1-Pisa Pizza, a seller of frozen pizza, is considering introducing a healthier version of its pizza that will be low in cholesterol and contain no trans fats. The firm expects that sales of the new pizza will be $20 million per year. While many of these sales will be to new customers, Pisa Pizza estimates that 40% will come from customers who switch to the new, healthier pizza instead of buying the original version.

a. Assume customers will spend the same amount on either version. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza?

b. Suppose that 50% of the customers who will switch from Pisa Pizza’s original pizza to its healthier pizza will switch to another brand if Pisa Pizza does not introduce a healthier pizza. What level of incremental sales is associated with introducing the new pizza in this case?

 

2-Cellular Access, Inc. is a cellular telephone service provider that reported net income of $250 million for the most recent fiscal year. The firm had depreciation expenses of $100 million, capital expenditures of $200 million, and no interest expenses. Working capital increased by $10 million. Calculate the free cash flow for Cellular Access for the most recent fiscal year.

 

 

3-A bicycle manufacturer currently produces 300,000 units a year and expects output levels to remain steady in the future. It buys chains from an outside supplier at a price of $2 a chain. The plant manager believes that it would be cheaper to make these chains rather than buy them. Direct in-house production costs are estimated to be only $1.50 per chain. The necessary machinery would cost $250,000 and would be obsolete after 10 years. This investment could be depreciated to zero for tax purposes using a 10-year straight-line depreciation schedule. The plant manager estimates that the operation would require additional working capital of $50,000 but argues that this sum can be ignored since it is recoverable at the end of the 10 years. Expected proceeds from scrapping the machinery after 10 years are $20,000.

If the company pays tax at a rate of 35% and the opportunity cost of capital is 15%, what is the net present value of the decision to produce the chains in-house instead of purchasing them from the supplier?

1. A researcher studying lifespan categorizes individuals into single, married, divorced, or widowed. What type of variable measurement is this?
2. A cognitive scientist places her subjects into categories based on how anxious they tell her that they are feeling: “not anxious,” “mildly anxious,” “moderately anxious,” and “severely anxious,” and she uses the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3 to label categories where lower numbers indicate less anxiety. What type of variable measurement is this? Are the categories mutually exclusive?
3. A Physician diagnoses the presence or absence of disease (i.e., yes or no). What type of variable measurement is this?
4. A person weighing 200 lbs. is considered to be twice as heavy as a person weighing 100 lbs. In this case, what type of measurement is body weight?
5. A nurse takes measurements of body temperature on patients and reports them in units of degrees Farenheit as part of a study. What type of variable measurement is this?
6. Patients rate their experience in the emergency room on a five point scale from poor to excellent ( 1 = very poor, 2 = not very good, 3 = neither good nor bad, 4 = quite good, and 5 = excellent). What type of variable measurement is this? Is the difference between a 1 and a 2 necessarily the same as the difference between a 3 and a 4? Explain briefly.

Part 2: Statistics (1/2 page)

Given what you’ve learned in this module about the meaning of “statistics,” choose one of the examples from Part I (A-F), and raise a relevant question of your own that could be answered by a statistician. Then without answering your own question, explain how a pattern could be studied or a useful prediction made based on data that are to be collected.

Part 3: Quantitative vs. Qualitative Data (approximately 1–1.5 pages)

A health scientist wishes to measure how well participants diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are coping. Explain how a variable such as coping could be measured quantitatively or qualitatively.

Congratulations! Your boss has just given you the task of helping organize the training for new staff that are coming in next week for their orientation. She mentioned that you will be expecting 10 new employees for the training, and she wants you to be in charge of the icebreakers, exercises, and games in the training room. She also added that you will be looking at a diverse group of new employees to be working with that day, so put your thinking cap on!

Based on what you have learned so far in our course, the text, and from experiences you have had leading up to this point, create the following that you will implement in the training of the new staff:

An opening icebreaker to get the group engaged and ready to start their training,

Two exercises to implement following key discussions that are had during training, and

One game to conclude the training session that involves all the new employees and covers key terms, points, and events about our company.

Remember, these new employees are part of the future of our company. Getting them excited from the start will only lead them to be even more productive for the company and help us produce more and higher quality of work.

You must use at least one outside resource, which could include the textbook, paraphrased or quoted material, or any useful resource you find. Regardless of which you choose to include, any and all must have accompanying APA citations. Your final plan should be a minimum of three page

HCI projects will gravitate on the design and testing the design of learning environments.

 

Design or improvement of a computer application to support; promote learning, identifying new means of using technology for fostering and assessing learning, and proposing new ways of integrating learning technologies with each other and into learning environments to foster and assess learning;

Enhancing understanding of how people learn and how to better foster and assess learning, especially in technology-rich learning environments that offer new opportunities for learning and through data collection and computational modeling of learners and groups of learners that can be done only in such environments.

 

Focus on Coding:

• Research of technologies supporting the learning to program
  • Bring half of page with the report
• Bring an innovative idea on ideal environment to support learning to program.

• • Express your idea in a diagram

   

  Basically, when we create a program, we always have an image in our heads of how the final product should look (at least a rough-draft).  We brainstorm, figuring out what technologies will be most useful for our application and what we intend to do, and so on.  She wants us to basically capture all the pre-processing stuff that goes into writing a program, and get all that down on paper.
