In the banking industry, the return on equity ratio or percentage is used to evaluate the financial performance of a bank. Such information is extremely valuable to investors.Calculate the return on equity (ROE) for a sample of 20 banks for the year before the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted. For the same sample of banks, calculate the ROE for the year following the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.Later, answer the following questions:After the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, was the average banks ROE lower than it was before the act? If so, why do you think that was the case?What is the null hypothesis for this hypothesis test?What is the alternative hypothesis for this hypothesis test?Choose at least three different significant levels to conduct the hypothesis test. Is it possible that a Type I error occurred with the hypothesis test? Why or why not?Is it possible that a Type II error occurred? Why or why not?Submit your answers in an eight- to ten-page Word document.

Decision Making and Framing ProcessYour organization is located in one

Decision Making and Framing ProcessYour organization is located in one of the largest metropolitan areas of the nation. Your organization hosts and supplies services to all the courts in the United States, including Guam and Puerto Rico. The power grid in your building is no longer able to handle the demand of power. They need to be relocated to other areas. The proposed areas are San Diego and Ashburn, Virginia. It would be more economical to fork-lift the entire server rooms at once to the proposed locations as opposed to moving a few pieces at a time. Additionally, the vendor who designs and installs the servers at the new locations is rigid on the due dates for receiving the planning drawings and will only build the designs per drawing specifications. Even if the vendor knows something is incorrect, they only build per written and signed off specifications. A consultant on the project knows that something is wrong but he does not notify anyone of the problem. A month later, when another vendor goes to install the power to the servers they notice that the server racks are off. The consultant calls back to the office to notify his supervisor that the vendor will not deliver power and lets it slip out that he knew about the potential problem a month ago. Each time the power vendor goes to the location, it costs more than $23,000 per day, full day’s work or not. The supervisor is angry because this could have been corrected over one month ago.Based on the scenario described above, create a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document that includes:An explanation of how you would handle the given situation.An analysis, identification, and reasoning of the theory that relates to this scenario.A description of how the framing process could affect this situation and whether things have turned around to the positive side.An analysis, identification, and reasoning for the person accountable for this situation, assuming that firing the consultant is not an option.An analysis and description of the kinds of check lists that should be in place to prevent the situation from happening in the future.Support your responses with examples.Cite any sources in APA format.

BTW 250, S4/T1 Spring 2017 (Gilmore) Analytic Assignment: Discipline-Specific WritingDue: Tuesday, February 21: upload your memo to Moodle by the beginning of classMonday, February 27; revised assignment, cover letter, fact sheet, and feedback memo,due on MoodleAssignmentThis assignment has three main components and one feedback document: an analytic memo,a fact sheet, a cover letter (sometimes called a letter of transmittal), and a feedbackdocument. These components will cover one main object which you should choose beforeyou begin. You should pick a textbook chapter, journal article, research report, or otherpiece of writing of equivalent length from your academic field. This can be a text assigned toyou from another course, from your research, or from your own interests, but should beacademically oriented.Writing from your perspective as a student and well-informed reader of the text at hand, youshould assess the purpose of your source text, address its quality, specify its notable features,and provide suggestions for its use. This will vary for each of you, but your goal is not topraise the work at hand, but to appraise it and offer suggestions about its implementation inits given context (i.e., within its field). You can consider any categories to address, but mustdiscuss the works prose style, use of language and jargon, and its accessibility. You shouldalso consider how the work is currently being used and what other uses it might be put to.Analytic Memo: Some of you may be familiar with analytic memos from other fields,but if not, the goal is to summarize, describe, and extract key information from agiven work or topic and offer analytic conclusions based on your observations andinsight. For this assignments purposes, your first publish should be about two to threepages in length, though your revised version will be longer.Fact Sheet/Key Elements: This should be a one-page (and one page only) well-formatteddocument that provides an overview of the key elements present in your main text, aswell as any additional information that you feel necessary. This will have somerepetition from your analytic memo, but should be concise and well-structured, withsome emphasis on readability and delivering clear information.Cover Letter: This should be a letter of about one page in length, addressed to theperson most responsible for the work you are addressing (the teacher who assignedthe textbook, the director of your lab research, etc.), and should set up your memo aswell as guide your reader to your key findings.All of this will be audience- and context-specific, so you must have a specific audience inmind. You should reach substantive conclusions based on your observations and shouldsupport them by pointing to specifics. Remember that your goal is to provide your analysis BTW 250, S4/T1 Spring 2017 (Gilmore) to your reader, with a consideration of their needs and your relationship with them. You willneed to make some decisions about your approach and range of topics up front and committo them, so make sure you know what you are trying to emphasize and focus on.We will have a peer-review exercise focused on this assignment, much like the one thataccompanied the Description Assignment. I will go over the details on the day of peerreview, but you should have a copy of your memo (the only portion required at that stage)uploaded to Moodle before class begins, so that it will be available during the peer-reviewsession. You will get feedback and advice from your peers. When you submit the finalrevised version of this assignment, you should summarize this feedback in a memo that youattach to your revision. Make sure to break the feedback into categories, use concretedetails, and your peers names. You should also briefly summarize your take-away and howyou tried to implement the feedback you received (not all of which you must use).
