MBA_Salary table contains the annual salaries, in thousands of dollars, earned by individuals who graduated with MBAs in 2015 and 2016 from a certain business school in Canada. We would like to determine whether the distribution of salaries for 2015 MBA graduates is higher than for 2016 MBA graduates. a) Create a boxplot and compare the distribution of salaries for 2015 and 2016 graduates. b) Perform the appropriate non-parametric test at a 5% significance level to determine whether the salary for 2015 graduates is higher than for 2016 graduates. State the hypotheses clearly and show your manual calculation for all the relevant steps in the test. c) Use Excel to perform the appropriate non-parametric test in part (b). How does the result from Excel compare with your conclusion in part (b).

MBA Corp is considering whether to expand widget production. This would require the purchase of a new widget-producing machine at a cost of $5,400,000. The machine would produce 450,000 widgets per year during its useful life of three years, and would be depreciated for tax purposes at a rate of $1,800,000 per year. The machine would not have any salvage value. Expanding widget production would also require the use of a building that could otherwise be leased for $500,000 per year. Working capital required for the new machine would be 12% of the next year’s sales. Widget prices are $20 and are expected to remain stable. The materials and labor required to produce a widget cost $12, and these costs are also expected to remain stable. The corporate income tax rate is 30%. The discount rate is 6% per year. (a) Forecast the incremental cash flows resulting from the purchase of a widget machine on a year-by-year basis and draw them on a timeline. (b) Decide whether MBA Corp should go ahead with the purchase of the new machine.

A prospective MBA student earns $60,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 14% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $45,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $90,000 and that amount will increase by 10% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 12%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice? Please round your answer to the nearest dollar. Please check your answer I have received the wrong answer for this question before.

Integrating PHRs with EHRs

You are the Director of Clinical Informatics at an academic medical center in the western United States. Part of your role is to oversee the patient portal which is considered part of the outpatient EHR. The center is planning to adopt and integrate a PHR with its EHR. The hospital CEO drafts of a vision statement that states, “By using the latest technology, University Hospital will improve how our patients experience Health Care. Instead of patients coming to us for help, we will be there whenever and wherever they need us, asking, ‘How can we help you?’ This initiative will make healthcare easier to access and more convenient to use, improve patients’ health, and reduce the rising cost of health care in our area.”

1. What is your role in engaging populations to understand information about their health and how to access health information resources?

2. What steps would patients take to correct their data?

3. What barriers should this facility anticipate and rolling out the PHR, and what tactics should the organization take to overcome them?

Consider the following quote from chapter 14 of the eText: ”The gap between the rich and poor in the United States …has been widening for some time. In recent years, the gap has been the widest since our government began to keep records on it in 1947”. For example, one report states that: “Since 2009, 95% of U.S. economic gains have gone to the wealthiest 1% of the population” (“Income Inequality: Why Does the Gap Keep Widening?” The Week Feb. 7, 2014).

Think about the growing income inequality in the U.S. think about the widening gap between the rich and the rest of us in America, How has the economic trend for middle-class Americans affected them? How as it affected you?

[2] Two examples of the marketization of society today that Sandel discusses are cash for grades and pay for getting around long lines. What, if anything, is wrong with these practices? Beyond what Sandel discusses, think of at least one social, personal, or relational good or value that you think would be negatively affected by marketization. And explain why.

You work for a large international corporation. The director of your department has called a meeting. He states that the company must always consider international issues when conducting business globally. Safe work environments, fair wages, abuse of child labor, unfair treatment of workers, the environment, and legal business practices are all topics that are unfortunately in the news all too often. Previously, these were problems or issues that were present in the United States. Fortunately, the legal system and regulations, for the most part, have made these issues a thing of the past. However, in many foreign countries, these problems still exist. Societies are bound to repeat their mistakes if they do not learn from the past. Therefore, consider an ethical issue faced by American businesses in the international arena. What should be the legal and ethical reaction of the business community for these types of violations?

If the issue was domestic, what would the proper solution be? How does conducting business internationally change your analysis? Do we have to consider ethics universally or it is specific to practices within a country?
