And there are health conditions for which being overweight is actually _2_. For example, heavier women are less likely to develop calcium deficiency than thin women. _3_, among the elderly, being somewhat overweight is often an _4_ of good health.Of even greater _5_ is the fact that obesity turns out to be very difficult to define. It is often _6_body mass index, or BIMI _7_ body mass divided by the square of height. An adult with a BIMI of 18 to 25 is often considered to be normal weight. Between 25 to 30 is overweight. And over 30 is considered obese. Obesity, _8_ can be divided into moderately obese, severely obese, and very severely obese.While such numerical standards seem _9_, they are not. Obesity is probably less a matter of weight than body fat. Some people with a high BMI are in fact extremely fit. _10_ others with a low BMI may be in poor _11_. For example, many collegiate and professional football players _12_ as obese, though their percentage body fat is low. Conversely, someone with a small frame may have high body fat but a _13_ BMI.Today we have a(n) _14_ to label obesity as a disgrace. The overweight are sometimes _15_ in the media with their faces covered. Stereotypes _16_ with obesity include laziness, lack of will power, and lower prospects for success. Teachers, employers, and health professionals have been shown to harbor biases against the obese. _17_ very young children tend to look down on the overweight, and teasing about body build has long been a problem in schools.Negative attitudes toward obesity, _18_ in health concerns have stimulated a number of anti-obesity _19_, My own hospital system has banned sugary drinks from its facilities.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1What would you do with $559m? This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small, un-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history. If she hopes her new-found fortune will yield lasting feelings or fulfillment. She could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton.These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet satisfaction with these maternal purchases wears off fairly quickly. What was Once exciting and new becomes old hat; regret creeps in, It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms Dun and Mr. Norton, like interesting trips, unique meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time–as stones or memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected toothers.This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most “happiness bang for your buck.”It seems most people would be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work, spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television (something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing, and is hardly jollier for it). Buying gifts or giving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself, and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly. This is apparently the reason McDonald’s restricts the availability of its popular McRib-a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.Readers of Happy Money are clearly a privileged lot, anxious about fulfilment, not hunger. Money may not quite buy happiness, but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones. Yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world. and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people. Not everyone will agree with the authors’ policy ideas, which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers, But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent.21. According to Dumn and Norton, which of the following is the most rewarding purchase?[A] A big house.[B] A special tour.[C] A stylish car.[D] A rich meal.22. The author’s attitude toward Americans’ watching TV is.[A] critical[B] supportive[C] sympathetic[D] ambiguous23. Macrib is mentioned in paragraph 3 to show that .[A] consumers are sometimes irrational[B] popularity usually comes after quality[C] marketing tricks are after effective[D] rarity generally increases pleasure24. According to the last paragraph, Happy Money .[A] has left much room for readers’ criticism[B] may prove to be a worthwhile purchase[C] has predicted a wider income gap in the us[D] may give its readers a sense of achievement25. This text mainly discusses how to .[A] balance feeling good and spending money[B] spend large sums of money won in lotteries[C] obtain lasting satisfaction from money spent[D] become more reasonable in spending on luxuriesText 2An article in Scientific American has pointed out that empirical research says that, actually, you think you're more beautiful than you are. We have a deep-seated need to feel good about ourselves and we naturally employ a number of self-enhancing (to use the psychological terminology) strategies to achieve this. Social psychologists have amassed oceans of research into what they call 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving (across the ages and genders ) and 85% at getting on well others-all obviously statistical impossibilities.We rose-tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations. We become defensive when criticized, and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem. We strut around thinking we’re hot stuff.Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key study into self-enhancement and attractiveness. Rather than have people simply rate their beauty compared with others, he asked them to identify an original photograph of themselves from a lineup including versions that had been morphed to appear more and less attractive. Visual recognition, reads the study, is “an automatic psychological process, occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation”.If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image-which most did-they genuinely believed it was really how they looked.Epley found no significant gender difference in responses. Nor was there any evidence that those who self-enhanced the most (that is, the participants who thought the most positively doctored pictures were real) were doing so to make up for profound insecurities. In fact, those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other markers for having higher self-esteem. “I don’t think the findings that we have are any evidence of personal delusion,”says Epley. “It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves.” If you are depressed, you won’t be self-enhancing.Knowing the results of Eplet’s study, it makes sense that manypeople hate photographs of themselves so viscerally — on one level, they don’t even recognize the person in the picture as themselves. Facebook, therefore, is a self-enhancer’s paradise, where people can share only the flukiest of flattering photos, the cream of their wit style Beauty, intellect and lifestyles. It’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest, says Catalina Toma of Wisconsin-Madison University, “but they portray an idealized version of themselves”. (People are much more likely to out-and-out lie on dating websites, to an audience of strangers.)26. According to the first paragraph, social psychologists have found that .