPA remembered that he did not get paid for doing this person's taxes last year but he has a history of being slow to pay.  Just never this slow before. Some of the things in the CPAs file might be embarrassing to the individual because the CPA advised the individual of the riskiness of some of his tax positions. Also, the CPA had up charged this individual a higher fee because of his slow payment history and because the CPA also had some risk on the tax positions taken. The subpoena says that if the CPA produced the requester a copy of the records by a certain date, (now 2 weeks away) then the CPA did not have to show up and testify. What are the CPAs ethical responsibilities and what actions should he/she take?
