Scott Bestor is an accountant for Westfield Company. Early this year, Scott made a highly favorable projection of sales and prof

its over the next 3 years for Westfield's hot-selling computer PLEX. As a result of the projections Scott presented to senior management, the company decided to expand production in this area. This decision led to dislocations of some plant personnel who were reassigned to one of the company's newer plants in another state. However, no one was fired, and in fact the company expanded its workforce slightly.Unfortunately, Scott rechecked his projection computations a few months later and found that he had made an error that would have reduced his projections substantially. Luckily, sales of PLEX have exceeded projections so far, and management is satisfied with its decision. Scott, however, is not sure what to do. Should he confess his honest mistake and jeopardize his possible promotion? He suspects that no one will catch the error because PLEX sales have exceeded his projections, and it appears that profits will materialize close to his projections.Instructionsa. Who are the stakeholders in this situation?b. Identify the ethical issues involved in this situation.c. What are the possible alternative actions for Scott? What would you do in Scott's position?Post your Initial Response by Wednesday of Week 5 and 2 follow up comments by Sunday.

On January 1 of the current year, Barton Corporation issued 10% bonds with a face value of $200,000. The bonds are sold for $191
Verdich [7]

Answer:

a. $21,800

Explanation:

The discoun of issuance of the bond is amortized over the period until maturity. Total Interest expesne on a discounted bond is the sum of the coupon payment and the amortization of the discount amount.

Coupon payment = $200,000 x 10% = $20,000 per year

Discount on the bond = $200,000 - $191,000 = $9,000

Discount amotized per year = $9,000 / 5 = $1,800

Total Interest Expense = Coupon Payment + Amortization of Discount

Total Interest Expense = 20,000 + 1800 = $21,800

A manuscript is sent to a typing firm consisting of typists A, B and C. If it is typed by A, then the number of errors made is a
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(a) E(X) = 3

(b) Var(X) = 12.1067

Explanation:

(a) E[X]

E[X]T = E[X]T=A + E[X]T=B + E[X]T=C

         = (2.6 + 3 + 3.4)/3

         = 2.6 (1/3) + 3(1/3) + 3.4(1/3)

         = 2.6/3 + 1 + 3.4/3

         = 3

(b) Var (X) = E[X²]−(E[X])²

Recall that if Y ∼ Pois(λ), then E[Y 2] = λ+λ2. This implies that

E[X²] = [(2.6 + 2.6²) + (3 + 3²) + (3.4 + 3.4²)]/3

         = (9.36 + 12 + 14.96)/3

         = 36.32/3

         = 12.1067

Var(X) = E[X²]−(E[X])²

          = 12 - 3²

          = 12.1067 - 9

          = 3.1067
