Shamrock Corporation was formed 5 years ago through a public subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the common stock, was one of the organizers of Shamrock and is its current president. The company has been successful, but it currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2021, Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a 24-month extension on two $35,170 notes, which are due on June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. Another note of $6,020 is due on March 31, 2022, but he expects no difficulty in paying this note on its due date. Brown explained that Shamrock’s cash flow problems are due primarily to the company’s desire to finance a $300,530 plant expansion over the next 2 fiscal years through internally generated funds.

The commercial loan officer of Topeka National Bank requested the following financial reports for the last 2 fiscal years.

Please write a java program that has the following methods in it: (preferably in order)  

  1. a method to read in the name of a University and pass it back
  2. a method to read in the number of students enrolled and pass it back
  3. a method to calculate the tuition as 20000 times the number of students and pass it back
  4. a method print the name of the University, the number of students enrolled, and the total tuition

Design Notes:

  • The method described in Item #1 above will read in a string and pass it back to the main program. Nothing is passed to the method, but the University name is passed back
  • The method described in Item #2 above will read in an integer for the number of students enrolled and pass it back to the main program. Nothing is passed to the method, but the University name is passed back to the main program
  • The method described in Item #3 above will receive the number of students. It will then do the calculation for the tuition and pass back that value, which is a double value to the main program
  • The method described in Item #4 above will receive all data for printing and pass nothing back to the main program

Please copy the java code along with a screen print (snippet) of the final output. I would like both to review the work that I already have done. Thanks in advance!

Female athletes at the University of Colorado, Boulder, have a long-term graduation rate of 67% (Source: Chronicle of Higher Education). Over the past several years, a random sample of 38 female athletes at the school showed that 21 eventually graduated. Does this indicate that the population proportion of female athletes who graduate from the University of Colorado, Boulder, is now less than 67% ? Use a 5% level of significance.

a) Which distribution applies: the Standard Normal or the t distribution? Why?

b) What is the value of the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Is it a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?

c) Compute the value of the sample test statistic (either t* or z*).

d) Find the critical value(s). Sketch the sampling distribution and show the critical value(s) and region(s).

e) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (d), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the given level of significance?

f) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

Blue Department Store converted from the conventional retail method to the LIFO retail method on January...

Blue Department Store converted from the conventional retail method to the LIFO retail method on January 1, 2020, and is now considering converting to the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. During your examination of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, management requested that you furnish a summary showing certain computations of inventory cost for the past 3 years.

Here is the available information.

1. The inventory at January 1, 2019, had a retail value of $55,800 and cost of $30,400 based on the conventional retail method.
2. Transactions during 2019 were as follows.

Cost

Retail

Purchases $346,890 $562,800
Purchase returns 5,100 10,000
Purchase discounts 5,900
Gross sales revenue (after employee discounts) 557,800
Sales returns 9,000
Employee discounts 3,100
Freight-in 17,400
Net markups 20,400
Net markdowns 11,800
3. The retail value of the December 31, 2020, inventory was $74,700, the cost ratio for 2020 under the LIFO retail method was 66%, and the regional price index was 106% of the January 1, 2020, price level.
4. The retail value of the December 31, 2021, inventory was $63,400, the cost ratio for 2021 under the LIFO retail method was 65%, and the regional price index was 109% of the January 1, 2020, price level.

Compute the cost of inventory on hand at December 31, 2019, based on the conventional retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987)

Cost of inventory on hand

$

  

  

Compute the inventory to be reported on December 31, 2019, in accordance with procedures necessary to convert from the conventional retail method to the LIFO retail method beginning January 1, 2020. Assume that the retail value of the December 31, 2019, inventory was $60,900. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.72% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

The inventory to be reported on December 31, 2011

Without prejudice to your solution to part (b), assume that you computed the December 31, 2019, inventory (retail value $60,900) under the LIFO retail method at a cost of $36,845. Compute the cost of the store’s 2020 and 2021 year-end inventories under the dollar-value LIFO method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.72% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)
