Visit a local retailer and while you are there, you need to find a NEW product. It could be identified on the store shelf or on the packaging of the product, but be sure it is identified as NEW to the market. Then, please answer the following questions:

  1. What is the name of the product? Do you think this product is increasing the breadth or the depth of the product line? Why did you choose your answers? Support this argument with course material.
  2. Is the brand name of the product a good fit for the product? Why or why not? Again, support this argument with course material.
  3. Did the maker of the product use packaging and labeling well? List and describe the packaging or labeling strategies you see being used.
  4. Do you think this new product will diffuse quickly or slowly through the marketplace? Why? Go into detail using at least one of the characteristics influencing the diffusion of innovation (found in Chapter 12) to support your answer.

Curve-fitting Project - Linear Model ***CHOOSE A TOPIC****SEE BELOW

Instructions

For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination) and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. Your topic may be that is related to sports, your work, a hobby, or something you find interesting. If you choose, you may use the suggestions described below.

A Linear Model Example and Technology Tips are provided in separate documents.

MY TOPIC IS: The rising Homeless population of the United States from 2010 to 2018. PLEASE CITE DATA SOURCES as well if possible

Tasks for Linear Regression Model (LR)

(LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (Highly recommended: Post this information in the Linear Model Project discussion as well as in your completed project. Include a brief informative description in the title of your posting. Each student must use different data.)

The idea with the discussion posting is two-fold: (1) To share your interesting project idea with your classmates, and (2) To give me a chance to give you a brief thumbs-up or thumbs-down about your proposed topic and data. Sometimes students get off on the wrong foot or misunderstand the intent of the project, and your posting provides an opportunity for some feedback. Remark: Students may choose similar topics, but must have different data sets. For example, several students may be interested in a particular Olympic sport, and that is fine, but they must collect different data, perhaps from different events or different gender.

(LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. Visually judge whether the data points exhibit a relatively linear trend. (If so, proceed. If not, try a different topic or data set.)

(LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line.

(LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two.

(LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent?

(LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work.

(LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting.

You may submit all of your project in one document or a combination of documents, which may consist of word processing documents or spreadsheets or scanned handwritten work, provided it is clearly labeled where each task can be found. Be sure to include your name. Projects are graded on the basis of completeness, correctness, ease in locating all of the checklist items, and strength of the narrative portions

Case 1: Primary Care Financial Management             The Health Center Program provides grants to nonprofit private...

Case 1: Primary Care Financial Management

            The Health Center Program provides grants to nonprofit private and public entities that serve designated medically underserved populations and areas and vulnerable populations of migrant and seasonal farmworkers, homeless individuals, and public housing residents. These grants are commonly referred to as “section 330 grants.”

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. No. 111-5 (Recovery Act), enacted February 17, 2009, HRSA received $2.5 billion, $2 billion of which was to expand the Health Center Program by serving more patients, stimulating new jobs, and meeting the expected increase in demand for primary health care services among the Nation’s uninsured and underserved populations. HRSA awarded a number of grants using Recovery Act funding in support of the Health Center Program, including Health Information Technology Implementation (HIT), Capital Improvement Program (CIP), New Access Point (NAP), and Increased Demand for Services (IDS) grants.

Neighborhood Care, is a nonprofit organization that operates community health centers in San Antonio, Texas, and the surrounding area. Neighborhood Care provides medical, dental, and mental health services and is funded primarily by patient service revenues and Federal grants. During fiscal years 2010 and 2011 (February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2011), Neighborhood Care received approximately $9.8 million (Federal share) in section 330 grant funding to supplement its health center operations. For project periods ranging from March 2009 through May 2012, HRSA awarded Neighborhood Care funding for five Recovery Act grants totaling $7,518,980: $4,024,697 under two HIT grants, $1,447,420 under a CIP grant, $1,300,000 under an NAP grant, and $746,863 under an IDS grant.

OBJECTIVES

Our objectives were to determine whether:

(1) The costs that Neighborhood Care claimed were allowable and

(2) Neighborhood Care had adequate controls over its financial management system.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Of the $16,020,116 that we reviewed, $3,417,461 was allowable. We could not determine whether salary and fringe benefit costs totaling $12,543,068 that Neighborhood Care claimed were allowable because Neighborhood Care did not maintain personnel activity reports for employees who worked on its section 330, HIT, NAP, and IDS grants and because the accounting records for the section 330 and NAP grants did not separate expenditures related to the Federal grants from those related to other funding sources. Neighborhood Care recorded additional potentially unallowable costs of $50,240 for compensation increases and $9,347 for interest expense.

Neighborhood Care did not have adequate controls over its financial management system. Specifically, Neighborhood Care did not draw down funds based on the cash needs for each project and did not prepare and complete bank statement reconciliations in a timely manner. Also, Neighborhood Care did not have adequate procurement procedures to ensure that it obtained reasonable pricing when procuring goods and services.

QUESTIONS

The Health Center Program provides grants to health centers. What is a health center and its purpose? Who can receive services at a health center?

As a designated health center, patients cannot be denied care regardless of their ability to pay. How are fees for services determined at a health center?

Provide 2 recommendations that Neighborhood Care should implement to tighten up the financial management of the practice?
