For an example of how to format this correctly, go to the Course Information module, click on Course Readings and Materials and see the correct style for the textbook. The Shaw & Barry (2013) text is your primary resource in this course. Assigned questions: Is drug testing an unwarranted invasion of employee privacy? Which is more important--getting drugs out of the workplace or protecting the privacy of the employee? What about other health-threatening activities, i.e. smoking outside of working hours, unprotected sex, etc. Should employers be able to question or test employees or potential employees about these activities? Should employers be allowed to use polygraph tests to "screen" out potentially costly employees who may engage in illegal drug use or any of these activities? Should employers be allowed to require that applicants or employees give the employer access to digital information, such as Facebook or Twitter? Discuss thoroughly and defend your answer using one of the theories that are the cornerstones of the course. Make sure that you have adequately dealt with all the subtleties of the particular theory. The answers to these questions can be found in the text but merely quoting from the text or paraphrasing the text will earn minimal credit--the answers should be in your own words and should involve some explanation and discussion of what these concepts mean.
Question 3
Problem 3 You have been asked by the President of Mega Corporation to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new machine. The machine?s basic price is $50,000 and it will cost another $10,000 to modify it for special use by Mega Corporation. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class. It will be sold after four years for $10,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital of $2,000. The purchase of new machine will not affect revenues, but it is expected to save Mega Corporation $20,000 per year in before-tax operating costs (mainly labor). Mega?s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Required: a. What is the Corporation?s initial investment outlay if it acquires the machine? That is, what are the Year 0 cash flows? b. What are the incremental operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, 3, and 4? c. What is the terminal cash flow in Year 4? d. If the project?s cost of capital is 10 percent, should Mega purchase the machine? Evaluate the project based on both NPV and IRR methods. Meta Corporation?s 2007 financial statements are shown below: Meta Corporation Income Statement for the period ending December 31, 2007 (Thousands of Dollars) Sales $ 12,000 Operating costs 10,261 EBIT $ 1,739 Interest expense 339 EBT 1,400 Taxes (40%) 560 Net Income 840 Dividends (60%) $ 504 Additions to retained earnings 336 Meta Corporation Balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 (Thousands of Dollars) Cash $ 600 Accounts payable $2,400 Receivables 3,600 Notes payable 1,157 Inventories 4,200 Accruals 840 TCA $ 8,400 TCL $ 4,397 Mortgage bonds 1,667 Common stock 667 Net fixed assets 7,200 Retained earnings 8,869 TA $15,600 TL&E $15,600 Suppose 2008 sales are projected to increase by 20% over 2007 sales. Determine the additional funds needed. Assume that Meta Corporation is operating at full capacity in 2007. Construct the pro forma financial statements using the percent of sales method. Use an interest rate of 14% on the debt balance at the beginning of the year. Explain the process of calculating interest for income statement purposes.
Question 4
On July 1, 2008 bonds of 4,000,000 face value of 13%, 20 year bonds are issued to yield 11%. Interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1 and the effective interest method is used. Required: 1. All entries from the issuance date through 12-31-09. Assume reversing entries are used. 2. The proper balance sheet presentation for the bonds payable at 12/31/09. 3. Answers to the following questions: a. What amount of interest expense will be reported for 2009? b. Will the bond interest expense reported in 2009 be the same as, greater than, or less than the amount that would be reported if the straight line method of amortization were used? c. Determine the total cost of borrowing over the life of the bond. d. Will total bond interest expense for the life of the bond be greater than, or less than the amount that would be reported if the straight line method of amortization were used? Note: To calculate the price of the bond you will need PV factors for 5.5% for 40 semi-annual periods. You can easily figure them out either using the formulas underlying the PV factors in the ch. 6 tables or doing the PV calc in excel. But to make your life a little easier, here are the factors: The single sum factor is 0.11746314 and the ordinary annuity factor is 16.0461247 Given the length of the bond and it being semiannual interest, it would be useful to put together an excel sheet to do the effective interest amtz chart and see if things work out after 40 rows.
Question 5
BHS420 - Quantitative Reasoning Module 5 - SLP Correlational Methods For this assignment: Choose 4 articles from your literature review that specifically describe research conducted in your area of interest.

If you have any questions just let me know. VR, Demetrius,Natalia, I think that you missed understood the assignment. You were to read 4 articles on breast cancer research. Then complete the following: Write one paragraph about each article, briefly describing the research procedure, who did the research, where and how the sample was obtained, what procedures the research entailed, a description of the results, and any confounding factors. In the final paragraph of the paper, discuss which of your research studies seems to yield the most meaningful and valid results, and which seems to be the weakest or most questionable. Be sure to explain why think so, using the information you have learned in this course. I have attached an example of what I have done before. If you have any questions please let me know.
