When he ran for President in 2000, Al Gore said that American farmland was disappearing at an "alarming" rate and that soon it would be impossible to grow enough food on the remaining land to feed the entire country, which would mean the prospect of people not having enough to eat. His proposed solution was to have the government place restrictions on converting farmland to other uses, such as subdividing lots for building new homes. Was Gore's assessment of the situation, along with his policy prescription, based upon accurate economic theory and analysis? Why or why not? (Note: For this question, we will assume that all food consumed in the USA is grown or produced here. Yes, I know we import food, but this question can be answered even with the assumption that we don't import any food.

Background

You are the Training & Development Manager of a large corporation (2000 staff). You have recently been charged with the task of completing a training & development audit. From your research, you are expected to make recommendations to the directors on future training & development requirements.

The training department currently offers programs to staff through a catalogue that it produces each year. You have been receiving feedback from staff & managers alike that the programs are not necessarily meeting today's needs for skill development and just-in-time training. Also there were complaints of favouritism towards some staff who always seem to get to go to training, consequently the perception you face is that there is an inequitable access to training. Managers also raised issues about leadership skills in the workplace.

Another challenge for you is that the directors have also indicated that there is a budget squeeze and there are no more available resources for training & development at this time.

From the needs assessment you identified four options to put forward to the directors:

1. Training & development programs to remain the same.

2. Training and development to remain essentially the same, however, a review of the accessibility to training be undertaken to ensure fairness in opportunities and accessibility.

3. To create a formal training and development plan that supports organizational goals to achieve organizational effectiveness and Human Resource effectiveness through the adoption and implementation of several strategies.

4. Eliminate training and development all together

Exercise

For this exercise marry both the exercise criteria and your own organization. Utilize your current organization's training and development policies within the context of this assignment (your organization just grew if it doesn't already have 2000 people!) Consider your organization's current training programs, entry and registration process. Use this as a basis for completing the following.

1. Utilize your own company as a basis for your response.
2. Outline the training & development activities and issues within your organization. Add in the additional issues listed in this case.
3. Outline the audit process you would undertake; include any questionnaires etc that you might utilize.
4. Discuss the merits and gaps of your training and development programs as measured against your readings in the text book and in the Lecture Notes of Week 6.
5. Pick one of the 4 options as described above, to recommend to your directors. Defend your recommendation by including in your report a description of the benefits the organization might receive as well any potential drawbacks.

Application Exercise:
A nutritionist is interested in the relationship between cholesterol and diet. The nutritionist developed a non-vegan and vegan diet to reduce cholesterol levels. The nutritionist then obtained a sample of clients for which half are told to eat the new non-vegan diet and the other half to eat the vegan diet for two months. The nutritionist hypothesizes that the non-vegan diet will increase cholesterol levels more. What can be concluded with an α of 0.05. Below are the cholesterol levels of all the participants after two months.

a) What is the appropriate test statistic?
---Select--- na z-test One-Sample t-test Independent-Samples t-test Related-Samples t-test

b)
Condition 1:
---Select--- cholesterol level vegan months non-vegan diet
Condition 2:
---Select--- cholesterol level vegan months non-vegan diet

c) Obtain/compute the appropriate values to make a decision about H₀.
(Hint: Make sure to write down the null and alternative hypotheses to help solve the problem.)
critical value =  ; test statistic =  
Decision:  ---Select--- Reject H0 Fail to reject H0

d) If appropriate, compute the CI. If not appropriate, input "na" for both spaces below.
[  ,  ]

e) Compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).
If not appropriate, input and/or select "na" below.
d =  ;  ---Select--- na trivial effect small effect medium effect large effect
r² =  ;  ---Select--- na trivial effect small effect medium effect large effect

f) Make an interpretation based on the results.

The non-vegan diet had significantly higher cholesterol levels than the vegan diet.

The non-vegan diet had significantly lower cholesterol levels than the vegan diet.     

There was no significant cholesterol difference between the non-vegan and vegan diets.

A nutritionist is interested in the relationship between cholesterol and diet. The nutritionist developed a non-vegetarian and vegetarian diet to reduce cholesterol levels. The nutritionist then obtained a sample of clients for which half are told to eat the new non-vegetarian diet and the other half to eat the vegetarian diet for three months. The nutritionist hypothesizes that the non-vegetarian diet will reduce cholesterol levels more. What can the nutritionist conclude with α = 0.01. Below are the cholesterol levels of all the participants after three months.

a) What is the appropriate test statistic?

Fantasy Fashions had used the LIFO method of costing inventories, but at the beginning of 2018 decided to change to the FIFO method. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $22 million higher using FIFO. Retained earnings reported at the end of 2016 and 2017 was $242 million and $262 million, respectively (reflecting the LIFO method). Those amounts reflecting the FIFO method would have been $252 million and $274 million, respectively. 2017 net income reported at the end of 2017 was $30 million (LIFO method) but would have been $32 million using FIFO. After changing to FIFO, 2018 net income was $38 million. Dividends of $7 million were paid each year. The tax rate is 40%.

Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2018 to record the change in accounting principle.

2. In the 2018–2017 comparative income statements, what will be the amounts of net income reported for 2017 and 2018?

3. Prepare the 2018–2017 retained earnings column of the comparative statements of shareholders’ equity.
