Question 1
Jack is a restaurant owner in San Francisco downtown. Due to the recent coronavirus pandemic, he can now accept orders only for pickups and delivery services. This change in the format of incoming orders has made him revisit his assumption for daily estimation of order arrival. The reason why he needs to make this estimation, is for him to prepare the raw materials the night before, for the following day orders.
Based on his past experience, his assumption has been to expect around 18.5 orders a day. He also knows that regardless of season or the situation, the incoming orders always follow a normal distribution. However, to re-evaluate his assumption of 18.5 orders a day, he decided to keep a track of the total number of orders per day for about 10 days. Now Jack has come to you to help him evaluate the daily demand since he knows you are a pro in supply chain analytics.
Using the information that Jack has recorded in the table below, please calculate the upper and lower bound for a 90% confidence interval.

A) 90% Confidence interval lower bound
Round your answer to 1 decimal place (ex.: 19.4 for 19.432).
Answer:
B) 90% Confidence interval upper bound
Round your answer to 1 decimal place (ex.: 19.4 for 19.432).
Answer:
Question 2
After you reported the confidence interval bounds, Jack has come back to you for more information. He wants to know if his original assumption of 18.5 orders a day is still the same after the changes in the format of incoming orders.
Using the daily orders that Jack has captured during the 10 days, please run a hypothesis testing to check whether or not his original assumption of an average of 18.5 orders per day is still in line with the actuals that he has recorded.
H 0 : The average number of orders per day is equal to to 18.5
H 1 : The average number of orders per day is not equal to 18.5
A) What is the test statistic of this hypothesis testing?
Round your answer to 1 decimal place (ex.: 19.4 for 19.432)
Answer:
B) Based on the significance level of 10% (the same as the previous section), can we reject the null hypothesis?
No
Yes

Consider each of the following independent and material situations. In each case: • the balance date is 30 June 2020. • the fieldwork was completed on 25 August 2020. • the financial report and audit report were signed on 28 August 2020. • the financial report and audit report were mailed to the members on 1 September 2020. (i) Your client, Central Mining, owns a mineral exploration licence in Central Australia. At 30 June 2020 this licence was valued by an independent expert at $50,000,000. This valuation is reflected in the financial report. On 8 September 2020 Central Mining received notice that a claim was being lodged under the Native Titles Act for land which included that subject to the exploration licence. If the claim is successful the exploration licence will be worthless. (ii) Your client, Bird Pty Limited, derives approximately 10% of revenues from selling aviary supplies to city-based bird breeders. A draft copy of a government report, leaked to the press and reported in the media on 11 September, recommends that strict limits be placed on the number of birds that are allowed to be kept in suburban areas. Bird Pty Limited estimates that if the recommendations are enacted, about 70% of its customers will have to cut their flocks by 50% or more. This would affect not only future sales but also their ability to pay existing debts. No further information, other than the draft report, is available as at 15 September. (iii) Your client, Gem Pty Limited, made an out of court settlement on 1 August 2020 of $300,000. The settlement related to a litigation case dating back 4 years. A provision of $150,000 was recorded in the 30 June 2020 financial report. Ans; Since the settlement was done before the closing the Financial Statements so balance of $150000 (300000-150000) should be provided in the current year Financials. (iv) On 14 September 20X7, you discover that a debtor of your client, Galaxy Ltd, was placed in provisional liquidation on 8 September. The debtor owed $600,000 as at 30 June 2020; at this date the amount had been considered collectable by the company. (v) A flood occurred in the warehouse of your client SuperSpring Ltd on 21 September 2020. Inventory valued at $2m was destroyed. The directors believe only half of this value will be recovered from the insurers. Required: For each of the above events (i) to (v), state the appropriate action that the auditor would need to carry out in order to find out about the above and what the company would need to do for each of the above