[A] our self-ratings are unrealistically high[B] illusory superiority is baseless effect[C] our need for leadership is unnatural[D] self-enhancing strategies are ineffective27. Visual recognition is believed to be people’s .[A] rapid watching[B] conscious choice[C] intuitive response[D] automatic self-defense28. Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to .[A] underestimate their insecurities[B] believe in their attractiveness[C] cover up their depressions[D] oversimplify their illusions29. The word “viscerally” (Line 2, Para.6) is closest in meaning to .[A] instinctively[B] occasionally[C] particularly[D] aggressively30. It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer’s paradise because people can .[A] present their dishonest profiles[B] define their traditional life styles[C] share their intellectual pursuits[D] withhold their unflattering sidesText 3The concept of man versus machine is at least as old as the industrial revolution, but this phenomenon tends to be most acutely felt during economic downturns and fragile recoveries. And yet, it would be a mistake to think we are right now simply experiencing the painful side ofa boom and bust cycle. Certain jobs have gone away for good, outmoded by machines. Since technology has such an insatiable appetite for eating up human jobs, this phenomenon will continue to restructure our economy in ways we can’t immediately foresee.When there is exponential improvement in the price and performance of technology, jobs that were once thought to be immune from automation suddenly become threatened. This argument has attracted a lot of attention, via the success of the book Race against the Machine, by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, who both hail from MIT’s Center for Digital Business.This is a powerful argument, and a scary one. And yet, John Hagel, author of The Power of Pull and other books, says Brynjolfsson and McAfee miss the reason why these jobs are so vulnerable to technology in the first place.Hagel says we have designed jobs in the U.S. that tend to be “tightly scripted”and “highly standardized”ones that leave no room for “individual initiative or creativity.” In short, these are the types of jobs that machines can perform much better at than human beings. That is how we have put a giant target sign on the backs of American workers, Hagel says.It’s time to reinvent the formula for how work is conducted, sincewe are still relying on a very 20th century notion of work, Hagel says. In our rapidly changing economy, we more than ever need people in the workplace who can take initiative and exercise their imagination “to respond to unexpected events.”That’s not something machines are good at. They are designed to perform very predictable activities.As Hagel notes, Brynjolfsson and McAfee indeed touched on this point in their book. We need to reframe race against the machine as race with the machine. In other words, we need to look at the ways in which machines can augment human labor rather than replace it. So then the problem is not really about technology, but rather, “how do we innovate our institutions and our work practices?”31. According to the first paragraph, economic downturns would .[A] ease the competition of man vs. machine[B] highlight machines’ threat to human jobs[C] provoke a painful technological revolution[D] outmode our current economic structure32. The authors of Race Against the Machine argue that .[A] technology is diminishing man’s job opportunities[B] automation is accelerating technological development[C] certain jobs will remain intact after automation[D] man will finally win the race against machine33. Hagel argues that jobs in the U.S. are often .[A] performed by innovative minds[B] scripted with an individual style[C] standardized without a clear target[D] designed against human creativity34. According to the last paragraph, Brynjolfsson and McAfee discussed .[A] the predictability of machine behavior in practice[B] the formula for how work is conducted efficiently[C] the ways machines replace human labor in modern times[D] the necessity of human involvement in the workplace35. Which of the following could be the most appropriate title for the text?[A] How to Innovate Our Work Practices[B] Machines will Replace Human Labor[C] Can We Win the Race Against Machines[D] Economic Downturns Stimulate InnovationsText 4When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads, railways, broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that? To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame. We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth. Then there is the scale of the typical housing project. It is hard to jostle for attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure projects, so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere. But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged. This government does not want to see a return to large-scale provision of council housing, so it is naturally wary of measures that will lead us down that route.Nevertheless, the affordable housing situation is desperate. Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this. It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that. The communities minister, Don Foster, has hinted that George Osborne may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt. The cap, introduced in 2012 as part of the Housing Revenue Account reform, hasbeen a major issue for the sector. Evidence shows that 60,000 extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted, increasing GDP by 0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment, which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.Finally, they should look at the way in which public sector land is released. Currently up-front payments are required, putting a financial burden on the housing provider. A more positive stimulus would be to encourage a system where the land is made available and maintained as a long-term equity stake in the project.But it is not just down to the government. While these measures would be welcome in the short term, we must face up to the fact that the existing £4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing, set to expire in 2015, is unlikely to be extended beyond then. The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if it returns to power. The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to the era of large-scale public grants. We need to adjust to this changing climate. This means that affordable housing specialists like Wates Living Space have to create a whole new way of working in partnership with registered providers. Wehave to be prepared to take on more of the risk during the development phase, driving down the cost to deliver high-quality affordable housing and, most importantly, developing alternative funding models to help achieve this.While the government's commitment to long-term funding may have changed, the very pressing need for more affordable housing is real and is not going away. The comprehensive spending review provides the opportunity to start moving us in the right direction - stimulating investment in new supply and quickly delivering tangible benefits to local economies. It also helps create the space to develop a long-term sustainable strategy for housing.36. The author believes that the housing sector .[A] has attracted much attention[B] has lost its real value in economy[C] shoulders too much responsibility[D] involves certain political factors37. It can be learned that affordable housing has .[A] suffered government biases[B] increased its home supply[C] offered spending opportunities[D] disappointed the government38. According to Paragraph 5, George Osborne may .[A] prepare to reduce housing stock debt[B] release a lifted GDP growth forecast[C] allow greater government debt for housing[D] stop local authorities from building homes39. It can be inferred that a stable rental environment would .[A] lower the costs of registered providers[B] relieve the minister of responsibilities[C] contribute to funding new developments[D] lessen the impact of government interference40. The author believes that after 2015, the government may .[A] implement more policies to support housing[B] stop generous funding to the housing sector[C] renew the affordable housing grants programme[D] review the need for large-scale public grantsPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer questions by finding information from the right column that corresponds to each of the marked detailsgiven in the left column.

(10 points)Emerging in the late Sixties and reaching a peak in the Seventies, Land Art was one of a range of new forms, including Body Art, Performance Art, Action Art and Installation Art, which pushed art beyond the traditional confines of the studio and gallery. Rather than portraying landscape, land artists used the physical substance of eland itself as their medium.The British land artist, typified by Richard Long’s piece, was not only more domestically scaled, but a lot quirkier than its American counterpart. Indeed, while you might assume that an exhibition of Land Art would consist only of records of works rather than the works themselves, Long’s photograph of his work is the work. Since his “action” is in the past the photograph is its sole embodiment.That might seem rather an obscure point, but it sets the tone for an exhibition that contains a lot of black-and-white photographs and relatively few natural objects.Long is Britain’s best-known Land Artist and his Stone Circle, a perfect ring of purplish rocks from Portishead beach laid out on the gallery floor, represents the elegant, rarefied side of the form. The BoyleFamily, on the other hand, stands for its dirty, urban aspect. Comprising artists Mark Boyle and Joan Hills and their children, they recreated random sections of the British landscape on gallery walls. Their Olaf Street Study, a square of brick-strewn waste ground, is one of the few works here to embrace the mundanity that characterizes most of our experience of the landscape most of the time.Parks feature, particularly in the earlier works, such as John Hilliard’s very funny. Across the Park, in which a long-haired stroller is variously smiled at by a pretty girl and unwittingly assaulted in a sequence of images that turn out to be different parts of the same photograph.Generally however British land artists preferred to get away from towns, gravitating towards landscapes that are traditionally considered beautiful such as the Lake District or the Wiltshire Downs. While it probably wasn’t apparent at the time, much of this work is permeated by a spirit of romantic escapism that the likes of Wordsworth would have readily understood. Derek Jarman’s yellow-tinted film Towards Avebury, a collection of long, mostly still shots of the Wiltshire landscape, evokes a tradition of English landscape painting stretching from Samuel Palmer to Paul Nash.In the case of Hamish Fulton, you can’t help feeling that the Scottishartist has simply found a way of making his love of walking pay. A typical work, such as Seven Days, consists of a single beautiful black-and-white photograph taken on an epic walk, with the mileage and number of days taken listed beneath. British Land Art as shown in this well selected, but relatively modestly scaled exhibition wasn’t about imposing on the landscape, more a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art created passing through. It had its origins in the great outdoors, but the results were as gallery-bound as the paintings of Turner and Constable.Section III Translation46.

