Identify a popular/common computer related product/solution that utilizes an interface that are not optimal for human interaction. It must clearly identify the original problem that lead to the development of the solution. Describe how the users resolve the problem before the solution was developed and after the development of the solution. Explain why you think the solution is not optimal and how to improve the solution to provide a better interface for human interaction.

A factory worker’s union is appealing to the factory management for more vacation time for its employees. The union claims that the workers are more productive when they come back from vacation than before (in other words, that production rate and vacation status are related). The following table contains the production rates, measured in units per hour, for a sample of employees. The union feels that it needs to be 90% confident (level of significance = 0.10) before going into talks with the employers. Does the union have strong enough evidence to support its claim?

Conclusion:

A child hits an ice cube with a mass of 10 grams on a table with a force of 10 N. The impact lasts 0.02 seconds. The ice cube flies off the table, which is 1 meter high and lands some distance away. Assume there is no friction between the ice cube and the table.

a. What is the velocity of the ice cube when it leaves the table?

b. What is the final velocity of the ice cube just before it hits the floor?

c. What is the momentum of the ice cube just before it hits the floor?

d. What distance will the ice cube land from the foot of the table?

e. Suppose the ice cube had broken into two pieces just after the child hit the ice and moved away from each other while falling to the floor. How would the total momentum of the two pieces just before they hit the floor compare to the momentum you found in part (c)?

Mongo Inc. needs someone to supply it with 200,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next 5 years, and you've decided to bid on the contract. It will cost you $1,200,000 after-tax to install the equipment necessary to start production; you'll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project's life. You estimate that in 5 years, this equipment can be salvaged for $75,000 before-tax. Your fixed production costs will be $350,000 before-tax per year, and your variable production costs should be $12.00 before-tax per carton. You also need an initial increase in account receivables of $100,000 and a decrease in account payable of $150,000, all of which will be recovered when the project ends. Your tax rate is 20 percent and you require a 10 percent return on your investment. What bid price per carton should you submit?

7. Ball X of mass 1.0 kg and ball Y of mass 0.5kg travel toward each other on a horizontal surface. Both balls travel with a constant speed of 5 m/s until they collide. During the collision, ball Y exerts an average force with a magnitude of 40N for 1/6s on ball X . Which of the following best predicts ball momentum after the collision?

A Ball Y will travel at a speed less than 5 m/s in the same direction of travel as before the collision.

B Ball Y will travel at a speed less than 5 m/s in the opposite direction of travel as before the collision.

C Ball will travel at a speed greater than 5 m/s in the same direction of travel as before the collision.

D Ball Y motion cannot be predicted because the impulse on it is not known.

The answer is C but I do not understand why. Please refrain from using any Calculus

Today is 15 April 2020.

You are an audit manager of QUTPG Partners and are planning the audit of RST Co for the year ending 30 June 2020. The company is a manufacturer of digital devices and your have already had a planning meeting, with the finance director. Forecast revenue is $137.2m and profit before tax is $8.4m. The following notes from the planning meeting have been given to you.

Planning Meeting Notes

• RST Co holds inventory in four warehouses in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra respectively. RST Co plans to conduct a full inventory stocktake at the warehouses on 1, 2, 3 and 4 July. Any necessary adjustments will be made to reflect post year-end movements of inventory. RST Co has an internal audit function and an internal audit team will attend the inventory counts. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the purchase price of raw materials, labour and other production costs, and other general overheads including head office administrative costs.
• During the year, RST Co paid $2.2m to purchase a patent which allows the company the exclusive right for five years to customise their portable audio player to gain a competitive advantage in the market. The $2.2m has been expensed in the current year statement of profit or loss. To finance this purchase, RST Co raised $2.4m through new share issuance.
• It was discovered that, in January 2020, a significant fraud had been colluded by four employees in the sales ledger department by stealing funds from wholesale customer receipts. They allocated later customer receipts against the older receivables to cover the stolen funds. RST Co had reported to the police and subsequently dismissed the four employees.
• As a result of the vacancies in the sales ledger department, RST Co has outsourced its sales ledger processing to U Services, an external service organisation since 1March 2020. U Services handles all elements of the sales ledger cycle, including sales invoicing, chasing receivables balances, and sending monthly reports of sales and receivable amounts to RST Co.
• In December 2019, the financial accountant of RST Co was dismissed. He had been employed by the company for ten years, and he has threatened to sue the company for unfair dismissal. Until his replacement commences work in March, the financial accountant’s responsibilities have been allocated to other staff in the finance department. However, in January and February 2020, no reconciliations of supplier statement have been performed, and no reconciliations of purchase ledger control account have been performed.
• In January 2019, a receivable balance of $1.8m was written off by RST Co when a customer had declared bankruptcy. In February 2020, the liquidators of the customer company publicly announced that it was likely that most of its creditors would receive a pay-out of 30% of the balance owed. As a result, RST Co has included a current asset of $540,000 in the balance sheet and other income in the statement of profit or loss.

• Required:

  (a) Describe QUTPG Partners’ responsibilities in relation to the prevention and detection of fraud and error.

  (b) Describe EIGHT audit risks, and explain the auditor’s response to each risk in planning the audit of RST Co.
