We аre а new trаvel website which оffers exclusive discоunts frоm our partner resorts and tour groups to discerning clients that have a credit card with our parent corporation. The number of offerings is not huge because we target only high end properties and exclusive tour groups for out clients. We want to calculate the best index to make in our database to maximize performance for our customers who can assess the database through our website and view our travel offerings. Bookings are done in another systems once a customer is ready to book. We estimate that all of the database transaction for the table we are currently interested in can be placed into three query types. Q1: Queries that our clients execute that accesses information about travel destinations in a specific category (skiing, diving, adventure, luxury travel etc) Q2: Queries that our clients execute that access information about activities in a specific location which are broken down into either city or subcity sections depending on the city size (, Tokyo Ginza area, London Mayfair, Concord, Tampa etc) Q3: Queries that our sales team performs that add new resorts and tours organization to our partnership data base so the customers can discovery them. Because we are new the addition of new clients has been rapid Assumptions about the data. We have grown considerably and this table is currently 40 pages in length so if we have to access the entire database it required 40 pages reads. On average a location has 5 partner offerings and each category of offering is available in 20 different locations. Make the assumption that if we know the locations of each partner we still make 5 disk access for Q2 and if we know the locations of the offerings in each category 20 disk access are required for Q1. One disk access is required to read any index we use and if we modify the database we must also modify the index (requiring both a read and a write (2 disk access)). We will also assume that if we modify the database we can find a blank page and will only require one disk access to read the page and one to write back the modified page. Given these assumptions would it be better to use no index, one index on locations, one index on offerings, or two indexes (both offerings and locations)? Action Frequency No index Index on offerings Index on Location Both index Q1: Category .30 Q2: Location .60 Q3: Update .10 Average Calculate the average for each of the 4 options. What is the lowest average (report to 1 decimal place e.g. XX.x)?
Nоrth River Anаlytics Ltd. cоmpleted а finаncing transactiоn in which it issued both common and preferred shares together for total proceeds of $540,000. The CFO initially recorded the full amount as common share capital but later realized the issue should have been allocated between the two classes of shares based on their relative fair values. At the date of issuance, the estimated fair values were $360,000 for the common shares and $240,000 for the preferred shares. In completing the transaction, the company incurred $24,000 of directly attributable share issuance costs, which were initially recorded as an expense. The controller is now correcting both the allocation of proceeds and the treatment of issuance costs and is determining the amount that should ultimately remain in common share capital. What amount should be reported as common share capital after all corrections are made?
Hаrbоur Grid Inc. repоrted net incоme of $1,200,000 аnd hаd 300,000 common shares outstanding throughout the year. The company has $1,000,000 of 10 percent convertible bonds outstanding. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 20 common shares. The corporate tax rate is 25 percent. The assistant controller is preparing diluted EPS and proposes including the effect of conversion, noting that interest expense would be eliminated and additional shares would be issued. Another team member suggests that the impact should first be evaluated to determine whether the conversion is actually dilutive. The CFO requests a properly constructed diluted EPS calculation, including an assessment of whether the convertible bonds should be included. What is diluted earnings per share?
