20-25 2 3 Ballantine Church has been located on a central
downtown street in Toronto for over 120 years. Originally, the
church was in the middle of farmland, but is now surrounded by
high-rise apartments and condominiums. The church has an active
parish community that engages in fundraising in the neighbourhood,
assisting the homeless, and providing drop-in housing during the
winter. Francine, the parish priest, and the church board have
decided it is time to have a review engagement completed for the
church finances. In the past, this work has been done by church
members on a part-time basis.
The church organizes its finances based on five funds: operating,
endowment, youth, homeless, and music scholarship. Any transfers
from the endowment fund to the operating fund must be approved by
the board. The church has about $1.2 million in cash and marketable
securities in the bank. The church is valued at zero on the balance
sheet.
The church also owns a large house. Francine lives in a section of
the house and the rest of the property is used for storage, as
office space for three permanent church staff, and as meeting
space.
Required
a) What should you do before you accept the review
engagement?
b) Outline the process for conducting the review engagement and
describe any analytical review procedures that you would conduct
specific to the church. What type of questions would you ask that
are specific to the church to address plausibility of financial
information?

Jim earned a salary of $60,000 in 2002 and $80,000 in 2007. The consumer price index was 177 in 2002 and 221.25 in 2007. Jim's 2002 salary in 2007 dollars is A. $85,000; thus, Jim's purchasing power decreased between 2002 and 2007. B. $85,000; thus, Jim's purchasing power increased between 2002 and 2007. C. $75,000; thus, Jim's purchasing power increased between 2002 and 2007. D. $75,000; thus, Jim's purchasing power decreased between 2002 and 2007. Assume an economy experienced a positive rate of inflation between 2004 and 2005 and again between 2005 and 2006. However, the inflation rate was lower between 2005 and 2006 than it was between 2004 and 2005. Which of the following scenarios is consistent with this assumption? A. The CPI was 100 in 2004, 105 in 2005, and 130 in 2006. B. The CPI was 100 in 2004, 110 in 2005, and 105 in 2006. C. The CPI was 100 in 2004, 90 in 2005, and 88 in 2006. D. The CPI was 100 in 2004, 120 in 2005, and 135 in 2006. |

1. A local church parish wants to raise money to add to their campus. In a sample from a previous fund raising campaign, the parish found that of the 134 people in the sample they contacted, that 67 actually contributed money. Of those that contributed money, the average contribution was $893 with a standard deviation of $282. In the recent fundraising campaign, a sample of 94 people revealed that 49 have contributed money with an average contribution of $1,180 and a standard deviation of $371. When testing (at the 5% level of significance) whether the proportion of peole who are contributing has increased, what is the test statistic? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
2. The following results are from data concerning the amount withdrawn from an ATM machine based on the amount of time spent at the ATM machine (SECONDS) and the gender, FEMALE (dummy variable = 1 for females and = 0 for males) and an interaction term, SECONDS*FEMALE

ABOUT CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH
Glenda R. is a parish nurse for Holy Cross Catholic Church. The church’s youth group teacher has overheard several of the 13- and 14-year-old teenagers talking about dating and sexual behaviors. The youth group teacher invites the parish nurse to speak to the group about sex and abstinence. Nurse Glenda sends letters to the parents describing when she will speak to the group about these topics and what will be discussed. Parents who would like their child to attend this class are asked to fill out the permission form.
On the night of the class, 18 of the 20 youth group members arrive for the class with their consent forms in hand. The room is set up with chairs in a circle and a computer with projector next to Nurse Glenda’s chair. Using pictures on the computer, Nurse Glenda illustrates the basic anatomy of the reproductive system and discusses what should be expected during puberty. Most of the class time is then spent discussing reasons for abstinence, how to know when you are ready for sex, and how to say no if you are not.
Questions
1. 1. Which teaching intervention designed to gather questions and feedback about the lesson would be most effective for this age group?
A. A confidential question box passed around for students to submit any questions they have about sex. Each student is asked to write something on a piece of paper, even if it is not a question or a comment, and to place it inside the box. Nurse Glenda reviews the papers and answers questions at the end of the class.
B. An open forum where students raise their hands and ask questions. Nurse Glenda responds appropriately.
C. A survey completed at the end of the class that students give to Nurse Glenda as they leave.
2. After the class has been given, Nurse Glenda talks to the parents and the church’s religious education teacher. Nurse Glenda believes that she can do more with this age group and would like to offer her services to them. She suggests that an evening of preventive screenings should be offered. What should Nurse Glenda screen for in this group of teenagers?
3. How can Nurse Glenda use interactive health communication (IHC) to reinforce the lesson?

Question 2: Use Data2 Sheet
2a. Conduct a 2-level sort: on Fiscal Year (Largest to Smallest) and then on Company code (Z to A).
Report company code and year of 5th record (do not count the header of the table).
In Answer Sheet, put Company code and year continuously like: K2002
2b. For each company, calculate the annual sales growth. Report the company code and year of the 8th Highest growth number.
Annual sales growth = Sale year (i)/Sale year (i-1) -1
In Answer Sheet, put Company code and year continuously like: K2002
2c. For each year, if you want to find a firm with the smallest Sales, how will you sort the data so that you can systematically identify these records? (this sort answers a question such as: in 2002, which firm has the lowest sales number?)
Sort first by:
