Both before and after seeing a movie designed to reduce sexism, five males responded to a symbolic sexism questionnaire. This questionaire measured covert sexist attitudes (moe subtle ones). The symbolic sexism questions were included in a large battery of personality questions that were completed one week before and after seeing the movie. Hence, it was unlikely that any participant would have guessed the researcher's hypothesis. High scores reflect greater sexism.

The president of Articulation Systems Inc., has asked you to develop a flexible financial statement package, using Excel that includes:
• a data entry sheet
• an adjusted trial balance,
• a single-step income statement,
• a multi-step income statement,
• a statement of retained earnings,
• a classified balance sheet, and
• a post-close trial balance
Additional Instructions: You can ignore taxes in this project. Each statement must be on one sheet in the file and this file should allow the financial statements to be prepared quickly by entering account balances in the appropriate cells on the first sheet of the file (book) – data entry sheet.

Consider the following matched samples representing observations before and after an experiment. Assume that the sample differences are normally distributed. Use Table 2.

  Before 2.5 1.8 1.4 -2.9 1.2 -1.9 -3.1 2.5
  After 2.9 3.1 3.9 -1.8 0.2 0.6 -2.5 2.9

Let the difference be defined as BeforeAfter.

Implement the test at a 5% significance level. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

A. The (before-tax cost of debt/after-tax cost of debt) is the interest rate that a firm pays on any new debt financing.

B. Perpetualcold Refrigeration Company (PRC) can borrow funds at an interest rate of 11.10% for a period of four years. Its marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 45%. PRC’s after-tax cost of debt is (6.11%/7.03%/5.80%/6.72%) (rounded to two decimal places).

C. At the present time, Perpetualcold Refrigeration Company (PRC) has 10-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding. These bonds have a current market price of $1,278.41 per bond, carry a coupon rate of 11%, and distribute annual coupon payments. The company incurs a federal-plus-state tax rate of 45%. If PRC wants to issue new debt, what would be a reasonable estimate for its after-tax cost of debt (rounded to two decimal places)?

a. 3.87%

b. 3.48%

c. 4.45%

Write the code that will produce the given "after" result from the given "before" starting point by modifying links between the nodes shown. Assume that the nodes have already been declared and initialized to match the "before" figure below. There may be more than one way to write the code, but do NOT change any existing node's data field value. Do not create any new nodes, you must just rearrange the existing nodes.  

If a variable does not appear in the "after" picture, it doesn't matter what value it has after the changes are made. If a given node object does not appear in the "After" picture, you must free its memory to avoid a memory leak.

You should not be depending on the values of the nodes, the second test case here will test a list1->a->b->c->d (some other list of the values). And it must be re-arranged in the same way.  

Before
list1: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 /
After
list1: 3 -> 2 /
list2: 4 -> 1 /

Assume that you are using the following ListNode structure:

struct ListNode {
    int data;        // data stored in this node
    ListNode* next;  // a link to the next node in the list
​};

Edit here:

#pragma once
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

struct ListNode {
int data;
ListNode* next;
};

void pointerFun(ListNode* &list1, ListNode* &list2) {
// TODO: write your code here
}

Leila owns 14% of the ordinary share of Datafarm Ltd. Assume dividends from Datafarm is the only income Leila has and she has no savings. In early March, 2020, Datafarm Ltd reported net profits after tax of $1,000,000 for the year, 2019 (1 January to 1 December, 2019), and announced due to the effect of COVID 19 Global pandemic it expects net profits after tax for the current year, 2020, to be 30% lower than last year’s figure. The company currently has a dividend payout ratio of 30%, which it will apply for the annual dividend for 2019, payable in July 2020, but it will reduce the dividend payout ratio to 20% for the dividend for 2020, payable in July, 2021. In July, 2021, Leila wishes to spend $45,000. How much can she consume in July, 2020 if the capital market offers an interest rate of 9% per year

You are a financial planner for Kelly Roberts. Kelly has just started a new job as an IT programmer for the Australian government. They will pay her a salary of AUD$70,000 p.a. She expects her salary to grow at 3% p.a. each year based on previous data. Inflation in Australia is 1%. After a detailed discussion, she has decided that she will deposit 20% of her salary by automatic withdrawals: half into a TFSA; half into a taxable account. The income on the TFSA is never taxed. The income in the taxable account is taxed at 35% p.a. She is an aggressive investor who expects a nominal annual return of 8% p.a. on both accounts.

a) Calculate the following amounts after 8 years, all payments made at year end.

  1. The nominal value in the TFSA
  2. The after-tax nominal value in the taxable account

b) Explain to Kelly, using calculations, whether inflation is a major concern for her investments or not.

c) Explain to Kelly two assumptions you have made in your calculations and explain two examples which would make your calculations inaccurate.

Treasure Corp. is a public company and has 100,000 common shares outstanding and 15,000 cumulative $2 preferred shares outstanding. In 2020, the company reported income from continuing operations before income tax of $2,830,000. Additional transactions not considered in the $2,830,000 are as follows: 1. In 2020, Treasure Corp. sold equipment for $65,000. The machine had originally cost $60,000 and had accumulated depreciation to date of $45,000. 2. The company sold one of its subsidiaries during the current year. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations. The loss on 2020 operations of this subsidiary was $60,000 before tax. The loss from disposal of the subsidiary was $7,000 before tax. 3. Treasure purchased new computers for $20,000 cash at the end of 2020 to take advantage of a supplier promotion. By doing so, the company saved $4,000. 4. At year end, the company reviewed its accounts receivable and determined that a $6,700 of accounts receivable that had been outstanding since May appeared unlikely to be collected. No allowance for doubtful accounts was previously set up. 5. An internal audit discovered that amortization (depreciation) expense on a patent had been erroneously missed for both 2019 and 2020. The patent had a cost of $120,000 and has an 8-year useful life. 6. The company had an unrealized gain of $41,000 (not taxable) on their FV-OCI investment. Instructions: a. Make a list with one to six and for each of the 6 points, indicate if the transaction would effect Continuing Operations, Discontinued Operations, Other Comprehensive Income or N/A and by what before-tax amount, positive or negative. E.g. “8. Discontinued +53,000” b. Taking into account the above information, prepare a Statement of Financial Performance for the year 2020, starting with income from continuing operations before income tax. Calculate earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement (The preferred share dividends are $30,000). Assume a total effective tax rate of 30% on all points, unless otherwise indicated. c. Not all information is created equal. Using an example from the information provided in points 1 through 6, explain how the quality of earning information could have shortcomings. Be clear but concise and limit your answer to two to three sentences.
