The Sheridan Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Sheridan has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sheridan will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs.
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $612,100, useful life 26 years.
Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $71,490 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $655,200 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 26 years at a net annual rental of $6,850. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sheridan Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
In which building would you recommend that The Sheridan Inc. locate, assuming a 11% cost of funds?

Your uncle Abdallah is celebrating his 33th birthday today and wants to start saving for his retirement at the age of 63. He wants to be able to withdraw AED 100,000 from his saving account on each birthday for 20 years following his retirement. The first withdraw will be on his 64th birthday. Your uncle intends to invest his money in a local bank in Abu Dhabi that offers 7% interest rate per year. He wants to make equal payments on each birthday into the account established in the local bank for his retirement fund.
1. If your uncle starts making these deposits on his 33th birthday and continues to make deposits until he is 63, what amount must he deposit annually to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement?
2. If your uncle has just inherited a large sum of money, so instead of making equal payments, he has decided to pay one lump sum payment on his 33th birthday to cover his retirement needs. What amount does he have to deposit?
3. If your uncle’s employer informs your uncle that he will contribute AED 1,000 to your uncle account every year. Also, if your uncle expects AED100,000 from another investment on his 53th birthday, which he will also put into the retirement account. What amount must he deposit annually now to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement.

The CIS Department at Tiny College maintains the Free Access to Current Technology (FACT) library of e-books. FACT is a collection of current technology e-books for use by faculty and students. Agreements with the publishers allow patrons to electronically check out a book, which gives them exclusive access to the book online through the FACT website, but only one patron at a time can have access to a book. A book must have at least one author but can have many. An author must have written at least one book to be included in the system but may have written many. A book may have never been checked out but can be checked out many times by the same patron or different patrons over time. Because all faculty and staff in the department are given accounts at the online library, a patron may have never checked out a book or they may have checked out many books over time. To simplify determining which patron currently has a given book checked out, a redundant relationship between BOOK and PATRON is maintained.

Required:
Write a query that will display all the Books that were published in 2016.

For each of the accounts above, indicate the proper balance sheet classification. In the case of borderline items, indicate the additional information that would be required to determine the proper classification.

In this exercise, decisions will be made in ethically ambiguous situations and then analyzed. As in the real world, all the background information on each situation will not be available, and assumptions will need to be made.It is recommended that the exercise be completed before reading the following mat e rial, and then revisited after you have completed the chapter.Name:Date:Part ISTEP 1Make decisions in the following situations. You will not have all the background information about each situation; instead you should make whatever assumptions you feel you would make if you were actually confronted with the decision choices described. Select the decision choice that most closely represents the decision you feel you would make personally. You should choose decision choices even though you can envision other creative solutions that were not included in the exercise.Situation 1. You are taking a very difficult chemistry course, which you must pass to maintain your scholarship and to avoid damaging your application for graduate school. Chemistry is not your strong suit, and because of a just-below-failing average in the course, you must receive a grade of 90 or better in the final examination, which is 2 days away. A janitor who is aware of your plight informs you that he found the master copy of the chemistry final in a trash barrel and saved it. He will make it available to you for a price, which is high, but which you could afford. What would you do?(a) I would tell the janitor thanks, but no thanks.(b) I would report the janitor to the proper officials.(c) I would buy the examination and keep it to myself.(d) I would not buy the examination myself, but I would let some of my friends, who are also flunking the course, know that it is available.
Situation 2. You have been working on some complex analytical data for 2 days now. It seems that each time you think you have them completed, your boss shows up with a new assumption or another "what if" question. If you only had a copy of a new software program for your personal computer, you could plug in the new assumptions and revise the estimates with ease.Then a colleague offers to let you make a copy of some software that is copyrighted. What would you do?(a) I would readily accept my friend’s generous offer and make a copy of the software.(b) I would decline to copy it and plug away manually on the numbers.(c) I would decide to go buy a copy of the software myself for $300 and hope I would be reimbursed by the company in a month or two.(d) I would request another extension on an already overdue project date.Situation 3. Your small manufacturing company is in serious financial difficulty. A large order of your products is ready to be delivered to a key customer, when you discover that the product is simply not right. It will not meet all performance specifications, will cause problems for your customer, and will require rework in the field; but this, you know, will not become evident until after the customer has received and paid for the order. If you do not ship the order and receive the payment as expected, your business may be forced into bankruptcy. And if you delay the shipment or inform the customer of these problems, you may lose the order and also go bankrupt. What would you do?(a) I would not ship the order and place my firm in voluntary bankruptcy.(b) I would inform the customer and declare voluntary bankruptcy.
(c) I would ship the order and inform the customer after I received payment.(d) I would ship the order and not inform the customer.
