Companies HD and LD have the same sales, tax rate, interest rate on their debt, total assets, and basic earning power. Both firms finance using only debt and common equity, and total assets equal total invested capital. Both companies have positive net incomes. Company HD has a higher total debt to total capital ratio and therefore a higher interest expense. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $82,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 250,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $6,000. All three trucks were driven 79,000 miles in 2018, 56,000 miles in 2019, 51,000 miles in 2020, and 71,000 miles in 2021. Each of the three companies earned $71,000 of cash revenue during each of the four years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation. Answer each of the following questions. Ignore the effects of income taxes. d-1. Calculate the retained earnings on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?

QUESTION 5

In a large midwestern university (the class of entering freshmen is 6000 or more students), an SRS of 100 entering freshmen in 1999 found that 25 finished in the bottom third of their high school class. Admission standards at the university were tightened in 2000. In 2001, an SRS of 100 entering freshmen found that 15 finished in the bottom third of their high school class.

Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of all entering freshmen in 1999 and 2001, respectively, who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class.  

Is there evidence that the proportion of freshmen who graduated in the bottom third of their high school class in 2001 has been reduced, as a result of the tougher admission standards adopted in 2000, compared to the proportion in 1999?

Use this information to make the best match below as it relates to an appropriate significance test.

On January 8, the end of the first weekly pay period of the year, Regis Company's employees earned $20,760 of office salaries and $60,840 of sales salaries. Withholdings from the employees' salaries include FICA Social Security taxes at the rate of 6.2%, FICA Medicare taxes at the rate of 1.45%, $13,060 of federal income taxes, $1,420 of medical insurance deductions, and $880 of union dues. No employee earned more than $7,000 in this first period.

Required:
1.1 Calculate below the amounts for each of these four taxes of Regis Company. Regis’s state unemployment tax rate is 5.4% of the first $7,000 paid to each employee. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.6%.
1.2 Prepare the journal entry to record Regis Company's January 8 employee payroll expenses and liabilities.
2. Prepare the journal entry to record Regis’s employer payroll taxes resulting from the January 8 payroll. Regis’s state unemployment tax rate is 5.4% of the first $7,000 paid to each employee. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.6%.

Calculate below the amounts for each of these four taxes of Regis Company. Regis’s state unemployment tax rate is 5.4% of the first $7,000 paid to each employee. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.6%. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

• Record the employee payroll expenses and liabilities for the first weekly pay period of the year.

Note: Enter debits before credits.

• Record the employer’s payroll expenses and liabilities for the first weekly pay period of the year.

For those fortunate souls who do not need glasses, the lens of the eye adjusts its focal length in order to form a proper image on the retina. This typically means that very distant objects as well as objects as close as 25 cm can be seen clearly. Many of us need corrective lenses since the lens in our eye cannot adjust sufficiently to produce a clear image over the full range object distances. This may be because the lens itself does not adjust well or because the eye is either longer or shorter than ‘normal’. In the case of someone who is nearsighted (can see up close) the eye may only be able to see clearly items up to 50cm or 1m away (this would be the far point). In order to see something further away, a lens (either glasses or contacts) is used to produce a virtual image of a distant object at the person’s far point. Their eye can then accommodate the rest of the way and produce a clear image. Suppose a person who has a far point of 63.0 cm is trying to view a distant object. What is the focal length (with correct sign) of a lens that would take a distant object and make an image on the same side of the lens as the object a distance 63.0 cm from the lens? Incorrect.

Is the lens converging or diverging?

Lenses are prescribed in terms of their refractive power, which is expressed in terms of diopters (see the text or your favorite search engine for the definition of a diopter). What is the refractive power of this lens in terms of diopters? (do not enter units.)

In the case of someone who is farsighted, the eye is not able to focus clearly on objects closer than a certain distance. This closest point on which a person’s eye can focus is called the near point. In this situation the corrective lens is used to make an object closer than the near point produce an image further away from the lens at the near point. Suppose a person who has a near point of 53.1 cm is trying to view a book at a distance of 25.0 cm. What is the focal length (with correct sign) of a lens that would take the book and make an image on the same side of the lens as the book a distance 53.1 cm from the lens?

Is the lens converging or diverging?

What is the refractive power of this lens in terms of diopters? (do not enter units.)

Assume that you are one of six thousand people who live on the small island of Tap. This island is small and can only produce a maximum of six thousand bags of corn a year (ignore technological advances in corn production that are occurring elsewhere in the world). The six thousand bags of corn produced are just enough for the residents since each resident only earns enough to buy one bag of corn a year (a pity since the Tapese really love corn!). The currency on Tap is the US dollar. Now suppose that the government of Tap injects more US dollars into the economy, and the result is that person now ends up having twice the amount of US dollars as he or she did before. Make a logical prediction about prices of corn in the economy, and explain what principle of economics is illustrated in this scenario. Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English. Need this essay as soon as possible please!
