Chapter 7

Become a Fair food activist means we need to shift from conscious consumers to engaged

citizens. The ways to become a Fair food activist are following: To eat seasonally, shop locally,

organic, free-range, grass-fed beef, buying clubs, and community gardens. Eat food seasonally

can decrease the number of miles that food is transported. Freezing and hoop houses are ways to

extend the season for eating locally. Organic food is the foods grow in a standard environment.

Free-range means that chickens have access to the outside, but this requirement only pertains to

chickens raised for meat. Grass- fed beef means the cows are fed only grass and forage for their

entire life, it is better than fed them grain. Buying club is a organized group of people that buying

lots of things directly from producer. Community gardens a piece of land gardened by a group of

people. It decrease family food budgets, promotes good nutrition and physical exercise, and get

close to fresh foods.

A buying club is organized group of people who purchase in bulk directly from the producer.

They share the savings that come from more favorable pricing and shipping fees among the

members of the club.

Chapter 8

The institution include restaurant, public schools and universities, health care institutions. For

school, schools can make good food such as transform food options for children in urban

schools, Connects educational institutions with local farmers, and also Recruits young adults for

a yearlong term of public service in school food systems. For Health Care Institutions, they can

make a difference, such like health care without harm, or healthy food in health care. For

example, hospitals account for $12 billion of annual purchasing power for foods, it could make a

difference if health care institutions shifted to healthier food options.

Nutrition 2000 Case study #1

1. According to the BMI chart, the reference BMI for 19-30 years old is 21.5 which refers to 64 inches height and 126 pounds weight. Tonya is 66 inches and only weight 107 pounds. Therefore she is underweight.

2. Tonya’s body fat is approximately 18% which is in the range between healthy and unhealthy but tend to be more unhealthy.

3. There are lots of reasons that can cause not ovulating. According to the paragraph, it says Tonya has experiencing a four year amenorrhea, which means hormonal problems could be one reason. Another main reason could be Tonya’s low weight she kept for four years. Also, Tonya’s daily caffeine intake may be high enough to influence her body’s ovulating. Or maybe she does not watch her diet, for example she drinks alcohol a lot. Even exercises little can affect her body too.

4. According to the text book, “weight loss that exceeds approximately 10-15% of usual weight decrease estrogen, LH, and FSH concentrations”. Therefore Tonya’s average estrogen level would likely to drop to abnormal range.

5. The reason I can consider is even if Clomid or another ovulation inducing drug may have a fast effect to Tonya’s body. Taking drug is the short term solution. Being healthy with a normal BMI and body fat is the long term plan. Another reason could be the side effect of the drugs if she take the pills which can affect her health. Therefore for her own health, she chooses the gain weight rather than take pills.

NUTRITION 2200 Milk REPORT

Yulei Qian

Thursday 5-8 P.M. GA: Joseph Gast & Daniel Prenatt

Lab was performed in 10/26/2016

Purpose

This experiment is called Milk. And this experiment has multiple purpose. Basically is to

compare different type of milk’s appearance, consistency, flavor, aroma and composition of

various commercial milk products in first step. The second purpose is to test the effect that

heat or acid change whole milks’ condition. The next purpose is to test various flour may have

influence on consistency of white sauce. Also, to gain some experiences of preparation of white

sauce and milk foams, and to compare the ease of preparation, stability and characteristics of

various milk foam. To investigate the effect of temperature on the preparation of whipped

cream, prepared butter from whipping cream and vanilla pudding, and compare whole milk and

non-dairy milk substitute which made pudding.

Methodology

There are five components of this experiment. The first one is called “Milk products”, which

is test the appearance, consistency, flavor, aroma and composition of various commercial milk

products. The second one is called the “coagulation of fresh milk”, which is test the effect of

heat and acid that may influence milk coagulation. For the heat one, students just heat the

125ml of whole milk in saucepan and see if a thick skin would appear when heating some time.

And for the acid one, students just add 5ml vinegar once at time and each time test the PH

value for the new solution. The third one is called “basic white sauce”, which is to test various

flour may have influence on consistency of white sauce. The fourth one is to make vanilla

pudding using different types of milk such like whole milk or reconstituted dry dairy or yogurt.

The last one is to make milk foams in different conditions such like in cold bowl, warm bowl,

evaporated milk, reconstituted non-fat milk, and butter milk.

Results

In the first experiment, the data shows below.

2. Coagulation of fresh milk

For the heat one, milk component involved in the film on the milk surface is whey, and milk

component involved in precipitation on the bottom of the saucepan is milk’s calcium

phosphate. Milk component involved in the browning on the bottom of the saucepan is

caused by Millard reaction, which involves interaction of protein and lactose. And for the

effect of acid, 5ml of vinegar cause a PH of 6, while 10 ml of vinegar cause PH of 6. A 15ml of

vinegar cause a PH of 5, and a 20ml of vinegar cause a 4.5 PH. 30ml of vinegar cause a 4.5

PH and finally 35ml vinegar cause a 4 PH.

