1, An engineer wanted to determine how the weight of a car affects gas mileage. The accompanying data represent the weights of various domestic cars and their gas mileage in the city for a certain model year. Suppose that we add Car 12 to the original data. Car 12 weighs 3,305 pounds and gets 19 miles per gallon. Complete parts(a) through (f) below.
| Car | Weight (lbs) | Miles per Gallon |
| 1 | 3765 | 19 |
| 2 | 3984 | 18 |
| 3 | 3590 | 21 |

(b) Compute the linear correlation coefficient with Car 12 included.
The linear correlation coefficient with Car 12 included is r =
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(c) Compare the linear correlation coefficient of the part? (b) with the linear correlation coefficient for the original data. Why are the results here? reasonable?
i) The correlation coefficient changed significantly when Car 12 was added. This is reasonable since Car 12 does not follow the pattern of the original data.
ii) The correlation coefficients both indicate a strong negative correlation. This is reasonable since Car 12 does not follow the pattern of the original data.
iii) The correlation coefficients both indicate a strong negative correlation. This is reasonable since Car 12 roughly follows the pattern of the original data.
d) Now suppose that we add Car 13? (a hybrid? car) to the original data? (remove Car? 12). Car 13 weighs 2,890 pounds and gets 60 miles per gallon. Draw the scatter diagram with Car 13 included.
e) Compute the linear correlation coefficient with Car 13 included.

(a) Draw a scatter diagram treating MRI count as the explanatory variable and IQ as the response variable. Choose the correct diagram below.
(b) Compute the linear correlation coefficient between MRI count and IQ. Are MRI count and IQ linearly related? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A.Yes, MRI count and IQ are linearly related since the linear correlation coefficient is
B.No, MRI count and IQ are not linearly related since the linear correlation coefficient is
(c) Draw a scatter diagram, but use a different plotting symbol for each gender. Choose the correct diagram below.
(d) Compute the linear correlation coefficient between MRI count and IQ for females. Compute the linear correlation coefficient between MRI count and IQ for males.
The linear correlation coefficient for females is
The linear correlation coefficient for males is

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the
Nobel Prize in chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small
and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei (4He) from
gold-197 (197Au). See the figure below. The energy of
the incoming helium nucleus was 8.80 10-13 J,
and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were
6.68 10-27 and
3.29 10-25 kg, respectively (note that their
mass ratio is 4 to 197). If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle
of 120° during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, calculate
the helium nucleus's final speed.
Put the origin of the coordinate system at the site of the
stationary gold nucleus and the +x direction in the
direction in which the incoming helium nucleus travels. Write a
statement of conservation of energy, momentum in the x
direction, and momentum in the y direction to obtain three
equations and three unknowns. See if you can solve the three
equations simultaneously for the three unknowns. m/s
Calculate the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the gold
nucleus. (Assume the positive x direction is the direction
in which the helium nucleus is initially traveling, and that it
scatters 120° clockwise from the +x-axis.)
| magnitude | ? m/s |
| direction | ? ° (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) |

18) The Statement of cash flows provides information that may be useful in predicting future cash flows, evaluating financial flexibility, assessing liquidity, and identifying a company's financial needs. It is not, however, the best financial statement for learning about a firm's financial performance during a period. Information about a company's financial performance is provided by the income statement. Two basic principles-the revenue recognition principle and the matching concept-work to distinguish the income statement from the statement of cash flows. (a) Define the revenue recognition principle and the matching concept. (b) Briefly explain how these two principles work to make the income statement a better report regarding a firm's periodic financial performance than the statement of cash flows.
In Question 18, our authors focus on the Revenue Recognition and Matching Principles to distinguish between the Income Statement and the Cash Flow Statement. Is there another way to think of the Cash Flow Statement? What type of statement might it be?

The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital SLR cameras (Camera A Price: 200, Camera A Price: 300). The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model:
NA = 195 - 0.5PA + 0.35PB
NB = 300 + 0.06PA - 0.5PB
Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet. Develop two-way data table to estimate the optimal prices for each product in order to maximize the total revenue. Vary each price from $250 to $500 in increments of $10.
Max profit occurs at Camera A price of $ .
Max profit occurs at Camera B price of $

Part C
Question 1
Mr. Kenny is an accountant at AF Textile, and he plays squash with Mr. Zuni, the CEO of AF Textile. The CEO wanted to decrease net income with the objective to pay lesser tax. Mr. Kenny was eager to get into Mr. Zuni’s elite social circle; he boasted to Mr. Zuni that he knew some accounting tricks that could decrease company income by simply disclosing company’s capital expenditure as their revenue expenditure. At the end of the year, Mr. Kenny changed the debits from “capital expenditures” to “revenue expenditure” on several transactions. Later, Mr. Zuni achieved his objective of paying lesser tax, and the manipulations were never discovered.
Required:
Differentiate between Capital Expenditure and Revenue Expenditure. (4 marks)
How did the change in journal entries affect the net income and net assets of the company at year-end? (3 marks)
