You are working for Mindak LLP, an accounting consulting firm, as a research and accounting specialist. Rowling Inc., an important manufacturing client, has asked you to research and explain the accounting rules for property, plant and equipment issues that the company is experiencing. The client wants you to reference and briefly explain the GAAP rules provided in the FASB codification. Rowling Inc. will then use your business professional memo to look up the rules in the codification.

Instructions: Research the FASB codification to identify several areas of interest (Items a-d below) for your client. Find all parts of the codification that relate to the item requested and then list the ASC Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph for each area that you find. You need to reference all of the codification solutions as FASB ASC XXX-XX-XX-X. You should not copy and paste paragraphs and sentences from the codification into your solution. The client will go to the code reference and look up the GAAP guidance.

In your own words, in addition to citing the reference areas, include 2 sentences that describe the information for the following issues:

(a) the capitalization period for interest being capitalized on self-constructed assets,

(b) impairment of property, plant and equipment,

(c) changes in the estimate of depreciation useful life or salvage value,

(d) the primary disclosures that need to be made for property, plant and equipmen

A marketing consultant was hired to visit a random sample of five sporting goods stores across the state of California. Each store was part of a large franchise of sporting goods stores. The consultant taught the managers of each store better ways to advertise and display their goods. The net sales for 1 month before and 1 month after the consultant’s visit were recorded as follows for each store (in thousands of dollars):

Before visit: 57.1 94.6 49.2 77.4 43.2
After visit: 63.5 101.8 57.8 81.2 41.9

Answer the below questions using 200-250 words each;

DQ1: College stress
Determine your main stressors as a college student? Could you relate to any of the situations in the text? Explain which ones are most problematic for you and list some interventions that may assist you through this time in your life.

DQ2: Occupational stress

These don’t need to be answered in 1-2-3 order. Use the following questions as a guide for your answer. They are the springboard for discussion and the topics should be addressed in your answer. Be sure to support your opinions and suggestions. That is what academic discussion is all about!:

Do you have burnout or brownout? Is it due to your type of occupation or gender? Would you classify your personality as a ‘workaholic”? Looking at the Occupational Stress Model, identify your source(s) of stress, your individual characteristics and any symptoms you may suffer. If you suffer from burnout/brownout, please explain how you will improve your work situation to make it less stressful.

If you are not currently experiencing either burnout or brownout, what strategies can you put in place now to prevent this in the future? If you are not yet in your career, research the probability that your future career may be a stressful one and report your findings. Be sure to cite your source.

Symposium is part of a larger work referred to as Plato's Dialogues. Wishart and Leach† found that about 21.4% of five-syllable sequences in Symposium are of the type in which four are short and one is long. Suppose an antiquities store in Athens has a very old manuscript that the owner claims is part of Plato's Dialogues. A random sample of 489 five-syllable sequences from this manuscript showed that 130 were of the type four short and one long. Do the data indicate that the population proportion of this type of five-syllable sequence is higher than that found in Plato's Symposium? Use α = 0.01.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: p < 0.214; H₁: p = 0.214H₀: p > 0.214; H₁: p = 0.214    H₀: p = 0.214; H₁: p > 0.214H₀: p = 0.214; H₁: p ≠ 0.214H₀: p = 0.214; H₁: p < 0.214

(b) What sampling distribution will you use?

The Student's t, since np > 5 and nq > 5.The standard normal, since np < 5 and nq < 5.    The Student's t, since np < 5 and nq < 5.The standard normal, since np > 5 and nq > 5.

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)


(c) Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

1. In mice, one of the gene determining coat color is the A gene, which has multple alleles. two of these are an Allele for black hair (a) and allele for yellow hair (A^y₎ . (A^y) is completely dominant to a; however, for reasons that are unclear ( at least to me), A^YA^Y mice always die before embroyic development is completed.

a) two mice with yellow hair mate with each other. what are the genotype of the mice?

b) for this cross, give the expected genotype (s) and phenotype (s) for pups that survive embroyic development. A punnet square may help you to solve this part of the probelm.

2. The lubber grasshopper is very large, and as nymph is black with red and yellow stripes, Assume that individuals with the genotype RR have red stripes; that individuals with phenotype rr have yellow stripes; and that individuals with genotype Rr have both red and yellow stripes.

a) if you cross two grasshoppers that, as nymphs, had both red and yellow stripes, then give the expected genotype (s) and phenotype (s) for the offspring. A punnet square may help you to solve this part of the problem.

b) If you cross a grasshopper with both red and yellow stripes with one that has just red stripes, then give the expected genotype (s) and phenotype (s) for the offspring. Again, a punnet square may help you to solve this part of the problem.

