Lisa is walking down the street in January when she notices a young man named Denny. Denny looks a little worse for wear, so Lisa offers to buy him lunch. As they are talking, Denny says to Lisa: “I’m in a pretty rough spot. I don’t have any money right now. But I promise to pay you $450 if you give me that coat you are carrying and some food (that sum represents the reasonable value of those items). Lisa responds: “How old are you?” Denny states that he is 20. However, this is a lie. Denny is actually 16. Lisa looks him over one more time, and she agrees to the exchange.
Before they leave, Denny says,"Actually, I will promise to give you another $50 if you let me borrow your bike."
Lisa writes down all of these promises into a contract. Both parties sign the contract, and they go to the bank and have it notarized.
A week later Denny trashes the bike, and he tells Lisa that he is not going to pay. Lisa sues Denny in court for breach of contract, and she learns that he is only 16.
What is likely to happen in the court case?

Ron Harbinger, a certified public accountant, has worked for the past eight years as a payroll clerk for Southeast Industries, a small furniture-manufacturing firm in the Northeast. Ron recently experienced unfortunate circumstances. His teenage son required major heart surgery and the medical bills not covered by Ron's insurance have financially strained his family. Ron is a hard worker and a model employee. Although he received regular performance raises during his first few years at the company, Ron's wages have not increased in the past three years. He recently asked his supervisor, Jesse Johnson, for a raise. While Jesse agreed that Ron deserved a raise, Jesse told Ron that he could not currently approve of one because of “sluggish sales.” Ron returned to his accounting duties while the financial pressures in his life continued. Two weeks later, when a salesperson, Laura Lumphouse, quit over a dispute with management, Ron came up with a plan. Since he processed employee terminations, time card approval, and paycheck distribution, Ron decided to delay Ms. Lumphouse's termination, then forge the time cards with her signature and cash her checks for himself. (Since he distributes the paychecks every two weeks no one would find out anyway.) In fact, no one ever discovered his scheme and Ron continued the practice for a full year, “earning” Ron an extra $90,000. 1. How does Ron's scheme affect Southeast's balance sheet (specifically Cash and Retained Earnings) for the year? Ignore income taxes. 2. How does Ron's scheme to continue to pay Laura affect the income statement (specifically Revenues, Expenses and Net Income)? 3. Use the fraud triangle from Chapter 4 to first identify the three elements of the fraud triangle and to explain how Ron violated each of these elements. Write two sentences per fraud element. 4.What internal controls could have been put in place to prevent Ron's paycheck scheme in the first place? (Don't make these up: use specific internal controls outlined in Chapter 4) Required: Answer the questions 1-4 (above) by Sunday evening then reply (thoughtfully) to two other students by the time the post closes on Tuesday night. Be sure answer in complete sentences and fully cite any references used (including page numbers or url). See Rubric for grading details. All posts will be graded for content, spelling and grammar. Suggested word count: 400- 600 words.

