1. A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 1.8rev/s . The wheel can be considered a uniform disk of mass 5.0kg and diameter 0.30m . The potter then throws a 3.2-kg chunk of clay, approximately shaped as a flat disk of radius 8.0cm , onto the center of the rotating wheel.

What is the frequency of the wheel after the clay sticks to it? Ignore friction.

Express your answer using two significant figures.

The Holtz Corporation acquired 80 percent of the 100,000 outstanding voting shares of Devine, Inc., for $6.70 per share on January 1, 2017. The remaining 20 percent of Devine’s shares also traded actively at $6.70 per share before and after Holtz’s acquisition. An appraisal made on that date determined that all book values appropriately reflected the fair values of Devine’s underlying accounts except that a building with a 5-year future life was undervalued by $57,000 and a fully amortized trademark with an estimated 10-year remaining life had a $69,000 fair value. At the acquisition date, Devine reported common stock of $100,000 and a retained earnings balance of $224,000.

Following are the separate financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018:

Holtz

At year-end, there were no intra-entity receivables or payables.

  1. Prepare a worksheet to consolidate these two companies as of December 31, 2018.

  2. Prepare a 2018 consolidated income statement for Holtz and Devine.

  3. If instead the noncontrolling interest shares of Devine had traded for $4.50 surrounding Holtz’s acquisition date, what is the impact on goodwill?

On January 4, 2018, Runyan Bakery paid $324 million for 10 million shares of Lavery Labeling Company common stock. The investment represents a 30% interest in the net assets of Lavery and gave Runyan the ability to excercise significant influence over Lavery's operations. Runyan chose the fair value option to account for this investment. Runyan received dividends of $2.00 per share on December 31, 2018, and Lavery reported net income of $160 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The market value of Lavery's common stock at December 31, 2018 was $31 per share. On the purchase date, the book value of Lavery's net assets was $800 million and:

a. The fair value of Lavery's depreciable assets, with an average remaining useful life of six years, exceeded their book value by $80 million.

b. The remainder of the excess of the cost of the investment over the book value of net assets purchased was attributable to goodwill.

Required:

1-a. Prepare all appropriate journal entries related to the investment during 2018, assuming Runyan accounts for this investment under fair value option, and accounts for the Lavery investment in a manner similar to what it would use for securities for which there is not specific influence.

1-b Calculate the effect of these journal entries on 2018 net income, and the amount at which the investment is carried in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet.

2-a Prepare all appropriate journal entries related to the investment during 2018, assuming Runyan accounts for this investment under the fair value option, but uses equity method accounting to account for Lavery's income and dividends, and then records a fair value adjustment at the end of the year that allows it to comply with GAAP.

2-b Calculate the effect of these journal entries on 2018 net income, and the amount at which the investment is carried in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet.

A psychologist is examining the educational advantages of a preschool program and suspects that there will be significant (α = .01) differences in achievement among 4th graders based on whether or not they attended preschool. Twenty-three randomly selected 4th grade children are used in the study. Twelve attended a preschool program and eleven did not (see the data below).

Group 1 - Preschool: 8, 6, 8, 9, 7, 9, 6, 9, 8, 9, 7, 8

Tree Traversals It should be noted that, in class, all traversal methods were written as recursive algorithm (i.e. at some point, the method called itself). It is possible to implement non-recursive versions of preorder, inorder, and postorder traversal methods mentioned in class. One intuitive way is by using a stack.
1) Give written pseudocode/explanation of :
a) How to build the tree such that a given non-recursive traversal method can be used.
b) Your algorithm for a non-recursive preorder, inorder, OR postorder traversal method (You only have to pick one)
2) Implement the above mentioned algorithms. Traversals should print out nodes in their required order.

Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts—the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc.
Income Statement
Sales $ 1,651,600
Cost of goods sold 1,230,832
Gross margin 420,768
Selling and administrative expenses 550,000
Net operating loss $ (129,232 )

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,400 units of B300 at a price of $19 per unit and 12,600 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:

B300 T500 Total
Direct materials $ 400,600 $ 162,500 $ 563,100
Direct labor $ 120,700 $ 43,000 163,700
Manufacturing overhead 504,032
Cost of goods sold $ 1,230,832

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $57,000 and $108,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

Manufacturing
Overhead
Activity
Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) B300 T500 Total
Machining (machine-hours) $ 206,992 90,100 62,100 152,200
Setups (setup hours) 135,240 72 250 322
Product-sustaining (number of products) 101,400 1 1 2
Other (organization-sustaining costs) 60,400 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 504,032

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.
