You are interested in whether people who exercise while tired feel better about their bodies than people who exercise while not tired. You also measure the body image evaluations of non-exercises (separately for tired vs. not tired participants). You do not think that non-exercisers differ in the perceived positivity of their body image depending on whether they are tired or not. You also think that exercisers may have better body images than non-exercisers. You are able to make up your own data for this problem.

1. What kind of design would you use to analyze your data for the above example? (Use the correct notation).
2. Draw the predictions outlined above, using a bar graph. Label all variables and levels.
3. Use the names of the variables from this example to explain what the main effect is. What are your predictions for each of the main effects?
4. Use the names of the variables from this example to explain what an interaction is. What is your prediction for the interaction?

Dakota, a single taxpayer, is contemplating making a charitable contribution of $20,000 to either a public charity or a private non-operating foundation in 20x1. Dakota is subject to a flat income tax rate of 32% in 20x1 and 35% in 20x2. Dakota's AGI is $50,000 each year, and Dakota also pays $8,000 in mortgage interest intense (mortgage loan is for $400,000) annually. Assume his standard deduction is $12,200 in 20x1 and 20x2, and he has no other itemized deductions in either year. Use a 10% interest rate for your PV calculations.

a. What is the PV of Dakota's total tax liability for both years if he donates to the public charity?

b. What is the PV of Dakota's total tax liability for both years if he donates to the private non-operating foundation?

c. Should Dakota make the donation to the public charity or the private non-operating foundation?

Hint: for this problem, you have to compute the taxable liability for both years (20x1 and 20x2) under both scenarios.

3. Are the following languages A and B over the alphabet Σ = {a, b, c, d} regular or nonregular? • For a language that is regular, give a regular expression that defines it. • For a nonregular language, using the pumping lemma prove that it is not regular. (a) A = {d 2j+1c k+1 | j ≥ k ≥ 0} · {c r+2b 2s+3 | r ≥ 0 and s ≥ 0} (b) B = {a 2j+2b k+3c j+1 | j ≥ 1 and k ≥ 1} · {d m+3 | m ≥ 0} Above “·” stands for language concatenation. Hints: The languages A and B are each expressed as concatenation of two components. If one (or both) of the components is non-regular, this does not imply anything about the non-regularity of the concatenation. If trying to show that a language C is non-regular, we have to apply the pumping lemma to the entire language C (and not to the individual components of the concatenation). On the other hand, if trying to show that C is regular, we can find regular expressions for the two components separately and then use the concatenation operation.

create a java class with name ModernArt:

For the first part of the assignment, you will be extending the JApplet class and creating a work of modern using the Graphics class to draw various shapes to the applet window. As part of your masterpiece, you should incorporate the following elements:

• At least 1 non-solid rectangle
• At least 1 non-solid oval
• At least 1 solid oval
• At least 1 non-solid Polygon
• At least 1 solid Polygon
• At least 3 lines
• At least 3 different colors
• A caption (a text String) displayed somewhere on your work of art

You may use more elements than the minimal requirements above, but you must use at least that many. There are unit tests for this question that will determine if you have correctly included the required shapes and colors, but there are no tests to judge your work itself as it is not possible to write unit tests which measure the sheer lack of sophistication typically embodied by so much of modern art.

Businesses should ensure they price their goods and services reasonably to retain competitive advantage. An accurate method of costing is important as it can assist a business to determine a fair price for their final product.

With the above in mind, the CEO of GoGo Airlines has provided you with the following information:

Total Overheads = £200,000

Total Machine Hours = 100,000

You are required to calculate the unit costs of the vegan and non-vegan meals using:

• Traditional costing using machine hours as the basis of allocation of costs and
• ABC system

Henry told us in his guide to the Institutional Framework of Taxation in Australia that the Australian Taxation System is one of the most complex in the world and is made up of approximately 125 taxes including taxes such as Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Fringe Benefits Tax and Goods and Services Tax just to name a few. He also mentioned that there are many different organisations that play different and varied roles within this system to ensure its integrity and all Australians are equally treated with equity. The Australian Taxation System is embedded in the way of life for all Australian taxpayers, we pay tax on our income, we pay tax when we purchase goods and use services, we pay tax when we sell assets and this is just to name a few but in return the Government provides services and benefits e.g. hospitals, schools, defence, and financial assistance to those in need etc. As we know the government relies very heavily on the revenue from taxation to be able to finance its activities and services it offers to the public and reforms and reviews on taxation are often a focus of governments. There has been a lot of media attention lately on the extraordinary powers that the Commissioner of Taxation and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has and to whether they are in some way abusing that power in their dealings with small business taxpayers and individuals. There has been a call for an inquiry into the ATO resulting from a number of complaints by taxpayers. The ABC 4Corners programme also released a documentary on this topic in April 2018 and it would be advisable for you to view this as part of your research into the topic

This assessment requires you to review this topical area of taxation (Australian Taxation Office, their powers and are they abusing them) which has been playing out in the media for a number of months now as per Part 1 and Part 2 below.

Part One

Review Australian newspapers such as the West Australian, Financial Review, The Australian, Sunday Times and various others for articles on the area mentioned above. You need to find 10 newspaper articles (these may also be online articles) which will be handed in with your assignment. The articles should be from 2017 or 2018 only. If you do not have access to Australian Newspapers then you may use the Factiva Database within the Curtin Library. A factsheet on how to use this database and a short video presentation is included in the assessment link for this assignment on the Blackboard. These newspaper articles must be scanned or saved as PDF files and uploaded to the Blackboard in the appropriate area within the assessment tab. Please Note we will not accept links to the articles.

Part Two

After reading newspapers and journal articles and using wider research platforms such as the Taxation Administration Act 1953, Australian Taxation Office webpage, journal articles etc on the subject of Powers of the ATO and the perceived abuse of those powers you should be able to form an opinion to whether the ATO in your view are abusing their powers in relation to small businesses and individual taxpayers.

For this area of the assessment you need to explain

a)    What are the ATO powers and where do they come from?

b)    How is the Government dealing with the issues that have arisen from the recent media backlash on the perceived abuse of powers by the ATO?

c)    What is the ATO doing going forward to ensure that they have the Australian public’s confidence again?

d)   What is your opinion on the issue, do you think the ATO are just doing their job and should use whatever power they have at their disposal to collect revenue which is their main job for the Government. Or are you of the opinion that they have too much power and it should be diluted. Do you consider their actions to be abusive? This area is based about your opinion so you need to ensure that you give us your own personal views of the topic and not a summary of the articles you have collected in part one of the assessment task.

The requirements of the assignment for part two is to produce a 1500 word essay on your opinion of this topic which should be based on your findings from the Australian newspapers you have collected and any other research you may want to undertake, please do not just provide a detailed summary of the articles you have included in Part 1

The word limit does not take into account the cover page or references and we will allow an excess of 10%.

You must reference the essay using AGLC3 and a bibliography at the end indicating materials read/used is also required.