C++ program assignment asks to implement the following functions. Each function deals with null terminated C-strings. Assume that any char array passed into the functions will contain valid, null-terminated data. The functions must have the signatures listed below.
1. This function returns the last index where the target char can be found in the string. it returns -1 if the target char does not appear in the string. For example, if s is “Giants” and target is ‘a’ the function returns 2.
int lastIndexOf(char *s, char target)
2. This function alters any string that is passed in. It should reverse the string. If “flower” gets passed in it should be reversed in place to “rewolf”. To be clear, just printing out the string in reverse order is insufficient to receive credit, you must change the actual string to be in reverse order.
void reverse(char *s)
3. This function finds all instances of the char ‘target’ in the string and replaces them with ‘replacementChar’. It also returns the number of replacements that it makes. If the target char does not appear in the string it returns 0 and does not change the string. For example, if s is “go giants”, target is ‘g’, and replacement is ‘G’, the function should change s to “Go Giants” and return 2.
int replace(char *s, char target, char replacementChar)
4. This function returns the index in string s where the substring can first be found. For example if s is “Skyscraper” and substring is “ysc” the function would return 2. It should return -1 if the substring does not appear in the string.
int findSubstring(char *s, char substring[])
5. This function returns true if the argument string is a palindrome. It returns false if it is not. A palindrome is a string that is spelled the same as its reverse. For example “abba” is a palindrome. So is “hannah”, “abc cba”, and “radar”.
bool isPalindrome(char *s)
Don't get confused by white space characters. They should not get any special treatment. “abc ba” is not a palindrome. It is not identical to its reverse.
6. This function should reverse the words in a string. A word can be considered to be any characters, including punctuation, separated by spaces (only spaces, not tabs, \n etc.). So, for example, if s is “The Giants won the Pennant!” the function should change s to “Pennant! the won Giants The”
void reverseWords(char *s)
Do it without using a second array.
Requirements
- You can use strlen(), strcmp(), and strncpy() if you wish, but you may not use any of the other C-string library functions such as strstr(), strncat(), etc.
- You have to use C-Strings (null-terminated arrays of chars) for this assignment.
- Need to write a simple main() function to call all of your functions and show that they work.

Case Study (Part 2) – ACCT 3000 Semester 2, 2020
You are an Audit Senior on the AUDIO Health Limited (AUDIO) audit
engagement for the financial year ending 30 June 2019. AUDIO
specialises in the design and manufacture of implantable hearing
aids and invests more than twice the industry average in research
and development. While undertaking audit planning procedures you
become aware of the following:
AUDIO has been developing its latest hearing implant, the X5, for a
number of years. AUDIO has invested heavily in research and
development of the X5 and has capitalised a significant amount in
relation to the development phase of the product. Market studies
and prototypes of the X5 have proved successful for bringing it to
the market. In July 2018, AUDIO acquired two technologically
advanced machines specifically designed for manufacturing the X5,
at a cost of $15 million each. Production and sales of the X5
hearing implant commenced in October 2018, and demand for the
product has been extremely high since its launch. AUDIO has sold
large volumes of the product and further manufactured a large
stockpile of the X5 in anticipation of on-going high demand, and a
substantial number have already been implanted in patients.
There has recently been a sharp increase in incidences of the
implant shutting down post-surgery, resulting in a number of
patients commencing legal action against AUDIO for damages and
prompting the company to initiate a recall. Initial investigations
reveal that the defect is attributable to a design flaw. It is
likely that the product in its current form cannot be sold.
Management of AUDIO is confident that it will be possible to
re-engineer the two machines acquired for the manufacturing of the
X5 to enable production of its four other product lines and
potentially for other products currently under development.
You have raised concerns with AUDIO’s audit committee on improving
the competence and objectivity of the internal audit department.
Currently, the internal audit department is made up of three recent
graduates with no prior experience who periodically report the
Audio’s Chief Executive Officer Dr. Dave Bautista.
Required:
Prepare a memorandum to the audit manager, outlining your risk
assessment relating to AUDIO Limited. When making your risk
assessment:
(a) Identify three (3) key account balances from the information
provided that are subjected to an increase in audit risk. Briefly
explain what factors increase the audit risk associated with the
three (3) accounts identified. In your explanation, please mention
the key assertion(s) at risk of material misstatement.
(b) Identify how the audit plan will be affected and recommend
specific audit procedures to address the risks associated with each
account identified.

