Buff Tech, Inc. sells computer components and plans to borrow some money to expand. The company has a 12/31 year-end. After reading about earnings management (refer back to Chapter 4), Bucky, the owner has decided he should try to accelerate some sales to improve his financial statement ratios. He has called his best customers and asked them to make their usual January purchases and take delivery of the goods by December 31. He told the customers he would allow them until the end of February to pay for the purchases, just as if they had made the purchases in January.

Note: For revenue recognition purposes, the performance obligation was satisfied by 12/31.

Question:

What are the ethical implications of this plan? What ratios will be improved by accelerating these sales? What about future implications?

Charged boop (with Barling R on an axis through the center a distance z away): Force AL--disc with Radius R on an axis through the renter a Newto Name: Electric field of a sphere [5 points] Charge is distributed throughout a sphere of radius R according to the formula: p(r) - Po (1 - R) R where r is the distance from the center of the sphere. This sphere is shown at the right. Two gaussian surfaces are drawn in the figure, one with radius r R. a. Determine the charge enclosed by the inner gaussian surface (with radius ri). b. Write an algebraic expression for the electric field at the surface of the inner gaussian surface (with radius 71). c. Determine the charge enclosed by the outer gaussian surface (with radius ry). d. Write an algebraic expression for the electric field at the surface of the outer gaussian surface (with radius ra). Continued on next page(17) 1. Consider a random experiment that consists of throwing a dart at a triangle-shaped target with vertices at the (x, y) positions (-1.5, -0.5), (-1.5, 3.0), and (2.0, -0.5), resulting in outcome (x, y). Assume that the dart always hits the target and that the probability distribution is uniform over the surface of the target. Let the bivariate probability density function (pdf) be fxY(x, y) and the bivariate cumulative distribution function (CDF) be FxY(x, y). a. Sketch a bird's-eye view, looking straight down from above, showing the borders and "footprint" of pdf fxy(x, y) on the x-y plane. b. Find the value of pdf fxY(x, y) for x = 0, y = 0. Explain your work. c. Find the value of CDF Fxv(x, y) for x = 0, y = 0. Explain your work
