Sheridan Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2020 of $804,900. Additional transactions occurring in 2020 but not considered in the $804,900 are as follows.

Prepare an income statement for the year 2020 starting with income from continuing operations before taxes. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. Common shares outstanding for the year are 108,490 shares. (Assume a tax rate of 30% on all items, unless indicated otherwise.) (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.48 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Please answer ALL of the following questions!

1. Suppose China is rich in unskilled labor relatively to Japan. Then, according to the Heckscher=Ohlin model, China tends to export (a. high-tech goods/ b. low-tech goods) to Japan and a trade with China benefits (a. unskilled labor/ b. skilled labor/ c. capital owner) of Japan.

2. Wage rates across countries tend (a. to be equalized only if/ b. to be equalized whether or not) trade barriers and technology gaps are absent. When Japan imports low-technology goods and export high-technology goods, a rise in the relative price of imports of Japan tends to (a. increase/ b. decrease/ c. not affect) its skilled-labor wage/ unskilled-labor wage ratio and (a. increase/ b. decrease/ c. not affect) its welfare.

3. The Leontief Paradox comes from the fact that the US exported (a. capital/ b. labor/ c. technology) intensive goods. The paradox can be explained by (a. complete specialization/ b. productivity difference/ c. no output price convergence).

4. If China’s growth worsens her terms of trade, it will (a. always hurt/ b. sometimes hurt/ c. always benefit) her trading partners, and will (a. always hurt/ b. sometimes hurt/ c. always benefit) herself.

5. Since the welfare effects of import tariffs and export subsidies are clear cut, home country’s tariffs should be (a. always welcome/ b. sometimes welcome/ c. never welcome) to home citizens rather than its export subsidies, which is (a. always welcome/ b. sometimes welcome/ c. never welcome) to foreign citizens.

　Foreign aid (a. increases/ b. reduces) its donor country’s purchasing power and leads to a (a. rise/ b. decline) of her export goods price, if the country is (a. large/ b. small) and has a home bias for the export goods. On the other hand, if foreign aid decreases a recipient country’s export price, it (a. always hurt/ b. sometimes hurt/ c. always benefit) the country.

Purchasing a car is a difficult decision. Car prices are a function of many variables such as mileage, age, foreign or domestic manufacture and engine technology utilized. Develop and run the following multiple regression model:

1. Interpret the beta coefficient (slope)s of all slopes: mileage, age, dummy engine and dummy foreign
2. Interpret R squared value of the model and root mean squared error (RMSE)
3. Would mileage and age influence your decision based on the statistical output for this sample data?
4. Would the price of a car be raised if a car were of foreign make and used V6 engine technology?

What will the expected price of a car be in the lemon market if the age of a car was 8 years, with 9,000 miles on it, is of foreign make and with V6 engine?

Last week, a small company based in Texas won its patent infringement lawsuit against Nintendo of America. The jury awarded iLife Technologies $10 million in damages when it decided that Nintendo's Wii controllers infringe on iLife's six patents on motion-sensing technology. iLife filed the federal patent lawsuit against Nintendo in 2013, asking for $144 million. The suit stated that Nintendo's Wii and Wii U controllers use accelerometers to track how a player is moving their hands relative to their environment, which is a system iLife says it invented and patented for use in medical monitors that would automatically call an ambulance if an elderly person fell or if a baby was at risk of dying from sudden infant death syndrome. Nintendo, in a statement during the court proceeding, said the patent was not written correctly to cover the way the company used motion-sensing technology in its controllers. In a statement to the BBC, the company said it would appeal the judgment. "Nintendo disagrees with the decision, as Nintendo does not infringe iLife's patent and the patent is invalid," Nintendo said in a statement. "Nintendo looks forward to raising those issues with the district court and with the court of appeals." iLife's lawsuit sought a $4 royalty on each Wii console sold in the six years before iLife launched legal action, totaling 36 million units. iLife also sued Fitbit and Under Armour in similar lawsuits, both of which were dismissed and settled out of court, according to court filings. Back in 2013, an attorney for iLife's CEO Michael Lehrman denounced claims that Lehrman was a "patent troll." "iLife and its CEO Michael Lehrman are the original inventors of this technology, and the company does not enforce any patents that it did not develop," Wallace Dunwoody, an attorney and partner at Munck Wilson Mandala, told the Dallas Observer. "Unlike so-called patent trolls, iLife also has a history of developing and bringing to market products using their technology." PUBLISHED ON: SEP 5, 2017

give me a summary to this article

I'm being ask to design an experiment about enzymes. I'm not sure about how to do that.

