Nace Manufacturing Company (Use for Problems 8-12) Nace Manufacturing Company leased a piece of nonspecialized equipment for use in its operations from Righteous Leasing on January 1, 2019. The 10-year lease requires lease payments of $4,000, beginning on January 1, 2019, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2027. The equipment is estimated to have a 10-year life, is depreciated on the straight-line basis and will have no residual value at the end of the lease term. Nace's incremental borrowing rate is 11%. Initial direct costs of $1,000 are incurred on January 1, 2019. Righteous Leasing acquired the asset just prior to the lease term at a cost of $27,000. Collection of all lease payments is reasonably assured. Problem 8 What is the proper classification of the lease to Nace? Problem 9 What is the amount of the lease liability recorded by Nace at the lease's commencement? Problem 10 What is the value of the right-of-use asset to Nace at the lease's commencement? Problem 11 Based on the above information, prepare an amortization table for the Nace Manufacturing's lease liability. Payment Interest Reduction Balance Commencement 1-Jan-19 31-Dec-19 31-Dec-20 31-Dec-21 31-Dec-22 31-Dec-23 31-Dec-24 31-Dec-25 31-Dec-26 31-Dec-27 Problem 12 Based on the above information, prepare Nace Manufacturing's journal entries at the commencement of the lease, January 1 and December 31, 2019 payments, and amortization of the right-of-use asset.

Decision #1: Which set of Cash Flows is worth more now?
Assume that your grandmother wants to give you generous gift. She wants you to choose which one of the following sets of cash flows you would like to receive:
Option A: Receive a one-time gift of $ 10,000 today.
Option B: Receive a $1500 gift each year for the next 10 years. The first $1400 would be
received 1 year from today.
Option C: Receive a one-time gift of $18,000 10 years from today.

Case Study:
A local family business is facing a decision. Constantine’s Grocery has been a landmark company in a small city in the USA. Over the past 60 years, what began as a single fresh fruit and vegetable store became a full service grocery store chain with many stores throughout the city. Constantine is incorporated with only 6 shareholders, all family members. The decision it is facing is how to raise much needed capital to maintain its current business operations and to allow the possibility of growth in the future. The family believes it needs an additional $135 million dollars. This sum is too large for a bank line of credit and no one in the family has additional funding to invest into the company. The family is considering other alternatives.
One alternative is to publicly issue debt (corporate bonds), the other alternative is to issue common stock to the public.

10.7 When people make estimates, they are influenced by anchors to their estimates. A study was conducted in which students were asked to estimate the number of calories in a cheeseburger. One group was asked to do this after thinking about a calorie-laden cheesecake. A second group was asked to do this after thinking about an organic fruit salad. The mean number of calories estimated in a cheeseburger was 780 for the group that thought about the cheesecake and 1,041 for the group that thought about the organic fruit salad. (Data extracted from “Drilling Down, Sizing Up a Cheeseburger's Caloric Heft,” The New York Times, October 4, 2010, p. B2.) Suppose that the study was based on a sample of 20 people who thought about the cheesecake first and 20 people who thought about the organic fruit salad first, and the standard deviation of the number of calories in the cheeseburger was 128 for the people who thought about the cheesecake first and 140 for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first.
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses if you want to determine whether the mean estimated number of calories in the cheeseburger is lower for the people who thought about the cheesecake first than for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first.
b. In the context of this study, what is the meaning of the Type I error?
c. In the context of this study, what is the meaning of the Type II error?
d. At the 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that the mean estimated number of calories in the cheeseburger is lower for the people who thought about the cheesecake first than for the people who thought about the organic fruit salad first?

2. You’re playing a game of Magic: The Gathering with a deck that consists of 60 cards, 24 of which are land cards. You draw an opening hand of seven cards which contains exactly one land and six non-lands. (For this problem, you are welcome to read and use the tools of this article1, but your answers must include clear explanations of the mathematical reasoning you’re using!)
(a) What is the probability of this event (that your hand of seven cards contains exactly one land)? Explain your answer clearly.
(b) On your first turn you draw a card from the top of your remaining deck (since you have seven cards in hand, 53 remain in the pile you’re drawing from). What is the probability that you draw a land on your first turn? Explain your answer clearly.
(c) What is the probability that you will draw on land on either your first draw or your second draw (or both)? Explain your answer clearly.
