Imagine that you are a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with a new client who needs an opinion on the most advantageous capital structure of a new corporation. Your client formed the corporation in question to provide technology to the medical profession to facilitate compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Your client is very excited because of the ability to secure several significant contracts with enough capital.

Use the Internet and Strayer Library to research the advantages and disadvantages of debt for capital formation versus equity for capital formation of a corporation. Prepare a formal letter to the client using the six (6) step tax research process in Chapter 1 that was demonstrated in Appendix A on page 7 of your textbook as a guide.

Write a one to two (1-2) page letter in which you:

1. Compare the tax advantages of debt versus equity capital formation of the corporation for
   the client.
2. Recommend to the client whether he / she should use debt or equity for capital formation of the new corporation, based on your research. Provide a rationale for the response.

Exercise 12-25 (Algorithmic)
Fair Value and Equity Methods

Nadal Corporation purchased 8,800 common shares of Beck Inc., on January 1, 2018, for $107,000. During 2018, Beck declared and paid cash dividends to Nadal in the amount of $7,000. Nadal's share of Beck's net income for 2018 was $5,700. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the 10,000 shares was $122,000. This is Nadal's only investment.

Required:

1. Assume that Beck has 66,000 common shares outstanding. What journal entries will Nadal make during 2018 relative to this investment?

2. Assume that Beck has 35,200 common shares outstanding. What journal entries will Nadal make during 2018 relative to this investment?

A Phone class has 4 instance variables

• Model name ("iPhone12","Galaxy")

• RAM (number of gigs such as 8 and12)

• Storage (number of gigs such as 128 and 512)

• Screen of type class Screen as described below.

A Screen has 3 instance variables:

• Screen type ("AMOLED", "LCD")

• Screen size (decimal number such as 6.2 and 10.1)

• Screen ppi (448, 630, 300)

Q1) Code two class-shell for both classes. The names and types of the instance variables have deliberately been left up to you (14m)

Q2) Code a 6-parameter contractor for class Phone  (12m)

• Do not rely on any auto-initialisation

• You can assume mutators exist for all instance variables

Q3) Code the toString method that should print all the specifications of the object that is invoked on. (8m)

Q4) Code a method called normalize() that accepts an array of integers 'intAr' and returns an array of doubles 'doubleAr'. The returned array must have the same length as the input. The method should convert any range of values in 'intAr' into 0..1 range. (10m)

For example:

if intAr=[-100,-50,0,50,100], doubleAr=[0.0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0]

How to normalize data?

where:

• doubleAr[i] is the ith element in the output array doubleAr

• intAr[i] is the ith element in the input array intAr

• min(intAr) is the minimum value in the input array intAr

• max(intAr) is the maximum value in the input array intAr

In 2019, Police Officer Amber Guyger was convicted of the murder of Botham Jean in a 2017 case in which she entered his apartment and shot him thinking he was an intruder in her own nearby apartment, according to her testimony. Guyger was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. The younger brother of Botham spoke in court after the conviction was read stating that he forgave Guyger and requested that he be allowed to hug her, which he did. Here is a video news report on it: LINK (Links to an external site.). Here is a video of Tervor Noah's comment and views on the case: LINK (Links to an external site.). [1] What is your response to what Brandt Jean, brother of the murdered Botham Jean, did in court? Do you believe forgiving someone who has deeply wronged us is a moral duty or is the act of forgiving something extra that goes above and beyond what is one’s duty? Explain your answer.

[2] What is your response to the analysis and commentary of Trevor Noah on the Guyger case? Based on what Trevor says and based on the NPR Podcast interview with Jemar Tisby, what do you think about the question of "whether the public expects black victims to provide forgiveness to white perpetrators" (NPR Podcast 2019, link (Links to an external site.))?

Globally, one of the most affected sector for sure is 'Education System'. Currently more than 80% of all students in 173 countries are in a lockdown and try to get education remotely. Although the prior status in education was not promising - only 53% of the students 10 years old can understand the text they read - now we are in a worse situation. News about drop out students, schools getting closed are spreading because the lack of infrastructure for remote education. Obviously non of the countries were prepared for such a lockdown because of a pandemy. What can be done for these stuations? How? With what funds? What should we invest on as a startup point of view? etc. Please write as much ideas as you can to find out multiple solutions.
