Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndt's depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow?
-Select-IIIIIIIVV
I. If depreciation doubled, taxable income would not be affected since depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses. Net cash flow would also be unaffected.
II. If depreciation doubled, taxable income would not be affected since depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses. Net cash flow would double.
III. If depreciation doubled, taxable income would fall to zero, taxes would be zero, and net cash flow would be unaffected.
IV. If depreciation doubled, taxable income would fall to zero, taxes would be zero, and net cash flow would rise.
V. If depreciation doubled, taxable income would fall to zero, taxes would be zero, and net cash flow would decline.

Now suppose that Congress changed the tax law such that, instead of doubling Berndt's depreciation, it was reduced it by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected?
-Select-IIIIIIIVV
I. If depreciation were halved, taxable income and taxes would rise but net cash flow would fall.
II. If depreciation were halved, taxable income, taxes, and net cash flow would all rise.
III. If depreciation were halved, taxable income and taxes would decline but net cash flow would rise.
IV. If depreciation were halved, taxable income, taxes, and net cash flow would all decline.
V. If depreciation were halved, taxable income and net cash flow would rise but taxes would fall.

If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved? Why?
-Select-IIIIIIIVV
I. You should prefer to have higher depreciation charges and therefore higher net income. Net cash flows are the funds that are available to the owners to withdraw from the firm and, therefore, cash flows should be more important to them than net income.
II. You should prefer to have higher depreciation charges and therefore higher cash flows. Net cash flows are the funds that are available to the owners to withdraw from the firm and, therefore, cash flows should be more important to them than net income.
III. You should prefer to have lower depreciation charges and therefore higher cash flows. Net cash flows are the funds that are available to the owners to withdraw from the firm and, therefore, cash flows should be more important to them than net income.
IV. You should prefer to have higher depreciation charges and therefore higher net income. Net income represents the funds that are available to the owners to withdraw from the firm and, therefore, net income should be more important to them than net cash flows.
V. You should prefer to have lower depreciation charges and therefore higher net income. Net income represents the funds that are available to the owners to withdraw from the firm and, therefore, net income should be more important to them than net cash flows.

How sensitive to changes in water temperature are coral reefs? To find out, scientists examined data on sea surface temperatures and coral growth per year at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Scientists examined data on mean sea surface temperatures (in degrees Celsius) and mean coral growth (in centimeters per year) over a several‑year period at locations in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The table shows the data for the Gulf of Mexico.

a) Use software to find the mean and standard deviation of both sea surface temperature ?x and growth ?y and then find the correlation ?r between ?x and ?.y. Enter your answers in the answer fields using the specific decimal place precision noted.

?¯ (rounded to four decimal places)=

?? (rounded to four decimal places)=

?¯ (rounded to two decimal places)=

?? (rounded to four decimal places)=

? (rounded to four decimal places)=

(b) Use these basic measures to find the equation of the least‑squares line for predicting ?y from ?.x. Give the slope and the intercept, rounding both to four decimal places.

slope=

intercept=

(c) Choose the best explanation that describes in words what the numerical value of the slope tells you.

Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.255.25 more degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.

Every increase in coral growth of one centimeter will result in an average of 5.255.25 fewer degrees Celsius of sea surface temperature per year.

Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.15780.1578 more centimeters of coral growth per year.

Every increase in sea surface temperature of one degree Celsius will result in an average of 0.15780.1578 fewer centimeters of coral growth per year.

Hello,

I’m having some trouble making changes to the Cellphone and the associated tester class;

Any help is appreciated !

1. Cellphone class;

-Implement both get and set methods for all 3 attributes or fields of the class

- Fields/Attributes are all initialized using the setter methods and there’s no need to initialize them using the contractor.

2) Tester Class;

-Create the objects using the default constructor. This is the constructor with no parameter

-Call the set methods of all 3 fields/attributes to set their initial values.

-No changes to the other functionalities of the tester class.
