The Lyric Opera of Chicago is one of the largest and best-managed opera companies in the United States. Managing opera productions requires advance planning, including the development of scenery, costumes, and stage properties and the sale of tickets. To measure how well the company is operating in any given year, management must apply accrual accounting to these and other transactions. At year-end, April 30, 2011, Lyric Opera’s balance sheet showed deferred production costs and other assets of $1,978,322 and deferred ticket and other revenue of$12,710,639. What accounting policies and adjusting entries are applicable to these accounts? Why are they important to Lyric Opera’s management?

Recall the table discussed before that gives the price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States (in dollars) for the years $2003$ through $2011$. Another table discussed gives the price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States (in dollars) for the years $1990$ through $2002$.

By using $1990$ as the base year, construct a simple index for the prices of a gallon of regular gasoline in both tables.

Listed below are nine technical accounting terms used in this chapter:

What is visual hierarchy in map design? How is the hierarchy related to the map purpose?

Modern vacuum pumps make it easy to attain pressures of the order of $10^{-13}$ atm in the laboratory. Consider a volume of air and treat the air as an ideal gas. (a) At a pressure of $9.00 \times 10^{-14}$ atm and an ordinary temperature of 300.0 K, how many molecules are present in a volume of $1.00 \mathrm{cm}^{3}$? (b) How many molecules would be present at the same temperature but at 1.00 atm instead?

Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and its compounds can be as ordinary as beach sand. However, silicon also plays an indispensable role in modern devices such as computers, cell phones, semiconductors, and solar panels. A recent technology incorporates silicon in nanometer-sized particles called quantum dots that act as luminescent labels for pancreatic cancer cells. Identify the electron configuration of a silicon atom.
