A. Apply the rules of jurisdiction to the
facts of this case and determine what jurisdiction(s) would be
appropriate for Margolin’s lawsuit against Funny Face and Novelty
Now, respectively. Consider federal court, state court, and long
arm principles in your analysis.
B. Assume all parties agree to pursue alternative
dispute resolution (ADR). Analyze the advantages and disadvantages
of two types of ADR appropriate for this case. Be sure to define
the characteristics of each in your answer.
C. Applying what you have learned about ADR, which type
would each party (Funny Face, Novelty Now, and Margolin) prefer and
why?
D. Apply concepts of criminal law and discuss whether
or not corporations and/or corporate officers may be held liable
for criminal acts.
E. Identify, per the classification of crimes in the
text, any potential criminal acts by Funny Face and/or Novelty
Now.
F. Assume the use of the emulsifier PYR, at the direction of Chris,
is a criminal offense. Apply concepts of criminal law and discuss
the potential criminal liability of Funny Face, Chris, Matt, Ian,
and Novelty Now. Include support for your conclusion.
G. Apply at least three guidelines of ethical decision-making to
evaluate ethical issues within the case study.

The 40-hour work week did not become a U.S. standard until 1940. Today, many white-collar employees work more than 42 hours per week because management demands longer hours or offers large monetary incentives. A random sample of 22 white-collar employees worked on average 44.03 hours per week. Is there any evidence that the true mean number of hours worked per week by white-collar employees is greater than 42? Assume that the population standard deviation is 3.09 hours. Please use the exact value (from R) for all critical values.
a) What assumptions are required so that you can perform a hypothesis tests and confidence interval for the mean hours worked per week?
b) Should you use a z distribution or a t distribution in this problem? Note that you will only get one try to get this question correct.Please explain the correct choice.
c) Is there any evidence to suggest the true mean number of hours worked per week by white-collar workers is greater than 42? Perform the hypothesis test at a 0.8% significance level.
i) Calculate the test statistic.
ii) Calculate the p-value. Please write your answer in scientific notation using an E for the exponent and including at least 3 decimal places. For example, 1.234 x 10-5 would be written as 1.234E-5.
iii) Write the complete four steps of the hypothesis test below.
iv) Provide your computer code for part c) below.
d) Calculate the appropriate 99.2% bound that is consistent with what you did in parts b) and c).
i) Interpret the bound calculated above.
ii) Provide your computer code for part d) below.
e) In practical terms, do you think that the number of hours worked per week by white-collar workers is greater than 42? To receive credit, your answer must be more than just repeating the conclusions in parts c) and d). Please explain your answer. Hint: Difference and Effect Size.
f) Explain why parts c) and d) state the same thing. That is, what in part c) is consistent with what in part d)?

Consider the following five monthly returns. The arithmetic average monthly return over this period is 3.40% and the geometric average monthly return over this period is 3.30%. Explain the difference between the arithmetic average return and the geometric average return. Are both numbers useful? If so, explain why? 6% negative 3% 7% 8% negative 1% Choose the correct answer below.
A. The arithmetic average return is the best estimate of what you would earn in the future, so this is the number you care about. The geometric average return is useless.
B. The geometric average return is what you would have actually achieved if you had held the stock, so this is the number you care about. The arithmetic average return is useless.
C. There is no difference between arithmetic and geometric average returns. The two are just different methods to get the same answer.
D. Both numbers are useful. The geometric average return tells you what you would actually make if you held the stock over this period. You can use thearithmetic average return over the period as an estimate of the expected return. If you use this estimate, it is what you would expect to make in the next period

1. Farmer Johnson’s rate of return on assets (ROA) this year was 5.5% while his rate of return on equity (ROE) was 7%. Given this information, what can you generalize about the average interest rate Farmer Johnson is paying on his debt relative to the rates of return above? Briefly explain your answer.
2. Can an operation be profitable but have negative net cash flow? If yes, explain how this can happen? If no, explain why it cannot happen.

With the Beyond Meat IPO arguably the most successful of 2019, plant-based foods are definitely big business. Some states such as Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Arkansas have passed laws that prohibit companies from using terms such as "veggie bacon," "cauliflower rice," and "almond milk" in product labeling. Because consumers have decreased their consumption of animal derived foods, the meat and dairy industry see these laws as helping their businesses. Some claim such laws will prevent consumers from being confused. A former FDA commissioner notably came out in support of a similar federal proposal by stating that it made sense because, "[a]n almond doesn't lactate." Meanwhile, manufacturers of plant-based foods argue that consumers do not suffer from any confusion.
Commercial speech is protected by the First Amendment. The rules about commercial speech com from Central Hudson v. Public Service Commission, 447 U.S. 557 (1980). To determine whether government may regulate commercial speech, we look at a 4-part test. In order for a law restricting commercial speech to be considered constitutional, it must satisfy all 4 parts. If any of the 4 requirements are not met, the law would be unconstitutional.
