Bonita Ranch & Farm is a distributor of ranch and farm
equipment. Its products include small tools, power equipment for
trench-digging and fencing, grain dryers, and barn winches. Most
products are sold direct via its company Internet site. However,
given some of its specialty products, select farm implement stores
carry Bonita’s products. Pricing and cost information on three of
Bonita’s most popular products are as follows.
| Item | Stand-Alone Selling Price (Cost) | ||
| Mini-trencher | $3,900 | ($2,200) | |
| Power fence hole auger | 1,320 | ($880) | |
| Grain/hay dryer | 15,470 | ($12,100) | |
Respond to the requirements related to the following independent
revenue arrangements for Bonita Ranch & Farm. IFRS is a
constraint.
1. On January 1, 2020, Bonita sells augers to Mills Farm & Fleet for $52,800. Mills signs a six-month note at an annual interest rate of 12%. Bonita allows Mills to return any auger that it cannot use within 60 days and receive a full refund. Based on prior experience, Bonita estimates that 5% of units sold to customers like Mills will be returned (using the most likely outcome approach). Bonita’s costs to recover the products will be immaterial, and the returned augers are expected to be resold at a profit. Prepare the journal entries for Bonita on January 1, 2020.
2.On August 10, 2020, Bonita sells 17 mini-trenchers to a farm co-op in western Canada. Bonita provides a 4% volume discount on the mini-trenchers if the co-op has a 15% increase in purchases from Bonita compared with the prior year. Given the slowdown in the farm economy, sales to the co-op have been flat, and it is highly uncertain that the benchmark will be met.
3. Bonita sells three grain/hay dryers to a local farmer at a
total contract price of $50,000. In addition to the dryers, Bonita
provides installation, which has a stand-alone sales value of
$1,020 per unit installed. The contract payment also includes a
$1,530 maintenance plan for the dryers for three years after
installation. Bonita signs the contract on June 20, 2020, and
receives a 20% down payment from the farmer. The dryers are
delivered and installed on October 1, 2020, and full payment is
made to Bonita.
Prepare the journal entries for Bonita in 2020 related to this
arrangement as well as any adjusting journal entries at its
December year end
4. On April 25, 2020, Bonita ships 110 augers to Farm Depot, a
farm supply dealer in Alberta, on consignment. By June 30, 2020,
Farm Depot has sold 70 of the consigned augers at the listed price
of $1,320 per unit. Farm Depot notifies Bonita of the sales,
retains a 8% commission, and remits the cash due to Bonita.
Prepare the journal entries for Bonita and Farm Depot for the
consignment arrangement

We consider a population of cars from a given model year. A sample of 24 such cars
has been recently sold. The sale price as a function of the age of the car is in the Excel
file S4.XLSX (Car) in the Excel directory.
a. Try a linear regression and an exponential (non-linear) regression with Excel to
fit these data. Comment your results.
b. Which regression model seems to fit the data better and why?
c. Run the LINEST function in Excel. Provide the result table.
| Car sale price | |
| Age (year) | Price ($) |
| 1 | 119400 |
| 3 | 73200 |
| 5 | 51000 |
| 2 | 91800 |

e. Demonstrate that you were successful in creating the user by logging in and displaying the directory tree for that user.
In: Computer Science
can you please do the following?
(8) Step 8: type the following command:
sort /etc/passwd | head -5
What is the output?
Notice that this pipe can be simplified
cat /etc/passwd | head -5
What is the output for this?
You could accomplish the same thing more efficiently with either of the two commands:
head -5 /etc/passwd
head -5 < /etc/passwd
(9) Step 9:
The command displays all the files in the current directory sorted by file size
ls -al | sort -n -r +4
What is the output? What are the outputs sorting according to? Which column is this?
The command ls -al writes the file size in the fifth column, which is why we skip the first four columns using +4.
The options -n and -r request a numeric sort (which is different than the normal alphabetic sort) in reverse order
awk
Topics covered: processing columnar data
Utilities covered: awk
The awk utility is used for processing columns of data
(10) Step 10:
The following example shows how to extract column 5 (the file size) from the output of ls -l
ls -l | awk '{print $5}'
What is the output?
Cut and paste this line into a Bourne shell and you should see a column of file sizes, one per file in your current directory.
(11) Step 11:
The following example shows how to sum the file sizes and print the result at the end of the awk run
ls -al | awk '{sum = sum + $5} END {print sum}'
In this example you should see printed just one number, which is the sum of the file sizes in the current directory.
Shell Scripts
Topics covered: storing commands in a file and executing the file
Utilities covered: date, cal, last (shows who has logged in recently)
(12) Step 12:
Store the following in a file named simple.sh and execute it
#!/bin/sh
# Show some useful info at the start of the day
date
echo Good morning $USER
cal
last | head -6
What is the result after you execute it?(Shows current date, calendar, and a six of previous logins Notice that the commands themselves are not displayed, only the results )
last command - display login and logout information about users and
terminals
(13) Step 13:
To display the commands verbatim as they run, execute with
sh -v simple.sh
Another way to display the commands as they run is with -x
sh -x simple.sh
What is the difference between -v and -x? Notice that with -v you see '$USER' but with -x you see your login name
Run the command 'echo $USER' at your terminal prompt and see that the variable $USER stores your login name
With -v or -x (or both) you can easily relate any error message that may appear to the command that generated it
(14) Step 14:
When an error occurs in a script, the script continues executing at the next command
Verify this by changing 'cal' to 'caal' to cause an error, and then run the script again
Run the 'caal' script with 'sh -v simple.sh' and with 'sh -x simple.sh' and verify the error message comes from cal
Other standard variable names include: $HOME, $PATH, $PRINTER. Use echo to examine the values of these variables
