MSG is a manufacture company which produce automobile. At the beginning of 2010, MSG leases ten automobile to FD under a six-year non-cancellable lease agreement. Information about the lease and the automobile is:
1. Equal annual payments that are due on January 1 each year provide MSG 7% return on net investment (present value factor for 6 periods at 7% is 5.1002).
2. Titles to the automobile pass to FD at the end of the lease.
3. The fair value of each automobile is $35,000. The cost of each car to MSG is $32,000. Each car has an expected useful life of 8 years. No residual value guarantee.
4. Collectability of the lease payments is probable.

a)What type of lease is this for the lessor? Explain.
b)Calculate the annual lease payment for company.
c)Prepare a lease amortization table with dates for MSG for the first three years.
d)Find out the journal entries for the lessor in 2010 to record the lease agreement, the receipt of the lease rentals, and the recognition of revenue.

In 2010 you bought 12 initial public offerings (IPOs) of common equity of which there were 22 in total. You held each of these for approximately one month and then sold them. The 22 IPOs were all for oil- and gas-exploration companies. You submitted a purchase order for approximately $1000 of equity for each one. With 10 of these, no shares were allocated to you. With five of the 12 offerings that were purchased, fewer than the requested number of shares were allocated.

The year 2010 was very good for oil- and gas-exploration companies. For the 22 IPOs the shares were selling on average for 80 percent above the offering price within a month. Yet, you looked at your performance record and found the $8,400 invested in 12 companies had grown to only $10,100, a return of only about 20 percent. (Commissions were negligible). Did you have bad luck or should you have expected to do worse than the average IPO investor? Explain.

Question #1

A) The government of Canada has collected data on the prevalence of 5 chronic diseases over time. The data of the 5 diseases was collected in percent prevalence of Canadians over age 20, over the years 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014. A psychologist is interested in knowing if prevalence rates of the diseases change over time. To examine this, they use a one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Sphericity is assumed.

The table below shows the life expectancy for an individual born in the United States in certain years.

Year of Birth Life Expectancy
1930 59.7
1940 62.9
1950 70.2
1965 69.7
1973 71.4
1982 74.5
1987 75
1992 75.7
2010 78.7

1. Find the estimated life expectancy for an individual born in 1973

2. Use the two points in part (e) to plot the least squares line on your graph from part (b).

3. Are there any outliers in the data?Yes, 1930 and 2010 are outliers.Yes, 1930 and 1950 are outliers.     Yes, 1950 is an outlier.No, there are no outliers

4. Using the least squares line, find the estimated life expectancy for an individual born in 1870. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
Does the least squares line give an accurate estimate for that year? Explain why or why not. Yes, because the estimate is over 50 years.No, because 1870 is outside the domain of the least squares line.

Berkshire Hathaway's 13-F filing for the third quarter of 2010 reported that Warren Buffett had reduced his stake in Nike, Inc. by $224 million, bringing his holding to 7.62 percent of the 480 million outstanding shares. Nike reported a core return on net operating assets (core RNOA) of 32.7 percent in its annual report for the year ended May, 2010. A summary of it balance sheet at fiscal year end follows:

Net operating assets $5,318 million

Net financial assets 4,436

Common equity $9,754 million

In mid-July, at the time that the annual report was published, Nike's shares traded at $68 each. By the end of September, the price had risen to $81.

Calculate the expected return form buying at the market price in mid-July with a forecast that Nike can grow residual operating income at 4 % per year. Now make the same calculation for the Setember price. Do you see why Buffett may have sold?

The effect of internal curing in the compressive strength depends on the specific
mixture proportions, curing conditions and testing age. (Bentz et al., 2011 pp. 31)

Use of the LWA will decrease the compressive strength of the concrete in the beginning
of its age. That is expected because the specific gravity of the LWA is lower, therefore
leading to lower strength compared to concrete with normal weight aggregate. Previous
studies have shown though, that the long-term compressive strength will increase when
internal curing is used, so it is likely that concrete with LWA has a higher long-term
compressive strength than concrete with normal weight aggregate. (Kerby, 2010 pp. 10)

Although the internal curing might improve the strength of the paste by providing
additional water to the hydration process, the weakening effect by the weaker and softer
aggregate can affect more to the overall behaviour, reducing the strength. (Schlitter et
al., 2010 pp. 139)

11) Discussion: Female Employment Engagement
As we discussed in the lecture,
The decades between 1950 and 2010 were associated with a steady decline in the percentage of working age males in work and a steady increase in the percentage of working age females in work. Increased female employment was associated with both low-paid insecure work (retail, hospitality) and high-paid secure work (education, health care). Since 2010, we have seen major steps to improve female employment – unpaid paternity leave of 12 months; guaranteed right to return to work, paid paternity leave.
Given the recent initiatives to improve female employment – and the deliberate strategy of large private and public entities in seeking to redress ‘gender imbalances’ – we would expect female employment to increase in percentage terms. This has not happened.
Considering this statement, why do you think this has not happened? What strategies do you think would improve female – and male – labour force participation? write an research essay
