There are 4 Basic Financial Statements: Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Stockholders/Owner’s Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows typically receives the least amount of attention in Accounting textbooks. Further, the news typically focuses on ‘Net Income’ and ‘Quarterly Earnings.’ Also, reference is also made to items on the Balance Sheet. For example, technology companies can be a risky investment because despite their high earnings, there may be very little in the way of tangible assets supporting their business. The Statement of Changes in Stockholder’s Equity really reports only the change in ‘book value’ of the company. A company may have total Stockholder’s Equity of $50 million and 500,000 shares outstanding. The book value of the share is $100 but the stock may be trading in the market anywhere from $85 to $120 per share. Is it wrong to report the stock at book value? What can people learn about stewardship from the Statement of Cash Flows? What insights does it provide that people can’t learn from the other 3 Financial Statements? What are your thoughts on this from a Christian perspective?

Individuals experience various mood states or emotions at varying times every day, both subtle changes and obvious changes, that can result in attitude alternations with both negative and positive effects and impair or facilitate performance. The connections in the brain between emotion and memory have been particularly interesting to researchers given that neural networks that are activated by mood states are linked with neural networks that process basic perceptual functions such as word processing. Dr. Siebert has conducted a number of research experiments inducing various mood states through the use of music and then studying the effects of mood on lexical processing. In this study, higher scores on the Mood State measure reflect higher levels of lexical processing. The average Mood State score is μ = 3. (Dr. Pennie S. Siebert)

To examine changes in teaching self-efficacy, 10 teachers were measured on their self-efficacy toward teaching at the beginning of their teaching career and at the end of their first year and third years of teaching. The teaching self-efficacy scale ranged from 0 to 100 with higher scores reflecting greater teaching self-efficacy. The data are shown here.

A. Conduct a one-factor repeated measures ANOVA to determine mean differences across time, using alpha = .05.

B. Then, use the Bonferroni method to detect if and/or where the differences are among the time points.

Give necessary tables/figures for each.

Individuals experience various mood states or emotions at varying times every day, both subtle changes and obvious changes, that can result in attitude alternations with both negative and positive effects and impair or facilitate performance. The connections in the brain between emotion and memory have been particularly interesting to researchers given that neural networks that are activated by mood states are linked with neural networks that process basic perceptual functions such as word processing. Dr. Siebert has conducted a number of research experiments inducing various mood states through the use of music and then studying the effects of mood on lexical processing. (Dr. Pennie S. Siebert)

Previous research has shown that mood effects can be found in brain function at the level of lexical access. According to the associative network model of memory and emotion, emotions are represented in networks of nodes, as are words. Stimulation of emotion nodes activates networks that prime the retrieval of word nodes, creating mood-related effects on word retrieval such that positive emotions are associated with faster retrieval of positive words and negative moods are associated with faster retrieval of negative words. However, the speed of word retrieval may vary by type of mood, indicating stronger mood-related effects for some emotions compared to others. To assess differences in the speed of word retrieval under the influence of various mood states, researchers randomly assigned participants to happy, sad or neutral mood conditions and then tested their lexical retrieval of emotion-laden words.Participants were randomly assigned to listen to 30 minutes of happy, sad, or neutral music. They were then given a Reicher test which briefly presents a short string of letters that may or may not form a word. Participants were tasked with deciding whether or not the letters represented a word. Reaction time on the Reicher test was recorded for the three groups. Lower reaction time scores indicate greater mood effects on memory.

Research Question: Is there a difference in word recall among individuals who listen to happy, sad and neutral music?

Sad: 384.82, 380.26, 324.24, 314.68, 336.74, 380.26, 404.62, 331.46, 338.04, 418.28 [T=3613.98; M=361.40]

Neutral: 466.32, 430.94, 332.28, 338.04, 418.28, 597.08, 482.74, 436.74, 442.28, 580.34 [T=4525.04; M=452.50]   

Happy: 397.08, 482.74, 332.60, 397.92, 418.94, 519.54, 387.74, 442.62, 376.50, 360.34 [T=4116.08; M=411.61]

Strickler Technology is considering changes in its working capital policies to improve its cash flow cycle. Strickler's sales last year were $2,860,000 (all on credit), and its net profit margin was 8%. Its inventory turnover was 5.0 times during the year, and its DSO was 32 days. Its annual cost of goods sold was $1,500,000. The firm had fixed assets totaling $455,000. Strickler's payables deferral period is 35 days. Assume a 365-day year. Do not round intermediate calculations.

    ___ days

  2. Assuming Strickler holds negligible amounts of cash and marketable securities, calculate its total assets turnover and ROA. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

    Total assets turnover: ____ ×

    ROA: ____ %

  3. Suppose Strickler's managers believe the annual inventory turnover can be raised to 8 times without affecting sale or profit margins. What would Strickler's cash conversion cycle, total assets turnover, and ROA have been if the inventory turnover had been 8 for the year? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
