Is there a linear relationship between the obesity rates and infant mortality for countries in the Global Health Summary data set? Investigate the relationship between obesity rates and infant mortality by using StatCrunch and complete the parts below.

1. Use the Simple Linear Regression feature in StatCrunch to construct the regression model and scatterplot to compare the obesity rate (x-variable) to the infant deaths per 1000 (y-variable). Insert the results in the space below. (TIP: You need to insert both the linear regression information and the scatterplot.)

2. Report the correlation coefficient (r) and write the equation for the linear relationship as ____Locate the critical value for correlation coefficients with a sample size of thirty or higher. (If necessary, round your answers to the nearest hundredth.)

3. Determine if there is a valid linear relationship between obesity rates and infant mortality rates. To receive full credit, your answer should make use of the correlation coefficient and the critical value. If there is a linear relationship, describe how the two variables are related.

4. Would it be appropriate to conclude a cause-and-effect relationship between obesity rates and infant mortality rates? Explain why or why not.

5. Identify at least one confounding or lurking variable and describe how it may be related to obesity rates and infant mortality rates. (Tip: You will need to think beyond the data set for this question.)

For years Evo has supported athletic teams, but only recently did the Seattle-based e-commerce company launch a formal work team. Like many organizations, the online retailer of snowboard, ski, skate, and wake gear used team metaphors loosely to describe anything involving random groups of employees. But Evo got an education on real work teams when the company formed a team for its creative services employees.

The new group, which is comprised of a photographer, designer, and copy writer, is responsible for producing Evo’s magazine ads, promotions, and web site content. Although the individuals’ roles are not generally interchangeable, photographer Tre Dauenhauer might dabble in design, graphic designer Pubs One may write a few lines of copy, and copywriter Sunny Fenton might snap photos on occasion. Most team projects require a combination of eye-grabbing photos, clever words, and a compelling design, and the teammates are committed to a common purpose.

When the creative services team launched, group members moved into their own space, away from Evo’s chaotic, open-plan work areas. Being together every day enabled the team members to become better acquainted and move through the “forming” stage more quickly. But even with close quarters, Dauenhauer, One, and Fenton needed help navigating the conflict-ridden, storming stage of their team’s development. Before joining the team, they functioned individually and weren’t used to sharing power or making decisions as a group. To help the members learn to work together, Nathan Decker, director of e-commerce, became the team leader. As a skilled negotiator, Decker makes sure his talented trio steers clear of dysfunction and delivers the goods. Any time the team finishes a project, Decker brings members together for a post-mortem discussion—a method of reviewing what was learned, and how things could be executed differently. It’s here that the team members identify new routines and rituals to incorporate into their process for future improvement.

Due to Decker’s leadership and skillful negotiation of conflicts, members of the creative services team are learning how to communicate in ways never before possible. Having a skilled leader to facilitate work processes has helped build team cohesiveness and deliver a collective output that is greater than the sum of its parts.

1. What organizational dilemma was hurting Evo’s creative output, and how did management resolve the problem using teams?

2.   How might Nathan Decker lead effectively as the team starts “norming”?

3.   Can you relate the group performance factors of composition, size, norms, cohesiveness, and informal leadership to Evo?

Fruity Ltd is a family owned company run by George and Sarah Watts. The Watts plan to retire in four years and were hoping that their son Angus would take over the business. However, Angus has just been hired as a graphic designer and has told his parents he is not interested in taking over the family firm. The Watts therefore have decided that they will close the business in four years when they retire. Fruity Ltd currently makes tinned peaches and pears but the Watts have heard that tinned apples are becoming more fashionable and are considering whether they should expand into this market in the years before they retire. They have asked you to help them to decide whether to expand into apples. They will need to buy a new machine which will cost $100,000 to process the apples. The machine would be depreciated straight line for 10 years to a terminal book value of zero. The Watts estimate that they will be able to sell it for $65,000 when they close the company. The Watts have already engaged Markitz, a marketing firm to survey the market about demand for the tinned apples. Markitz charged them $15,000 for this analysis. Marktiz estimates that they should be able to sell the apples at $4 a tin and should be able to sell about 10,000 tins per year. However, Markitz also estimate that they will lose about $2,000 in sales of their peaches and pears every year as some their current customers switch from buying their tinned peaches and pears to buying their apples. The Watts will need to hire two new employees to operate the apple machine and pack the tinned apples. They estimate the cost of these employees will be $10,000 per year. Expanding into apples will also result in an increase in operating costs of $2,000 per year. There will also need to be an initial investment of 1,000 in net working capital which will be fully recoverable at the end of the fourth year. The company tax rate is 30%.

Required:

Estimate the after-tax cash flows for the project. To do this you must present two tables. The first table should show the inputs of the accounting flows to determine the after-tax income. The second table should show the inputs to determine the after-tax cash flows. (This means you should NOT use the tax shield approach). IMPORTANT: You must show each input in your table as a separate row. DO NOT group inputs together.

The next page is blank and should be used for your rough workings.

Use the tables on the 2 pages following the blank page for your answer - one table for each answer. (You do not need to use all the cells, just what you need for your answer).
