Moonstay’s accountants originally charged $43.4 million of cash expenditures in 1997 to the restructuring accrual account established in late 1996. According to the review conducted by the two CPA firms, only $21.2 million of cash paid in 1997 actually related to the restructuring of Moonstay. What was the effect on the 1997 reported earnings of improperly charging (debiting) $22 million to the restructuring accrual account? What are some of the accounts that probably should have been debited instead?

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
