  • What is the difference between the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows?

    They both include information on the operating and financial events of the business, but the statement of cash flows goes a step further in providing information on investing activities as well. So why do we have a comprehensive income statement if the cash flows statement seems to be quite viable on it's own?

    Please be as extensive as possible, i'd like a great understanding of this. Best answer gets 10 points

  • Using Z-scores/normal distribution?

    A sales person is monitoring prices of competitors and reports a five number summary with values: $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 for the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum, respectively. The sample of competitor prices have a mean value of $3.50 and standard deviation of $0.50. Using z-scores/normal distribution, the following criterion would be used to identify outliers:

    (a) Values less than $1.50 or greater than $3.50

    (b) Values less than $2 or greater than $4

    (c) Values less than $2 or greater than $5

    (d) No outliers would be identified
