...PART B (9.) According to the ‘All Cases’ tab there were 51899,000 people interviewed. The number of people represented in the total population of this tabulation is 17652,000 (11.) V%shows us that 28.6% of frozen vegetables were eaten by men who aged 35-49 years old in the last 7 days in Australia. H% shows us that 57.2% of men who aged 35-49 years old ate frozen vegetables in the last 7 days in Australia. The difference is that the information provided by V% is the direct relationship from the column group to row group and information provided by h% is the direct relationship from row group to column group. (12.) 14-17 year’s old women who eat dried fruit have the weighted count of 120,000 for the last 7 days in Australia. Women aged from 35-49 years old has the weighted count of 726,000 for the last 7 days in Australia. This shows that more women aged from 35-49 years old prefer eating dried fruit compared to women aged between 14 -17 years old because women aged from 35-49 years old needs more vitamin C and iron in their body as their getting old and their bones and nerve system may not be so efficient which makes their bones more fragile and the flow of their inflammatory nerve system not so smooth. Moreover, the women who aged from 35-49 years old has a different taste bud from the women aged from 14-17 years old because they would not prefer eating things which are very sour, sweet and bitter. The women aged 35-49 years old also eats more dried fruit compared to women...

...memorandum to: | Owner of the company | from: | jenna skinner | subject: | new business type | date: | January 7, 2015 | cc: | | | | I understand that you are currently operating as a sole proprietorship, but are looking to expand and have some concerns over liability, as well as profits and taxation. After reviewing your current situation and the key details of where you are hoping to be in the future, I have a recommendation for the form of business your company should change to. My recommendation would be to form an S-corporation. I feel as though this would meet your business needs, with several advantages, and minimal disadvantages. In your current situation, you are liable for not only your actions but also the actions of your employees on the company’s behalf. If you were to form a partnership, you would still be jointly liable for the same things, but with an S-corporation you are no longer liable for the company’s debts, as it will become it’s own separate entity. You and other shareholders of the company will only be liable for your investment in the company, and your personal assets will be protected should any debts of the company. When moving form a sole proprietorship to a corporation, there are typically concerns over taxes and profits As an S-corporation is not a taxable entity, shareholders at their individual rate on their personal taxes pay taxes. The corporation itself does not pay taxes on its income. This is a distinct advantage over other...

...Keller graduate school of management | Department Store part B | Week 6 project for AJ Davis | Information from the project for AJ Davis department store. Attached in this report is all information related to the information listed from Excel. | Results from Minitab findings The mean income was less than $50,000. The Null Hypothesis: which states the average annual income was greater than or equal to 50. The number of trials (n) is larger than 30 use ztest to check the hypothesis. With the Critical Value and decision rule: Reject H0 if Z –value is -1.645. By using the z-test the one sample z: results are as follows: z -3.02 p .001 mean 43.74. The p value .999 is larger than .05, so I would not reject the null hypothesis. The p value shows the probability of rejecting null hypothesis. The confidence level of .05 shows there is enough data to support the claim that the average annual income was less than $50,000. The confidence level at 99.5% is 38.41 and since 50 are above the 99.5% confidence level shows support for the claim that the mean income is less than $50,000. The proportion of customers who live in urban areas exceeds 40%. For this 21 out of the 50 people in the data live in an urban area. This equates to .42 so my point estimate would be .42 or 42%. The Ho: p=.40 vs. Ha: p >.40. z= .29. The reject area is z> 1.645; since .29 is less than 1.645 I would not reject Ho. The p value is .386. By not rejecting this is saying there is insufficient...

