1)Which of the following best describes earnings quality?

Multiple Choice

• The correlation between current year earnings and historical earnings

• The ability of reported earnings to predict a company’s future earnings

• The effectiveness of management’s efforts toward income smoothing

• The effectiveness of management’s efforts in altering assumptions and estimates

2)The Lakeshore Hotel's occupancy-days and custodial supplies expense over the last seven months were as follows: Occupancy- Days 18,809 Month March April May June July August September ak Custodial Supplies Expense $ 17,540 17,680 19,450 24,750 30,560 23,050 21,620 13,140 15,960 30,999 28,800 20,000 16,100 t aces Occupancy-days are a measure of the overall activity at the hotel. For example, when a guest stays at the hotel for three days, it is counted as three occupancy-days. Required: 1. Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for custodial supplies expense. (Round the "Fixed cost" to the nearest dollar amount and "Variable cost" to 2 decimal places.) 2. Using the cost formula you derived above, what amount of custodial supplies expense would you expect to be incurred at an occupancy level of 15,200 occupancy-days? (In your computations, round "Variable cost per unit" to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
