Glentech Manufacturing is considering the purchases of an automated parts handler for theassembly and test area of its Phoenix, Arizona, plant. The handler will costs $250,000 topurchase plus $10,000 for installation and employee training. If the company undertakes theinvestment, it will automate a part of the semiconductor test area and reduce operatingcosts by $70,000 per year for the next 10 years. However, five years into the investment’slife, Glentech will have to spend an additional $100,000 to update and refurbish the handler.The investment in the handler will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation over 10-years, and the refurbishing costs willbe depreciated over the remaining five-year life of thehandler (also using straight-line depreciation). In 10 years, the handler is expected to beworth $5,000 although its book value will be zero. Glentech’s tax rate is 30%, and itsopportunity cost of capital is 12%.a)Is the project good for Glentech?

  During a recent presidential election there was an individual vying for the democratic nomination who believed in universal basic income. His name is Andrew Yang. While it might seem far fetched to some, universal basic income has been researched for over 50 years and various public and private entities have conducted their own experiments with this idea.  For the purposes of this assignment, students will research a universal basic income experiment in the United States; currently being implemented or historic. Students will discuss the experiment, utilizing their knowledge of liberal, conservative and progressive perspectives to help identify, discuss, and explain the pros and cons of the experiment

Imagine you were conducting research on the relationship between academic performance (e.g., better grades) and different levels of loudness of music (interval scale) while studying. How would you design the study using a correlational design? How would you design the study using a quasi-experimental design? How would you design the study using an experimental design?

April owns a rental house. She rents the house to college students and includes electricity in the cost of rent. She would like you to help her do some analysis on the costs over the last year to decide if she wants to increase the rental cost based on this expense. The data on the “Electric” worksheet includes the number of residents in the house and the Kilowatt hours (KWh) used for the previous year. Complete the tasks to help April make her decision. 1.1 Create a table from the existing data in range B2:G14 of the “Electric” worksheet. Notice that row 2 (the first row of the data) has column headings. 1.2 Add a calculated column to the end of the table.

April owns a rental house. She rents the house to college students and includes electricity in the cost of rent. She would like you to help her do some analysis on the costs over the last year to decide if she wants to increase the rental cost based on this expense.

1.1
Create a table from the existing data in range B2:G14 of the “Electric” worksheet. Notice that row 2 (the first row of the data) has column headings.
1.2
Add a calculated column to the end of the table.
a. Enter the column heading “KWh Cost”.
b. The column should calculate the cost of the total KWh used based on the cost per KWh for each month.
c. The total cost is calculated by muliplying the KWh by Cost per KWh for each row of the table.
1.3
Add a calculated column to the end of the table (column I).
a. Enter the column heading “KWh per Resident”.
b. The KWh per resident is calculated by dividing the KWh by the Residents for each row of the table.
1.4
Sort the table by “KWh” in descending order.
