W8: Practical wrap-up
You are opening your business in the next couple of months and your management team is coming on board. What is and how would you explain to them your perspective of the purchasing function?

For this discussion, focus on what you consider to be the 2 most important aspects. Reference the course readings or Internet research. If applicable, compare to an established organization.

This has 2 parts, please do them separately.
Part 1
Corporations can design securities that are not clearly debt and not clearly equity in attempts to accentuate the positive aspects of both and avoid the negative aspects. An example of this is redeemable preferred stock. The FASB addressed this issue in SFAS No. 150 (see FASB ASC 480). Present an argument in favor of reporting redeemable preferred stock as equity, basing your argument on the definition of elements in SFAC No. 6 and any other relevant aspects of the conceptual framework.

Part 2
Under GAAP, cumulative preferred dividends are reported as liabilities only if they have been declared by the corporation’s board of directors. Basing your argument on SFAC No. 6 definition of liabilities and the consequent characteristics of liabilities, argue that cumulative preferred dividends are not liabilities until they have been declared. Given that dividends in arrears are reported either parenthetically or in the footnotes, doe s it matter if dividends in arrears are not reported as a liabilities on the face of the balance sheet? Explain.

Describe the report: Give a brief description of the purpose of your report.
Define the question your report is trying to answer.
Explain when using linear regression is most appropriate.
When using linear regression, what would you expect the scatterplot to look like?
Explain the difference between response and predictor variables in a linear regression to justify the selection of variables.
Data Collection
Sampling the data: Select a random sample of 50 houses.
Identify your response and predictor variables.
Scatterplot: Create a scatterplot of your response and predictor variables to ensure they are appropriate for developing a linear model.
Data Analysis
Histogram: For your two variables, create histograms.
Summary statistics: For your two variables, create a table to show the mean, median, and standard deviation.
Interpret the graphs and statistics:
Based on your graphs and sample statistics, interpret the center, spread, shape, and any unusual characteristic (outliers, gaps, etc.) for the two variables.
Compare and contrast the shape, center, spread, and any unusual characteristic for your sample of house sales with the national population. Is your sample representative of national housing market sales?
Develop Your Regression Model
Scatterplot: Provide a graph of the scatterplot of the data with a line of best fit.
Explain if a regression model is appropriate to develop based on your scatterplot.
Discuss associations: Based on the scatterplot, discuss the association (direction, strength, form) in the context of your model.
Identify any possible outliers or influential points and discuss their effect on the correlation.
Discuss keeping or removing outlier data points and what impact your decision would have on your model.
Find r: Find the correlation coefficient (r).
Explain how the r value you calculated supports what you noticed in your scatterplot.
Determine the Line of Best Fit. Clearly define your variables. Find and interpret the regression equation. Assess the strength of the model.
Regression equation: Write the regression equation (i.e., line of best fit) and clearly define your variables.
Interpret regression equation: Interpret the slope and intercept in context.
Strength of the equation: Provide and interpret R-squared.
Determine the strength of the linear regression equation you developed.
Use regression equation to make predictions: Use your regression equation to predict how much you should list your home for based on the square footage of your home.
Conclusions
Summarize findings: In one paragraph, summarize your findings in clear and concise plain language for the CEO to understand. Summarize your results.
Did you see the results you expected, or was anything different from your expectations or experiences?
What changes could support different results, or help to solve a different problem?
Provide at least one question that would be interesting for follow-up research.
You can use the following tutorial that is specifically about this assignment. Make sure to check the assignment prompt for specific numbers used for national statistics. The videos may use different national statistics. You should use the national statistics posted with this assignment.

This week we are focusing on soils and soil health. Soils are an essential resource for maintaining ecological stability and provide both a matrix and nutrients for plant growth that becomes food for humans and
other animals to eat. In this discussion, you will learn more about what constitutes a healthy soil and start
to think about ways to assess soil quality. We will focus on ways to maintain soil health and touch on some of the threats to good soil quality.

The following sources available from Shapiro Library can help you get started thinking about managing our soil resource and the impact of human activities such as farming and construction:

Agriculture and Soil Conservation
Soil Profile
(these are attached)

Then, address the following questions about your research, making sure to relate your initial post to this
week’s readings and resources. Follow proper citation methods. Then answer the following questions for
the area you researched:

1. What area did you choose, and why did it interest you?
2. What are the major soil issues in this area?
3. What conservation efforts have taken place or are in the process for this area?

Assignment: Select a popular music songwriter or artist or band active after 1960 and before 2000 who was NOT (or will not be) covered in this class, and demonstrate how that individual’s (or group’s) musical career relates to or had an impact on a significant social issue (such as gender, race, class, immigration, or sexuality, for instance), historical event (such as the Vietnam war, Civil rights era), or social or cultural movement (women’s rights, environmentalism or anti- war activism, for instance). You may discuss how your artist relates to more than one of these categories, as they often overlap. Provide relevant background information concerning your chosen issue, event, or movement as well as your selected songwriter or artist such that it is clear how the two relate to each other. (Do not waste space on irrelevant biographical details.) Select one song by your artist that best exemplifies how she/he/they relate(s) to the issue, event, or movement you discuss. Be sure to address specifically musical details and demonstrate how they contribute to the relevance, meaning, or impact of your chosen song. You may discuss more than one song or recording, but you should focus on one so that you can sufficiently address specifically musical details. [There is a list of artists you CANNOT cover below]
