Smoking remains more common in much of Europe than in the United States. In the United States, there is a strong relationship between education and smoking: well-educated people are less likely to smoke. Does a similar relationship hold in France? Here is a two-way table of the level of education and smoking status (nonsmoker, former smoker, moderate smoker, heavy smoker) of a sample of 467 French men aged 20 to 60 years. The subjects are a random sample of men who visited a health center for a routine checkup. We are willing to consider them an SRS of men from their region of France.

Education    Smoking Status
   Nonsmoker Former Moderate Heavy
Primary school 58 53 41 38
Secondary school 39 42 28 32
University 53 27 38 18

The null hypothesis states that there is no relationship between these variables. That is, the distribution of smoking is the same for all three levels of education.

(a) Find the expected counts for each smoking status among men with a university education. This is one row of the two-way table of expected counts. Find the row total and verify that it agrees with the row total for the observed counts.

Use two decimals for the expected counts and a whole number for the total.

Ali is a student at the University. He recently purchased a car for OMR5,000 to use it for going to the University. Ali also expects that other friends might ask for transportation from him. He expects a total monthly revenue of OMR50. He expects fuel cost to be OMR40 per month. One of Ali's friends is a taxi driver. He offered Ali to take him to University for a monthly fee of OMR10. Because he does not have to drive, Ali believes that he can perform online work that would earn him a monthly revenue of OMR30. What is the differential revenue in this scenario? Select one: O a. OMR40 O b. OMR50 O c. OMR20 O d. OMR10 O e. OMR30
2.The total prime cost of a product was OMR5,200. The variable manufacturing overhead is calculated based on the number of direct labor hours. The variable manufacturing overhead cost per hour is four times the direct labor cost per hour. The fixed manufacturing overhead was OMR2,000. Assuming that direct labor hours were 350 and that the direct labor cost was 30% of direct materials cost, how much is the total manufacturing cost? Select one: O a. OMR12,000 O b. OMR18,000 c. OMR7,200 O d. OMR26,000 O e. OMR28,000

You are a college student, and you have a friend at a rival university. The two of you compete in almost everything! One day, your friend boasted that students at her university are taller than the students at yours. You each gather a random sample of heights of people from your respective campuses. Your data are displayed below (units are inches).

Your friend's data: (checksum: 1213.5)

75.5 72 76.4 69.7 76 74.7 80.5 71.5 73.2 67.3
66.8 65.2 66.7 72.5 75.7 68.5 61.3

Using the appropriate function or routine in excel Consider attending one of the following two colleges as a full-time student. One is a public university with low tuition, while the other is a prestige university (they are both in the same city, so housing costs should be equal for each). Suppose you qualify for a partial scholarship at the private university. The financial information corresponding to attending each school is as follows.
Public university ​ Private University
Tuition and related expenses four years at: $3500 per year $29,000 per year
Earnings per year for first 5 years ​ $39,000 per year $56,000 per year
Earnings per year for next 10 years ​ $72,000 per year​ $89,000 per year
Earnings per year for next 17 years ​$88,000 per year​ $118,000 per year
Earnings per year for next 12 years ​$74,000 per year​ $90,000 per year​​
Assuming the decision will be made solely on net financial returns grounds, a) Calculate the present value of associated with attending each college using a three percent (3%) interest (i.e. discount) rate, and b) repeat the calculation using an 9.5% interest rate. C) explain whether the difference in interest rates did or did not change the financial decision.

From inception of operations to December 31, 2020, Metlock Corporation provided for uncollectible accounts receivable under the allowance method. The provisions are recorded, based on analyses of customers with different risk characteristics. Bad debts written off were charged to the allowance account; recoveries of bad debts previously written off were credited to the allowance account, and no year-end adjustments to the allowance account were made. Metlock’s usual credit terms are net 30 days.

The balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $114,400 (Cr.) at January 1, 2020. During 2020, credit sales totaled $7,920,000, the provision for doubtful accounts was determined to be $158,400, $79,200 of bad debts were written off, and recoveries of accounts previously written off amounted to $13,200. Metlock installed a computer system in November 2020, and an aging of accounts receivable was prepared for the first time as of December 31, 2020. A summary of the aging is as follows.

Classification by
Month of Sale

Balance in
Each Category

Estimated %
Uncollectible

November–December 2020 $950,400 2%
July–October 572,000 10%
January–June 369,600 25%
Prior to 1/1/20 132,000 80%
$2,024,000


Based on the review of collectibility of the account balances in the “prior to 1/1/20” aging category, additional receivables totaling $52,800 were written off as of December 31, 2020. The 80% uncollectible estimate applies to the remaining $79,200 in the category. Effective with the year ended December 31, 2020, Metlock adopted a different method for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts at the amount indicated by the year-end aging analysis of accounts receivable.

Prepare a schedule analyzing the changes in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020. Show supporting computations in good form. (Hint: In computing the 12/31/20 allowance, subtract the $52,800 write-off.)

The Pyramid Company has used the LIFO method of accounting for inventory during its first two years of operation, 2019 and 2020. At the beginning of 2021, Pyramid decided to change to the average cost method for both tax and financial reporting purposes. The following table presents information concerning the change for 2019–2021. The income tax rate for all years is 25%.

Income before Income Tax
Using Average Cost Method Using LIFO Method Difference Income
Tax Effect
Difference
after Tax
2019 $ 90,000 $ 60,000 $ 30,000 $ 7,500 $ 22,500
2020 45,000 36,000 9,000 2,250 6,750
Total $ 135,000 $ 96,000 $ 39,000 $ 9,750 $ 29,250
2021 $ 51,000 $ 46,000 $ 5,000 $ 1,250 $ 3,750


Pyramid issued 50,000 $1 par, common shares for $230,000 when the business began, and there have been no changes in paid-in capital since then. Dividends were not paid the first year, but $10,000 cash dividends were paid in both 2020 and 2021.

Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry at January 1, 2021, to record the change in accounting principle.
2. Prepare the 2021–2020 comparative income statements beginning with income before income taxes.
3. Prepare the 2021–2020 comparative statements of shareholders’ equity. [Hint: The 2019 statements reported retained earnings of $45,000. This is $60,000 − ($60,000 × 25%).]

  • Record the change in accounting principle.
  • Prepare the 2021–2020 comparative income statements beginning with income before income taxes. (Round EPS answers to 2 decimal places.)
  • Prepare the 2021–2020 comparative statements of shareholders’ equity. [Hint: The 2019 statements reported retained earnings of $45,000. This is $60,000 − ($60,000 × 25%).] (Deductions should be indicated by a minus sign.)

During your audit, you discover the following four items that have yet to be recorded:

1) No depreciation on the building has been recorded for 2020. Depreciation on the building is based on Double-Declining Balance. It was purchased on 1/1/18 and has an estimated useful life of 40 years. The estimated salvage value is $1,000,000.

2) Mahoney exhanged a machine for a similar machine on 12/31/2020. The origianl machine cost $3,429,000 and has a book value of $2,134,000. The new machine had a fair value of $1,823,000; Mahoney also received $511,000 in cash. The exchange lacked commercial substance.

3) Mahoney uses the Income Statement approach to record Bad Debts. Bad Debts in 2020 are estimate to be 4% of Sales.

4) Ending Inventory is to be estimated using the Gross Profit Method. The historic Gross Profit percentage is 20%.

Required

A) Record journal entries for items #1-3 above; show supporting computations. In addition, compute ending inventory per #4 above; show supporting computations. Assume adjusting/closing entries to adjust inventory, closing Purchases, and Record Cost of Goods Sold were properly made.

B) Draft the 2020 Condensed Income Statement and the 12/31/2020 Balance Sheet. Assume no Taxes. Do not include Earnings Per Share.
