The National Football League (NFL) records a variety of performance data for individuals and teams. To investigate the importance of passing on the percentage of games won by a team, the following data show the average number of passing yards per attempt (Yards/Attempt) and the percentage of games won (WinPct) for a random sample of 10 NFL teams for the 2011 season.†
| Team | Yards/Attempt | WinPct |
|---|---|---|
| Arizona Cardinals | 6.5 | 50 |
| Atlanta Falcons | 7.1 | 63 |
| Carolina Panthers | 7.4 | 38 |
| Chicago Bears | 6.4 | 50 |
| Dallas Cowboys | 7.4 | 50 |
| New England Patriots | 8.3 | 81 |
| Philadelphia Eagles | 7.4 | 50 |
| Seattle Seahawks | 6.1 | 44 |
| St. Louis Rams | 5.2 | 13 |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 6.2 | 25 |
A) For the 2011 season, suppose the average number of passing yards per attempt for a certain NFL team was 6.4. Use the estimated regression equation developed in part (c) to predict the percentage of games won by that NFL team. (Note: For the 2011 season, suppose this NFL team's record was 8 wins and 8 losses. Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Phyton Login program
To start the program each day the manager must login. The main
(manager) window will appear with a login, create password, and
cancel button. A password must exist for the login button to be
enabled. The password is created in a separate window and must be 9
characters or more, and it must have at least on digit, uppercase
and lowercase letter. The program will continue to show error
messages and prompt for a password until a valid password is
created. The valid password will be stored in a file for validation
on login.
When a valid password has been created or on subsequent program
runs, the main window “Create Account” button for the manager will
be disabled. When the login button is clicked, the main window will
change (morph) to add a login entry box.
Create the “Account Creation / Login” interface and the
functions using a class for the GUI in a separate module (file) and
begin the design for user name and password file handling. The
window is launched when the “Create Account” button is clicked. Use
the <enter> key to obtain the user entry.
Design and develop the functionality for changing the window or
creating a new one to obtain a user name and password including
input validation. Create an error dialog that echoes the password,
and create the password validation function which must test for
length (9 characters or more), an uppercase and lowercase letter,
and a digit. The window must contain instructions and operating
“Cancel” and “Create Account” buttons.
When the “Ok” button in the “Password Accepted” dialog is
clicked the Account Creation dialog should be destroyed and the
main window will now have the “Create Account” button disabled.
Store the user name and password for future checking. The user
should login next.
Hint: The call to the login function may not be able to be handled
directly through the “command=” option of the button. A call to a
function within the main GUI (outside the main loop) may need to be
called which then calls the login function in the separate
module.
Add the code to the login function to accept the password when the <Enter> key is pressed by binding the entry widget to a function call that tests for a match with the stored password by calling a “verify” function. The entry widget should accept input left aligned in the text box. If the entered password and stored password don’t match, alert the user and the text box should be cleared like the account creation example- entry.delete(0, END). Login operations can be done on the main window as shown here or in a separate window. Consider how the user and manager would like to interface with your program.

Tabulation Corporation manufactures and sells two types of electronic calculators: EL-520 W and EL-620 T. The following data was gathered from last month’s activities:
EL-520 W EL-620 T
Sales in units 5,000 3,000
Selling price per unit $50 $100
Variable production costs per unit $10 $26
Traceable fixed production costs $100,000 $150,000
Variable selling expenses per unit $5 $6
Traceable fixed selling expenses $5,000 $7,500
Allocated division administrative expenses $50,000 $60,000

The Winter Products Division of American Sports Corporation produces and markets two products for use in the snow: Sleds and Saucers. The following data were gathered on activities last month:
Sleds Saucers
Sales in units 2,000 9,000
Selling price per unit $50 $20
Variable production costs per unit $20 $5
Traceable fixed production costs $12,000 $33,000
Variable selling expenses per unit $2 $1
Traceable fixed selling expenses $2,000 $3,000
Allocated division administrative expenses $40,000 $72,000
Required:
a. Prepare a segmented income statement in the contribution format
for last month, showing both "Amount" and "Percent" columns for the
division as a whole and for each product.
b. Why might it be very difficult to calculate separate break-even
sales for each product?
c. Refer to the original data and, if necessary, the results of the
segmented income statement prepared in part (a) above. Calculate
the total break-even sales (in both units AND dollars) for last
month, assuming that none of the fixed production costs and fixed
selling expenses is traceable. Allocate the total break-even sales
between the two products.
d. Again, refer to the original data and, if necessary, the results
of the segmented income statement prepared in part (a) above.
Calculate the total break-even sales (in both units AND dollars)
for last month, assuming that the "allocated" amounts of the
division's administrative expenses are fixed and actually
traceable. Allocate the total break-even sales between the two
products.
e. How reasonable are the total break-even sales numbers calculated
in parts (c) and (d) given the actual results for last month?

Last Tuesday, Cute Camel Woodcraft Company lost a portion of its planning and financial data when both its main and its backup servers crashed. The company's CFO remembers that the internal rate of return (IRR) of Project Gamma is 11.3%, but he can't recall how much Cute Camel originally invested in the project nor the project's net present value (NPV). However, he found a note that detailed the annual net cash flows expected to be generated by Project Gamma. They are:
Year Cash Flow
Year 1 $2,400,000
Year 2 $4,500,000
Year 3 $4,500,000
Year 4 $4,500,000
The CFO has asked you to compute Project Gamma's initial investment using the information currently available to you. He has offered the following suggestions and observations:
A project's IRR represents the return the project would generate when its NPV is zero or the discounted value of its cash inflows equals the discounted value of its cash outflows-when the cash flows are discounted using the project's IRR.
The level of risk exhibited by Project Gamma is the same as that exhibited by the company's average project, which means that Project Gamma's net cash flows can be discounted using Cute Camel's 8% WACC.
Given the data and hints, Project Gamma's initial investment is _______ ,and its NPV is _______ (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).
A project's IRR will _______ if the project's cash inflows increase, and everything else is unaffected.