...to self-educate. Play stimulates a healthy imagination. Play may be therapeutic as it can help the child to work through events or feelings which they may have trouble expressing verbally. Play reflects the true self or personality of a child which may be a method for adults to understand the child better. Play is a way to learn social skills through interaction with other children or adults or through educational games. Play is good for a child’s self-esteem as it gives them freedom of choice and the ability to control their level of satisfaction derived from play. Task 2 A topic which is often under discussion is the importance of play to children in their developmental stage. Studies have shown that play forms a fundamental part of a child’s development. It is important to understand what the term “play” entails. Playing is a way for children to project their personalities. It is a process that is innate and personally/freely chosen. Play is present from childbirth and becomes more intricate and deeper explored with age. As play is cross-cultural and not gender/age bound, it is applicable to all children. An absence of play is often an indication of illness/disability or that children are in a negative environment. There are many different types of play. Some types include social, creative and dramatic play and are methods for children to develop on different levels. The importance of play will further be discussed in this essay, highlighting the positive effects...

...“Embryo Research is ethically justifiable.” - Discuss Genetic engineering is an umbrella term for all gene modification and research that is taking place in modern science. Embryonic research has results in multiple successes including stem cell research but has come under serious controversy for using potential life for gain with no regard for that life. T - Kantian Ethics is purely deontological looking at doing duty for duties sake not the outcome of an action therefore for Kantian ethics to agree with the statement Embryonic research must pass the categorical imperative. I - An example of embryonic research includes eugenic genetic engineering in which germ-line therapy to create a better ‘race’ of people by changing the genetic makeup of future generations. C - Although eugenic genetics is illegal in most countries, examples have been seen throughout history such as Hitler’s arian race in which he tried to exterminate other unworthy races like jews. K - Eugenic engineering would have to passed the principle of universalisability; in which the moral choice would have to be universal across everyone worldwide without conflict interests. Eugenic engineering would not be successful, by choosing to create a certain race it would create huge conflict from those who do not fit the model. Minorities would be ignored and potentially discriminated upon. E - When applied to the issue, the principle of universalisability becomes an unrealistic choice to make an ethical decision...

...made sure to select Ch. 8 “Enhancing Relationships” because I felt it was much easier then the rest of the options. After voting Michael and choosing Ch. 8 as our assigned presentation we skimmed through the pages within the chapter highlighting keywords and main points we can use to benefit out presentation. We chose to divide the chapter into 4 equal parts all under what the title of our chapter says “ Enhancing Relationships”. Although we only found three solid sections; Family, Friends, Colleagues, we decided to add another topic that does support our cause. I helped assign corresponding sub-divisions to each member and allowed them to choose which of the 4 topics they felt most comfortable with. After this we used the rest of class to align ourselves properly and gather any useful information that would help us out. From here on we were on our own. As days passed we all made sure to keep in contact through the means of email and over the phone. My own responsibilities were to make sure to everyone understood their portion and were able to portray it onto a PowerPoint. I strongly feel the least of a grade I should receive is an B for my intuition and effort with participation and group...

...Part B Creative Design Questions 1. What are the top three things that make a single player game stand out to you? A) FUN. This may be obvious but the most important part about a good game is whether is fun to play or not. To me, a fun game is game that has mechanics that work together to create interesting dynamics, and has a level design that properly challenges the player in the use of those mechanics. B) VARIED. One of the things that define a good single player game, or any game for that matter, is how the game’s systems prevent stagnation and repetitiveness. If a player is going to spend many hours playing a game the experience must keep evolving and demanding the attention of the player in different ways. When a game becomes repetitive a player will lose all interest and the game will fail. C) IMMERSIVE. The ability to create an experience that’s immersive. By this I mean how the game’s mechanics work in conjunction with the visual style, the music, and the story to create a cohesive experience. A good game can have solid mechanics, but a great game will try to mix that with other areas. 2. What single player games have exceptional player or AI systems and what makes them so great? I think that all Zelda games have great player systems. The success of the Zelda formula, in the realm of player systems at...