3. The common grackle is a blackbird that is common over most of thge eastern and central united states. Suppose that, in grackles, the alleles for long tail (L) is cpmpletly dominant to the alleles for short tail (l). A female with a short tail mates with a long-tailed male, and that mating produces a brood of four chicks- of which just one chick survives, and that a short tail.

a) what is the genotype of the female parent?

b)what is the genotype of the male parent?

c) what is the genotype of the one survival chick?

d) imagine that, instead of just one chick surviving, all four survived. give the expected genotype (s) and phenotype (s) for the chicks. Apunnet square may help you to solve this part of the problem.

4. in human, tongue rolling is controlled by a single gene (the R gene); for that gene, the rolling alleles (R) is completely dominant and the non-rolling (r) is reccessive. Also in human, curly hair is controlled by a single gene (the H gene); for the gene, the curly-hair allele (H) is completely dominant and the straight-hair allele (h) is recessive.

a) there is a curly-haired non-tongue rolling man, and of the man's parents has straight hair. what is man's genotype?

b) there is a straight-haired tongue-rolling woman,and one of the woma's parents is a non-roller. what is the woman's genotype?

c) the man from part a marries the woman from part b. give the expected genotypoe (s) and phenotype (s) of their children. Be sure to use a punnet square to solve this part of the problem.

5) In the breeding season, male anole lizards court females by bobbing their heads up and down while displaying a colorful throat patch. suppose that the allele for fast head-bobbing (F) is completely dominant to the allele for slow bobbing (f), and that the allele for red throat patch (R) is completely dominant to the allele for a yellow throat patch (r). further, suppose that a female homozygous recessive for both traits mates with a male homozygous dominant for both traits.

a) for the offspring of this pairs- the F₁ generation give the expected genotype (s) and phenotype (s).

b) imagine that one of the F₁ individuals mates with an unrelated individual of identical phenotype. if this happens, then the offspring of this mating would be expected to have what genotype (s) and phenotype (s)? be sure to use a punnet square to slove this part of the problem.

Draw a picture of the bacterial growth curve chart. Label each section and describe what is occurring in each section.

Answer the following questions:
1. Guests at a busy eight-story four-star hotel are consistently complaining about having
to wait too long for the elevator. At 8:00am, some of the elevators are in use by the
housekeeping department whose associates are going up to begin work on the guest
rooms. At the same time, room service has an elevator blocked off to serve in-room
breakfasts because the kitchen and the banqueting departments are using the service
elevators. Then, at about 10:30 am, the housekeepers use the elevators to go down for
their morning break. Guests have come to you as a front office supervisor to report the
issue.

Question:
The general manager recognises your potential and asks you to come up with
suggestions to take care of the problem/challenge. 20 marks

2. As a front office supervisor, you have realised that a client disagrees with your front
office clerk on a request being made. The client is not happy about the outcome and is
seriously angry. Does that mean that the message has not been properly understood by
the client? Or could it mean something else? Explain 20 marks

The manufacturer of a particular battery pack for laptop computers claims its battery pack can function for 8 hours on average. A random sample of 36 batteries was selected and placed to the test. The mean functioning time before recharge was 7.2 hours. We can assume that the population stand deviation is 1.9 hours. A competitor claims this is too high. Can you perform the appropriate test of hypothesis to determine whether the competitor is correct? Testing using alpha = 0.01

A) State and calculate the value of the test statistics

B) Use the critical value approach to test your hypothesis using alpha = 0.01

C) Use the p- value approach to test your hypothesis using alpha = 0.01. What's your conclusion?

D) Calculate an appropriate confidence interval (To sided, lower, or upper bound) and explain how it can be used to test the hypothesis.

Thanks for any help, I'm learning this stuff and it can be pretty hard!

We have covered several ratios in this unit that users of financial statements can work with to evaluate a company’s performance. However, not all ratios are important for or applicable to all organizations. In particular, service organizations have different business models than manufacturing organizations. Using the CPA Firm you worked with for your Unit 5 portfolio assignment, explain which financial ratios would be applicable to the company and which would not. State the reasons for your assertions.

As portfolio activities are to be self-reflective, please make sure to connect the portfolio assignment to:

• Your personal experiences. Reflect on how this assignment topic is applicable to and will benefit you.
• Course readings and any external readings.
• Discussion forum posts or other course objectives.

The Portfolio Activity entry should be a minimum of 500 words and not more than 750 words. Use APA citations and references if you use ideas from the readings or other sources.
