Speed Co. is an established recreation boat dealer. Their service center provides all scheduled maintenance services at no additional charge for any customer who purchases a boat and for as long as that customer owns the boat. The customer also may choose to have the maintenance services performed by others dealership. Neither Speed Co. nor any other dealer sells the boat without the same type of lifetime maintenance services. However, for customers who did not purchase their boat from Speed Co, they can purchase the maintenance services separately. The boats are sold subject to a limited warranty and there are no refund rights in the arrangement. Comment on the unit of accounting for the automobile and the maintenance services

Step 1
This means that when a customer purchases a boat from Speed Co., they are purchasing the physical boat and all the rights and ownership associated with it. The boat is the primary item being sold. The maintenance services, on the other hand, are not the primary Show more…

Waterskiing and wakeboarding are two popular water-sports. Finding a model that best suits your intended needs, whether it is waterskiing, wakeboading, or general boating, can be a difficult task. WaterSki magazine did extensive testing for 88 boats and provided a wide variety of information to help consumers select the best boat. A portion of the datal they reported for 20 boats with a length of between 20 and 22 feet follows ( WaterSkl January/February 2006 ). Beam is the maximum width of the boat in inches, HP is the horsepower of the boat's engine, and TopSpeed is the top speed in miles per hour (mph). $\begin{array}{l}{\text { a. Using these data, develop an estimated regression equation relating the top speed with }} \\ {\text { the boat's beam and horsepower rating. }}\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{l}{\text { b. The Svfara } S \vee 609 \text { has a beam of } 85 \text { inches and an engine with a } 330 \text { horsepower }} \\ {\text { rating. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (a) to estimate the }} \\ {\text { mean top speed for the Svfara SV 609. }}\end{array}$
A canoe can travel at a maximum speed of 2.5 m/s relative to the water. The canoe is traveling on a river whose current travels at 3.2 m/s relative to the shore. a) What is the velocity of the canoer relative to the shore if they are paddling as hard as they can downstream (in the direction the water flows)? b) What is the velocity of the canoer relative to the shore if they are paddling as hard as they can upstream (against the flow of the water)? c) The canoer decides they've had enough for one day, so they point their canoe straight at the shore and paddle as hard as they can. What is their velocity relative to the shore? Hint: How the person paddles is what determines their velocity relative to the water.

The speed that a sailboat is capable of sailing is determined by three factors: its total length $L,$ the surface area $A$ of its sails, and its displacement $V$ (the volume of water it displaces), as shown in the sketch. In general, a sailboat is capable of greater speed if it is longer, has a larger sail area, or displaces less water. To make sailing races fair, only boats in the same "class" can qualify to race together. For a certain race a boat is considered to qualify if $$0.30 L+0.38 A^{1 / 2}-3 V^{1 / 3} \leq 16$$ where $L$ is measured in feet, $A$ in square feet, and $V$ in cubic feet. Use this inequality to answer the following questions. (a) A sailboat has length 60 $\mathrm{ft}$ , sail area 3400 $\mathrm{ft}^{2}$ , and dis- placement 650 $\mathrm{ft}^{3} .$ Does this boat qualify for the race? (b) A sailboat has length 65 $\mathrm{ft}$ and displaces 600 $\mathrm{ft}^{3} .$ What is the largest possible sail area that could be used and still allow the boat to qualify for this race?
