Problem 2
J & J is considering replacing some of their older computers. Give the potential entries given the following scenarios. Assume all scenarios are independent (B is not independent from A) and have commercial substance.

a. Fourteen new computers - $140,000, additional $2,000 for freight and 6% tax on $140,000. Estimated useful life is 5 years with 5% salvage value. They are treated as a single unit for financial reporting purposes. No trade-ins.
b. Ten existing computers will be traded in (total trade-in value $10,000) for the new computers. The computers are treated as a single unit with an original cost of $80,000 and book value of $8,000. The remainder was paid in cash. They are treated as a single unit for financial reporting purposes

c. Ten existing computers will be traded in (total trade-in value $20,000) for the new computers. The computers are treated as a single unit with an original cost of $80,000 and book value of $20,000. The remainder was paid in cash. They are treated as a single unit for financial reporting purposes

Required:
Prepare the potential journal entries for the above events.

Part B is not independent from A. Please show all calculations. Thanks

An article in the journal PLOS ONE describes a study in which the oviposition preferences of Tecia solanivora, the Central American potato tuberworm or Guatemalan potato moth, are compared across different varieties of Solanum tuberosum (potato).

Suppose that Paul, a plant pathologist, collects a sample of 194 potato plants. Paul records the total number of T. solanivora eggs laid on and around each plant. The egg counts are provided in the data file.

CrunchIt!    CSV   Excel   JMP   Mac Text    Minitab   PC Text   R   SPSS   TI Calc  

Let ? be a random variable taking on values equal to the number of eggs laid on or around each plant.

Compute   x¯ , the mean number of eggs laid on or around each plant. Report your answer to at least two decimal places of precision.

x¯=

eggs

Compute  s , the sample standard deviation of the number of eggs laid on or around each plant. Report your answer to at least three decimal places of precision.

s=
