During 2016 (its first year of operations) and 2017, Batali Foods used the FIFO inventory costing method for both financial reporting and tax purposes. At the beginning of 2018, Batali decided to change to the average method for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

Income components before income tax for 2018, 2017, and 2016 were as follows ($ in millions):

Dividends of $34 million were paid each year. Batali’s fiscal year ends December 31.

Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2018 to record the change in accounting principle. (Ignore income taxes.)
2. Prepare the 2018–2017 comparative income statements.
3. & 4. Determine the balance in retained earnings at January 2017 as Batali reported using FIFO method and determine the adjustment of balance in retained earnings as on January 2017 using average method instead of FIFO method.

Viscoelasticity and the non-linear rheology of polymers are responsible for phenomena such as rod climbing or die swell as well as part of the challenge of processing polymer melts. 1) explain why from a polymer physics point of view polymer melts can have non-Newtonian behaviors that do not scale linearly with molecular weight and 2) explain what one of these two examples are and posit an explanation for it.

It is believed that 1/4 of adults over 50 years old graduated from high school. We want to see if the percentage is the same for 30 year olds. How many should we survey in order to estimate the proportion of non-grads within 0.06 with 90 % confidence? Suppose we have no idea of the % of non-grads, what would be the "n" value?

The Austrian Trade-Cycle Theory of the Business Cycle assumes:

                        a.) the recurrence of the business cycle is a monetary phenomenon.

                        b.) the non-neutrality of money. Money has a driving force of its own.

                        c.) mal-investments are introduced in the boom of the business cycle and not in

                              the bust of the cycle. Capital consumption is the characteristic feature of the

      bust of a non-financial crisis business cycle.

d.) all of the above.

1. Given the non-template strand of DNA, draw the template strand with the 5' and 3' ends labeled. Draw the RNA molecule with the proper 5' and 3' ends labeled

Non-Template Strand: 3'- AAT GCT CGT AGC TTC GAT CGG ATC GA-5'

2. How many amino acids would the RNA molecule code for?

Given a list of numbers, could you build a Turing machine to sort them into non-decreasing order? Non-decreasing order is essentially the same thing as increasing order, except that it recognizes that some of the numbers might be repeated. Explain why this is or why this is not possible. Do not try to give an algorithm or even a description of how the machine would work--just an explanation as to why it is or is not possible.

Write a function lbs2lboz(p) that takes a non-negative number, p , that represents a weight in pounds and outputs a pair (l,o) such that l is an integer and p=l+o/16.

Write a function oz2lboz(oz) that takes a non-negative number, oz , that represents a weight in ounces and outputs a pair (l,o) such that l is an integer and oz=l*16+o.

Your original post must well detailed and should demonstrate an understanding and ability to apply relevant key concepts. In addition to your original post, you should respond to at least two of your peers. Make your responses constructive, and include your sources of information where applicable.

The Uruguay Round of the GATT began a process of phasing out the use of voluntary export restraints. Why did they come into widespread use in the 1980s? For instance, given that VERs (voluntary export restraints) are a form of quotas, and that they create quota rents and a larger reduction in national welfare than tariffs, why did nations use them instead of tariffs?

The GATT strongly favors tariffs as a protective measure over quotas or other non-tariff measures. It encourages new members to convert quotas to their tariff equivalents. One of the main reasons that tariffs are preferred is because they are more transparent, particularly by comparison to non-tariff measures. Explain the idea of transparency and how non-tariff measures may be non-transparent. Use examples to support your arguments.

1. %) Even integers with non repeating digits. Even integers are integers ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8. It is easy to see that for 2 digits integers, the number of 2 digits even integers is 45 (i.e. from 10 to 99, 10, 12, 14, …, 96, 98 are the 2 digits even integers); for 3 digits integers, the number of 3 digits even integers is 450 (from 100 to 999, 100, 102, 104, .. , till 994, 996, 998), and so on.

Now consider even integers with non-repeating digits. Calculate the number of even integers where digits can not be repeated

1. (3%) For 2 digits (how many even integers are among 10, 12, .., 96, 98 with non-repeating digits? This means 22, 444, 66, and 88 are not counted. Anything else)?
2. (5%) For 3 digits (how many even integers are among 100, 102, .., 996, 998 with non-repeating digits? Note this means 112, 202, 222, etc. are not included, but 102, 104 etc. are included.)
3. (7%) For 4 digits.

Refined crude oil has been used to lubricate moving parts in a wide variety of machines and engines. These petroleum-based lubricants are extracted from natural crude oil, and must be refined, desalted, dewaxed, and distilled from crude feedstock. However, recently, engineers are moving towards non-petroleum based lubricants or known as synthetic lubricants. Obtain information about non-petroleum based lubricants and summarize your findings in a brief report by following the format given below. The report should contain minimum 1500 words (excluding figure and table title and content, references)