(15 points)Most people would define optimism as being endlessly happy, with a glass that’s perpetually half full. But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality,”says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor. According to Ben-Shahar, realistic optimists are those who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best.Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercises. When he feels down- say, after giving a bad lecturehe grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction. He analyzes the weak lecture, learning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn’t. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life, one lecture really doesn’t matter.Section IV WritingPart A47.

In addition, standard co sting can be difficult to apply in dynamic situations.10 AThe second statement is talking about flow cost accounting, not input/output analysis.13DTarget 1 is a financial target and so assesses economy factors. Target 2 is measuring the rate of work handled by staff which is anefficiency measure. Target 3 is assessing output, so is a measure of effectiveness.11 BIn comparison to participative budgeting, an advantage of non-participative budgeting is that it should be less time consuming, as less collaboration will be required in order to produce the budgets.15CThe target costing process always begins with the target selling price being set. The required profit is then determine deductedfrom the target selling price to estimate the target cost. The target cost is then compared to the estimated current co and the cost gap is then calculated.12 AThis is a description of an incremental budget.17ANew profit figures before salaryGaidd manager: $180,000 x 1 • 3 = $234,000Average manager: $180,000 x 1 • 2 = $216,000Poor: $180,000 x 1 • 1 = $198,000EV of profits = (0 • 35 x $234,000) + (0 • 45 x $216,000) + (0 • 2 x $198,000) = $81,900 + $97,200 + $39,600 = $218,700Deduct salary cost and EV with manager = $178,700Therefore do not employ manager as profits will fall by $1,300.13 BSet-up costs per production run = $140,000/28 = $5,000Cost per inspection = $80,000/8 = $10,000Other overhead costs per labour hour = $96,000/48,000 = $2Overheads costs of product D:$Set-up costs (15 x $5,000) 75,000Inspection costs (3 x $10,000) 30,000Other overheads (40,000 x $2) 80,000-85,000 _-Overhead cost per unit = 185,000/4,000 = $46 • 2519AThis is an example of feedforward control as the manager is using a forecast to assist in making a future decision.20AIf demand is inelastic or the product life cycle is short, a price skimming approach would be more appropriate.Section B= n ■ JJ ■■ ■ ■.a1 Chair Co(a) Learning curve formula = y = axCumulative average time per unit for 8 units: Y = 12 x 8-• 415Tffere016e8(§u48idrlotivE total time for 8 units = 40 Cumulative average time per unit for 7 units: Y = 12 x 7-• 415There3re37umuiotive total time for 7 units = Therefore incremental time for 8th unit = 40-50315837 • 45964 -503158 hoursTotal labour cost for 8th unit =3• 043518 x $15 = $45• 65277Material and overheads cost per unit = $230 Therefore total cost per unit = Therefore price per unit = $413$275 • 65277 -4791537 • 45964 hours = 3• 043518 hours.(b) (i)(ii )Glam CoActual learningC^nulative number of seats produced 1 2 4 8Cumulative totalhours 12 • 534 • 3 Cumulative average hours per unit 12 • 12 • 12 •12 • 5 5 x r5 x r 2 5 x r 3Using algebra: 34 • 3 = 8 x (12• 5 xr 3)4 • 2875 = (12 • 5 x r 3) 0= 343 =D 3The learning effect was 70% as compared to the forecast rate of 75%, meaning that the labour force learnt more quickly than anticipated.Adjusted priceThe adjusted price charged will be lower than the original price calculated in part (a).

