Brandlin Company of Anaheim, California, sells parts to a foreign customer on December 1, 2015, with payment of 27,000 korunas to be received on March 1, 2016. Brandlin enters into a forward contract on December 1, 2015, to sell 27,000 korunas on March 1, 2016. Relevant exchange rates for the koruna on various dates are as follows:


  Date Spot Rate Forward Rate
(to March 1, 2016)
  December 1, 2015 $ 3.80     $ 3.875       
  December 31, 2015 3.90     4.000       
  March 1, 2016 4.05     N/A       


Brandlin’s incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent. The present value factor for two months at an annual interest rate of 12 percent (1 percent per month) is 0.9803. Brandlin must close its books and prepare financial statements at December 31.


a-1.

Assuming that Brandlin designates the forward contract as a cash flow hedge of a foreign currency receivable and recognizes any premium or discount using the straight-line method, prepare journal entries for these transactions in U.S. dollars. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

It has been speculated that gravity does not truly exist as a force in itself, but is instead a manifestation of the electrostatic force, which is the force responsible for the repulsion of like-charges and the attraction of opposite charges. Do you believe this is a credible theory? Why or why not. What experiment could you devise to test this theory?

In one experiment, Marie Curie dissolved 0.09284 g of RaCl2 and treated it with excess AgNO3 to precipitate 0.08979 g of AgCl. In her time (1900), the atomic mass of Ag was known to be 107.8 and that of Cl was 35.4. From these values, find the atomic mass of Ra that Marie Curie would have calculated.
