Windsor Corporation recorded a right-of-use asset for $240,300 as a result of a finance lease on December 31, 2016. Windsor’s incremental borrowing rate is 13%, and the implicit rate of the lessor was not known at the commencement of the lease. Windsor made the first lease payment of $41,440 on on December 31, 2016. The lease requires 9 annual payments. The equipment has a useful life of 9 years with no residual value.

Prepare Wndor's December 31,2017, entries.

What is the role of rating agencies of fixed income securities? What is the highest possible rating? What is the difference between investment grade and speculative grade debt? Give three (3) specific examples of firms and/or municipalities with investment grade or speculative grade debt and include the rating as of Q3 2016 or Q4 2016 or Q1 2017. In your opinion, should the ratings agencies' be held accountable for their "opinions" of firms' fixed income securities?

Irwin, Inc., constructed a machine at a total cost of $41 million. Construction was completed at the end of 2012 and the machine was placed in service at the beginning of 2013. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the straight-line method. The residual value is expected to be $3 million. At the beginning of 2016, Irwin decided to change to the sum-of-the-years’-digits method. Ignoring income taxes, prepare the journal entry relating to the machine for 2016.

Meca Concrete purchased a mixer on January 1, 2016, at a cost of $39,600. Straight-line depreciation for 2016 and 2017 was based on an estimated eight-year life and $2,400 estimated residual value. In 2018, Meca revised its estimate and now believes the mixer will have a total service life of only six years, and that the residual value will be only $1,400. Compute annual depreciation for 2018 and 2019.

Annual depreciation for 2018 and 2019-

1. Calculate the test statistic to compare the variance in poverty rates for rural counties to that of urban cities in 2016.

2. Calculate the p-value of the test statistic to compare the variance in poverty rates for rural counties to that of urban counties in 2016.

These are two questions I have for my homework, I have an excel sheet to work with and I just need to know the operations to derive these calculations. Also, is the F-Statistic the test statistic?

All code is done using Java. The steps to the question are as follows (There is more information in the code comments posted below as well):

1. Begin by deciding how many fields are required and what their types should be. Add these fields to your class (making sure that they each have a private access modifier) giving them a sensible name when you do so.
2. Once you have added the fields to your class, implement the methods getLevel and getWidth. The JUnit tester requires these methods to test the constructors and other methods.
3. Implement the constructor HounsfieldWindow(int level, int width) first. Make sure that it has the correct access modifier and signature.
4. Implement the no-argument constructor HounsfieldWindow() next. Use constructor chaining to implement this constructor.
5. Implement the remaining methods making sure that they each have the correct access modifier, signature, and return type.

Remember to run the JUnit tester each time you complete a constructor or method, and to carefully study the result of the tests to help you through the development process.

Code and comments given:

/**

* A class that represents a windowed view of Hounsfield units. A Hounsfield

* window is defined by two values: (1) the window level, and (2) the window

* width. The window level is the Hounsfield unit value that the window is

* centered on. The window width is the range of Hounsfield unit values that the

* window is focused on.

*

* <p>

* A window has a lower and upper bound. The lower bound is defined as the

* window level minus half the window width:

*

* <p>

* lo = level - (width / 2)

*

* <p>

* The upper bound is defined as the window level plus half the window width:

*

* <p>

* hi = level + (width / 2)

*

* <p>

* Hounsfield units are mapped by the window to a real number in the range of

* {@code 0} to {@code 1}. A Hounsfield unit with a value less than lo is mapped

* to the value {@code 0}. A Hounsfield unit with a value greater than hi is

* mapped to the value {@code 1}. A Hounsfield unit with a value v between lo

* and hi is mapped to the value:

*

* <p>

* (v - lo) / width

Researchers were interested in determining a new drug for reducing high blood pressure. They obtained a sample of volunteers for the study and randomly divided them into two groups, C and T. A single medical practitioner, Dr. Daring, agreed to help the researchers in this study following a protocol of three steps: (i) The blood pressure of each subject was measured by Dr. Daring; (ii) the new drug was administered to subjects in group T and a placebo to subjects in group C. (iii) after a determined amount of time, Dr. Daring measured the blood pressure of all the subjects again and provided all this information to the researchers. Only the researchers and Dr. Daring knew if a subject received the new drug or a placebo, but neither the subjects nor the rest of doctors and nurses in the hospital where the study was conducted knew this information. After some data analysis, the researchers concluded that in fact the new drug lowered high blood pressure in patients. Select all the statements that are true (if a statement is partially not correct, you should not select that option):

Group of answer choices

This is an observational study

This is a double-blind experiment

This is a randomized controlled experiment

This observational study is controlling for high vs low blood pressure subjects

There was at least one obvious way to make this a better experiment

There are no reasons to doubt the conclusions obtained

You have 3 dice. Dice A is a fair dice while Dice B and Dice C are not fair. The odd outcomes of Dice B are twice as likely as the even outcomes while the even outcomes of Dice C are twice as likely as the odd outcomes. Each dice is thrown 5,000 times independently and you will use Excel to simulate this experiment.

1. Plot the histograms of the outcome from each dice and also the sum of the outcomes from the 3 dice. Comment on the shape of the histograms. Briefly comment on the histograms for the 3 dice individually - whether they are consistent with the theoretical results. For the sum of the outcomes from 3 dice (sum = 3,4,5,...,18), describe the distribution of the sum.
2. Obtain the (empirical) probability distribution of the outcomes of the three dice in the form of a table. You can use Excel to construct this table.
3. A member in your group repeats this experiment using three fair dice. He concludes that the result in 1.2 is identical to the experiment using Dice A, B and C. Do you agree with him? Give reasons as why. You can either obtain the theoretical values of the probabilities or empirical probabilities (recommended) of the outcomes from throwing the 3 fair dice 5000 times. Then compare the probability distributions to see whether they look like each other.