资料（一）：鑫龙制药（集团）有限公司（以下简称鑫龙制药或公司）是一家较早成立于我国东北地区的大型制药企业集团，主要从事抗生素原料药及制剂的生产和销售，属于医药行业中的化学药品制造业。
其产品涵盖抗生素原料药及制剂、中成药等系列，主要产品市场占有率近年来稳居全国第一位，是少数形成一定规模并在行业内享有一定知名度的化学药品制造公司。
通过长期努力，鑫龙制药逐步形成了研发、生产、销售齐头并进的企业发展格局。
虽然其产品以低级仿制药品为主，技术含量不高，导致在原料采购、销售方面的定价能力有限，但相比国内其他公司则仍具有较强的研发能力，研发并注册了药品监管部门认可的诸多国家级医药专利，培养了一批精通药事法规、药品生产的专业人员。
鑫龙制药不仅拥有成熟的销售渠道，同时锻炼出了一支人员稳定、市场营销意识强、经营能力突出的管理团队。
但随着规模持续扩大，资产负债率逐年上升，面临较大财务风险。
随着人口老龄化、居民健康意识的增强以及新医改政策的实施，医药市场需求持续增长。
虽然我国化学制药企业数量多，但存在着规模普遍较小、知识产权亟待保护等问题。
大量企业以低端化学原料药制造为主，药品品种雷同且药性上相差无几，创新能力不够，国际市场竞争力较弱。
近年来国家出台多项政策支持制药企业加快整合和鼓励技术创新，行业集中度有所提高，行业前百强企业凭借先进入市场的优势，较早完成了专利的积累，并拥有成熟的销售渠道、成本优势和较高的品牌认知度，因而这些制药企业的市场份额达45%以上。

PROBLEM A： The Keep—Right-Except-To-Pass Rule靠右除了超车规则In countries where driving automobiles on the right is the rule （that is， USA， China and most other countries except for Great Britain， Australia， and some former British colonies）， multi—lane freeways often employ a rule that requires drivers to drive in the right-most lane unless they are passing another vehicle， in which case they move one lane to the left， pass， and return to their former travel lane。
在一些开车靠右行驶的国家(美国,中国和大多数的其他国家，除了英国,澳大利亚和一些英国的殖民地），多车道高速公路通常采用一个规则，要求司机在大多数高速公路上开车时靠右行驶，除非他们在超车时，这种情况下，他们要移到左边的车道,超车然后回到他们从前的车道。
Build and analyze a mathematical model to analyze the performance of this rule in light and heavy traffic. You may wish to examine tradeoffs between traffic flow and safety，the role of under- or over-posted speed limits (that is， speed limits that are too low or too high）, and/or other factors that may not be explicitly called out in this problem statement。

5 2014 AICPA Newly Released Questions – Financial
5. CPA-08475
Gold Co. purchased equipment from Marshall Co. on July 1. Gold paid Marshall $10,000 cash and signed a $100,000 noninterest-bearing note payable, due in three years. Gold recorded a $24,868 discount on notes payable related to this transaction. What is the acquired cost of the equipment on July 1?
a. $75,132
b. $85,132
c. $100,000
d. $110,000
AICPA Difficulty Rating: Medium
Question Title: AICPA Newly Released 2014
Lecture to be assigned to: Financial 10
Topic to be assigned to: 6-Other liabilities and debt covenants
Page reference (page # and outline point): F10-29; II Notes Payable and Receivable
ANSWER:
Choice "b" is correct. A good approach to answering this question is through the use of a journal entry. We know the following from reading the question:
l●
Notes payable will be credited for $100,000, because that is the face value of the note. l●
Cash will be credited for $10,000, because it was paid by Gold Co. to Marshall Co. l●
Discount on notes payable will be debited, because the discount offsets the face value of the note. l● · Because Gold Co. is purchasing equipment, the account for equipment will be debited.
The journal entry can be prepared as follows:
Equipment $xxxx
Discount on notes payable 24,868
Notes payable $100,000
Cash 10,000
After completing the journal entry for all the known accounts, we can then balance the entry to determine that equipment should be recorded at a cost of $85,132 ($100,000 + $10,000 – $24,868 = $85,132).
Choice "a" is incorrect. Because Gold Co. gave Marshall $10,000 in addition to the notes payable, the $10,000 is included in the cost of the asset.
Choice "c" is incorrect. The note payable is recorded at the face value of the note, but the asset acquired is recorded at the present value of the obligation plus any cash paid in the transaction. Choice "d" is incorrect. The cost of the asset should be recorded at the present value of the future payments of the note payable obligation and any cash paid in the transaction.。
