What do state fixed effects imply for the intercept in Panel data? How much do you estimate the unobserved fixed effects for each state?

1. Calculate the total time to transmit a 1000 KB file over a link in the following cases, assuming the one-way delay in either direction is 50ms, and an initial 2 x RTT of "handshaking" before any data is sent.
   1. The bandwidth is 1.5 Mbps, the packet size including the header is 1 KB of which the header is 40 bytes, and data packets are sent continuously and never lost.
   2. Same as (1), but the packet size is 5 KB (incl. header). ·What happens when 15 packets are lost and have to be retransmitted (no time is wasted in detecting which packets have been lost, the last packet in the stream is not retransmitted).
   3. Same as (1), but after we finish transmitting we must wait for one RTT before transmitting the next packet.
   4. Same as (1), but the link bandwidth is "infinite" ( the transmission time is assumed to be zero). We start by sending one packet in the first (2^{(1 – 1)}), during the second RTT we send two ( 2(^2-1) )packets, during the third RTT we send four (2^(3-1)), and so on.

It is February 16, 2018, and you are auditing Davenport Corporation’s financial statements for 2017 (which will be issued in March 2018). You read in the newspaper that Travis Corporation, a major customer of Davenport, is in financial difficulty. Included in Davenport’s accounts receivable is $50,000 (a material amount) owed to it by Travis. You approach Jim Davenport, president, with this information and suggest that a reduction of accounts receivable and recognition of a loss on doubtful accounts for 2017 might be appropriate. Jim replies, “Why should we make an adjustment? Ted Travis, the president of Travis Company, is a friend of mine; he will find a way to pay us, one way or another. Furthermore, this occurred in 2018, so let’s wait and see what happens; we can always make an adjustment later this year.”

Required: Write a memo:-

In your position as the external auditor of Davenport Corporation, prepare a memo to Jim Davenport and address the following:

1. The ethical issues you both face.
2. The major stakeholders involved and state how the stakeholders would be affected by the course of action suggested by Jim Davenport.
3. Explain why you believe the course of action proposed by Charlie Brown is ethical or unethical.
4. Explain the proper accounting treatment and support your answer with appropriate authoritative citation.

1. Single Plantwide Rate and Activity-Based Costing

   Whirlpool Corporation conducted an activity-based costing study of its Evansville, Indiana, plant in order to identify its most profitable products. Assume that we select three representative refrigerators (out of 333): one low-, one medium-, and one high-volume refrigerator. Additionally, we assume the following activity-base information for each of the three refrigerators:

   Three Representative Refrigerators	Number of Machine Hours		Number of Setups		Number of Sales Orders		Number of Units
   Refrigerator—Low Volume	120		21		63		600
   Refrigerator—Medium Volume	310		20		140		1,550
   Refrigerator—High Volume	960		14		210		4,800

   Prior to conducting the study, the factory overhead allocation was based on a single machine hour rate. The machine hour rate was $600 per hour. After conducting the activity-based costing study, assume that three activities were used to allocate the factory overhead. The new activity rate information is assumed to be as follows:

   	Machining Activity		Setup Activity		Sales Order Processing Activity
   Activity rate	$580		$900		$200

   a. Complete the following table, using the single machine hour rate to determine the per-unit factory overhead for each refrigerator (Column A) and the three activity-based rates to determine the activity-based factory overhead per unit (Column B). Finally, compute the percent change in per-unit allocation from the single to activity-based rate methods (Column C).

   If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent. Round percents to one decimal place. For column C, use the minus sign to indicate a negative or decrease.

   	Column A	Column B	Column C
   Product Volume Class	Single Rate Overhead Allocation Per Unit	ABC Overhead Allocation Per Unit	Percent Change in Allocation
   Low	$	$	%
   Medium	$	$	%
   High	$	$	%

   
   b. Why is the traditional overhead rate per machine hour greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method?

   The machine hour rate is greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method because 100% of the factory overhead is is allocated by machine hours under the single rate method. However, only a portion of the factory overhead is allocated under the machine rate method using activity-based costing. The remaining factory overhead is allocated using the . Thus, the numerator for for determining the machine hour rate under activity-based costing must be less than the numerator under the single machine hour rate method.

   c. Interpret Column C in your table from part (A).

   Column C indicates that under activity-based costing the low-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. In contrast, under activity-based costing the high-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. This result will occur when there are activities that occur in proportions different from their volumes. In this case, volume products have setups and sales orders occurring in higher proportions of total setups and sales orders than their proportion of machine hours to total machine hours. The opposite is the case for the volume product. Thus, the lower-volume products are produced and ordered in batch sizes compared to the higher-volume product. This implies that Whirlpool may wish to simplify its product line by eliminating some of the volume products or by attempting to reduce the overall cost of setup and sales order processing activities.

