Answer:

Explanation:

An instrument is accurate when it gives the correct value of the quantity being measured

e. g. if we perform an experiment to determine the density of mercury and we get a value of 8.5 − instead of − the inaccurate answer could be due to the balance or the measuring cylinder being inaccurate (once the experiment has not committed any error)

Select the instruments you would use to measure the following. State why you have chosen each instrument and give the range of measurements possible with the instrument and its sensitivity.

The thickness of a human hair

The diameter of a table tennis ball

The area of a window pane

The inside diameter or bore of a water pipe

The diameter of a bolt when deciding the size of the hole to drill

The volume of liquid in a wine bottle

ERRORS

13 Errors are normally classified in three categories: systematic errors, random errors, and blunders.

A final source of error, called a blunder, is an outright mistake. A person may record a wrong value, misread a scale, forget a digit when reading a scale or recording a measurement, or make a similar blunder. These blunder should stick out like sore thumbs if we make multiple measurements or if one person checks the work of another. Blunders should not be included in the analysis of data.

14 Systematic Errors

Systematic errors are due to identified causes and can, in principle, be eliminated. Errors of this type result in measured values that are consistently too high or consistently too low. Systematic errors may be of four kinds:

Instrumental. For example, a poorly calibrated instrument such as a thermometer that reads 102 oC when immersed in boiling water and 2 oC when immersed in ice water at atmospheric pressure. Such a thermometer would result in measured values that are consistently too high.

Observational. For example, parallax in reading a meter scale.

15 Systematic Errors continued

Environmental.

Theoretical.

16 Random Errors

Random errors are positive and negative fluctuations that cause about one-half of the measurements to be too high and one-half to be too low. Sources of random errors cannot always be identified. Possible sources of random errors are as follows:

1. Observational. For example, errors in judgment of an observer when reading the scale of a measuring device to the smallest division.

17 Environmental. For example, unpredictable fluctuations in line voltage, temperature, or mechanical vibrations of equipment.

Random errors, unlike systematic errors, can often be quantified by statistical analysis, therefore, the effects of random errors on the quantity or physical law under investigation can often be determined.

18 An example fitting to distinguish between systematic and random errors is suppose that you use a stop watch to measure the time required for ten oscillations of a pendulum. One source of error will be your reaction time in starting and stopping the watch. During one measurement you may start early and stop late; on the next you may reverse these errors. These are random errors if both situations are equally likely.

Repeated measurements produce a series of times that are all slightly different. They vary in random vary about an average value.

If a systematic error is also included for example, your stop watch is not starting from zero, then your measurements will vary, not about the average value, but about a displaced value.  

19 Blunders

A final source of error, called a blunder, is an outright mistake. A person may record a wrong value, misread a scale, forget a digit when reading a scale or recording a measurement, or make a similar blunder. These blunder should stick out like sore thumbs if we make multiple measurements or if one person checks the work of another. Blunders should not be included in the analysis of data.

Tanner-UNF Corporation acquired as a long-term investment $170 million of 6% bonds, dated July 1, on July 1, 2013. Company manag
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

1) The Investment would be classified as Held-to-maturity securities

2) Journal Entries (in millions)

Debit Investment $170 Credit Bank $140 Credit Discount on investment $30

3) Debit Bank $5.1 Debit Discount on investment $0.5 Credit Interest Income $5.6

4) Debit Fair Value loss $20 Credit Investment $20

5) The investment will be reported at the fair value of $150,000

6) Debit Bank $120 Debit Discount on Investment $29.5 Loss on Investment $0.5 Credit Investment $150,000  

Explanation:

Interest = investment * semiannual interest

6%/2 = 3%

8%/2 = 4%

Bank = $170,000,000*3% = $5,100,000

Interest income = $140,000,000*4%= $5,600,000

Fair Value $150

cost        $170

Fair Value Loss = $20

If supply is unchanged, but demand increases, we can conclude that the new equilibrium:
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e.

Explanation:

The supply in the given example is assumed to be unchanged. Supply being constant an increase in demand will cause the demand curve to shift to the right. This rightward shift in the demand curve will intersect the supply curve at a higher point. This will cause an increase in the price as well as quantity of output in the market.  

So, option e is the correct answer.

What impact would the fed's raising the interest rate have on any inflationary pressure in the economy?
Licemer1 [7]

People will eventually start cutting back on their spending since increased interest rates result in greater borrowing costs. Then, when the demand for goods and services declines, so does inflation.

Interest and other expenses incurred by an entity in conjunction with borrowing money are referred to as borrowing costs. An asset that requires a significant amount of time to prepare for use or sale qualifies as a qualifying asset.

A qualifying asset's cost includes borrowing expenses that are directly related to its purchase, construction, or production. The expense of other borrowing costs is recognized.

The fundamental tenet of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs is that if borrowing costs can be directly linked to the purchase, development, or production of a qualifying asset, they should be capitalized. Additional borrowing expenses are deducted from profit or loss.
