You recently read an article in your school newspaper about Professor Rodney Taylor, one of your favorite professors in the religious studies department. According the article, he and the university have been negotiating an early retirement package and are reached a stumbling block. Under the agreement, Professor Taylor is to receive a lump-sum payment equal to one year's salary in exchange for his retirement and the release of any and all rights associated with his tenure status. While recognizing that the payment would be subject to income tax, Taylor contends that the amount is not earned income and thus should not be subject to the FICA tax. The university negotiators say that they are not aware of any authority that supports Taylor's view. In fact, they have learned that other universities in the state system have been withholding amounts for FICA for years in situations involving early retirement buyout packages for high-level administrators. The university's position is that lacking the authority to not withhold for FICA and given the precedent set in similar early retirement packages at other universities, they are obligated to withhold FICA from the payment. You want to come to the aid of Professor Taylor. Obviously, if the payments are considered wages subject to the FICA tax, the value of the offer to Professor Taylor will be significantly reduced. Can you find any authority for his position? Evaluate the position of the university and of the professor. Do the following: (1) Give your opinion. In it, show authorities, citing law, regulations, interpretations and decisions applicable. (2) Enumerate and explain every step you take in reaching your result. These are extremely important - just as important as the conclusion itself.

Moon Gazers, Inc., produces telescopes for use by high school students. All direct materials used in the production of telescopes are added at the beginning of the manufacturing process. Labor and overhead are added evenly thereafter, as each unit is assembled, adjusted, and tested. Moon Gazers uses process costing and had the following unit production information available for the months of January and February. Jan. Feb. Number of units in beginning work in process inventory 0 120 Number of units started during the month 300 400 Total number of units transferred to finished goods 180 320 The units remaining in work in process at the end of January were approximately 60 percent complete. During the month of February, all of the beginning work in process units were completed and the units remaining in work in process at the end of the month were approximately 80 percent complete.

a. For the month of January, calculate the equivalent units produced for each of the two cost categories—direct materials and labor and overhead.
b. For the month of February, calculate the equivalent units produced for each of the two cost categories—direct materials and labor and overhead.

Researcher conducts a study to decide whether support groups improve academic performance for at-risk high school students. Ten such students are randomly selected to take part in the support group for a semester, while the other 10 at-risk students serve as a control group. At the end of the semester, the improvement in GPA versus the previous semester is recorded for each student.
Support Group: 0.5, 0.8, 0.7, 0.7, -0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.4, 0.5, 0.4
Control Group: -0.3, 0.0, -0.1, 0.2, -0.1, -0.2, -0.2, 0.0, -0.1, 0.1

At the 10% level, use R to compare the two groups using a permutation test (with 100,000 randomly generated permutations). You need to write your hypotheses, the test statistic, the pvalue, and the decision/conclusion in the context of the problem.

R code for reference:

SupportGroup <- c(0.5, 0.8, 0.7, 0.7, -0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.4, 0.5, 0.4)
ControlGroup <- c(-0.3, 0.0, -0.1, 0.2, -0.1, -0.2, -0.2, 0.0, -0.1, 0.1)

mean(SupportGroup);sd(SupportGroup)
mean(ControlGroup);sd(ControlGroup)

#permutation test on difference of means
choose(20,10)#number of possible permutations
new.dat <- c(SupportGroup,ControlGroup)
obs.mean.diff <- mean(SupportGroup) - mean(ControlGroup)
nsim <- 100000
sim.mean.diff <- rep(NA,length=nsim)
for (i in 1:nsim){
grps <- sample(c(rep(1,10),rep(2,10)),replace=FALSE)
sim.mean.diff[i] <- mean(new.dat[grps==1]) - mean(new.dat[grps==2])
}

hist(sim.mean.diff);abline(v=obs.mean.diff,col="red",lty=2)
length(sim.mean.diff[sim.mean.diff<=obs.mean.diff])/nsim #estimated p-value

Concord Corp. designs and manufactures mascot uniforms for high school, college, and professional sports teams. Since each team’s uniform is unique in color and design, Concord uses a job order costing system. On January 1, the T-accounts for some of Concord’s primary balance sheet accounts were as follows:

Raw Materials Inventory Work in Process Inventory
Beg. 16,000 Beg. 30,200
Finished Goods Inventory Cash
Beg. 23,400 Beg. 47,000
Accounts Receivable Accounts Payable
Beg. 62,300 Beg. 42,500

During the year, the following events occurred:

1. Concord purchased raw materials costing $83,000 on account.
2. Concord used $93,000 of raw materials in production. Of these, 70% were classified as direct materials and 30% as indirect materials. (Concord maintains a single Raw Materials Inventory account.)
3. Concord used 33,300 hours of direct labor. The company’s average direct labor rate was $7.50 per hour (credit Wages Payable).
4. The company’s only indirect labor cost was the salary of a security guard hired to watch the company’s shop after hours. The guard’s annual salary was $26,200 (credit Wages Payable).
5. Other manufacturing overhead costs the company incurred on account totaled $69,600.
6. Concord applied $134,000 in manufacturing overhead.
7. The company completed production of goods costing $325,000.
8. The company’s Cost of Goods Sold balance was $303,750 before adjusting for over- or underapplied overhead.
9. Sales revenue was $444,000 (all sales were made on account).
10. Concord collected $428,000 from customers.
11. The company paid accounts payable of $107,000.

12.

At year-end, all wages earned during the year had been paid.

Record the transactions above in the appropriate T-accounts and calculate ending balances. (Post entries in order presented in the problem.)

Python: High school assignment, please keep simple

In python:

Use the following initializer list to create an array:

twainQuotes = ["I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.",
    "Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.",
    "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.",
    "The secret of getting ahead is getting started.",
    "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. "]

Use array functions to sort the quotes. Use functions like extend, insert, pop, remove, sort

Then insert the quote "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear." at the correct spot alphabetically. Then reprint the quotes.
