The comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker's parents were provided. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The overall mean SAT math score was (College Board website, January 8, 2012). SAT math scores for independent samples of students follow. The first sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are college graduates with a bachelor's degree. The second sample shows the SAT math test scores for students whose parents are high school graduates but do not have a college degree.

At Rio Salado College, it was observed that 26% of the students were still classified as dependents on their parents. However, in the honors program for students, 70 out of 222 students are dependents. The administrators want to know if the proportion of dependent students in the honors program is significantly different from the proportion for the school district. Test at the α=.05 level of significance.
What is the hypothesized population proportion for this
test?

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 65 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:
| Fixed Cost per Month | Cost per Course | Cost per Student |
|||||
| Instructor wages | $ | 2,960 | |||||
| Classroom supplies | $ | 270 | |||||
| Utilities | $ | 1,210 | $ | 70 | |||
| Campus rent | $ | 4,700 | |||||
| Insurance | $ | 2,000 | |||||
| Administrative expenses | $ | 3,800 | $ | 41 | $ | 6 | |
For example, administrative expenses should be $3,800 per month plus $41 per course plus $6 per student. The company’s sales should average $870 per student.
The company planned to run four courses with a total of 65 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 59 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:
| Actual | ||
| Revenue | $ | 53,650 |
| Instructor wages | $ | 11,120 |
| Classroom supplies | $ | 17,400 |
| Utilities | $ | 1,900 |
| Campus rent | $ | 4,700 |
| Insurance | $ | 2,140 |
| Administrative expenses | $ | 3,780 |
Required:
Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

This question relates to material covered in Topic 1 particularly the Australian taxation system and the dividend imputation credits. This question addresses the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th subject learning outcomes. Students are expected to conduct their own research and develop their own opinions about the merits of this topic. There is no single correct answer and students will be marked on the depth of their research, the quality of their arguments (for and against), and their demonstrated understanding of the issues involved in this complex area of financial policy. Write an essay of between 600 and 1,000 words discussing the following topic. The Australian federal government and business representative bodies argue that the Australian corporate tax rate is too high and makes Australia uncompetitive with competing economies. The government has plans to eventually lower the Australian corporate tax rate to 25%. The government believes that this will improve the economy and ultimately taxpayers by stimulating business investment and creating jobs. Internationally, many countries are lowering their corporate tax rates including, most recently, Donald Trump’s United States. Does Australia’s current level of corporate taxation make the country economically uncompetitive? Start by reviewing The Conversation article Fact Check: Is Australia’s corporate tax rate not competitive with the rest of the region?” (https://theconversation.com/factcheck-is-australias-corporate-tax-rate-not-competitive-with-the-rest-of-the-region-37226). Do you believe that lowering the Australian corporate tax rate is good policy? Discuss this issue and give particular consideration to the Australian dividend imputation system and how the Australian corporate tax rate impacts on Australian taxpayers. There are a divergence of views and resources available for students to access. There are many items in the mainstream online media which canvas the Government’s view and also that of those opposing. Students should access resources from government, industry, and not for profit community groups such as Get Up! as well as the broader print and electronic media. Remember, there is no correct answer and individual students will be assessed on their demonstrated understanding of the issues and the depth and quality of their individual research.

A local instructor wants you to write a program to calculate the average score made on exams by her students. For simplicity, she always has only 12 students in each course she teaches. She teaches multiple subjects so she would like to enter the name of the exam. She wants the program to also determine the highest and lowest scores and the number of students who passed and failed the exam. A score of 60 or above is considered passing. Also determine the number of scores that were an A (90 or better), B (80 – 89), C (70 – 79), D (60 – 69), or F (below 60).

For case Review #3, you should rely heavily on Section F of the ACA Code of Ethics. There are a few other potential aspects in other section(s), But Section F is important. Please read the case and answer the questions:
Case Review # 3 Counseling Role-playing
In a graduate counseling pre-practicum laboratory class, graduate students practice their skills by role-playing as “counselor” and “client”. The instructions are for the student who is serving as the client to either make-up a situation and role play it or use a real situation in their life. No one is to ask if the situation is real or not. The assumption is the “problem” is made up. Students are encouraged to make the situation as authentic as possible so their fellow-students get the best possible training opportunity. Other students in the practicum class and the professor observe the role-play live and provide feedback to the student who is serving as the “counselor”.
In a session early in the semester, a student serving as the “client” begins to discuss issues regarding a divorce, which are extremely painful for her. She is soon in tears, and it seems clear that the student is not role-playing. The other students and the professor do not comment on the situation to the “client” and do provide feedback to her student/“counselor” concerning how to handle the situation in the next session. No one suggests that the issue should not be discussed further by the “client”. Plans are formulated regarding the next counseling session to further explore this issue with the “client”.
Answer the Following Questions:
1. Identify 3 major moral principles that are involved in the case? Briefly describe how they are involved.
2. Identify 7 to 10 standards of the ACA ethical code (Use the ACA 2014 Code of Ethics) that are involved in the case? Give the ACA Code Standard number and a brief description of how it is involved.
3. What practices or procedures, which if in place, might eliminate or mitigate the ethical dilemma?
4. Given the current situation, what course of action would you recommend for the counselor to implement?
