Islam rejects Christian teaching that all humans are born sinners. Rather, each person freely chooses to follow God and do good or not. For Islam, the Christian doctrine of original sin removes personal responsibility. The idea that Jesus died for others is judged to be unfair and against God’s justice. Each individual alone, is responsible for their eternal destiny.
Does the Christian or Muslim view of the human person and the role in their salvation make more sense? Why?

Problem 12-23 Make or Buy Decision [LO12-3]
Silven Industries, which manufactures and sells a highly successful line of summer lotions and insect repellents, has decided to diversify in order to stabilize sales throughout the year. A natural area for the company to consider is the production of winter lotions and creams to prevent dry and chapped skin.
After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven’s president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated.
The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $9 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $139,500 charge for fixed manufacturing overhead will be absorbed by the product under the company’s absorption costing system.
Using the estimated sales and production of 155,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following manufacturing cost per box:
Direct material | $ | 4.30 | |
Direct labor | 2.60 | ||
Manufacturing overhead | 1.90 | ||
Total cost | $ | 8.80 | |
The costs above relate to making both the lip balm and the tube that contains it. As an alternative to making the tubes for Chap-Off, Silven has approached a supplier to discuss the possibility of buying the tubes. The purchase price of the supplier's empty tubes would be $1.35 per box of 24 tubes. If Silven Industries stops making the tubes and buys them from the outside supplier, its direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead costs per box of Chap-Off would be reduced by 10% and its direct materials costs would be reduced by 20%.
Required:
1. If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, how much of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box will it be able to avoid? (Hint: You need to separate the manufacturing overhead of $1.90 per box that is shown above into its variable and fixed components to derive the correct answer.)
2. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) per box of Chap-Off if Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier?
3. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) in total (not per box) if Silven buys 155,000 boxes of tubes from the outside supplier?
4. Should Silven Industries make or buy the tubes?
5. What is the maximum price that Silven should be willing to pay the outside supplier for a box of 24 tubes?
6. Instead of sales of 155,000 boxes of tubes, revised estimates show a sales volume of 191,000 boxes of tubes. At this higher sales volume, Silven would need to rent extra equipment at a cost of $56,000 per year to make the additional 36,000 boxes of tubes. Assuming that the outside supplier will not accept an order for less than 191,000 boxes of tubes, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) in total (not per box) if Silven buys 191,000 boxes of tubes from the outside supplier? Given this new information, should Silven Industries make or buy the tubes?
7. Refer to the data in (6) above. Assume that the outside supplier will accept an order of any size for the tubes at a price of $1.35 per box. How many boxes of tubes should Silven make? How many boxes of tubes should it buy from the outside supplier?

Scenario 1:
Murphy & Johnson is a privately owned manufacturer of small
motors for lawnmowers, tractors, and snowmobiles. The components of
its financial statements are (1) income before taxes = $21 million,
(2) total assets = $550 million, and (3) total revenues = $775
million. Murphy & Johnson's CPA firm uses the normal percentage
for income before taxes for a public company for determining
overall materiality.
a. Determine overall materiality, and determine tolerable misstatement. Explain your answer.
b. During the course of the audit, Murphy & Johnson’s CPA firm detected two misstatements that aggregated to an overstatement of income of $1.25 million. Evaluate the audit findings. Explain your answer.
Scenario 2:
Delta Investments provides a group of mutual funds for investors. The components of its financial statements are (1) income before taxes = $40 million, (2) total assets = $4.3 billion, and (3) total revenues = $900 million. Delta Investments' CPA firm uses the percentage applicable on total (net) assets for determining overall materiality.
a. Determine overall materiality, and determine tolerable misstatement. Explain your answer.
b. During the course of the audit, Delta’s CPA firm detected two misstatements that aggregated to an overstatement of income of $5.75 million. Evaluate the audit findings. Explain your answer.
Scenario 3:
Swell Computers is a public company that manufactures desktop and laptop computers. The components of the financial statements are: (1) income before taxes = $500,000, (2) total assets = $2.2 billion, and (3) total revenues = $7 billion. Swell Computers' CPA firm might use the lowest percentage for total assets for determining overall materiality, but they also consider qualitative factors.
a. Determine overall materiality and tolerable misstatement. Explain your answer.
b. During the course of the audit, Swell’s CPA firm detected one misstatement that resulted in an overstatement of income by $1.5 million. Evaluate the audit findings. Explain your answer.

Interest Rate Tax
Consider a two-period economy, where the consumers can lend or borrow and the income of the consumers in both periods is exogenous. Suppose the government introduces a tax on the interest earnings of the lenders. That is, while borrowers face a real interest rate of r before and after the tax is introduced, lenders face a real interest rate of (1 − x)r, where x is the tax rate, after the tax is introduced.
1. Show the effects of the increase in the tax rate on consumer’s lifetime budget constraint.
2. How does the tax affect the optimal choices (consumption in current and future periods and saving)? Show how income and substitution effects matter for your answer, and how it matters whether the consumer is initially a borrower or a lender

Prompt #2 Ethicist Margaret Battin (1987) suggests that physicians should uphold a patient’s autonomy by informing them about humane methods for ending one’s life. Thus, the principle of autonomy creates a moral obligation for physicians to provide patients (who request it) with information on how to die.
Furthermore, some individuals create suicide kits that are available for purchase through online retailers like Ebay. One in particular, is a 3D-printed pod suicide machine called “Sarco” that fills with gas to end a person’s life.
*Should there be limits on freedom of speech when it comes to publicizing methods for killing oneself or others?
*Should physicians be the ones to inform patients about “humane” methods for ending their lives?
*Some people might argue that suicide attempts are just a cry for help. How can a physician determine if a request for euthanasia is genuine and not just a cry for help? (USLOs 8.1, 8.2, 8.3)\

Consider an array A[1 · · · n] which is sorted and then rotated k steps to the right. For example, we might start with the sorted array [1, 4, 5, 9, 10], and rotate it right by k = 3 steps to get [5, 9, 10, 1, 4]. Give an O(log n)-time algorithm that finds and returns the position of a given element x in array A, or returns None if x is not in A. Your algorithm is given the array A[1 · · · n] but does not know k. You can use C, C++, Java, or Python to solve this problem (ask the instructor if you have another programming language in mind).
