Exhibit: Costco Customers.

Customers at Costco spend an average of $130 per trip (The Wall Street Journal, October 6, 2010). One of Costco’s rivals would like to determine whether Costco's customers spend more per trip. A survey of the receipts of 25 customers found that the sample mean was $135.25. Assume that the population standard deviation of spending is $10.50 and the spending follows a normal distribution (use the significance level 0.07).

What price elasticity of demand issues are raised in this case study?

Q1. Price rise at the Daily Mirror

Sly Bailey, the Trinity Mirror Chief Executive, sought to boost revenues of the Daily Mirror in 2004 by increasing the price of the tabloid newspaper by 3p, from 32p to 35p. The move is a sharp U-turn of the policy of Philip Graf, her predecessor, who tried to boost Daily Mirror circulation by cutting the cover price, triggering a price war with its rivals The Sun and the Daily Star. Ms. Bailey ended the price war as soon as she took over at Trinity Mirror in 2003. The Daily Mirror will now cost 5p more than the The Sun, which is owned by News International, parent company of the Times. It appears that The Sun has no immediate plans to increase its price. The Daily Mirror last increases its price in September 1999 but the tabloid newspaper market in the UK is fiercely competitive and it’s not clear what the effect on its circulation will be.

What does article mean?

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements.

Judgment is also required to assess whether future releases of certain software represent new products or upgrades and enhancements to existing products. Certain volume licensing arrangements include a perpetual license for current products combined with rights to receive unspecified future versions of software products and are accounted for as subscriptions, with billings recorded as unearned revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the coverage period.

Software updates are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they meet the definition of an upgrade, which may require revenue to be deferred and recognized when the upgrade is delivered. If it is determined that implied post-contract customer support (“PCS”) is being provided, revenue from the arrangement is deferred and recognized over the implied PCS term. If updates are determined to not meet the definition of an upgrade, revenue is generally recognized as products are shipped or made available.

Microsoft enters into arrangements that can include various combinations of software, services, and hardware. Where elements are delivered over different periods of time, and when allowed under U.S. GAAP, revenue is allocated to the respective elements based on their relative selling prices at the inception of the arrangement, and revenue is recognized as each element is delivered. We use a hierarchy to determine the fair value to be used for allocating revenue to elements: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence, and (iii) best estimate of selling price (“ESP”). For software elements, we follow the industry-specific software guidance which only allows for the use of VSOE in establishing fair value. Generally, VSOE is the price charged when the deliverable is sold separately or the price established by management for a product that is not yet sold if it is probable that the price will not change before introduction into the marketplace. ESPs are established as best estimates of what the selling prices would be if the deliverables were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. Our process for determining ESPs requires judgment and considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable.

Customers purchasing a Windows 10 license will receive unspecified updates and upgrades over the life of their Windows 10 device at no additional cost. As these updates and upgrades will not be sold on a stand-alone basis, we are unable to establish VSOE. Accordingly, revenue from licenses of Windows 10 is recognized ratably over the estimated life of the related device, which ranges between two to four years.

The new standard related to revenue recognition will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 1 – Accounting Policies in the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) for further discussion

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $215 and $160, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $7 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 125,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below: Alpha Beta Direct materials $ 42 $ 21 Direct labor 35 28 Variable manufacturing overhead 23 21 Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 31 34 Variable selling expenses 28 24 Common fixed expenses 31 26 Total cost per unit $ 190 $ 154 The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

4. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 106,000 Betas during the current year. One of Cane’s sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 4,000 additional Betas for a price of $74 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer's order?

5. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 111,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 26,000 additional Alphas for a price of $144 per unit; however pursuing this opportunity will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 12,000 units. a. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer’s order? b. Based on your calculations above should the special order be accepted?

Assume that Cane normally produces and sells 106,000 Betas per year. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Beta product line?

Paulina's Pizza is a well-known pizzeria and has contracted with a Business Analyst to estimate its cost equation. Based on

the data provided, the Business Analyst hypothesized that total costs were a function of fixed costs and variable costs. Recalling

from her BUSI 108 class, she hypothesized the following equation to be estimated,

                 Estimated Total Costs = b0 + b1*Pizzas

                 where

                 b0 = total fixed costs

                 b1 = marginal cost to produce 1 pizza

                 Pizzas = the quantity of pizzas produced

Using the least squares method, her regression results are the following,

                  Estimated Total Cost = 1,000 + 4*Pizzas

Paulina's Pizza tells the Business Analyst that they have tracked daily customer demand and the number of Pizzas sold depends

on the day of the week. Monday through Thursday (MidWeek) a low of 140 Pizzas per day are sold but Friday through Sunday

(Weekend) a high of 220 Pizzas per day are sold.

Pizzas are sold at a price of $10 per Pizza.

a) Assemble the Parameter Sections and the Model Sections for Paulina's Pizza. Calculate Total Cost, Total Revenue and Profit/

(Loss) for 170 Pizzas sold. Starting at 140 Pizzas and increasing by 10 to a maximum of 220 Pizzas, create a One-Way Data Table

calculating the Profit/(Loss) for the range of Pizzas that are sold during a week.

An area not-for-profit organization has asked Paulina's to assist with a fundraiser for their organization. The request is to

give 20% of the Pizza Price sold their organization when a customer presents a printed coupon from the organization. From

past experience with fundraisers, the percentage of customers that present the coupon ranged from 30% to 50%.

b) Using the What-If Analysis and the associated functions, create a table to reveal the range of Profit/(Loss) from both

the range of possible Pizzas sold and the percentage of customers who present the 20% coupon. There are several ways to

approach this problem but the objective is to create a table to show the various outcomes. Remember, Paulina's Pizza will

give 20% of its Total Revenue for that one day to a range of 30% to 50% of the customers that present the coupon.

C# (Thank you in advance)

Create an Employee class with five fields: first name, last name, workID, yearStartedWked, and initSalary. It includes constructor(s) and properties to initialize values for all fields.

Create an interface, SalaryCalculate, class that includes two functions: first,CalcYearWorked() function, it takes one parameter (currentyear) and calculates the number of year the worker has been working. The second function, CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary.

Create a Worker classes that is derived from Employee and SalaryCalculate class.

  • In Worker class, it includes two field, nYearWked and curSalary, and constructor(s). It defines the CalcYearWorked() function using (current year – yearStartedWked) and save it in the nYearWked variable. It also defines the CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary by using initial salary with 3% yearly increment.

Create a Manager class that is derived from Worker class.

  • In Manager class, it includes one field: yearPromo and constructor(s). Itincludes a CalcCurSalary function that calculate the current year salary by overriding the base class function using initial salary with 5% yearly increment plus 10% bonus. The manager’s salary calculates in two parts. It calculates as a worker before the year promoted and as a manager after the promotion.

Write an application that reads the workers and managers information from files (“worker.txt” and “manager.txt”) and then creates the dynamic arrays of objects. Prompt the user for current year and display the workers’ and managers’ current information in separate groups: first and last name, ID, the year he/she has been working, and current salary.
