Norr and Caylor established a partnership on January 1, 2019. Norr invested cash of $100,000 and Caylor invested $30,000 in cash and equipment with a book value of $40,000 and fair value of $50,000. For both partners, the beginning capital balance was to equal the initial investment. Norr and Caylor agreed to the following procedure for sharing profits and losses: 

12% interest on the yearly beginning capital balance 

$10 per hour of work that can be billed to the partnership's clients 

the remainder divided in a 3:2 ratio


The Articles of Partnership specified that each partner should withdraw no more than $1,000 per month, which is accounted as direct reduction of that partner’s capital balance. For 2019, the partnership's income was $70,000. Norr had 1,000 billable hours, and Caylor worked 1,400 billable hours. In 2020, the partnership's income was $24,000, and Norr and Caylor worked 800 and 1,200 billable hours respectively. Each partner withdrew $1,000 per month throughout 2019 and 2020

Determine the amount of net income allocated to each partner for 2019. 

Determine the balance in both capital accounts at the end of 2019. 

Determine the amount of net income allocated to each partner for 2020. (Round all calculations to the nearest whole dollar).

Suppose the first population is all face-to-face meetings held in March 2020, the second population is all Zoom meetings held in March 2020, and the parameter of interest is μ1 – μ2  = the difference in the mean length of all face-to-face meetings and the mean length of all Zoom meetings. The meeting lengths are measured in minutes. For both face-to-face meetings and Zoom meetings the distributions of meeting times are skewed heavily to the right due to some meetings that are very long.

        (a). Of interest is to test the hypothesis that the mean length of all face-to-face meetings and the mean length of all Zoom meetings are the same, versus the alternative hypothesis that the mean length of all face-to-face meetings is less than the mean length of all Zoom meetings. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses that should be tested.

        (b). A simple random sample of 83 face-to-face meetings held in March 2020 was selected, and the mean length of this sample of 83 meetings was 46 minutes with a standard deviation of 13.6 minutes. An independent simple random sample of 81 Zoom meetings held in March 2020 was selected, and the mean length of this sample of 81 meetings was 51 minutes with a standard deviation of 11.6 minutes. If appropriate, use this information to test the hypotheses stated in part (a) at the a = .10 level of significance.
