Meteorology: Storms Weather-wise magazine is published in association with the American Meteorological society. Volume 46, Number 6 has a rating system to classify Nor’easter storms that frequently hit New England states and can cause much damage near the ocean coast. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor’easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating.

(a) Let us say that we want to set up a statistical test to see if the wave action (i.e, height) is dying down or getting worse. What would be the null hypothesis regarding average wave height?

(b) If you wanted to test the hypothesis that the storm is getting worse, what would you use for the alternate hypothesis?

(c) If you wanted to test the hypothesis that the waves are dying down, what would you use for the alternate hypothesis?

(d) Suppose you do not know if the storm is getting worse or dying out. You just want to test the hypothesis that the average wave height is different (either higher or lower) from the severe storm class rating. What would you use for the alternate hypothesis?

(e) For each of the tests in parts (b), (c), and (d), would the area corresponding to the P-value be on the left, on the right, or on both sides of the mean?

Question #6. Independent cases:

A. On January 1, Nets Company paid $48,000 for a new delivery truck. It was estimated that the truck would be driven 100,000 miles during the next 5 years, at which time it would have a salvage value of $3,000. During the first and second years, the odometer registered 22,000 and 40,000 miles, respectively. Calculate the depreciation expense Nets Company needs to record at the end of year I & end of year 2. Nets Company uses the Units of Production method to account for depreciation. What is the book value of the truck at the end of 2nd year.

B. On Jan. 1, 2004, Cav Co., which uses straight-line depreciation, purchased equipment for $60,000 with a useful life of 7 years and $4,000 salvage value. On April 1, 2008, the equipment was sold for $30,000 cash. What gain or loss should Cav recognize as a result of this disposition? Indicate the impact of the disposition on the income statement & balance sheet.

C. On Nov. 1, 2005, GoodTaste Magazine received $36,000 of annual magazine subscriptions. On Dec. 31, 2005, the end of fiscal year, Management of GoodTaste decided to recognize the $36,000 as revenues for the year 2005. Do you agree with GoodTaste Management? Explain. How should GoodTaste Magazine report this in its financial statements as of Dec. 31, 2005?

Let Them Eat Rabbit Is Venezuelan President's Response to Food Shortages

Philip Reeves, National Public Radio, 14 September 2017

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has unveiled an unusual strategy to help ease the chronic food shortage faced by many of his nation's 30 million people — something he calls Plan Conejo, or "Plan Rabbit."

Maduro and his ministers are embarking on a somewhat surprising — and to many, alarming — campaign to convince Venezuelans to eat rabbits. They say rabbits will make an excellent source of protein for the large number of people who don't have regular access to red meat or chicken as the result of the country's economic collapse.

Maduro hopes the small mammal will counter the impact of what he calls a huge "economic war" waged against him by "imperialists" — notably the United States and his arch-enemy, President Donald Trump.

During a strikingly light-hearted televised discussion, a cheerful-looking Maduro told his cabinet on Tuesday that rabbits have the added advantage of, well, "breeding like rabbits."

The rabbit plan, however, has already run into a hole. While rabbit dishes are not uncommon elsewhere in the world, it's rarely found simmering away in Venezuelan kitchens. Rabbits in Venezuela are much more likely to feature as mascots for soccer teams or characters on birthday cards than as dinner.

Freddy Bernal, the Venezuelan government minister in charge of the plan, acknowledged during the meeting that there is a "cultural problem." His task is to change the widely held Venezuelan view that the bunny rabbit is a loveable friend — much like a kitten or a puppy — and has no place in the human digestive system.

And it's likely to be a difficult task. Bernal told his fellow ministers that during a pilot project for the rabbit plan, a batch of baby bunnies — to be used for breeding and, eventually, tossing into the cooking pot — were distributed to families in poor neighborhoods.

He said some people responded by tying bows around the rabbits' necks, giving them cute names, and even cuddling up with them in bed at night.

Reversing this pattern of behavior is part of the Venezuelan government's "battle to win the economic war," Bernal informed his colleagues. He's proposing a nationwide publicity campaign to convince Venezuelans that rabbits are actually "two and a half kilos of meat that is high in protein and without cholesterol," and not mascots or pets after all.

The amusement on display among Maduro and his ministers as they discussed the rabbit plan doesn't appear to be shared by many Venezuelans, who've faced serious struggles in recent months to afford — or even find — basic food items.

Contemptuous messages from Maduro's critics — some coupled with cartoons of a gloomy-looking Bugs Bunny — have flooded social media sites.

"Are you serious?" asked Henrique Capriles, one of the most prominent Venezuelan opposition leaders, in a video response to Maduro's plan, posted on social media. "You want people in this country to start raising rabbits to solve hunger in our country?"

The answer, it seems, is yes.

What economic decision always causes a shortage – any time, any place?

Harlequin Co. has used the dollar-value LIFO retail method since it began operations in early 2020 (its base year). Its beginning inventory for 2021 was $42,000 at cost and $78,000 at retail prices. At the end of 2021, it computed its estimated ending inventory at retail to be $132,000. Assuming its cost-to-retail percentage for 2021 transactions was 60%, what is the inventory balance that Harlequin Co. would report in its 12/31/2021 balance sheet?
