Founding fathers and international mergers of Big Four audit firms.

In 1990 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu was created following a number of earlier mergers. In 2003 the names of Touche and Tohmatsu were dropped, leaving Deloitte as the firm’s full name. Deloitte was established by three founders: William Welch Deloitte, George Touche and Admiral Nobuzo Tohmatsu.

In 1845, at the age of 25, W.W. Deloitte opened his own office opposite the Bankruptcy Court in Basinghall Street, London. At that time three Companies Acts created joint-stock companies, laying the foundation for modern company structures. Deloitte made his name with the industry of the day – the railways – and in 1849 the Great Western Railway appointed Deloitte the first independent auditor in that industry. He discovered frauds on the Great North Railway, invented a system for railway accounts that protected investors from mismanagement of funds, and was to become the grand old man of the profession. As president of the newly created Institute of Chartered Accountants, Deloitte found a site for its headquarters in 1888. In 1893 he opened offices in the USA.

Financial disasters in the new and booming investment trust business in the England gave George Touche his business opportunity. His reputation for flair, integrity, and expertise brought him a huge amount of work setting these trusts on the straight and narrow. A similar flair for saving doomed businesses from disaster and restructuring them led to the formation of George A. Touche & Co. in 1899. In 1900, along with John Niven, the son of his original Edinburgh accounting mentor, Touche set up the firm of Touche, Niven & Co. in New York. Offices spread across the USA and Canada and were soon attracting clients like R.H. Macy, a large US nationwide department store. In the UK, General Electric Company was an important client and still is. Meanwhile Touche himself took his reputation for probity and ran for public election in England and became MP for North Islington, England in 1910, and was knighted in 1917. He died in 1935.

After Tohmatsu qualified as a certified public accountant at the age of 57 in 1952, he became a partner in a foreign-affiliated accounting firm and a director of a private corporation. In 1967, he became president of the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In the 1960s, the Japanese government wanted to see national audit corporations established, and Tohmatsu asked Iwao Tomita, a former student and a graduate of the Wharton School in Chicago, to respond to that challenge. In May of 1968, Tohmatsu & Co. (formerly Tohmatsu Awoki & Co.) was incorporated.

Assuming interest rates are positive, a dollar that is available today is worth more than a dollar in the future.

Assuming interest rates are positive, a dollar that is available today is worth more than a dollar in the future. Current dollars can be converted into future dollars by compounding, and future dollars can be transformed into current dollar equivalents by discounting.

     Part I. At the beginning of your third year of college you realize that you will need to borrow $10,000 to finance the remainder of your educational expenses. You approach your bank and find out you can borrow the $10,000 at 12-percent interest, but you do not have to start repaying the loan until you graduate in two years. However, the loan will accumulate the interest payments compounded annually at 12-percent per year during the two years you are still in school, and you will repay in equal annual payments over twenty years (a 20-year amortization). What will your annual payments be over the twenty years you are repaying the loan? What is the present value (using an interest rate of 12-percent) of the repayment schedule at the time you borrow the $10,000? Carefully show and explain your calculations.

     Part II. Just before you borrow the $10,000 from your bank you discover that you can obtain the same amount through a federal student loan program at an interest rate of 5-percent. If you borrow through the terms of this program you would repay the loan over 20 years in equal annual payments once you graduate and there will be no accumulation of interest during the two years you will still be in school. What will your annual payments be under this 5-percent loan? At the 12-percent market rate you face, what is the present value of the repayments on this federal student loan? Finally, what is the present value amount of the subsidy under the federal student loan relative to the private bank loan? Carefully show and explain your calculations.

Suppose that you plan to borrow $15,000 student loans to attend a university. You are considering borrowing the loan from XYZ. XYZ offers two options for the repayment of your loan. One is the deferred repayment option and the other is interest repayment option. The APR for the deferred repayment option is 3.75% and the APR for the interest repayment option is 3.15%. You plan to finish your undergraduate study in university within five years. The two repayment options are described as below:Deferred repayment option: You make no scheduled student loan payments for 5 years while you are in school and in 1 year of the grace period after you graduate. However, the unpaid interest every month will be added to your principal amount at the end of your grace period. After the grace period, the total amount your will pay will be equal to the principal you borrow and the accumulated unpaid interest. Each month you will be required to pay the same amount, which includes interest and the required principal repayment. You are required to completely pay off your loan within 10 years. Interest repayment option: You pay interest every month when you are in school and in grace period. After the grace period, you will start to pay the principal of the loan. Each month you will be required to pay the same amount, which includes interest and the required principal repayment. You are required to completely pay off your loan within 10 years.

1. Please use Excel to work on the following questions:

1) Set up the loan amortization tables for the loans with these two different repayment options, respectively.

2) How much interest will you pay in total when you pay off your loan offered by these two different repayment options, respectively?

3) How much will you pay in total, including interest and principal, for these two different repayment options, respectively?

  1. A research study examined the blood vitamin D levels of the entire US population of landscape gardeners. The population average level of vitamin D in US landscapers was found to be 45.29 ng/mL with a standard deviation of 4.701 ng/mL. Assuming the true distribution of blood vitamin D levels follows a Gaussian distribution, if you randomly select a landscaper in the US, what is the likelihood that his/her vitamin D level will be between 57.21 and 60.85 ng/mL?

  1. Suppose at random 30% of school children develop nausea and vomiting following holiday parties and that you conduct a study to examine this phenomenon, with a sample size of n=43. What is the probability that 31 or more children become sick?
  2. A research study examined the blood vitamin D levels of the entire US population of landscape gardeners. The population average level of vitamin D in US landscapers was found to be 54.66 ng/mL with a standard deviation of 5.638 ng/mL. Assuming the true distribution of blood vitamin D levels follows a Gaussian distribution, what is the lower value of the region for which approximately 68% of the data are located within the distribution? Recall the 68-95-99.9% observation discussed in the "Normal Distribution" section of the textbook that is helpful in answering the question.
  3. Suppose at random 30% of school children develop nausea and vomiting following holiday parties and that you conduct a study to examine this phenomenon, with a sample size of n=28. What is the probability that between 13 or more and less than 24 children become sick?

  4. A research study examined the blood vitamin D levels of the entire US population of landscape gardeners. The population average level of vitamin D in US landscapers was found to be 35.18 ng/mL with a standard deviation of 5.744 ng/mL. Assuming the true distribution of blood vitamin D levels follows a Gaussian distribution, if you randomly select a landscaper in the US, what is the probability that his/her vitamin D level will be between 21.89 and 49.69 ng/mL?

Can you please answer the question

Education reform is one of the most hotly debated subjects on both state and national policy makers’ list of socioeconomic topics. Consider a linear regression model that relates school expenditures and family background to student performance in Massachusetts using 224 school districts. The response variable is the mean score on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exam given in May 1998 to 10th graders. Four explanatory variables are used: (1) STR is the student-to-teacher ratio in %, (2) TSAL is the average teacher’s salary in $1,000s, (3) INC is the median household income in $1,000s, and (4) SGL is the percentage of single-parent households. A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table.

SCORE STR TSAL INC SGL
227.00 19.00 44.01 48.89 4.70
230.67 17.90 40.17 43.91 4.60
