The following table shows age distribution and location of a random sample of 166 buffalo in a national park.

Use a chi-square test to determine if age distribution and location are independent at the 0.05 level of significance.

(a) What is the level of significance?


State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H₀: Age distribution and location are not independent.
H₁: Age distribution and location are independent.

H₀: Age distribution and location are independent.
H₁: Age distribution and location are independent.    

H₀: Age distribution and location are independent.
H₁: Age distribution and location are not independent.

H₀: Age distribution and location are not independent.
H₁: Age distribution and location are not independent.

(b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round the expected frequencies to at least three decimal places. Round the test statistic to three decimal places.)


Are all the expected frequencies greater than 5?

Yes

No    

What sampling distribution will you use?

normal

chi-square    

binomial

uniform

Student's t

What are the degrees of freedom?


(c) Find or estimate the P-value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

p-value > 0.100

0.050 < p-value < 0.100    0.025 < p-value < 0.050

0.010 < p-value < 0.025

0.005 < p-value < 0.010

p-value < 0.005

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence?

Since the P-value > α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Since the P-value > α, we reject the null hypothesis.   

Since the P-value ≤ α, we reject the null hypothesis.

Since the P-value ≤ α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.

At the 5% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that age distribution and location are not independent.

Dolphin Surf & Leisure Holidays Pty Ltd (Dolphin) is a resort company based on the Great Barrier Reef. Its operations include boating, surfing, diving and other leisure activities, a backpackers’ hostel, a family hotel and a five-star resort. Justin and Sarah Morris own the majority of the shares in the Morris Group which controls Dolphin. Justin is the chairman of the board of directors of both Dolphin and the Morris Group, and Sarah is a director of both companies as well as the CFO of Dolphin.

Justin and Sarah have a fairly laid back management style. They trust their workers to work hard for the company and reward them well. The accounts staff, in particular, are very loyal to the company. Justin tells you that some accounts staff enjoy their jobs so much they have never taken any annual leave, and hardly any workers ever take sick leave. Justin and Sarah have not bothered much in the past with formal procedures and policies, but they have requested the accounts staff to start documenting the more common procedures. They do not conduct formal performance reviews; they rely on their staff to tell them when there is a problem.

There are three people currently employed as accounts staff, the most senior of which is Peter Pinn. Peter heads the accounts department and reports directly to Sarah. He is in his fifties and plans to retire in two or three years. Peter prides himself on his ability to delegate most of his work to his two accounts staff, Kristen and Julie. He claims he has to do this because he is very busy developing the policy and procedures manual for the accounting department. The delegated work includes opening mail, processing payments and receipts, banking funds received, performing reconciliations, posting journals and performing the payroll function. Julie is a recent Chartered Accountant graduate. Kristen works part time — coming into the office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Kristen is responsible for posting all journal entries into the accounting system and the payroll function. Julie does the balance of the work, but they often help each other out in busy periods. Kristen authorises Julie’s transactions and Julie returns the favour by authorising Kristen’s transactions. Together, they usually make the accounts balance.

This assessment task aims to develop your ability to apply the first three phases of the clinical reasoning process, at an introductory level, to the patient scenario below. You are a student nurse working with a school nurse (registered nurse) in a secondary school. You and your mentor are supervising a bubble soccer match this afternoon (26th March) which commenced at 1400 hrs. The match goes for 40 minutes with a 5-minute break in between the two halves. It is a hot and sunny day, the air temperature is 32 oC and the humidity is 45%. After the match, your mentor asks you to perform a range of health assessments to make sure the students are fit to go home. Jessie Lin is 16 years old and in Year 11. It is now 1450 hours. You assess Jessie's vital signs and record the following results: Temperature (tympanic) 38.5 oC Pulse rate 140 beats/min Respiratory rate (RR) 29 breaths/min Blood pressure (BP) 130/70 mmHg Jessie has flushed skin (see picture above) and her t-shirt is soaked. Her past medical history has not yet been documented in the school record as she is a new student and only enrolled in the school last week after moving from another state. She informs you that her mother is waiting for her in the car park, but she feels very hot and that her heart feels like it is beating very fast. She asks you for a bottle of cold water and a chair. Jessie's previous observation records (on a clinical chart) are: Date BP Pulse RR Temp 23rd March 2020 110/60 70 14 36.8 24th March 2020 112/60 74 12 36.6

Question:

Propose what further cues you want to collect and explain why these are relevant and important to the situation (approx. 450 words) To do this successfully, you will need to form a logical opinion about what the further cues should be, when you would undertake the assessments to collect these cues (e.g. after some immediate actions for Jessie) and why these cues should be assessed. Relate your justification to Jessie's situation AND to the principles of anatomy and normal physiology (focusing on homeostasis).

Section 17(1)(c) of the Ordinance prohibits deducting expenditure of a capital nature in ascertaining assessable profits for profits tax purposes. In so far as principles in deciding capital expenditure are concerned, the most frequently cited authority is the UK case of British Insulated and Helsby Cables v Atherton in which Lord Cave stated:

But when an expenditure is made, not only once and for all but with a view to bringing into existence an asset or an advantage for the enduring benefit of a trade, I think that is very good reason (in the absence of special circumstances leading to an opposite conclusion) for treating such expenditure as properly attributable, not to revenue, but to capital.

Below are cases where the companies involved suffered losses or incurred certain expenditure:

i      Company A placed the sales proceeds it received from a local customer into a short-term deposit account it maintained with a bank in Hong Kong. The account was in Euros. However, owing to fluctuation in the exchange rate, it suffered an exchange loss when converting the deposit back to Hong Kong dollars.

ii     Company B is operating a car park business. It succeeded in bidding for a five-year lease for a piece of vacant land in the New Territories. The company’s intention was to use the land as a parking lot for container trucks. However, the company later abandoned its plan and the deposit paid to the land owner was forfeited.

iii    Company C is an international medicine manufacturer. One of its chief researchers retired and the company paid him a substantial sum of money for entering into a covenant whereby he agreed not to be involved in any activities which might compete directly or indirectly with the company’s business.

iv    A dye manufacturing business, Company D, paid a fee to an engineering company for installing a dye mixing plant in its factory.

v     Company E is a garment manufacturer. For the purpose of business expansion, it moved into a bigger factory and incurred expenses in dismantling, transporting, and re-erecting of machinery.

vi    Company F, a trading company in Hong Kong, pays a big sum of money to a foreign company for a registered trademark. Company F intends to market the trademark-related products in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Required

Evaluate whether the loss suffered or expenditure incurred by each of the above companies is or is not deductible for profits tax purposes.
