Larissa has been talking with the company’s directors about the future of East Coast Yachts. To this point, the company has used outside suppliers for various key components of the company’s yachts, including engines. Larissa has decided that East Coast Yachts should consider the purchase of an engine manufacturer to allow East Coast Yachts to better integrate its supply chain and get more control over engine features. After investigating several possible companies, Larissa feels that the purchase of Ragan Engines, Inc., is a possibility. Ragan Engines, Inc., was founded nine years ago by a brother and sister—Carrington and Genevieve Ragan—and has remained a privately owned company. The company manufactures marine engines for a variety of applications. Ragan has experienced rapid growth because of a proprietary technology that increases the fuel efficiency of its engines with very little sacrifice in performance. The company is equally owned by Carrington and Genevieve. The original agreement between the siblings gave each 150,000 shares of stock. Last year, Ragan had an EPS of $5.35 and paid a dividend to Carrington and Genevieve of $320,000 each. The company also had a return on equity of 21 percent. Larissa tells Dan that a required return for Ragan of 18 percent is appropriate.

Assuming the company continues its current growth rate, what is the value per share of the company’s stock? You must show all your works for the full credits.

A young man reflects on the delights of being in love, the disappointments of early career,...

A young man reflects on the delights of being in love, the disappointments of early career, and the decision to make a change.
In the course of our courting, there were frisbees-a-flying, beers-a-flowing, big bad barbeques, and more than a smattering of smooching and cuddles. Being together was easy and always.
We married in 1997, healthy, happy, and excited about our lives. All that we wanted was to be together and continue the fun and goofiness that attracted us to each other in the first place. Simple enough, seeing that we were getting married and all, right?
Change from 1998–2007 included such delights as increased pant sizes, long work hours, more doctor visits, decreased intimacy, a slump in the fun fund, fewer hours together, lack of peaceful sleep, lack of creative endeavors, and an increase in mindless spending, just to name a few.
What the hell happened during this nine year black hole of productivity, progress, and pleasure? Work happened. Two crappy jobs that we allowed to suck the life right out of us.
Fun, where ever did you go?
Mornings were filled with sullen grunts, brooding silences, sick heads and stomachs, and occasional weeping. Yes, even that. Evenings were a noxious mixture of prickliness and anxiety with the additional strain of trying to show love in the absence of the resources to make it so. The night was all tossing and turning with our minds running and repeating disturbing scenarios of the following day despite total exhaustion.

Finally, we admitted that we were very unhappy apart from each other, so we quit and opened our own guitar studio.
Sullen morning grunts became laughter and five mile walks. The death defying and lonely commute became an animated discussion or business meeting on the way to the studio. Our commute now enjoyed together. Incompetent coworkers became employees of the month – every month. We really did hang an award on the wall of the studio too. Work hours got slashed by 50%. Evenings became filled with conversation, reading, and excitement over our tasty vittles. I can feel the excitement over the changes even now as I write and relive the lifting of the immense burdens of the past! Before we sleep, there is usually one more fit of giggles about some asinine thing we said or did. And night time now was filled with blissful, peaceful, complete, high-quality sleep – oblivion.
We wanted and got our time together back. And now that we have it, we clench it in our jaws like a rabid Tasmanian devil with a chip on its striped shoulder. And fun has returned screaming with vengeance.

1.The revenue recognition standard, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, states a specific approach should be used by companies to recognize revenue. The standard:

a.Requires an asset-liability approach because an asset or a liability may stem from the terms of the contract and measuring the change in the asset or liability over the life of the contract results in a disciplined approach to measuring and recognizing revenue.

b.Requires an earned-realized approach because the contract will result in revenue being earned and the collection of payment from the customer will result in the realization of the earned revenue.

c.Requires companies to recognize revenue by using a liability-equity approach because a contract results in a company’s promise to perform a service and the company reports that promise as a liability until the service is completed. Further, a company’s equity is increased because net income is closed to retained earnings.

d.Requires companies to recognize revenue by using an asset-equity approach because revenue typically results in an increase in assets through the collection of cash or recognition of accounts receivable and an increase in equity through the closing of net income to retained earnings.

