“Bill Criswell owns and operates a farm in Pennsylvania. During 2011, he produced and harvested 60,000 bushels of soybeans. He had no inventory of soybeans at the start of the year. Immediately after harvesting the soybeans in fall of 2011, Criswell sold 45,000 bushels to a local grain elevator operator. As of December 31, 2011, he had received payment for 30,000 bushels. Additional information relating to the farm follows:Price:Market price per bushel at the time of harvest and sale tot he grain elevator operator $ 3.60Market price per bushel at December 31, 2011 3.60 Costs:Variable production costs per bushel .50Delivery costs per bushel .20Annual fixed cost of operating the farm that are unrelated to the volume of production $50,000Required:1. Prepare a 2011 income statement for Criswell’s farm under each of the following assumptions regarding what constitutes the “critical event” in the process of recognizing income:a. Assuming that production is the critical event.b. Assuming that the sale is the critical event.c. Assuming that cash collection is the critical event.(For simplicity, treat the fixed operating costs as period rather than product costs.)2. Determine the December 31, 2011, balances for Soybeans inventory and Accounts receivable under each of the three income recognition methods in requirement 1.3. Assume that the farm is left idle during 2012. With no harvest, Criswell’s only transaction consists of an October 2012 sale of the 15,000 bushels in inventory at $2.80 per bushel. Further assume that no fixed costs are incurred while the farm is idle. Compute income during 2012 on both the sale and production basis. Discuss the causes for any profit or loss reported under each income determination alternative.

MINICASE: MGMT – 14 BUSINESS ETHICS PROGRAM 1992 Arthur Andersen & Co, SC. All rights reserved. Page 1 of 1 But My Textbook Said This Would Work Topic: Performance Appraisal Characters: Alice, a new manager of Training and Development in a large bank Belinda, a teller-trainee who is black Alice was hired last year as a first-line manager in the Training and Development department of the bank where she has worked part-time for several years while earning her bachelor’s degree in business. Her main responsibility is to train bank tellers. The bank is very big on promotion from within, so most people start as tellers. The bank is also trying to hire (and eventually promote) more racial minorities, because there aren’t a lot of minorities on the staff. In fact, the bank has been the target of several discrimination lawsuits the last few years and now wants to change its image of being a “racist” organization. The bank’s classroom facility has training work stations of tellers’ equipment. When a trainee is hired, training takes an entire work week, and each trainee is either passed or failed at the end of the week. Each “class” of new trainees usually consists of about a dozen people. Alice has been using written and audiovisual materials developed by the bank. Also, she took a class in Training while a student. Consequently, she knows that adults learn more effectively when they are given positive reinforcement (for doing something correctly) and constructive criticism (for making a mistake). So far, this has worked pretty well. Today, however, three days into a session, she has been hit with a potentially serious complaint. Belinda is a black teller-trainee. She seems to have a very hard time learning some of the material, much more so than some of her counterparts. All of the other trainees happen to be white. Because much of the training involves objective quizzes and hands-on computer work, Alice knows that Belinda really did make a lot of mistakes. Alice had been careful to point out Belinda’s many mistakes and explain how to correct them. Belinda, however, does not appreciate the constructive criticism. She insists that Alice is treating her differently because of her race and wants to file a formal complaint unless Alice lets up on her: “You’re picking on me because I’m black. I don’t see you picking on the white girls. I’d better pass this training, or your company is in trouble.” Author: Sue Margaret Norton, Assistant Professor of Business, University of Wisconsin-Parkside

What is the SCL equation for your regression output?

  1. What is the SCL equation for your regression output? This should be the first thing I see at the top of the page (below your name in the document header).
  2. What is your R^2 value and interpret the value that you found?
  3. What is the alpha coefficient that you found and interpret your value?
  4. What is the beta coefficient that you found and interpret your value? Also show the published beta from three internet vendors or your choice. Why are their numbers different than yours?
  5. Conduct test of statistical significance for the beta coefficient and the alpha coefficient. How do they both stack up factoring both the t-stat and the p-value as discussed in the lesson and in the textbook?
  6. What did you learn from this project? What questions does this analysis still leave you with? 

i ran the regression on excel but i have no idea how to read it. I need to answer the following questions for my paper. if you would like to see my excel file let me know. thank you
