After reading the article, think about your last performance evaluation in janitorial services or a school-related evaluation. In your initial post, describe this evaluation. How did you feel walking out of that meeting with your manager or professor? Was it meaningful and effective? Did you have a clear understanding of your performance? Did you understand your goals and objectives?
Next, consider the “new keys to success” discussed in the article. Address the following additional questions in your initial post: Could your evaluation have been made clearer to you? Which “keys to success” would have assisted in your situation? Why?

John turned 19 and started college at Northern Colorado University after a year of community college. His father bought him a 2003 Honda Accord for $3,500 to drive while in school. John’s father promised him if he did not have any accident he would buy him a brand-new Ford Mustang GT once he finished his undergraduate degree.

  1. How much liability coverage (per person bodily injury liability, total liability, property damage liability) do you recommend for his 2003 Honda Accord? Give 3 reasons why.

3.List three positive cues in your work or school environment that encourage your desirable behaviors AND identify ways you can increase these cues from your environment AND/OR identify new positive cues that you can introduce into your environment.

4. Identify two people in your life who cue positive behavior. How do they accomplish this? Think about a person(s) in your life who cues negative behavior (you do not need to name them). How can you reduce the negative influence their cues have on your behavior?

A transportation commission studies driving times between two cities to determine whether the construction of a new highway reduced commute times. Times for 40 cars driving on the old highway and times for 50 cars driving on the new highway are obtained. A summary of the data obtained from the study is given below.

10,000 individuals are divided evenly into two groups. The treatment group is given a vaccine and the control group is given a placebo. 95 of the 5,000 individuals in the treatment group developed a disease. 125 of the 5,000 individuals in the control group developed a particular disease. A research team wants to determine whether the vaccine is effective in decreasing the incidence of disease. Does sufficient evidence exist to conclude that the proportion of developing a disease in individuals given the vaccine is less than that of individuals given a placebo?

a. What is the proportion of individuals in the treatment group that developed the disease? Type as: #.###

b. What is the proportion of individuals in the control group that developed the disease? Type as: #.###

c. What is the proportion of individuals in the overall group that developed the disease? Type as: #.###

V. Each of the following situations involves possible violations of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. For each situation, state what section of the Code is involved. Explain whether the action is a violation of that section, and explain the rationale for the rule. A. Colonial, Inc. has struggled financially and has not been able to pay the audit fee to its auditor, Shively and Starch, CPAs, for the 2018 and 2019 audits. Shively and Starch is currently planning the 2020 audit. B. Margo Rabil is a former partner of Howe and High, CPAs. Recently, she left the firm to become the chief operating officer of Gravy Town, Inc, which is an audit client of Howe and High. In her new role, Rabil has no responsibilities for financial reporting. HJowe and High made significant changes to the audit plan for the upcoming audit. C. Ben Parsley is the partner in charge of the audit of Eastern Gate Bank. Parsley is in the process of purchasing new lakefront property and has obtained mortgage financing from Eastern Gate. D. Ellen Grant is CPA, but not a partner, with three years of professional experience with James and Wallace, CPAs. She owns 25 shares of stock in an audit client of the firm, but she does not take part in the audit of the client, and the amount of stock is not material in relation to her total portfolio. E. Christian and Knight, a regional CPA firm, is performing consulting services to help management of Airtrans Services streamline its production operations. The fee for this engagement is a percentage of the cost savings that results once the new process is implemented. This is the only service that Christian and Knight provide for the client.

1.(i) Using the AD/AS model, discuss the changes to the economy that the Phillips curve explains well, and describe under what conditions the Phillips curve fails to explain economic behavior. Include graphs of the Phillips curve and the AD/AS model in your answer

2.(ii) In the late 1990s, the U.S. economy experienced a period of extremely low inflation and extremely low unemployment. Use the AD/AS model to explain what sort of change in the economy would cause this. Include a graphical analysis in your answer, and provide two examples of what might bring about this event.

Numerous studies have shown that watching too much television hurts school grades. Others have argued that television is not necessarily a bad thing for children (Psychology Today, October 22, 2012). Like books and stories, television not only entertains, it also exposes a child to new information about the world. While watching too much television is harmful, a little bit may actually help. Researcher Matt Castle gathers information on the grade point average (GPA) of 28 middle school children and the number of hours of television they watched per week. A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table.

a. Estimate a quadratic regression model where the GPA of middle school children is regressed on hours and hours-squared. (Negative values for regression coefficients should be indicted by a minus sign. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

constant:

hours:

hours squared:

b.Is the quadratic term in this model justified?

  • No, because the estimated coefficient for Hours is not statistically significant at the 5% level.
  • Yes, because the estimated coefficient for Hours is statistically significant at the 5% level.
  • No, because estimated coefficient for Hours-squared is not statistically significant at the 5% level.
  • Yes, because estimated coefficient for Hours-squared is statistically significant at the 5% level.

c.Find the optimal number of weekly hours of TV for middle school children.(Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Optimal number of weekly hours:

Be sure to show your code in Rstudio.

I want each of you to research your city/town’s plans for disposing hazardous waste (including, if applicable, its policy of disposing of drugs). How does it differ from the City of Boston? Did any items, that were listed as hazardous material, surprise you? If you live in the City of Boston, please research another city or town in Massachusetts.
