Prompt We will analyze the data to answer the second research question: Which of the drugs (if either) delayed the recurrence of depression longer relative to the placebo?  In the previous lab-preparation activity, we identified Treat as the explanatory variable and Time as the response variable. We also determined that we will analyze the data using side-by-side boxplots and descriptive statistics (i.e. 5-number summaries since the graphs are boxplots). Make graphs and tables. Use StatCrunch to produce side-by-side boxplots. (directions) Embed your graphs with your initial post.  Use StatCrunch to produce the descriptive statistics (a table containing the 5-number summaries for each comparison group). (directions) Copy and paste the StatCrunch output table into your initial post. Analyze the data: Compare the distributions for the treatment groups as demonstrated in Unit 2. For example, compare medians and intervals of typical values. Describe the shape and any outliers. Be sure to write your comparisons so the reader can understand the context of the numbers. For example, don't just say the median is 30; instead, say something like this: on average patients taking the placebo relapsed in 30 days (Q2=30 days). Draw a conclusion: What can we conclude from your analysis? Did one drug successfully delay a relapse of depression better than the others? What evidence supports your conclusion? Summarize your conclusions in response to both research questions: In this lab you compared three treatments (two drugs and the placebo) using two different variables. In Part 1 you compared whether or not a relapse into depression occurred for each of the two drugs and the placebo. In Part 2 you compared the length of time until the next relapse for the two drugs and the placebo. What can you conclude in light of both analyses? Is one treatment better than the other? How does the data support your conclusion? This is the side by side that I have made in question Summary statistics for AcuteT: Group by: Treat   Treat n Mean Variance Std. dev. Std. err.

Problem Set #5Question 1At year-end 2018, Marvel Company total assets were $4.5 million, and its accounts payable were $850,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $5.5 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Marvel typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $ 2.25 million in 2018, and retained earnings were $150,000. Marvel has arranged to sell $25,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 2.5%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.a. What were Marvel’s total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018?b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019? (Hint: AFN – New stock = New long-term debt.)Question 2Mayor company sales are expected to increase by 20% from $5 million in 2018 to $6 million in 2019. Its assets totaled $7 million at the end of 2018. Mayor is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2018, current liabilities were $1.2 million, consisting of $500,000 of accounts payable, $300,000 of notes payable, and $400,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 60%.a. Use the AFN equation to forecast Mayor’s additional funds needed for the coming year.Question 3Suppose you decide (as did Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg) to start a company.Your product is a software platform that integrates a wide range of media devices, including laptop computers, desktop computers, digital video recorders, and cell phones. Your initial market is the student body at your university. Once you have established your company and set up procedures for operating it, you plan to expand to other colleges in the area and eventually to go nationwide. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, you plan to go public with an IPO and then to buy a yacht and take off for the South Pacific to indulge in your passion for underwater photography. With these issues in mind, you need to answer for yourself, and potential investors, the following questions.What is an agency relationship? When you first begin operations, assuming you are the only employee and only your money is invested in the business, would any agency conflicts exist? Explain your answer.If you expanded and hired additional people to help you, might that give rise to agency problems? Explain your answerSuppose you need additional capital to expand, and you sell some stock to outside investors. If you maintain enough stock to control the company, what type of agency conflict might occur? Suppose your company raises funds from outside lenders. What type of agency costs might occur? How might lenders mitigate the agency costs?Suppose your company is very successful, and you cash out most of your stock and turn the company over to an elected board of directors. Neither you nor any other stockholders own a controlling interest (this is the situation at most public companies). List six potential managerial behaviors that can harm a firm’s value.What is corporate governance? List five corporate governance provisions that are internal to a firm and under its control. What characteristics of the board of directors usually lead to effective corporate governance?List three provisions in the corporate charter that affect takeovers.Briefly describe the use of stock options in a compensation plan. What are some potential problems with stock options as a form of compensation?What is block ownership? How does it affect corporate governance?Briefly explain how regulatory agencies and legal systems affect corporate governance.Submit your answers in a Word document.
