Let's consider a limited set of climate data, examining temperature differences in 1948 vs 2018
7.19 Global warming, Part I.
Let's consider a limited set of climate data, examining temperature differences in 1948 vs 2018. We sampled 197 locations from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) historical data, where the data was available for both years of interest. We want to know: were there more days with temperatures exceeding 90°F in 2018 or in 1948?12 The difference in number of days exceeding 90'F (number of days in 2018- number of days in 1948) was calculated for each of the 197 locations. The average of these differences was 2.9 days with a standard deviation of 17.2 days. We are interested in determining whether these data provide strong evidence that there were more days in 2018 that exceeded 90°F from NOAA's weather stations.
(a) Is there a relationship between the observations collected in 1948 and 2018? Or are the observations in the two groups independent? Explain.
(b) Write hypotheses for this research in symbols and in words.
(c) Check the conditions required to complete this test. A histogram of the differences is given to the right.
(d) Calculate the test statistic and find the p-value.
(e) Use a 0.05 to evaluate the test, and interpret your conclusion in context.
(f) What type of error might we have made? Explain in context what the error means.
(g) Based on the results of this hypothesis test, would you expect a confidence interval for the average difference between the number of days exceeding 90°F from 1948 and 2018 to include 0? Explain your reasoning. Dferences in Number of Days

Witter House is a calendar-year firm with 410 million common shares outstanding throughout 2018 and 2019. As part of its executive compensation plan, at January 1, 2017, the company had issued 50 million executive stock options permitting executives to buy 50 million shares of stock for $15 within the next eight years, but not prior to January 1, 2020. The fair value of the options was estimated on the grant date to be $3 per option.
In 2018, Witter House began granting employees stock awards rather than stock options as part of its equity compensation plans and granted 25 million restricted common shares to senior executives at January 1, 2018. The shares vest four years later. The fair value of the stock was $20 per share on the grant date. The average price of the common shares was $20 and $25 during 2018 and 2019, respectively.
The stock options qualify for tax purposes as an incentive plan. The restricted stock does not. The company's net income was $260 million and $270 million in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Its income tax rate is 40%.
Required:
1. Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for Witter House in 2018.
2. Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for Witter House in 2019.
(For all requirements, do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10.00).)

Gidi Professional Institute is constructing a Tuition Center at Aboabo that will take about 18 months to complete. The company commenced construction on 2 January 2018.

31 January 40,000
31 March 90,000
- June 20,000
- October 40,000

The first payment on 31 January was funded from the company’s pool of debts. However, the company succeeded in raising Medium-Term Loan Notes for an amount of GH¢160,000,000 on 31 March 2018 at a simple interest rate of 9 percent per year, calculated and payable monthly in arrears.
These funds were specifically used for the construction. Excess funds were temporarily invested at 6 percent monthly in arrears and payable in cash. The pool of debts was again used for a GH¢40,000,000 payment on 30 November 2018 which could not be funded from the Medium-Term Loan Notes. The construction project was temporarily halted for three weeks in May 2018 when substantial technical and administrative work was carried out.
The following amounts of debts were outstanding at the reporting date of 31 December 2018:

Prepare the statement of cash flows of Surmise Company for the year ended December 31, 2018. Use the indirect method to present cash flows from operating activities because you do not have sufficient information to use the direct method. You will need to make reasonable assumptions concerning the reasons for changes in some account balances. A spreadsheet or T-account analysis will be helpful. (Hint: The right to use a building was acquired with a seven-year lease agreement. Annual lease payments of $8 million are paid at January 1 of each year starting in 2018.)
