Please provide 4 examples of fact pattern (accounting problem) to which you can apply the accounting research process. If you can, use a fact pattern based on a real situation that you’ve encountered professionally. Alternatively, the following sources may help you generate ideas: (1) The Codification: browse for guidance, then “back into” a fact pattern; (2) recent business news articles (e.g., from the Wall Street Journal); (3) discussions with small-business owners; or (4) corporate annual reports.

Required:

1. Describe the fact pattern.

2. Identify at least 1 researchable question for this fact pattern.

3. Brainstorm the likely answer to the question.

4. Locate the applicable Codification reference. Describe the requirements, plus any alternatives available.

5. Briefly describe your conclusion.

A farmer records the number of bees spotted on his farm over a two week period in the middle of the summer. Below is a stem and leaf plot of his data:

key: 1 6=16

1) Find the mean, median, mode, and sample standard deviation for this data

2) List the values for your Five Number Summary for the data in order.

3) Identify any outliers using the IQR Method

4) ) If the true distribution for number of bees on the farm on a given day at this time of year is normal with a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 15, find the z-score for a day when 32 bees are observed. Is this an unusual number of bees to see during the day at this time of year?

Use any C program without using PTHREADS calculate time taken to execute program.

1. Write same program of question 1 using PTHREADS. Calculate time taken to execute program.
2. Identify data races in above program and explain why this situation occurred with an example
3. Rewrite the code to avoid data races should use any of the THREE techniques.

Run program using 1, 2, 4, and 8 threads Comparison study

4. Rewrite the program using OPENMP. Run on 4 processors. Calculate time taken.
5. At the end calculate speed up.  

An economy's production possibility boundary is given by the mathematical expression 20 = 4 A + B, where A is the quantity of good "a" and B is the quantity of good "b". [Hint: To help you answer this question, use the formula Y = mX + b and have good "a" quantities correspond to X-axis values and good "b" quantities correspond to Y-axis values.]

Part 1: If all the resources in the economy are allocated to producing good "a", what is the maximum level of production for this good ____________

Part 2: What is the maximum level of production for good "b" ____________

Part 3: What is the opportunity cost per unit of increasing the production of good “b” ____________

Part 4: Can the combination of 10 units of good A and 4 units of good B be produced in this economy (yes=1, no=2) ____________

Part 5: Can the combination of 22 units of good A and 18 units of good B be produced in this economy (yes=1, no=2) ____________

Price per night Quantity demanded $150 0 $130 1 $110 2 $90 3 $70 4 $50 5 $30 6 a) Calculate the hotel’s total revenue and its marginal revenue. Fill in the table below. Price Quantity Total Revenue Marginal Revenue $150 0 - $130 1 $110 2 $90 3 $70 4 $50 5 $30 6 b) The marginal costs are listed in the table below. What price will the hotel charge to maximize its profit? Explain. Quantity Marginal Cost 0 - 1 $40 2 $43 3 $50 4 $61 5 $76 6 $95 c) How many rooms will be rented, when the hotel maximizes its profit? Explain.

Conduct the hypothesis test and provide the test statistic and the critical value, and state the conclusion.

A person drilled a hole in a die and filled it with a lead weight, then proceeded to roll it 200 times. Here are the observed frequencies for the outcomes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively: 28, 27, 40, 38, 26, 41. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the outcomes are not equally likely. Does it appear that the loaded die behaves differently than a fair die?

The test statistic is __________.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

The critical value is __________ .
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

State the conclusion.

(1) __________ Ho . There (2) __________ sufficient evidence to support the claim that the outcomes are not equally likely. The outcomes (3) __________ to be equally likely, so the loaded die (4) __________ to behave differently from a fair die.

(1) Do not reject
   Reject
(2) is
   is not
(3) appear
   do not appear
(4) does not appear

Fiscal policy is usually:

1) more political than monetary policy.
2) less political than monetary policy.
3) neutral like monetary policy.
4) having the same impact on all citizens.

Consider two competing motorcycle manufacturers, Harley-Davidson and Honda. If Harley-Davidson raises the price of its motorcycles, we can expect:

1)a shift to the right in the supply curve of Hondas and lower prices for Hondas.
2)a shift to the left in the supply curve of Hondas and higher prices for Hondas.
3)a shift to the right in the demand curve for Hondas and higher prices for Hondas.
4)a shift to the left in the demand curve for Hondas and lower prices for Hondas.

A transfer payment is a payment for:

1)a military transfer to a war zone.
2)which no services were rendered by the government.
3)transfer of a debt to a different person.
4)being transferred to a different city by your employer.

Finance  question

Marking to Market. Suppose that in the 5 days following a industry sale of August wheat futures at a futures price of $5.83, the futures price is:

At the end of day 5, the industry decides to quit wheat farming and buys back his futures contract. What payments are made between the industry and the exchange on:

1. Day 1?
2. Day 2?
3. Day 3?
4. Day 4?
5. Day 5?

What is the total payment over the 5 days? Would the total payment be any different if the contract was not marked to market the contract size is 3,00 bushels, so the industry who sells a wheat futures contract realizes the following cash flows on each contract:
