Mary has on her bookshelf 5 novels, 4 biographies, and 8 textbooks.

Mary wants to take a fiction and a non-fiction book with her on a short trip.

(a) How many different ways can she do this?

(b) Mary thinks a little and then decides that she wants instead to take a novel and a biography. How many different ways can she do this?

(c) On a longer trip Mary decides to take three novels and four non-fiction books with at least one of the non-fiction books a biography. How many ways are there to make such a selection?

The debate of whether an auditor who performs non-attest services (e.g. Consulting) for an audit client will have their independence impaired has been going on for some time in the accounting profession. While Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 expressly restrict auditors from performing consulting and other non-attest services for their audit clients, the AICPA does not have such stringent restrictions.

Required: Present an argument why you believe that performing non attest services for an audit client would or would not impair an auditor’s independence for audits performed under either the PCOB auditing standards OR the AICPA auditing standards.

let a be a non zero constant and consider: y''+(1/t)y'=a

a. show that 1 and ln(t) are linear independent solutions of the corresponding homogenous equation

b. using variation of parameters find the particular solution to the non homogenous equation

c. express the solution to the non homogenous equation in terms of a. and b.

d.since y itself does not appear in the equation, the substitution w=y' can be used to reduce the equation to a linear 1st order equation. use this substitution to solve for w directly using a 1st order technique and verify that the two techniques produce the same answer

Non-Financial Performance: Many city and county governments are discovering that you can control only what you measure. As a result, many municipal governments are introducing non-financial performance measures to help improve municipal services. Use the Google search engine to perform a search for “municipal government performance measurement.” Google will provide a list of Internet sites that outline various city efforts in using non-financial performance measures. Report on the types of measures used by one of the cities from the search.

I need a well organized easy to read answer, please.

Although mutations in the coding region of a genes can lead to changes in protein sequence (non-synonomous, nonsense, frameshift) there are plenty of mutations in non-coding regions within the genome that can alter how gene are expressed. In the scenarios below, please indicate what non-coding regions might contain a SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) mutation, and how this SNP mutation might lead to the given scenario: a. no transcription occurs for a particular gene b. Transcription occurs, but the mRNA is shorter than normal (by 100 bp) c. Transcription occurs, but the mRNA is longer than normal (100 bp longer)

Franchised businesses are more successful. Then why do certain people prefer to start their own businesses? Take the example of a Pizza Place for instance. (Hint- I know a pizza place in my neighborhood that withstood the onslaught from growing franchises; you can also use non-pizza business that you know which is not franchised). Franchised businesses, in general, are more successful than non-franchised ones. Why so?: Discuss a franchise that you may be interested in buying with a proper defense.

Compare a franchised business versus non-franchised business using an example.

At 31 July 20X6, Helios International had non-current assets which had cost $310,000. At the same date, the accumulated depreciation on the assets was $120,000. The company had not disposed of any non-current assets during the year to 31 July 20X7, but acquired an asset at a cost of $79,200 on 1 January 20X7. Helios International depreciates non-current assets at a rate of 25% per annum. What is the company’s depreciation charge for the year to 31 July 20X7 using:

a. The straight line method

b. The reducing balance method Assume that depreciation is charged from the first year of acquisition.

When preparing a statement of cash flow using the indirect method, I know we start with the net income amount from the income statement and make adjustments to non cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization. My question is, why is cost of goods sold not included in these non cash expenses? It is a non-cash expense, is it not? A customer could purchase an item on credit, and we would debit cost of goods sold without any cash exchanging hands. So why do we leave this number alone when making adjustments to net income using the indirect method?

One of the problems with non-verbal language is that it is difficult to interpret. You are giving a presentation to your associates at work (or classmates in class) and you observe the following non-verbal behavior in your audience members.

One associate/student is writing the entire time you are talking.

One associate/student is smiling although you are talking about a serious issue.

One associate/student has his/her eyes closed.

Discuss three possible interpretations of each non-verbal behavior and analyze how each interpretation would influence the speaker’s evaluation of audience feedback/change.

1. This question asks you to work with a simple short-run macroeconomic model. In this model, there are only two types of decision-makers: firms and households (no government and no international considerations). A description of the behavior of the two groups is that firms choose how much to produce (Y) and how much newly produced capital goods they would like to purchase and households choose how much of their income they would like to spend and how much they would like to save.

(1) Firms produce what they expect to sell.

(2) Firms want to purchase 200 (million $) of newly produced capital goods; i.e., I = 200.

(3) Households spend as follows: if Y (income) is zero they spend 100 (million$) and if income rises by $1 they spend $0.80; i.e., C = 100 +0.8*Y.

1. 1.1) If firms expect to sell 2000 and thus produce 2000, how much will they actually sell?
2. 1.2) Do firms end up with inventories they did not intend to have? If so, how much?
3. 1.3) What is the level of actual investment (as opposed to the desired investment)?
4. 1.4) How much do households save when Y = 2000?
5. 1.5) Find the equilibrium level of GDP (Y).
6. 1.6) Produce a graph with aggregate expenditures on the vertical axis and GDP on the horizontal axis. Identify the unplanned inventories when firms expect to sell 2000 and the equilibrium level of GDP (that is, the equilibrium value for Y).
7. 1.7) How much do households save when the economy is in equilibrium?

Now suppose that households change behaviour: they want to save 100 more (i.e., the savings

function shifts up by 100).

1. 1.8) Find the new equilibrium levels of income (Y) and savings (S).
2. 1.9) If firms did not anticipate the change in behavior they would have produced too much. How much too much? How much would household save? What is the actual level of investment spending?
3. 1.10) In the new equilibrium I = S = 200 which is the same as in the original equilibrium. Why hasn’t S increased?
4. 1.11) The result in Question 3.10 is known as “the paradox of thrift” and it is a classic example of the fallacy of composition. Define the “fallacy of composition” and explain why the paradox of thrift is an illustration of the fallacy of composition.
