The following percentages apply to Stuart Company for Year 3 and Year 4:

Required
Assuming that sales were $515,000 in Year 3 and $585,000 in Year 4, prepare income statements for the two years.

Question 3

Again ignore any trend or seasonality in the data.  Suppose the company uses exponential smoothing to make forecasts.  

1. What are the forecasts for periods Q2 Year 1 through Q4 Year 5 assuming alpha = 0.3. Assume that the forecast for Q1 Year 1 was 25 units.
2. What are the forecasts for periods Q2 Year 1 through Q4 Year 5 assuming alpha = 0.8.  Assume that the forecast for Q2 Year 1 was 25 units.
3. Compare the accuracies of the forecasts in (a) and (b) using Mean Absolute Percent Error.  Which value of alpha gives us the better forecasts?

Question 4

Now make adjustments for trend and seasonality.

1. Quantify the trend in the time series.  What does the trend equation tell you?  
2. Quantify the seasonality in the time series by calculating seasonality indexes.  What do these indexes tell you?
3. Using the trend and the seasonality information from (a) and (b) make forecasts from Q1 Year 1 through Q4 Year 5.  
4. Use MAPE to calculate the accuracy of your forecasts.

Question 5

1. Compare the preferred method in Question 2, the preferred method in Question 3, and the method in Question 4.  Which one would you choose on the basis of MAPE?
2. Using the method in Question 4 make forecasts for the 4 quarters of Year 6.

Complete the table below by adding the yearly costs and cost of labor for years one through six for eMAR A and eMAR B. What are the six-year projected total costs for eMAR A and eMAR B? Cumulative costs (answer table) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 eMAR A eMAR B Review the General Hospital barcoded eMAR implementation power point slides that are to be presented to the Selection Committee (found under 1: Overview & Resources along with this activity document). Then answer the following questions.

15. Slide three mentions that a Centralized data repository exists between General Hospital, where the medication orders are placed and the medications are dispensed, and Lakeview Pharmacy, where the medication orders are filled and barcoded. After reading the resource Health Information Exchange, explain how a Centralized data repository may impact the eMAR selection and implementation process.

16. On slide nine barcoded medication carts were scored by end-users for workflow, ergonomic, and durability. Based on the end-user score, which system would you recommend?

A garage is installing a new​ "bubble-wash" car wash. It will promote the car wash as a fun activity for the​ family, and it is expected that the novelty of this approach will boost sales in the medium term. If the cost of capital is 88​%,by using the data in the table​ above, calculate the net present value​ (NPV) of this project.

A 30 y male was delivered to andrology department for medical evaluation due to ineffective sexual competency. His physical examination and interview with the specialized physician revealed some other symptoms that were related to wounds that won’t heal, unexplained weight loss, hair loss, lack of alertness and sometimes diarrhea.

I would like to know if the sex of a math student is a statistically significant factor in predicting average math exam scores. The following lists are exam scores for a math exam, separated by sex.

male 89 33 104 48 90 80 98 32 98 55 75 74 73 90 105 47 48 67 99 103 63

female 99 80 81 88 94 83 70 42 78 75

Perform a hypothesis test to determine whether the sex of a math student is statistically significant for performance on math tests. In other words, is there a statistically significant difference between the scores of these two groups of students?

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Also, state the meaning of your parameters.

(b) Perform the test. Use α = .05. Show your work. Clearly indicate the value of the test statistic. Be sure to mention the value of df if it is relevant. Also, make sure you clearly state your final answer to the question above.

(c) Compute an appropriate 95% confidence interval that would confirm your final answer from part (b). Explain why it confirms that answer.
