  1. [7 marks]

    1. (a) Public health authorities want to estimate the proportion of Australians aged 18-65 who caught the flu during winter 2018. If the true proportion is thought to be about 24%, how large a sample will be needed if we want to be 95% sure that our estimate will be within 0.02 of the true value? [3]

    2. (b) Due to a change in the available funding, the sample actually used for estimating the prevalence of flu included 1,712 randomly-selected Australians aged 18-65. Of these, 367 reported having a “flu-like illness” during winter 2018. Use these data to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Australians aged 18-65 who had a flu-like illness during winter 2018. [4]

Alex, Inc., buys 40 percent of Steinbart Company on January 1, 2017, for $530,000. The equity method of accounting is to be used. Steinbart's net assets on that date were $1.2 million.

Amount Held by Alex
at Year-End
(at Transfer Price)
2017 $70,000 $100,000 $25,000
2018 96,000 150,000

45,000

Inventory held at the end of one year by Alex is sold at the beginning of the next.

Steinbart reports net income of $80,000 in 2017 and $110,000 in 2018 and declares $30,000 in dividends each year. What is the equity income in Steinbart to be reported by Alex in 2018?
