During the global recession of 2008 and 2009, there were many accusations of unethical behavior by Wall Street executives, financial managers, and other corporate officers. At that time, an article appeared that suggested that part of the reason for such unethical business behavior may have stemmed from the fact that cheating had become more prevalent among business students, according to a February 10, 2009, article in the Chronicle of Higher Education. The article reported that 56% of business students admitted to cheating at some time during their academic career as compared to 47% of nonbusiness students.Cheating has been a concern of the dean of the college of business at Bo Diddley Tech (BDT) for several years. Some faculty members in the college believe that cheating is more widespread at BDT than at other universities, whereas other faculty members think that cheating is not a major problem in the college. To resolve some of these issues, the dean commissioned a study to assess the current ethical behavior of business students at BDT. As a former college athlete herself, the dean believed that the spirit of fair play students develop as part of participating in athletics would make them less likely to cheat. As part of this study, an anonymous exit survey was administered to a sample of 240 students from this year's graduating class, half of whom were business students and half of whom were not. The survey asked various questions, including the student's college and if the student was an athlete or not. Responses of the various questions were fed into a computer algorithm that made a quantitative determination as to whether the student should be considered a "cheater" or not. The results are in the attached Excel spreadsheet, "Benchmark - Bo Diddley Tech Data Set." Prepare a managerial report as part of your submission to the dean of the college that summarizes your assessment of the nature of cheating at BDT. Be sure to include the following items in your written report.Utilize the data set provided by the instructor in the Excel spreadsheet, "Benchmark - Bo Diddley Tech Data Set" (60 records per student).Submit the Excel data calculations (Alpha 0.05).Make a pivot table with: Business Student (Rows), Athlete (Rows), Cheated (Columns), and Cheated (Summed Value).Create a bar chart showing cheating by athletes and business students.Determine if there is a statistical difference between nonathlete BDT business students and the national average for business students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education.Determine if there is a statistical difference between athlete BDT business students and the national average for business students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education.Determine if there is a statistical difference between BDT business students and the national average for business students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education.Determine if there is a statistical difference between BDT nonbusiness students and the national average for nonbusiness students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education.Utilizing the data you have analyzed, write a managerial report of 500-800 words for the dean. The managerial report needs to include an introduction, analysis, conclusion, and a minimum of three supporting references.Introduction (Define): Explain, in your own words, why you are providing this report and the problem(s) you are trying to solve.Collect: Describe the data set you used.Organize: Describe your pivot table.Visualize: Include and describe your bar chart.Analyze: Provide a summary of your conclusions based on the four population proportion hypothesis tests.Ethical Summary: The dean has expressed a concern related to the amount of cheating currently taking place at BDT and has strongly suggested that you "tweak" the statistical data such that they favor the image of the university. Discuss the potential use of unethical manipulation of statistical data to provide a biased outcome as well as the ethical counter proposal you would offer the dean in this scenario.Conclusion: What advice would you give to the dean based upon your analysis of the data?You are required to submit your Excel data analysis along with your written report.Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Bank USA" Please respond to the following:From the case study, determine the challenges faced by the Help Desk at Bank USA and suggest strategies to mitigate them.Using the data on call volume in the case, select a forecasting model to forecast the short-term demand. Justify why this model was selected over other forecasting models. Support your position. Lastly, respond to at least one (1) post of your peers.Below is a peers discussion post in which I’ll have to provide a response too. Paris Brown RE: Week 6 DiscussionWhen you review the Bank USA case there are challenges which can be identified from the case study and you can provide the methods for mitigating this challenges.In the first case you can look at the number of calls which they receive worldwide which might be a challenge for them in answering the calls.You should look at the inadequate workforce .Finally you have to look at how the statistical method can be used in the case of the results so as to be able to determine what might happen in the course of the time.Explanation:From the second case study, determine the challenges faced by the Help Desk at Bank USA and suggest strategies to mitigate them.Basically in the first case you have to look at large number of callers where they have got insufficient staff to handle this calls.You have to also look at the business have inadequate personnel working in other part of the business where you can summarize this by Mr.Miami being tired at 7.42 am which showed he was working overnight.If there was a recording for how long wait time for call is could have been helpful or giving customer option to leave a number for call back or continue to hold.We have only three full time employees to attend support of worldwide market with different time zones which could have been helpful if the number is increased.Using the data on call volume in the case, select a forecasting model to forecast the short-term demand. Justify why this model was selected over other forecasting models. Support your position.When it comes to method to be used then you have to look at statistical method which could be helpful because past data can be used to determine what might happen down line in time.Looking at the call some days have higher callers than others without set pattern to days like first of month around middle it is over the place.Method has regression for addition of other factors that will give changes due to the market conditions or probably political change in other market which might affect the international calls where this is my own thought according to the case.

Respond to three questions and solve three computational problems about time value of money (TMV) as it applies to single cash flow.Time value of money (TVM) is the foundation of mathematical finance. It is important to be able to demonstrate how the TVM concept can be applied to corporate finance, as well as to personal finances. It addition, knowing how to apply various technical terms used in finance, such as discount rate, present value, and future value, is a useful skill.SHOW LESSBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:Competency 1: Evaluate the global financial environment.

Recalculate the account balance using a 6 percent interest rate and a 7 percent interest rate.A $450 deposit earns 6 percent interest in the first year, 3 percent interest in the second year, and 7 percent interest in the third year. What is the future value at the end of the third year?What is the annual rate of return for an $8,000 investment if in five years it grows to $12,500? Assuming the growth occurred in six years and then eight years, recalculate the rate of return for these two scenarios.
