Your Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has asked your opinion about the use of financial leverage in two different industries; one telecommunication and other tourism. What factors would you highlight to your CFO that may cause a difference in the use of financial leverage for these two different industries? What are the general limitations of the excess use of financial leverage?

The income statement of Booker T Industries Inc. for the current year ended June 30 is as follows:

Changes in the balances of selected accounts from the beginning to the end of the current year are as follows:

Prepare the Cash Flows from Operating Activities section of the statement of cash flows, using the direct method. Refer to the Amount Descriptions list provided for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. In the operating activities section, use the minus sign to indicate cash outflows, decreases in cash and a net cash outflow, if required.

b. What does the direct method show about a company’s cash flows from operating activities that is not shown using the indirect method?

14A. Suppose a population of flour beetles has 10,000 individuals. There are two alleles possible for the gene that determines body color: red (B), and black (b). BB and Bb beetles are red, while bb individuals are black. Assume the population is at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, with equal frequencies of the two alleles.

What would be the expected frequency of red beetles?

14B. What would be the expected frequency of black beetles in the population as described in A?

14C. Assuming that Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium remains in effect, what would be the expected frequencies of BB, Bb, and bb individuals after 100 generations?

14D. What would be the expected red (B) allele frequency if 10,000 black individuals migrated into the population?

14E. What would be the expected black (b) allele frequency after the migration described in part D?

14F. Violation of what two Hardy-Weinberg assumptions could return the population to the original allele frequencies (described in A)? Briefly explain how each violation would return the population to the original allele frequencies in 1-2 sentences (each).

Below is the data for a personality questionnaire measuring conscientiousness. These data were taken from a random sample of 25 undergraduate psychology majors. In the general population, scores on this questionnaire are normally distributed with a mean (μ) of 60. You hypothesize that this sample is not representative of the general population. Specifically, you hypothesize that psychology students form a distinct sub-population, with DIFFERENT conscientiousness, relative to the general population. That is, it would be equally interesting to find out they have higher or lower conscientiousness. Conduct a one-sample t-test by answering the following questions.

Data: N = 25, xbar (sample mean) = 65.12, S_x = 10.17

  a. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

  b. Are you going to be using a one- or two-tailed test? Explain the reason for your choice.

  c. What are the degrees of freedom for this t-test? Find the corresponding critical t-value for Type I error rate (alpha) of α = 0.05?

d. Calculate your observed t-statistic.

e. Compare your observed t-statistic to the critical t-value(s). What do you conclude regarding the null hypothesis?

f. Calculate and interpret follow-up 95% Confidence interval

g. Calculate and interpret the standardized effect size (Cohen's d).

h. What do you conclude about your research question (use your own words, in everyday language)

in detail how is energy stored in pyruvate converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in eukaryotic cells?

please explain with lots of detail as I am struggling to understand this concept. :(

thanks in advance.

Bonus Assignment #1

Directions: For this bonus assignment, you will give a presentation on a statistical model of your choosing. To do this, choose a statistical model from the list below and come up with a hypothetical study related to your research interests that could be conducted using the model. Presentations should be 5-6 minutes and must include the following:
Background information on your topic, research question/hypothesis, and why you think your study should be conducted.
State the IV (including levels) and the DV. Be specific about what your variables are. Review “operational definitions” in your textbook. Also, mention the scale of measurement your variables are measured on.
Explain what the procedure would be for individuals participating in your study. BE SPECIFIC ABOUT EACH STEP IN THE PROCEDURE.
Come up with a sample data set for your hypothetical study (minimum of 30 data points total). Demonstrate how the data would be analyzed using the model in JMP*. You can obtain a free copy of JMP using your student id information here: (http://helpdesk.louisiana.edu/sasjmp).
Explain how to interpret the results of the test. Relate your analysis to the question posed by your hypothetical study.
Choose from the following statistical models:
One-way between-subjects ANOVA
One-way within-subjects ANOVA
Two-way between-subjects ANOVA
Regression
*Two-way ANOVA does not require a JMP demonstration.

7) Your partner is ready to use a gene drive to eradicate Zika. Your partner is proposing a flowchart for his experiment but she jumbled up his lab and field protocols. Place the following, applicable statements in order:

(Example: d x f …. Etc..)

Answer:   ______ _______ ______ _____ ______   ______ ______ ______ _____ _____

A) Identify freshly emerging recombinant mosquitos that glow red under the fluorescent microscope.

B) After a few months do DNA tests on wild life and mosquitos on the island and find only very few (if any) Dengue-positive specimens.

C) Sit back in your beach chair, smile, and think of the fame that will be yours for eradicating Zika. What could possibly go wrong?

D) In the Lab, show that recombinant mosquito offspring can feed on mice carrying the Zika virus but afterwards do not carry the Zika virus themselves.

E) Show that the mosquito’s offspring also glow red and now contain the original gRNA, Cas9, and a monobody to the Zika pathogen.

F) On an uninhabited, tropical offshore island infested with Zika virus release hundreds of recombinant, red-eyed mosquitos.

G) Generate an expression construct with the matching gRNA, Cas9, RFP and a monobody to the Zika virus.

H) Rear the recombinant mosquitos on laboratory mice, let them grow and mate with wild-type mosquitoes.

I) Search the database to identify a Zika virus target sequence with a juxtaposed PAM

K) Micro-inject the construct into developing mosquito larva.

You are a Health & safety Specialist. The date is March 12th 2020 and the world Health Organization has just announced that COVID-19 is a world pandemic the day before. The CEO of the company you work at has called you into her office and requested that you come up with a plan to deal with this issue. She has been hearing about staff complaining that the company is not doing enough to protect them. She asks you to come up with a policy to take care of these trouble makers . She wants you to have something in place to deal with the virus problem and with the complaints. You go back to your office and ponder what to do. State what your course of action would be. How would you go about addressing this request? What are the issues you need to think about as you come up with your policy recommendation? Do not create the policy; just state all the factors you need to consider. Keep in mind that you have CHRP and CRSP designations. The CEO does not.
