The Human Resources manager of Slam’s Club was shocked by the revelations of gender discrimination by WalMart and wants to check whether there is a gender difference in average salaries in his firm. He takes a random sample of 145 male employees and 75 female employees. The average salary for the males is 54.372 thousands of USD, female average salary is 49.773 thousands of USD. He assumes that the variability of the salaries is equal and finds the pooled standard deviation of 10.844 thousands USD.

What are the approximate values of the test statistics and critical value for the appropriate hypothesis test (significance level = 5%)?

Answer is: test statistic = 2.982, and critical value = 1.971. I can get the test statistic. The part I need help on is how to get the critical value. please show the excel command used to obtain it in detail.

The coronavirus pandemic is a human tragedy, affecting hundreds of thousands of people globally. It is also
having a growing impact on the global value chain, hence the global economy. All serious companies around
the world have therefore found innovative ways of keeping business going nonetheless. One of such notable
companies is Ghana’s Kantanka Inc. The company has established a dedicated team to ensure a simple but well-
managed set of processes that maximize the health and safety of colleagues and customers. This team is led by
the CEO of the company. The focus of the team has been broken down into five distinct work streams:
 Employee management and wellbeing
 Financial stress-testing and contingency planning
 Supply chain monitoring
 Marketing and sales
 Any other business
Kantanka Inc. is a car manufacturing company originating from Ghana which produces low-end vehicles. The
company’s competitive advantage stems from its unconventional but effective and energy efficient technology
which is not found in most vehicles around the world. The dashboard and other interior parts of the vehicles are
made from wood, and the vehicles are powered by car batteries and solar energy.
Recently, they have added on aircrafts and mechanized farming technologies. The company is set to take the
African market by storm. The company decided in 2015 to enter Nigeria and Germany. With the backing of the
government of Ghana, negotiations with both countries succeeded as negotiators from Nigeria and Germany
were in natural sync with the Ghanaian lobbyist contracted.
Once the company has gone international, it was only natural that value chain activities of the company would
have to be rationalized to deal with the expansion, as well as all forms of risk with respect to exchange rate
fluctuations. Speaking of financials, in this coronavirus pandemic period, companies such as Kantanka Inc. that
entered into future contracts and used currency options as hedging instruments would have less to worry about
since excuses from business partners would almost be non-existent.
Recently in 2017, a company from Sậo Tome and Principé, called PreZi contacted Kantanka Inc. to obtain
permission to use its technology. As to whether to agree or not to the agreement is still under scrutiny by
Kantanka’s international expansion team.
a) Discuss five (5) ways the two negotiators can get along in order for their cultural backgrounds not to
affect the outcome of their bargaining process.
b) Explain three (3) financial risks Kantanka Inc would definitely encounter.
c) What five (5) benefits is Kantanka Inc likely to gain from entering the German market?

d) Explain five (5) problems Kantanka Inc’s international expansion team should anticipate before entering
the German market.
e) Explain the contractual strategy that would best characterize the Kantanka-PreZi agreement once agreed
to.

Human Resources:

For this assignment, you are an HR manager for ABC corp. The director of sales would like you to give a presentation to her team of seven sales managers about the importance of creating a legally defensible job description.

Answer the following questions:

  1. Include information of three examples of unlawful job requirement criteria.
  2. Discuss why the examples identified are unlawful.
  3. Discuss the ramifications of listing unlawful job requirement criteria on job descriptions.
  4. Then give three examples of criteria that are legally satisfiable instead.

If a human has 46 chromosomes and it undergoes meiosis this means it will produce haploid cells. (each cell having 23 chromosomes) However, if the cell replicates itself in interphase. Wouldn't we have 92 chromosomes once replicated? How would this translate in having a haploid # of chromosomes after meiosis I? If possible please draw a diagram I am super confused ;/

Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.23 Fahrenheit and a standard deviation of .61 Fahrenheit.
A. A hospital uses 100.6 Fahrenheit as of the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cut off of 100.6 Fahrenheit is appropriate?
B. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should the temperature be, if we want only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it?

(A) The percentage of normal and healthy person is considered to have fever is(round to 2 decimal places as needed)

Does this percentage suggest that a cut off of 100.6 Fahrenheit is appropriate?
A. Yes because there is a large probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever
B. No because there is a large probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever
C. Yes because there is a small probability that a normal and a healthy person would be considered to have a fever
D. No because there is a small probability that a normal and healthy person would be considered to have a fever

B. The minimum temperature for requiring further medical test should be blank Fahrenheit if we were only 5.0% of healthy people to exceed it. Round to two decimal places as needed

Please keep in mind that the discussion on fraud will evoke some emotions that is human. These are hypothetical situations.

On page 62 of the textbook, the Author Anderson and Enron case is discussed. This event demonstrates the breakdown of ethics and professional judgement in the 1990's / 2000 which resulted in accounting fraud. This occurred when accounting professionals failed to identify, report and correct unethical behavior because in doing so would harm the observer. Enron paid Anderson a total go $52 million making them the second largest client in there Houston Texas office.

The discovery of inaccurate financial statements and the failure to correct it and disclosure it in the 1997 earnings restatements were the primary reasons for fraud that has made Enron a household name today. This example demonstrates fraud from the top down where the professionals lost sight of there obligations during the audit.

The movie the Mule by Clint Eastwood proposed a similar dilemma in that ethics and professional judgement were ignored by all the individuals and fraud crimes were allowed to go uncorrected because there was no checks or voluntary disclosure which poses the question.

Question:

As a CPA or an accounting professional, how would you handle the issue of inaccurate earnings on financials statements if the lead auditor of your firm chose to allow it to go uncorrected.

How would you handle a $10 dollar variance versus a $10 million dollar variance?

  1. The human resource director at Schultz Industries is interested in examining the effect of gender and employee classification on the annual dollar amount of dental claims for unmarried employees in the company. Employee classifications range from category 1 (production-line worker) to category 4 (upper-level management). The director decided to use three replicates for each of the eight treatment combinations, requiring annual claims from 24 different employees. Use the sample results (below) to test for the significance of the gender, employee classification, and interaction between gender and employee classification. Use a significance level of 0.05.
