In preparing the consolidation worksheet for Pencil Corporation
and its 60 percent–owned subsidiary, Stylus Company, the following
consolidation entries were proposed by Pencil's
bookkeeper:
| Worksheet Entries | Debit | Credit |
| Cash | 100,000 | |
| Accounts Payable | 100,000 | |
| To eliminate the unpaid balance for intercorporate inventory sales in 20X5. | ||
| Cost of Goods Sold | 16,800 | |
| Income from Stylus Company | 16,800 | |
| To eliminate unrealized inventory profits at December 31, 20X5. | ||
| Income from Stylus Company | 196,000 | |
| Sales | 196,000 | |
| To eliminate intercompany sales for 20X5. | ||
Pencil's bookkeeper recently graduated from Oddball University, and
although the dollar amounts recorded are correct, he had some
confusion in determining which accounts needed adjustment. All
intercorporate sales in 20X5 were from Stylus to Pencil, and Stylus
sells inventory at cost plus 40 percent of cost. Pencil uses the
fully adjusted equity method in accounting for its ownership in
Stylus.
Required:
a. What percentage of the intercompany inventory transfer was
resold prior to the end of 20X5? (Do not round your
intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole
percentage.)
b. Prepare the appropriate consolidation entries needed at December 31, 20X5, to prepare consolidated financial statements. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

ChocAttack makes candy bars for vending machines and sells them to vendors in cases of 30 bars. Although Choc Attack makes a variety of candy, the cost differences are insignificant, and the cases all sell for the same price. ChocAttack has a total capital investment of $19,000,000. It expects to produce and sell 650,000 cases of candy next year. ChocAttack requires a 12% target return on investment. Expected costs for next year are: Variable production costs $4.00 per case Variable marketing and distribution costs $2.50 per case Fixed production costs $95,000 Fixed marketing and distribution costs $800,000 Other fixed costs $400,000 ChocAttack prices the cases of candy at full cost plus markup to generate profits equal to the target return on capital.
Read the requirements:

2. What is the selling price ChocAttack needs to charge to earn the target operating income? Calculate the markup percentage on full cost.
Begin by calculating the target revenues by working backwards from the target operating income.

3. ChocAttack is considering increasing its selling price to $13 per case. Assuming production and sales decrease by 6%, calculate ChocAttack's return on investment. Is increasing the selling price a good idea?

A publisher reports that 74 of their readers own a laptop. A marketing executive wants to test the claim that the percentage is actually different from the reported percentage. A random sample of 300 found that 70% of the readers owned a laptop. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to support the executive's claim?
A. there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the percentage of readers who own a laptop is different from 74%.
B.there is not enough sufficient evidence to support the claim that the percentage of readers who own a laptop is different from 74%.

Now, don't use the Empirical Rule to answer the same three questions. Be more precise and use the Normal CDF table, giving the percentage (all to 2 decimal places) of PE ratios that fall between. The price-earnings (PE) ratios of a sample of stocks have a mean value of 10.25 and a standard deviation of 2.6. If the PE ratios have a bell shaped distribution

You are an operations manager for American Airlines and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers with aisle seats. You want to estimate the percentage of passengers who now prefer aisle seats. How many randomly selected air passengers must you survey if you want to be 99% confident that the sample percentage is within 4.5 percentage points of the true population percentage? Assume that a recent survey suggests that about 34% of air passengers prefer an aisle seat.
