Textbook Question
Chapter 4.E, Problem 70E
Fairness Issues. Choose a tax question that has issues of fairness associated with it (for example, capital gains rates, the marnage penalty, or the alternative minimum tax [AMT]). Use the Web to investigate the current status of this question. Have new laws been passed that affect it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of recent or proposed changes, and who supports the changes? Summarize your own opinion about whether current tax law is unfair and, if so, should be done about it.

If an economist wishes to determine whether there is evidence that average family income in a community exceeds $25,000. The best alternative hypothesis is:
A. μ ≤ 25,000.
B. μ ≥ 25,000.
C. μ = 25,000.
D. μ > 25,000.
he Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides a toll-free help line for taxpayers to call in and get answers to questions as they prepare their tax returns. In recent years, the IRS has been inundated with taxpayer calls and has redesigned its phone service as well as posting answers to frequently asked questions on its website (The Cincinnati Enquirer, January 7, 2010). According to a report by a taxpayer advocate, callers using the new system can expect to wait on hold for an unreasonably long time of 15 minutes before being able to talk to an IRS employee. Suppose you select a sample of 50 callers after the new phone service has been implemented; the sample results show a mean waiting time of 13 minutes before an IRS employee comes on line. Based upon data from past years, you decide it is reasonable to assume that the standard deviation of waiting times is 11 minutes. Use alpha=.05

Inaugural Addressby Nelson Mandela (excerpt)
We trust that you will continue to stand by us as we tackle the challenges of building peace, prosperity, non-sexism, non-racialism and democracy.
We deeply appreciate the role that the masses of our people and their political mass democratic, religious, women, youth, business, traditional and other leaders have played to bring about this conclusion. Not least among them is my Second Deputy President, the Honourable F. W. de Klerk.
We would also like to pay tribute to our security forces, in all their ranks, for the distinguished role they have played in securing our first democratic elections and the transition to democracy, from blood-thirsty forces which still refuse to see the light.
The time for the healing of the wounds has come.
The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come.
The time to build is upon us.
We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing…

- In recent years major efforts have been made to standardize accounting practices in different countries; this is called harmonization. In an article in Accounting and Business Research, Emmanuel N. Emenyonu and Sidney J. Gray studied the extent to which accounting practices in France, Germany, and the U.K. are harmonized. (a) Depreciation method is one of the accounting practices studied by Emenyonu and Gray. Three methods were considered—the straight-line method (S), the declining balance method (D), and a combination of D & S (sometimes European firms start with the declining balance method and then switch over to the straight-line method when the figure derived from straight line exceeds that from declining balance). The data in the table (below) summarize the depreciation methods used by a sample of 78 French, German, and U.K. firms. Depreciation Methods France Germany UK Total A. Straight line (S) 15 0 25 40 B.

Redback Industries is a relatively small but successful and fast-growing maker of peripheral devices for cell phones including battery chargers, enhanced antennas, SIM cards, and custom carrying cases. Costco is considering purchasing Redback in order to sell the devices as private label offerings. However, Costco has set an offer price of $ 600M that depends on whether Redback’s current Annual Net Income is higher and significantly different from its 14-year average of $ 104.5M per year; Redback has indicated it is willing to sell itself to Costco at the $600M price. Use the following information to determine at the 95 % Level Of Confidence whether Costco will proceed with the purchase at the planned price of $ 600M or will lower its offering price if Redback’s current Annual Net Income is not greater than $ 104.5M per year. Redback Industries Normalized Yearly Annual Net Income over the last 14 years is $ 104.5M Redback Industries is currently reporting Yearly Annual Net…arrow_forward
