Dmitri Ivanov is retiring soon, so he is concerned about his investments providing him steady income every year. He is aware that if interest rates   , the potential earnings power of the cash flow from his investments will increase. In particular, he is concerned that a decline in interest rates might lead to   annual income from his investments.

Since the beginning of the financial year, Large Mart has spent $100,000 to create a new computer program that is able to automatically summarise the content of a university lecture without any manual work being required by students. Large Mart decided to undertake this project because its programming department knew it had the technical knowledge to develop the program successfully, and college students had previously expressed strong interest to purchase such a program. This week, the program has been completed and it will go on sale next week. The Large Mart accounting department is unsure if the $100,000 that was spent on the creation of the program is regarded as a development or research cost. As a result, the accounting department is also unsure how to account for the monies spent on the creation of the program.

1) Provide a detailed discussion of the difference between development and research expenditures, and explain what criteria must be used to distinguish between development and research expenditures in the Australian financial accounting environment.  

2) Determine if the creation of the program represents development or research expenditure, using a detailed evaluation of the criteria you have identified in question 1, and explain how the funds spent on the creation of the program should be accounted for

Agnes Hammer is a senior majoring in management science. She has interviewed with several companies for a job when she graduates, and she is curious about what starting salary offers she might receive. She asked 12 of her classmates at random what their annual staring salary offers were, and she received the following responses

1. Compute the sample mean and sample variance for these data. (Please write down the calculation process)
   

2. Suppose the starting salaries are normally distributed, the mean is the same as the sample mean and variance is the same as sample variance that you calculate from the previous question. What is the probability that Agnes will receive a salary offer of less than $27000? (For probability of normal distribution, please use the probability table posted on Blackboard)
   

3. Suppose the starting salaries are normally distributed, the mean is the same as the sample mean and variance is the same as sample variance that you calculate from the previous question. What is the probability that Agnes will receive a salary offer of between $27000 and $40000 (meaning 27000<= salary <= 40000)? (For probability of normal distribution, please use the probability table posted on Blackboard)

Last month, there was a mechanical breakdown on the cable gondola that takes passengers from the base of Marvellous Mountain to the restaurant at the top. The system, which is operated by Marvellous Mountain Cable Corp. (Marvellous), has two large gondolas, one of which is going down the mountain when the other goes up. The breakdown took place in late afternoon and it soon became apparent that it could not be repaired until the following morning, so the passengers needed to be evacuated from the stationary gondolas.

The evacuation itself was not hazardous but, in the case of one of the gondolas, the passengers would have to walk a long distance over rough terrain after rescue personnel lowered them to the ground. It was considered unsafe for the passengers to be walking over this terrain with heavy items. As a consequence, the passengers were instructed over the public announcement system built into each gondola that for safety’s sake they were to leave any heavy bags and backpacks in the gondola, from which Marvellous personnel would remove them when the gondola was moving again and keep them to be reclaimed.

Two passengers in that gondola suffered serious consequences from these events. One Randolph, was claustrophobic. As long as the gondola was moving Randolph had no problem, but during the hour and a half that elapsed from when the gondola shuddered to a halt to when the passengers were evacuated, Randolph was reduced to a state of serious debilitation and, since the incident, has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The other, Rhonda, had in her backpack a small but heavy scientific instrument that she used in her job as a geologist. The instrument, which belonged to her, was worth $40,000. She left the backpack on the gondola as instructed and it was returned to her the next day, but the instrument was gone. It cannot be determined who removed it from the backpack or when, other than that it must have occurred after the luggage the passengers had left behind in the gondola was unloaded the next day by Marvellous personnel.

Each passenger, when buying a ticket for the gondola, had received a receipt in large font stating, “THIS TICKET CONTAINS CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE — SEE BACK”. On the back, in a smaller but still readable font, were three conditions, one of which read:

“LIABILITY — PASSENGER ASSUMES RISK — By accepting this ticket,  passenger expressly agrees that Marvellous Mountain Cable Corp. shall not be liable for any personal injury or loss of property from any and all causes, including our negligence, that occurs in the gondola terminals or on the gondola.

It comes out, some time after the incident, that Marvellous had failed to arrange for the annual safety inspection and re-certification of the gondola system that was due the week before the incident. As a result, the gondola was operating without a current safety certificate. It appears that the standard inspection would have spotted the wear in a particular gear that experts later determined had caused the breakdown.

Discuss the contract claims that Randolph and Rhonda may have against Marvellous.