What to submit: your answers to exercises 1, 2, and 3 and separate the codes to each question..

1. Create a UML diagram to help design the class described in exercise 3 below.

Do this exercise before you attempt to code the solution. Think about what instance variables will be required to describe a Baby class object; should they be private or public? Determine what class methods are required; should they be private or public?

2. Write Java code for a Baby class. A Baby has a name of type String and an age of type integer.

Supply two constructors: one will be the default constructor, that just sets default values for the name and age; the second constructor will take two parameters, a string to set the name and an integer to set the age. Also, supply methods for setting the name, setting the age, getting the name and getting the age.

Give Java code for an equals method for the Baby class. Babies count as being the same (i.e. equal) if their names and their ages are exactly identical (names should not be case sensitive). The method will take a Baby type parameter and use the calling object (thus comparing these two objects via name and age); it should return Boolean - true or false as appropriate. Remember, if comparing Strings, you must use String comparison methods.

.   Test your Baby class by writing a client program which uses an array to store information about 4 babies. That is, each of the four elements of the array must store a Baby object.

If you have an array for baby names and another array for baby ages, then you have missed the point of the exercise and therefore not met the requirement of this exercise.

A Baby class object stores the required information about a Baby. So each Baby object will have its own relevant information, and thus each object must be stored in one element of the array.

The client program should:

a. Enter details for each baby (name and age) and thus populate the

Baby array

b. Output the details of each baby from the array (name and age) c. Calculate and display the average age of all babies in the array d. Determine whether any two babies in the array are the same

As the required information for these tasks is stored in the Baby array, you will need to use a loop to access each array element (and use the dot notation to access the appropriate set and get methods to assign/retrieve the information).

For part d above, a nested loop is required.

Base class: Polygon

Derived classes: Rectangle, Triangle

Make Square a derived class of Rectangle.

There can be several ways to represent the shapes. For example, a shape can be represented by an array of side lengths counted in the clock-wise order. For example, {2, 4, 2, 4} for a rectangle of width 2 and height 4, and {4, 4, 4, 4} for a square. You need to design your representation.

Each polygon should have a function area() that returns its area, and perimeter() that returns its perimeter.

The area of a triangle, given three sides a, b, and c, can be calculated using Heron's formula (http://www.mathopenref.com/heronsformula.html).

In a main program, create an array of pointers to Polygon; create at least one object from each derived class, assign it to the array, and print out the area and perimeter of each array member.

Polygon * shapes[3];

shapes[0] = new Rectangle(4.0, 2.0);

shapes[1] = new Square(4.0);

shapes[3] = new Triangle(4.0, 4.0, 4.0);

for (int i=0; i<3)

cout<<shapes[i]->area()<<" ,"<<shapes[i]->perimeter()<<endl;

Design your classes properly by using dynamic binding and well-thought-out constructors.

Submit 9 C++ files in one zip file: one header file and one cpp file for each of the four classes, plus a client.cpp.

Hello , I cannot find the answer for this questions : Problem 3. (Signaling game: market for used cars) Consider the market for used cars and assume that the cars can be of one of two possible quality levels: low (the ’lemons’) and high (the ’plums’). The seller knows the true quality of the car (the seller’s type is given by the quality level) but the buyers only know the probability distribution of the cars in the market. Assume that the buyer’s initial (prior) beliefs are as follows: probability p for a car being of high quality, and probability (1 − p) for a car being of low quality. If the seller sells his car, then his payoff is equal to the price paid by the buyer. If the seller does not sell the car, his payoff will be equal to his valuation of the used car: $10000 if it is of high quality and $6000 if it is of low quality. The buyer’s valuation of cars with high quality is $12000, and his valuation of low-quality cars is $7000. However, he only learns the true quality after the purchase. If the buyer purchases a car, then his payoff is given by the difference between his true valuation and the price he pays. If he does not buy a car, his payoff is zero. (a) First, consider a market with complete information for both sides of the market. Explain why, given the buyers’ and sellers’ valuations, all cars will be sold. Is this outcome Pareto-optimal? (b) Now consider the market with incomplete information as described above. What would be a seller’s pooling strategy (to offer all the cars at the same price)? If sellers follow this pooling strategy, what would be their best response (strategy and beliefs) given their prior belief p? Given this best response of the buyers, is it optimal for the seller to follow the pooling strategy given p? (c) Find values for prior belief p such that there is a perfect Bayesian Nash equilibrium with pooling. Is this outcome Pareto-optimal, i.e. are all those cars sold that would be sold with complete information?
