With the growing importance of addressing environmental matters and societal challenges in the past decade, there has been increasing emphasis globally on the reporting of non-financial information.

Identify and explain at least 4 non-store retailing businesses. What advantages may non-store retailers have over store retailers?

Suppose the Federal Reserve (Fed) decides to sell $100 million in Treasury bills on the open market. Further suppose that the Fed’s order is matched with a buy order from a member of the non-bank public. Assume the non-bank public deposits half of the proceeds from the sale in its account at Bank of America and takes the other half as cash.

1. Using T-accounts, show what happens to the balance sheets of the non-bank public, Bank of America, and the Fed. Then, explicitly state rather the monetary base increased or decreased and by how much.
2. Next, show graphically the impact of this change in the monetary base on money supply and the federal funds rate.

Find a company that has referenced non-GAAP earnings in its annual report or quarterly report, the report should be published in 2016 or 2017.

1. please identify your company, Name the company and briefly explain the company’s justification for using them.

2.What measures (for example, EBIT) and what adjustments were made to GAAP earnings to get to non-GAAP earnings.

3.Are the adjustments income increasing?

4.Do you think the non-GAAP adjusted earnings were more transparent and useful to investors? Why or why not – use specifics

In a study, a large group of male runners walk on a treadmill for 6 minutes. Their heart rates vary according to the Normal distribution N(104, 12.5). However, the heart rates for non-runners is N(130, 17). Answer the following questions providing all the details.

1. What percent of the runners have heart rates above 140?

2. What percent of the non-runners have heart rates above 140? what do you conclude?

3. Find the median, first and third quartiles of the distribution of runner’s heart rates.

4. What range of non-runner’s heart rates covers the middle 68% of their Normal distribution?

Cultured liver hepatocytes are convenient for studying both exocytosis and receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis. As part of an advanced laboratory in cell biology, students are required to perform mutation studies on cultured liver hepatocytes to generate data that supports the proposed mechanism of receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Liver hepatocytes are cultured, mutagenized, and screened for defective receptor-mediated endocytosis. In order to distinguish unique mutants from one another, the students must design a series of experiments to distinguish between mutants that have the following mutations:

a). Cellular adaptor proteins are mutated to be non-functional

b). Clathrin is mutated to be non-functional

c). Dynamin is mutated to be non-functional

Reliable Non-Authoritative Sources

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 established the FASB Standards Accounting Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities and rules and interpretive releases of the SEC as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.

For discussion: What are some non-authoritative sources of information and how could management of a company utilize information obtained from non-authoritative sources in preparing GAAP financial statements?
