Please complete this case study in detail.
Chris Green, CPA, is auditing Rayne Co.'s 2016 financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Rayne is applying GAAP for income taxes. Rayne's controller, Dunn, has prepared a schedule of all differences between financial statement and income tax return income. Dunn believes that as a result of pending legislation, the enacted tax rate on December 31, 2016, will be increased for 2017. Dunn is uncertain which differences to include and which rates to apply in computing deferred taxes. Dunn has requested an overview of GAAP from Green.
Required: Prepare a brief memo to Dunn from Green that identifies the objectives of accounting for income taxes, defines temporary differences, explains how to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities, and explains how to measure deferred income tax expense or benefit.

(a) Which country was the richest in 2016? Which was the poorest?
Note
that some countries don't have data for 2016, so ignore
those.
(b) Compute average annual growth for those two countries between
1960 and
2016.
(c) Find three indicators you would use to describe standards of
living in
those two countries for the year 2010. Discuss how standards of
living
vary between the two countries. Which would you rather live in?

Problem 3:
Google Apple’s Income Statements for 2016 and 2015. Note that Apple’s financial year ends on the last working day in September. Also google their Balance Sheets for 2016, 2015, and 2014. We suggest you use the www.nasdaq.com website, which provides all the statements you need—when you click on “Income Statement”, the balance sheet can also be accessed. Now calculate the company’s average collection period for 2016 and 2015, rounding up to the nearest day. (Note the balances in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts were immaterial and may be ignored.) Apple offers its customers (primarily retailers) terms of net/30. Analyse Apple’s average collection period. Apple is not subject to GST.
If the balances in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had been material, how would that have affected your analysis in 1) above?

4. The university is interested in determining if the proportion of graduates obtaining a first-class degree has changed from 2016 to 2017. Out of 2800 graduates in 2016, 560 obtained a first class degree. In 2017, 805 graduates out of 3500 obtained a first class degree.
(a) Write down the method of moments estimates for the
proportion of first-class degrees
in 2016 and 2017, pˆ2016 and pˆ2017.
(b) Write down appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this test.
(c) What assumptions are required to conduct your hypothesis test from (b), does this data satisfy them?
(d) Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of first-class degrees awarded.
(e) Using your answer to part (d), or otherwise, test your hypothesis from (b) at the 10% level. You should clearly state the conclusion of your test.