2. Which type of transaction generally results in revenue being recognized with the passage of time?

a. Sale of an asset other than inventory.
b. Sale of product from inventory.
c. Rendering a service.
d. Customer controls the asset as it is created or the company does not have an alternative use for the asset.

(Round the test statistic to two decimal places and the p-value four decimal places). z = p-value = f) Based on the p-value, give a conclusion in terms of the alternative. There is suggestive, but inconclusive evidence that the proportion of college students who believe in extraterrestrial life is greater than 0.47. There is convincing evidence that the proportion of college students who believe in extraterrestrial life is greater than 0.47. There is moderately suggestive evidence that the proportion of college students who believe in extraterrestrial life is greater than 0.47. There is no evidence that the proportion of college students who believe in extraterrestrial life is greater than 0.47.

  • stating your null hypothesis, alternate hypothesis, defining the critical regions, and drawing out your critical regions in a t-distribution.
  • your SPSS outputs.
  • reporting the descriptive statistics for each group, the t-statistic, df, p-value, and confidence intervals.
  • showing your effect size calculations, including an interpretation of what the effect size 'means'.
  • reporting whether the differences between the conditions/ groups was/was not significant. Present your findings in a narrative and include tables, if appropriate.    
  • a few sentences about what the results from this study means and its implications.

Individuals may work together, but each individual must submit their own findings and implications (your wording should be different than your group members.) If you work in a group or with others, include the names of your group members on your paper.  

Problem #1

Research examining the effects of preschool childcare has found that children who spent time in day care, especially high-quality day care, perform better on math and language tests than children who stay home with their mothers. In a typical study, a research obtains a sample of n=10 children who attended day care before starting school. The children are given a standardized math test for which the population mean is 50. The scores for the sample are as follows: 53, 57, 61, 49, 52, 56, 58, 62, 51, 56. Is this sample sufficient to conclude that the children with a history of preschool day care are significantly different from the general population? Use a two-tailed test with an alpha=.01.

BOR CPAs, Inc. is a closely held corporation owned by three stockholders who used the initials...

BOR CPAs, Inc. is a closely held corporation owned by three stockholders who used the initials of their last names to form the corporation’s name: Cyrus Bailey, John Ogden, and Samuel Rogers. The firm’s Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) perform audits of both public companies and privately owned companies. BOR’s CPAs also provide tax services to both individuals and businesses.

The corporation is divided into two profit centers: the Audit Division and the Tax Division. Each division is composed of two cost centers. The Audit Division is composed of two cost-center departments: Public Company Audits and Private Company Audits. The Tax Division is composed of two cost-center departments also: Individual Tax and Business Tax.

BOR, a decentralized organization, is interested in evaluating the performance of the two divisions. The stockholders are responsible for deciding on investment in the two divisions. Cyrus Bailey is in charge of the performance evaluation, and turns to you for assistance. Mr. Bailey is only interested in evaluating operations at the profit center (division) level, and not at the cost center (department) level.

Mr. Bailey is considering temporarily using some of the staff from the Tax Division to assist the Audit Division during the upcoming busy audit season, and would like to evaluate the effect of this on net income. The Tax Division is estimated to have 800 hours of excess capacity.

The unit for determining sales revenue in both divisions is the "engagement", which means the total agreed-upon work for a given client in either audit or tax for a given year. The company charges on average a fee of $75,000 per audit engagement, and $15,750 per tax engagement.

The company has its own Payroll Office, which provides payroll services to both divisions and will allocate its total expenses to the two divisions as service department charges.

The following chart shows some basic data for the company:

Hourly market rate for staff (the price the company would have to pay from an outside contractor for staff services) $100.00
Average hourly cost rate for staff (the average price the company pays to its staff) $60.00
Number of paychecks issued by Audit Division 110
Number of paychecks issued by Tax Division 340
Total expense for Payroll Office $29,250
Amount of assets invested in Audit Division by BOR CPAs, Inc. $10,000,000
Amount of assets invested in Tax Division by BOR CPAs, Inc. $4,000,000

Payroll

Mr. Bailey would like you to start by analyzing the Payroll Office expenses, and allocating the total expenses to each division. He has decided to use the number of payroll checks as the activity base for the allocation.

Fill in the following blanks, allocating the total expense for the Payroll Office to each of the two divisions.
