She has asked you to review the trial balance and the additional information and prepare any adjusting journal entries you believe are necessary to ensure the accounts are complete and accurate in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Place your responses together with supporting calculations in the table provided. Explanations are not required.

1) The computer equipment is in excellent shape. It was purchased on July 1, 2019 and is expected to have a useful life of 4 years at which time it is expected to be sold for $4,000.

2) On February 1, 2020, Centre received and recorded in Revenue Earned a $20,000 cash advance from the Richmond School Board. The payment covers marathon training for the eight-month period starting July 1, 2020.

3) Each of Centre’s employees is paid $1,500 every two weeks – i.e.10 days of work. The six employees did not receive a pay cheque for the last seven working days of October 2020, as the bookkeeper was ill. The amounts were both recorded and paid upon her return on November 4, 2020.

  1. Centre’s sales invoices for the last two weeks of October 2020 have not been prepared nor recorded. You estimate that $14,500 of services rendered during that period has not been recorded or billed to customers.

  1. An inventory count completed at October 31, 2020 revealed inventory of $44,700.

6) On January 1, 2020 Centre purchased a two-year liability insurance policy for $4,800.

7) A letter from Centre’s landlord dated October 25, 2020 demands a total of $18,000 to be paid to cover the rent for the months of September to November 2020 inclusive. Centre’s monthly rent expense has been constant for the past three years.

8) Supplies on hand at October 31, 2020 are estimated at $3,500.

True

False

In general, women's clothing items (e.g., running shoes) have higher prices than comparable products designed for men due to price discrimination. How do the clothing sellers prevent resale in these markets?

A.

State consumer protection laws prohibit selling goods intended for one group to members of the other group

B.

The retailers are prohibited from selling products intended for one group to members of the other group

C.

The clothing products are differentiated by styling or design features

D.

Price discrimination is not possible in clothing markets

Which of the following claims is NOT true?

A.

Bundling is profitable if the willingness to pay for the bundle is more homogeneous than the willingness to pay for the bundle components

B.

Price discrimination is feasible if the costs of arbitrage exceed the difference in prices charged to the different customers

C.

Volume discounts are not a form of price discrimination

D.

If arbitrage between customers is possible, the seller should offer uniform prices

A consumer product testing organization uses a survey of readers to obtain customer satisfaction ratings for the nation's largest supermarkets. Each survey respondent is asked to rate a specified supermarket based on a variety of factors such as: quality of products, selection, value, checkout efficiency, service, and store layout. An overall satisfaction score summarizes the rating for each respondent with 100 meaning the respondent is completely satisfied in terms of all factors. Suppose sample data representative of independent samples of two supermarkets' customers are shown below.

Supermarket 1 Supermarket 2

n1 = 280

n2 = 300

x1 = 83

x2 = 82

(a)

Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses to test whether there is a difference between the population mean customer satisfaction scores for the two retailers. (Let μ1 = the population mean satisfaction score for Supermarket 1's customers, and let μ2 = the population mean satisfaction score for Supermarket 2's customers. Enter != for ≠ as needed.)
