PROBLEM 1 Gomez Corporation, a manufacturer of household paints, is preparing annual financial statements at December 31, 2011. Because of a recently proven health hazard in one of its paints, the government has clearly indicated its intention of having Gomez recall all cans of this paint sold in the last six months. The management of Gomez estimates that this recall would cost $800,000

. Part A - What accounting recognition, if any, should be accorded this situation?

Part B - How would your answer change to Part A if 70% of the paint cans were sold before 12/31/2011 and the remainder were sold after 12/31/2011 but before the financial statements were issued on 3/5/2012?

Part C - How would your answer change to Part A if the health hazard was only alleged (but not yet probable) when the 2011 financial statements were published.

Please Answer the following problem 1 and 2. write clearly.

PROBLEM 1

A 5.96 − kg block is placed against a compress spring on a frictionless 27.0 degrees incline. The spring,

whose force constant is 2.5 N/cm, is compressed 21.3 cm, after which the block is released. How far up

the incline will the block go before coming to rest? Measure the final position of the block with respect

to its position just before being released. Consider two cases:

(a) the block is firmly attached to the spring, and

(b) the block is not attached to the spring and can loosely move up the incline

PROBLEM 2

During a rockslide, a 524 − kg rock slides from the rest down the hill slope that is 488 m long and

292 m high. The speed of the rock when it reaches the bottom of the hill is 62.6 m/s. How much

mechanical energy does the rock lose in the slide due to friction.

Kara is a 14-year-old, 125-pound, high school basketball player. She has been feeling fatigued and sore lately, and has been sick three separate times in the last 3–4 months. Kara typically eats the following on a daily basis:
7 AM: 10–12 oz orange juice (at home before school)
11:30 AM: 2 cups macaroni and cheese, and a small fruit cup (lunch in school cafeteria)
3 PM: granola bar (before basketball practice)
7 PM: 2–3 cups spaghetti with tomato sauce, 1 piece garlic bread, 10 oz skim milk (at home after practice)
10 PM: 2 cups ice cream (bedtime snack)
Why is Kara feeling fatigued, sore and sick? What dietary recommendations would you give to Kara? Please be specific with your recommendation, especially regarding protein intake

The government of Markville started charging an excise tax on gasoline. After one year, it was found that gasoline demand was not different from that before the imposition. The governor of Markville argues that the excise tax has no burden because it showed no change in demand. She also argues that a gas tax can be a relatively efficient way to raise tax revenue. Evaluate her arguments. Note: Let X-axis denote gasoline, and Y-axis denote other goods.

  1. Analyze the argument at an individual level. Draw an indifference curve and income line. Show how the demand was different before the imposition.

   a) Analyze the argument at a market level. Draw a supply and demand curve of gasoline. Feel free to attach your illustration. Show how the demand was not changed by the imposition.

b) What is the magnitude of the deadweight loss? What problems can we expect when the government increases the proportion of excise tax?

1. A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 1.500 s after leaving the slide. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing. The answer is 11.6 m (please explain)

2. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.200. She coasts down a distance of 12.6 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 4.30 mbelow the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands? The answer is 12 m/s. Please explain!

My physics teacher explained the difference between voltage and current using sandwiches. Each person gets a bag full of sandwiches when they pass through the battery. Current = the number of people passing through a particular point per unit time. Voltage = the (change in) number of sandwiches per person. In a parallel circuit the number of people (current) is divided between the two paths, but the number of sandwiches per person (voltage) remains the same. In a series circuit the number of people passing through a particular point remain the same, but they drop off a certain percentage of their sandwiches at every resistor. Therefore, there is a voltage drop that occurs between the points before and after every resistor.

This analogy naturally leads to the question: how do the electrons "know" that they are going to have to share their voltage between two resistors before they reach the second one? (In other words, not drop off all their sandwiches at the first resistor they find)

SHANNON SUPPLIES, INC. Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 ($ in thousands)

Sales revenue $ 3,850

Operating expenses:

Cost of goods sold $ 1,090

Selling and administrative 891

Depreciation 89 2,070

Income before income tax $ 1,780

Income tax expense (445 )

Net income $ 1,335

Shannon’s income tax rate was 25% in 2021 and previous years. During the course of the audit, the following additional information (not considered when the above statements were prepared) was obtained:

a. Shannon’s investment portfolio consists of blue chip stocks held for long-term appreciation. To raise working capital, some of the shares with an original cost of $175,000 were sold in May 2021. Shannon accountants debited cash and credited investment in equity securities for the $210,000 proceeds of the sale.

b. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the remaining equity securities in the investment portfolio was $246,500.

c. The state of Alabama filed suit against Shannon in October 2019, seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief for violations of environmental regulations regulating emissions. Shannon’s legal counsel previously believed that an unfavorable outcome of this litigation was not probable, but based on negotiations with state attorneys in 2021, now believes eventual payment to the state of $125,000 is probable, most likely to be paid in 2024.

d. The $1,010,000 inventory total, which was based on a physical count at December 31, 2021, was priced at cost. Based on your conversations with company accountants, you determined that the inventory cost was overstated by $127,000.

e. Electronic counters costing $110,000 were added to the equipment on December 29, 2020. The cost was charged to repairs.

f. Shannon’s equipment, on which the counters were installed, had a remaining useful life of four years on December 29, 2020, and is being depreciated by the straight-line method for both financial and tax reporting.

g. A new tax law was enacted in 2021 which will cause Shannon’s income tax rate to change from 25% to 20% beginning in 2022.

Required: Prepare journal entries to record the effects on Shannon’s accounting records at December 31, 2021, for each of the items described above. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in whole dollars not in thousands of dollars.)
