(1 point) It is estimated that approximately 8.1% of Americans
are afflicted with diabetes. Suppose that a certain diagnostic
evaluation for diabetes correctly diagnoses 95% of all adults over
40 with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses
3.5% of all adults over 40 without diabetes as having the
disease.
Use this information and a theoretical group of 10,000 Americans to
construct a table for this testing scenario. Round all answers and
results to four decimal places.
| Test Positive | Test Negative | Total | |
| Have Diabetes | |||
| Do not have Diabetes | |||
| Total | 10,000 |
What percentage of Americans who test positive for diabetes would we expect to actually have the disease? %
What percentage of Americans who test negative for diabetes would we expect to actually have the disease? %
What percentage of Americans who test positive will not have the disease? %

Suppose that people consume only three goods, as shown in this table:
| Tennis Balls | Golf Balls | Bottles of Gatorade | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | |||
| Price | $2 | $4 | $2 |
| Quantity | 100 | 50 | 300 |
| 2018 | |||
| Price | $4 | $5 | $3 |
| Quantity | 100 | 50 | 300 |
Complete the following table by computing the percentage change in price for each of the three goods.
| Tennis Balls | Golf Balls | Bottles of Gatorade | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage Change |
Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is.
True or False: If you were to learn that a bottle of Gatorade increased in size from 2017 to 2018, that information would raise your estimation of the inflation rate.
True
False
True or False: If you were to learn that Gatorade introduced new flavors in 2018, that would imply that the inflation rate you estimated is understated.

QUESTION 6
Consider an economy where banks keep 25% of deposits as reserves. Currency is 50 billion pesos, which constitutes 10% of the monetary base.
(a) Calculate the monetary base.
(b) Calculate the money supply.
(c) If the central bank requires a
reserve-deposit ratio of at least 10%, calculate banks' excess
reserves.
(d) If the currency-deposit ratio increases by 3
percentage points, calculate the resulting money supply assuming
that the monetary base and the reserve-deposit ratio stay the
same.
(e) In answering this question, assume that the
change in the currency-deposit ratio described in (d) never
happened. If the central bank buys 10 billion pesos worth of
securities, calculate the percentage change in the monetary base
and the percentage change in the money supply assuming that the
currency-deposit ratio and the reserve-deposit ratio stay
unchanged.

1) Which of the following analytical procedures would not provide information on a potential misstatement( either understatement or overstatement) of the allowance for uncollectible accounts?
a- compare allowance for uncollectible accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable with previous years
b- compare aging categories as a percentage of accounts receivable with previous years
c- compare current year gross margin percentage with previous year gross margin
d- compare number of days accounts receivable are outstanding with previous years
2) An appropriate response to finding significant exceptions in tests of controls is as follows:
a- decrease reliance on controls and adjust substantive test accordingly
b- Increase tolerable misstatement( and overall materiality) for relevant accounts in the cycle where the controls were found lacking
c- None of the other responses is correct
d- decrease your reliance on substantive testing of accounts in the cycle where the controls were found lacking

Suppose that LMN stock currently is selling at $48 per share.
You buy 400 shares using $14,000 of your own money, borrowing the
remainder of the purchase price from your broker. The rate on the
margin loan is 5%.
a. What is the percentage increase in the net
worth of your brokerage account if the price of LMN
immediately changes to: (i) $51.36; (ii) $48; (iii)
$44.64? What is the relationship between your percentage return and
the percentage change in the price of LMN? (Leave no cells
blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Negative values
should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2
decimal places.)
b. If the maintenance margin is 25%, how low can
LMN's price fall before you get a margin call? (Round your
answer to 2 decimal places.)

The price of Stock C doubles to $60. What is the percentage increase in the market if a S&P 500 type of measure of the market (value-weighted average) is used? c. Repeat question (b) but use a Value Line type of measure of the market (i.e., a geometric average) to determine the percentage increase. d. Suppose the price of stock B doubled instead of stock C. How would the market have fared using the aggregate measures employed in (b) and (c)? Why are your answers different?
