For this data you will:

  • Use the SPSS program to calculate the correlation and create a scatterplot
  • Provide the appropriate output
  • How would you describe this relationship? (both strength and direction, and in layman’s terms)
  • Are these variables truly related or could there be a third variable at play?
  • Calculate the regression equation (show your work)
  • How much sleep should someone get if they drink 5 cups of coffee in a day?
  • Calculate the proportionate reduction in error

Sugar Land Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by a MBA student. The production line would be set up in unused space (Market Value Zero) in Sugar Land’ main plant. Total cost of the machine is $240,000. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and MACRS will be used for depreciation. The machine will have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years. MACRS calculated by 5 year period

The new line will generate Sales of 1,250 units per year for 4 years and the variable cost per unit is $100 in the first year. Each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. The sales price and variable cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by $30,000 at time zero (No additional NWC is needed in years 2, 3 and the NWC will be recouped at the end of year 4). The firm’s tax rate is 40% and its weighted average cost of capital is 10%.

You have been asked to calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) for a project whose development will be accomplished during a single calendar year with the go-live date of Jan 1st   The project, to develop a new Web-based ordering and fulfillment system, has already been conceptualized, and the team has provided estimates and a partial resource plan. Labor Operating expenses in years 2 through 5 are projected to be $57,000 annually. Miscellaneous expenses in years 2 through 5 are projected to be $6,500 annually. The benefit is projected to be $225,000 the first year of operation, increasing 11% each year. Hardware cost that would be installed for development is $100,000. You’ll need to complete the resource plan, the 5 year planning sheet, and calculate a 5 year ROI. Please finish filling out these tables and answer the associated questions.