To test for the presence of monosaccharides and reducing disaccharide sugars in food, the food sample is dissolved in water, and a small amount of Benedict's reagent is added. The solution should progress in the colors of blue (with no glucose present), green, yellow, orange, red, and then brick red when there is a large amount of glucose present.

Design an experiment where you would determine how quickly Lactaid works to break down milk sugar at different temperatures and pH. Be specific in your description and create illustrations.

answer the questions below

a. What are enzymes?

b. How do enzymes work?

c. What is lactase?

d. What is Lactaid?

e. What is lactose intolerance?

2. Write down how you will perform these experiments? There are two experiments. (1) How does temperature influence Lactaid’s ability to break down lactose (2) How does pH influence Lactaid’s ability to break down lactose? Include illustrations and be very specific and elaborate on why you are doing 3. Write down what you think will happen in each experiment.

Thank you.

1. Blue Spruce Corp. purchased a new machine on October 1, 2019, at a cost of $134,000. The company estimated that the machine will have a salvage value of $20,000. The machine is expected to be used for 10,000 working hours during its 5-year life.

Compute the depreciation expense under straight-line method for 2019. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125.)

2. Yello Bus Lines uses the units-of-activity method in depreciating its buses. One bus was purchased on January 1, 2019, at a cost of $227,125. Over its 4-year useful life, the bus is expected to be driven 132,500 miles. Salvage value is expected to be $8,500.

Compute the depreciable cost per unit. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.)

Depreciation cost per unit:        per mile

3. In recent years, Sheffield Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is shown as follows.

For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 124,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were 2018, 26,000; 2019, 31,500; and 2020, 29,500.

For Bus #3, calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.50.)

Journalize the above transactions. The company uses straight-line depreciation for buildings and equipment. The buildings are estimated to have a 50-year life and no salvage value. The equipment is estimated to have a 10-year useful life and no salvage value. Update depreciation on assets disposed of at the time of sale or retirement. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

This maze project assumes that a cell is rectangular, and that there is an entrance into and an exit from the cell.  What if the entrance and the exit were closed doors and the user was to choose which door leads to the next cell?  What would be some pseudocode for this scenario?

Notice that " switch case " statements are used for this project along with " if " statements.  Can they be interchanged and still produce the same results [ i.e., make the switch case statements into if statements, and the if statements into switch case statements ] ? Support your answer!

Williams-Santana, Inc., is a manufacturer of high-tech industrial parts that was started in 2009 by two talented engineers with little business training. In 2021, the company was acquired by one of its major customers. As part of an internal audit, the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2021 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. The income tax rate is 25% for all years.

1. A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2019 for $35,000. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time.
2. Effective January 1, 2021, the company changed the salvage value used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $600,000 on December 29, 2010, and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $100,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $25,000.
3. On December 31, 2020, merchandise inventory was overstated by $25,000 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system.
4. The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2021 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $960,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2022.
5. At the end of 2020, the company failed to accrue $16,400 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2020. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2021.
6. At the beginning of 2019, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $720,000. Its useful life was estimated to be ten years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2020, was $460,800. On January 1, 2021, the company changed to the straight-line method.
7. Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.75% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2021. Credit sales for 2021 are $4,000,000; in 2020 they were $3,700,000.

Required:
For each situation:
1. Identify whether it represents an accounting change or an error. If an accounting change, identify the type of change. For accounting errors, choose "Not applicable".
2. Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction, as well as any adjusting entry for 2021 related to the situation described. Any tax effects should be adjusted for through Income tax payable or Refund—income tax.

Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction, as well as any adjusting entry for 2021 related to the situation described. Any tax effects should be adjusted for through Income tax payable or Refund—income tax. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
