The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many retailers to shut down their business, layoff their employees, and drain their bank accounts.

While some federal funding will help these businesses stay afloat, many will have to adjust to new ways of operation once the quarantines are lifted.

Several ways can be used to reframe a retailer’s business model. Form reconfiguration; Time reconfiguring; Place reconfiguring; Possession reconfiguring. Using at least three of these methods of reframing, describe how a retailer of your choice will adjust its business model to be successful in reopening.

Choose a specific retailer from one of these categories:
Theme Park; Salon; Hotel; Beauty Supply Store; Sports Bar

A study to determine haemoglobin due to the strength of medication categorised into 5 groups were conducted on 27 women aged 18-40 years. The table below displays the data and the relevant descriptive quantities. Medication strength A B C D E 0.8 0.7 1.2 1.0 0.6 0.6 0.8 1.0 0.9 0.4 0.6 0.5 0.9 0.9 0.4 0.5 0.5 1.2 1.1 0.7 0.6 1.3 0.7 0.3 0.9 0.8 0.7 a) Normality assumption was checked, and it was not normally distributed. Hence, determine if the five groups of medication strength have the same median haemoglobin level? [5 marks] b) Write a brief summary of what the result show. [2 marks]

Using the below data:

Mass (g) of copper gluconate: 1.0 g

Mass (g) of wrapper: 0.6 g

Mass (g) of wrapper + Cu: 0.9 g

Mass (g) of Cu: 0.3 g

Mass (g) of gluconate: 0.7 g

1. Determine the chemical formula of copper gluconate?

2. Calculate the percent composition of copper and the percent composition of gluconate in the compound copper gluconate?

3. Create a Experimental Chemical Formula:

6 In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Joe Louis handily defeated a series of opponents who came to be known as the “Bum of the Month Club.” Use what you know about rank-order tournaments to explain how this came about.

The accompanying table provides data for​ tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide​ (CO) contents in a certain brand of cigarette. Find the best regression equation for predicting the amount of nicotine in a cigarette. Why is it​ best? Is the best regression equation a good regression equation for predicting the nicotine​ content? Why or why​ not?

A. Nicotine = __ + (__) Tar + (__) CO

B. Nicotine = __ + (__) Tar

C. Nicotine = __ + (__) CO

A car company claims that its new SUV gets better gas mileage than its competitor’s SUV. A random sample of 35 of its SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 12.6 miles per gallon (mpg). The population standard deviation is known to be 0.4 mpg. A random sample of 31 competitor’s SUVs has a mean gas mileage of 12.4 mpg. The population standard deviation for the competitor is known to be 0.3 mpg. Test the company’s claim at the 0.05 level of significance.

1. Consider the following production function for bus transportation in a particular city:

Q= a

Where Fuel input in gallons = F

Capital input in number of busses = K

Labor input in worker hours = L

Output in millions of bus miles = Q

We estimate the various parameters as follows using historical data:

                                    α=0.0012, β1=0.45, β2=0.2, β3=0.3

a) Determine output elasticities for Labor.

b) Suppose that labor hours increase by 10%. By what percentage will output increase?

A movie theater faces the following demand curves: Seniors: Ps = 27-Q Adults: Pa = 33 - Q The theater has a fixed cost of 50, and a constant marginal cost of 1 per ticket. a) If the movie theater uses segmenting, calculate the ticket prices charged to adults and seniors. b) How much profit does the movie theater earn from segmenting? c) Illustrate the profit maximizing choices on both inverse demand functions along with CS and profit. d) Suppose the theater is legally prevented from using price discrimination. Calculate and illustrate the aggregate inverse demand. What price will they charge per ticket? How much profit will they earn? e) Find the total consumer surplus without price discrimination and illustrate it on the aggregate inverse demand. Under which scenario are the consumers better off?

Gary Theater is in the Hoosier Mall. A cashier's booth is located near the entrance to the theater. Two cashiers are employed. One works from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., the other from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. Each cashier is bonded. The cashiers receive cash from customers and operate a machine that ejects serially numbered tickets. The rolls of tickets are inserted and locked into the machine by the theater manager at the beginning of each cashier's shift. After purchasing a ticket, the customer takes the ticket to a doorperson stationed at the entrance of the theater lobby some 60 feet from the cashier's booth. The doorperson tears the ticket in half, admits the customer, and returns the ticket stub to the customer. The other half of the ticket is dropped into a locked box by the doorperson. At the end of each cashier's shift, the theater manager removes the ticket rolls from the machine and makes a cash count. The cash count sheet is initialed by the cashier. At the end of the day, the manager deposits the receipts in total in a bank night deposit vault located in the mall. In addition, the manager sends copies of the deposit slip and the initialed cash count sheets to the theater company treasurer for verification and to the company's accounting department. Receipts from the first shift are stored in a safe located in the manager's office. (a)Identify the internal control principles and their application to the cash receipts transactions of Gary Theater. (b)If the doorperson and cashier decided to collaborate to misappropriate cash, what actions might they take?