1.A firm estimates sales of $250,000 in December, $275,000 in January; $225,000 in February, $300,000 in March, $350,000 in April; $280,000 in May; and $300,000 in June. November sales were $225,000. The firm typically collects 20% of its sales in cash; 50% are accounts receivable paid the month after the sale; and 30% are accounts receivable paid two months after the sale. The firm’s cost of goods sold (raw materials) amounts to 70% of its sales. The raw materials are ordered two months in advance of expected sales, but are paid for one month after they are ordered. The firm has fixed costs of $3,000 per month for rent and $12,000 per month for other fixed operating costs. The firm has $30,000 per month in salary expense. Assume a starting cash balance of $0 but a minimum cash balance of $10,000 going forward. Prepare the cash budget for January through April. What is the maximum amount of short-term loan the firm will need during the relevant time period?
You may hand-write this part of the assignment and scan it to submit, or you may put it in Excel or Word to submit.
The Dawg Shop normally writes checks in the amount of $25,000 each day. It takes six days for these checks to clear. The firm receives checks in the amount of $22,000 daily but loses five days while they are being deposited and cleared. What is the firm’s disbursement float, collections float, and net float?
With its current system, it takes seven days from the time customers mail payments until The Wood Shed deposits them. A lockbox system would reduce this collection float by three days. If the Wood Shed receives an average of $3,000 in payments per day and its opportunity cost is 12%, how much should The Wood Shed be willing to pay each month for the lockbox system?
Compute the DSO (days sales outstanding) from the following aging schedule.
Account AgeAmount OutstandingAverage Days
0-30 days$75,00024
31-60 days$30,00040
Over 60 days$10,00065
5.The firm's average accounts receivable is $1,000,000 and is financed by a 7% annual interest bank loan. The firm is considering a regional lockbox system which it believes will reduce Accounts Receivable by 20 percent. The annual cost of the system is $20,000. What is the estimated net annual savings to the firm from implementing the lockbox system and should the firm use the system?
6.A firm’s average age of accounts receivable is 40 days. If the firm has annual sales of $650,000, what is the firm's average accounts receivable balance?

Read the passage given below, and answer the questions given at
the end. Each answer must be within the
word limit of 50-100 words.
Passage:
Students are responsible for familiarising themselves with the
University Code of Student Conduct, as on
enrollment with the University the student has placed themselves
under the policies and regulations of the
University and all of its duly constituted bodies. Disciplinary
authority is exercised through the Student
Conduct Committee. The Committee has procedures in place for
hearing allegations of misconduct. Copies of
the student conduct code are available at the Student Services
Office.
Academic dishonesty is never condoned by the University. This
includes cheating and plagiarism, which violate
the Student Conduct Code and could result in expulsion or failing
the course.
Cheating includes but is not limited to obtaining or giving
unauthorized help during an examination, getting
unauthorized information about the contents of an examination
before it is administered, using unauthorised
sources of information during an examination, altering or
falsifying the record of any grades, altering or
supplying answers after an examination has been handed in,
falsifying any official University record, and
misrepresenting the facts to get exemptions from or extensions to
course requirements.
Plagiarism includes but is not limited to submitting any paper or
other document, to satisfy an academic
requirement, which has been copied either in whole or in part from
someone else’s work without identifying
that person; failing to identify as a quotation a documented idea
that has not been thoroughly assimilated into
the student's language and style, or paraphrasing a passage so
closely that the reader could be misled as to the
source; submitting the same written or oral material in different
courses without obtaining authorisation from
the lecturers involved; or 'dry-labbing', which includes obtaining
and using experimental data from fellow
students without the express consent of the lecturer, utilizing
experimental data and laboratory write-ups
from other parts of the course or from previous terms during which
the course was conducted, and fabricating
data to fit the expected results.
Questions:
1. Arsal takes help from an online blog for his final essay
assignment. Although he does not copy the
exact words of the blog, the plagiarism check shows more than 60%
plagiarism in his essay. What do
you think could be the reason?
2. If you were in Arsal’s place, what steps would you take to
ensure the absence of plagiarism in your
essay?
3. How does one credit the original source consulted for the
information they have incorporated into
their work?
4. In your opinion, which sources (books, journals, blogs,
websites, social media, newspapers, magazines,
videos, etc.) are more reliable in terms of research and why?

