An automobile insurance company claimed that, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in less automobile driving, they have reduced the monthly premiums that they charged per automobile by more than $60 per month on average. To test this claim, a random sample of 25 automobile policies were allowed to be looked at. This random sample compared the monthly premiums in June, 2020, with the monthly payment before the pandemic (February, 2020) and it was calculated that the monthly premium in June dropped by an average of $63 and that the standard deviation in this this drop in premiums was calculated to be $10.00. At the .01 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence that the insurance company’s claim is true? In answering this question, complete the following in the spaces provided (including diagrams):

To test this claim, a random sample of 22 automobile policies were allowed to be looked at. This random sample compared the monthly premiums in June, 2020, with the monthly payment before the pandemic (February, 2020) and it was calculated that the monthly premium in June dropped by an average of $44 and that the standard deviation in this this drop in premiums was calculated to be $12.00. At the .05 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence that the insurance company’s claim is false? In answering this question, complete the following in the spaces provided (including diagrams):

Please provide hypothesis, test staistic, decision rule, p-value, and conclusion.

Marin Steel Company, as lessee, signed a lease agreement for equipment for 5 years, beginning December 31, 2020. Annual rental payments of $46,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (December 31). The interest rate used by the lessor in setting the payment schedule is 7%; Marin’s incremental borrowing rate is 9%. Marin is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the end of the lease, Marin has the option to buy the equipment for $5,000, considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years, with no salvage value. Marin uses the straight-line method of depreciation on similar owned equipment. Prepare the journal entries, that Marin should record on December 31, 2020.

Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
  
In 2018, the Westgate Construction Company entered into a contract to construct a road for Santa Clara County for $10,000,000. The road was completed in 2020. Information related to the contract is as follows:

Westgate recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion.

3. Complete the information required below to prepare a partial balance sheet for 2018 and 2019 showing any items related to the contract. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Pina Colada Corporation uses special strapping equipment in its packaging business. The equipment was purchased in January 2019 for $9.60 million and had an estimated useful life of 8 years with no residual value. In early April 2020, a part costing $840,000 and designed to increase the machinery’s efficiency was added. The machine’s estimated useful life did not change with this addition. By December 31, 2020, new technology had been introduced that would speed up the obsolescence of Pina Colada’s equipment. Pina Colada’s controller estimates that expected undiscounted future net cash flows on the equipment would be $6.05 million, and that expected discounted future net cash flows on the equipment would be $5.57 million. Fair value of the equipment at December 31, 2020, was estimated to be $5.38 million. Pina Colada intends to continue using the equipment, but estimates that its remaining useful life is now four years. Pina Colada uses straight-line depreciation. Assume that Pina Colada is a private company that follows ASPE.

Prepare the journal entry to record asset impairment at December 31, 2020, if any.

Fair value of the equipment at December 31, 2021, is estimated to be $5.66 million. Prepare any journal entries for the equipment at December 31, 2021.

Repeat part (b), assuming that on December 31, 2021, Pina Colada's management decides to dispose of the equipment. As at December 31, 2021, the asset is still in use and not ready for sale in its current state. In February 2022, Pina Colada's management will meet to outline an active program to find a buyer.

Repeat part (b), assuming that the equipment is designated as "held for sale" as of January 1, 2021, and that the equipment was not in use in 2021 but was still held by Pina Colada on December 31, 2021.

Repeat parts (a) and (b), assuming instead that Pina Colada is a public company that prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Developing a Promising Manager

Training and development are the second components of the human resource management system and are used to ensure that organizational members develop the skills and abilities that will enable them to perform their jobs effectively in the present and the future. Training and development are ongoing processes because changes in technology and the environment, as well as in an organization's goals and strategies, often require that organizational members learn new techniques, gain new knowledge, and develop new abilities.

In this activity, you will take on the role of Janel, a training and development manager, as she tries to decide on the most appropriate training program for a promising young manager at the hypothetical company, Acme International. Review the training and development section in the text before beginning this activity.

Janel is a training and development specialist at the hypothetical company, Acme International. Acme's organizational goals include continued international expansion and becoming the market leader in their industry for new products. Over the last week, Janel has had several discussions with the West Coast divisional manager about a promising employee, Dena.

Dena earned two bachelor's degrees from a prestigious university five years ago, one in Art and Design and the other in Psychology and Social Behavior. She worked for a marketing firm before joining the West Coast division of Acme International as an assistant manager two years ago. She has impressed her supervisors and moved up steadily in the division. She has shown strong aptitude for leadership and teamwork as well as being a regular contributor of innovative new product and marketing ideas. Although she grew up in New York and attended school in California, her experience with other countries and cultures has been limited to one semester studying in Spain.

The divisional manager initiated the discussions with Janel in order to start mapping out a development plan for Dena. Janel has been reviewing Dena's history and the various development possibilities provided by Acme. Janel's main goal is to prepare Dena to move up in the international product development division. A single developmental program will probably not be enough. What combination of programs will be most effective at filling the gaps in Janel's background and preparing her to manage an international development team?

8.Does Janel need to build a development program for Dena that will provide her with the education necessary to take on new responsibilities and more challenging positions?

A.Yes. Her bachelor’s degrees provide a good foundation, but she’d probably benefit from an MBA.

B.Yes. Her bachelor’s degrees provide a good foundation, but she’d probably benefit from another undergraduate degree in international management.

C. No. Her bachelor’s degrees provide more than enough formal education for direction in which she’s headed.

9.

Dena’s variety of job experiences with Acme and other firms likely has provided her with

A.sufficient technical skill for her advancement with Acme.

B.a chance to broaden her horizons and see the big picture.

C.a background that will help her deal with ethical dilemmas.

10.Dena mostly has worked in line positons. Should Janel rotate her through a staff position?

A.No. The career they envision for her is in line positions.

B.Yes. The career they envision for her is in staff positions.

C.Yes. The career they envision for her requires understanding of all aspects of the organization.

11.If Dena is to be the manager of an international development team, the best thing Janel should try to get Dena is

A.lessons in a foreign language.

B.intensive cross-cultural training.

C.an overseas posting for a few years.