...Calveta Dining Services, Inc. Jinu JosephPA1115 | Abstract Calveta Dining Services, Inc. was a $2 billion, privately held firm that provided food services to almost 1000 senior living facilities (SLF’s) in the United States. Antonio Calveta, the founder of Calveta Dining retired in 2007 after 35 years of leadership and he named his eldest son Frank as the new CEO and told him to double the company’s revenues within a space of 5 years. The dilemma that Frank was facing was that even after 2 years into this job of his he did not have any credible strategies to fulfill his father’s promise or to attain aggressive growth as his father wanted. Calveta Dining Services owed its success to Antonio Calveta’s passion for food, traditional family values and the customized services they offered to the SLF residents. Frank was named CEO of the company over his other siblings including his sister Jennifer Calveta who was more suited for the job, now Frank was left with the option of expanding their business by acquiring Great South West Dining (GSD) or to enter into the hospital segment and diversify their business and at least try and come close to meeting his promise to his father. Analysis The United States Census Bureau’s survey showed that only 25% of the total SLF’s in USA had contracted to food services, this survey alone shows that there is a great potential for growth in the SLF’s segment and therefore it would have been meaningful for Frank to buy Great South West Dining...

...Matrix: The Comparative Response Matrix is an important tool used to study the competition between two companies. The matrix has three parameters namely Price, Quality and Advertisement. These three parameters give a 3x3 matrix which give us nine different action-response parameters. The matrix can be drawn as follows: COMPANY B(Response) | COMPANY A(Action) | | | Price | Quality | Advertising | | Price | Cp,p | Cq,p | | | | | | Ca,p | | | | | | | Quality | Cp,q | Cq,q | Ca,q | | Advertising | Cp,a | Cq,a | Ca,a | Table1. Comparative Response matrix Therefore all the nine parameters mentioned in the table signify the responses taken by company B against the actions taken by company A. We can further discuss each parameter separately using examples from the industry in detail. 1. Cpp : The Cpp determines that the company B has responded to company A’s action with the same tool. We may witness this more often in the sectors with larger consumer base where the number of consumers is significantly high. The tool here that is used to combat the action of the company A is price. In this strategy, Company B may respond in either way to the action of company A. Suppose Company A...

...Career Plan Reflection BCOM/275 3 November 2014 Bruce McEwan, Ph.D. Career Plan Reflection I found the Career Plan Building Activity to be both helpful and trivial. There were 4 segments in this survey tool and I noticed dead accurate results on the first two but the remaining two seemed illogical and contradictory. The Career Interests Profiler segment results showed I would excel in any technical field to include engineering, law and technical sales. I could definitely understand the results and the questions in the survey seemed to be logical and presented in a way to which I wasn’t forced to contradict myself as I would see in a later segment. The Competencies segment was also logical and I would agree with the findings. It showed strengths in the areas of taking initiative, coping with pressure, applying expertise, writing, researching and presenting. I do hold myself to a high standard in all of those categories and already consider those some of my strengths. Under the Work Culture Preference section I found the questions to be trivial and the restrictions on how the answers were to be submitted forced me to directly contradict previous answers. There were a great number of questions repeated but due to the compound questions and the format in which they were presented I found myself frustrated and unable to accurately answer. An example is similar to having the user choose their single favorite and single least favorite among three choices: dogs, leadership...

...Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning Segmentation, targeting, and positioning together comprise a three stage process. We first (1) determine which kinds of customers exist, then (2) select which ones we are best off trying to serve and, finally, (3) implement our segmentation by optimizing our products/services for that segment andcommunicating that we have made the choice to distinguish ourselves that way. Segmentation involves finding out what kinds of consumers with different needs exist. In the auto market, for example, some consumers demand speed and performance, while others are much more concerned about roominess and safety. In general, it holds true that “You can’t be all things to all people,” and experience has demonstrated that firms that specialize in meeting the needs of one group of consumers over another tend to be more profitable. Generically, there are three approaches to marketing. In the undifferentiatedstrategy, all consumers are treated as the same, with firms not making any specific efforts to satisfy particular groups. This may work when the product is a standard one where one competitor really can’t offer much that another one can’t. Usually, this is the case only for commodities. In the concentratedstrategy, one firm chooses to focus on one of several segments that exist while leaving other segments to competitors. For example, Southwest Airlines focuses on price sensitive consumers who will forego meals and assigned seating for low prices...