Homework 5: Sigmund Freud
Freud’s general theory of personality is called ___________________ theory. While working with patients experiencing conversion disorders, Freud became convinced that all such cases were caused by unexpressed sexual motives.
Freud viewed the mind as being composed of the three parts. The ___________________ functions entirely at the unconscious level and operates according to the ___________________ principle, which attempts to satisfy its needs by using wish-fulfilling mental images. A second part of the mind is called the ___________________, which can be thought of as the executive of personality and helps us to deal with the world through the reality principle. The only part of the mind containing a sense of morality is the ___________________, which is created mainly by parents. Parental punishment creates the moral inhibitions called conscience, whereas parental rewards establish a standard of conduct called the ego ideal.
Freud believed that our personalities are formed as we pass through a series of developmental stages from infancy to adulthood. Stressful events experienced during a stage can leave the personality ___________________ at that stage. According to Freud, the developmental stages result from a shifting energy from one ___________________ zone to another. Since these stages represent the release of sexual energy, they are called ___________________ stages. The first stage, lasting from birth to one year of age, is called the ___________________ stage. If a person becomes fixated in the oral stage, he or she may engage in overeating and drinking.
The second stage of development, from one to three years, is called the ___________________ stage. Fixations at this stage may lead to a personality that is either stingy and compulsive, called ___________________ ___________________, or cruel and disorderly, called ___________________ ___________________.
From ages three to six, children are in the ___________________ stage, in which the genitals become the primary source of pleasure. During this stage, boys develop a sexual attraction to their mothers, referred to as the ___________________ ___________________. Boys also develop a fear of their fathers, called ___________________ ___________________. Girls develop desires for their fathers called the ___________________ ___________________. According to Freud, failure to resolve the phallic stage results in a phallic personality, characterized by egocentric selfishness, impulsiveness, and a lack of genuine feeling for others.
From ages 6 to 11, children enter
the ___________________ stage, during which sexual interest is
relatively inactive. From age 11 through adulthood, the individual
is in the ___________________ stage, in which sexual and romantic
interests are directed towards one’s peers. Most modern revisions
of psychoanalysis agree that Freud overemphasized
___________________ motivation, underemphasized positive
aspects of personality and the importance of relationships, and was
prejudiced against women.

You are expected to prepare a human pedigree detailing the
inheritance of a single
genetic disease or disorder.
The pedigree will be created from the following information:
● There are five generations.
● In generation 1, there are two families.
o family one, the male is affected; this family should be listed on
the
left.
o family 2 the female is affected.
● In generation 2 there are 12 individuals. Information on this
generation:
o family 1 had 7 children, family 2 had four.
o family 1 first three children were girls, the remainder
boys
o family 2 had a girl, two boys, and another girl.
o the eldest female of family 1 was married.
▪ She went on to have one daughter, and then one male,
affected
o the youngest male of family 1 and the eldest female of family
2
were married. This youngest male was affected.
▪ They went on to have five children. One girl, two boys, and
two more girls. The eldest boy, and two youngest girls were
all affected.
▪ The eldest daughter went on to have a boy and a girl.
o the youngest daughter of family 1, and both males of family 2,
were
affected.
● In generation 3 there are at least 9 members.
o The youngest girl of the merged family had two sons. The first
died
at birth and it is unknown if he was affected. The second was
affected
o The second oldest daughter of the merged family had one
affected
male. She was not married.
o A daughter was born, who was a descendant of family 1 only,
whose mother was unaffected
▪ Her father was affected.
▪ She also has an adopted brother
▪ She went on to have twin daughters
▪ She was not married
● In generation 4 there are 7 members.
o Four of five males were affected
● In generation 5 there are 2 members.
● Generation one is dead.
● Non-married partners are not included in the pedigree.
● Unless specified assume all individuals have married
parents.
● Unless specified, assume all spouses are unaffected
You will provide all genotypes for the second generation and ensure
all known affected
individuals are marked.
After depicting the disease on the pedigree, you should include
determine its dominant
or recessive inheritance pattern, and its autosomal or sex-linked
position in the human
genome. Then, you will research a condition that matches this
pattern and describe it in
full. Also, you should include a brief description of the
manifestations and clinical
outcomes of the disease. The written portion of the assignment
should be completed in
Microsoft Word.
