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.

In C programming, Thank you

Declare an array that can contain 5 integer numbers.

Use a for loop to ask the user for numbers and fill up the array using those numbers.

Write a program to determine the 2 largest integers in the array, and print those numbers.

Hint: You can declare integer variables “largest” and “secondLargest” to keep track as you make comparisons using the if...elseif statement.

The following is an example of how your program should look when you execute it:

Enter a number to store in the array: 10
Enter a number to store in the array: 91
Enter a number to store in the array: 145
Enter a number to store in the array: 94
Enter a number to store in the array: 97

The largest number is 145
The second largest number is 97

Tastyfreeze Company is a small producer of fruit-flavored frozen desserts. For many years, its products have had strong regional sales because of brand recognition; however, other companies have begun marketing similar products in the area, and price competition has become increasingly important. Dan O’Mara, the company’s controller, is planning to implement a standard cost system for Tastyfreeze and has gathered considerable information from his coworkers about production and materials requirements for Tastyfreeze’s products. Dan believes that the use of standard costs will allow the company to improve cost control, make better pricing decisions, and enhance strategic management. Tastyfreeze’s most popular product is raspberry sherbet. The sherbet is produced in 10-gallon batches, each of which requires 6 quarts of good raspberries and 10 gallons of other ingredients. The fresh raspberries are sorted by hand before they enter the production process. Because of imperfections in the raspberries and normal spoilage, 1 quart of berries is discarded for every 4 accepted. The standard direct labor time for sorting to obtain 1 quart of acceptable raspberries is 5 minutes. The acceptable raspberries are then blended with the other ingredients; blending requires 15 minutes of direct labor time per batch. After blending, the sherbet is packaged in quart containers. Dan has gathered the following price information: Tastyfreeze purchases raspberries for $6 per quart. All other ingredients cost $2.90 per gallon. Direct labor is paid at the rate of $20 per hour. The total packaging cost (labor and materials) for the sherbet is $0.95 per quart. Required: 1. Develop the standard cost for the direct cost components of a 10-gallon batch of raspberry sherbet. For each direct cost component, the standard cost should identify the following: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) a. Standard quantity. b. Standard rate (or price). c. Standard cost per 10-gallon batch. Next Visit question mapQuestion 5 of 6 Total 5 of 6 Prev