3. Basic white sauce

From the data, the results from the whole class is somehow close to Wednesday’s data,

there are some differences though.

Discussion

What should happen is people are all doing good job in this experiment and they all get

different data from their experiments. But each session has different data. For example, the

linespead and Brookfield, the difference may be occurred by using equipment inappropriately,

and the inaccurate in Brookfield may be caused by uncleaned equipment using by last group.

And according to Busch, heating and acid effect on milk is called denaturation, heat breaks the

bonds that hold together the secondary and tertiary structures, but it doesn’t alter the original

chain of amino acids. Some proteins denature at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, but most unfold

around 130 degrees Fahrenheit, which cause thick skin on top (2014).

Summary

According to the test results, people participated in the lab really did a good job. People did

good on tasting milks on first experiment and third experiment can really prove that most of

students really did accuracy testing. The experiments have many outside factors that may

influence the results. For example, like the residue on the equipment from last group may

influence next group’s measurement. Maybe next time, people may clean the equipment they

used for the next group.

Nutr 3000

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant and cofactor which plays muti-function in the

body. Deficiencies in vitamin C can lead to scurvy, bone pain, and affect wound healing. This

review examines the functional importance of vitamin C as it relates to the development and

maintenance of bone tissues. Analysis shows Vitamin C has a positive effect on bone health.

Overall, vitamin C exerts a positive effect on trabecular bone formation by influencing

expression of bone matrix genes in osteoblasts. “Recent studies on the molecular pathway

for vitamin C actions that include direct effects of vitamin C on transcriptional regulation of

target genes by influencing the activity of transcription factors and by epigenetic modification of

key genes involved in skeletal development and maintenance are discussed”. With an

understanding of metabolism of vitamin C and knowledge of precise molecular pathways

for vitamin C actions in bone cells, it is possible that new strategies can be figured for the

treatment of osteoporotic fractures.

Nutr 3100

The recent 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans contained some surprising findings. what did

they conclude about:

a. dietary cholesterol

Though there is no straight evidence shows relationship between consumption of dietary

cholesterol and blood cholesterol, changing the diet is the most effect way to lower blood

cholesterol. And it is ok to eat moderate saturated fats, but we should avoid trans fats all the

time.

b. trans fat

Trans fats are found in many fast foods, junk foods and commercial processed food, and we

should avoid trans fats all the time because it links to heart disease with no doubt.

c. red meat (and maybe eggs)

Research has shown that eating moderation red meat and eggs can have the opposite effects on

cardiovascular disease. Red meat and egg eventually convert into TMAO in the body. TMAO is

a factor that promotes vascular inflammation and formation of unstable plaques in arterial walls.

Based on these findings, what would your recommend to patients/clients?

Go Mediterranean is recommend, Mediterranean diet reduced the risk of cardiovascular events

because of the extra virgin olive oil or nuts.

If you have high blood pressure, you can still cat salt but you need to decrease your salt

consumption in order to decrease the top number of blood pressure. The biggest factor of

reducing high blood pressure is to lose weight.

Yulei Qian

I am currently a senior attending Ohio University, in the Applied Nutrition-

Dietetics program and enrolled in the Diabetes Certificate. I chose this major is

because I want to make some changes for a healthier life, start from myself, then I

can tell others how to eat a better and healthier diet in their life.

I plan to graduate in May of 2018. Before graduation, I plan to find a job

related in applied nutrition, like clinical dietitian, or a dietitian counselor. For the

next five to ten years, I may start my own clinic. For this summer, I really hope I

can finish my dietetic internship, which is a really good experience for me and this

would really help me in my future career.

Last summer I went back home and volunteered in a non-profit organization

called “Zhejiang Big love”, that helps old people prevent the Alzheimer disease. In

this origination, I experienced a lot team work, teammate and teammate

collaboration. Also, I really enjoyed talking with old people, they were funny and

fully experienced. I really hope that next time I can work with some patients in

hospital.

I am also passionate in diabetes, psychology and environment health, that is

why I am getting my diabetes certificate, psychology and environment health

minor degree when I graduate. This fall, I started work at shively hall, just get

closed to foods and get some basic experiences.

My career goal is to become a dietitian. I like to talk to people and I really love

to help them with their diet issues. I would really like to start at non-profit

organization, get in touch with others and get familiar with my work. My interests

also include environment health, diabetes and psychology, which I intend to

incorporate into my career.

Module 1

Yulei

Hi Ryan, how are you doing today?

Ryan

I’m doing pretty good. How are you?

Yulei

I’m doing great. Thank you. So let’s go ahead and start the day. Last week we talked about that

you have some concerns about your body weight. Is that ture?

Ryan

Yes, I really have a busy schedule at weekdays,so I usually pick up some prepared foods from

restaurant such like soups and salad for my lunch. Then I am always tired after work, so I

usually skip the meal instead of making foods by my own. But I usually eat some snacks when I

watch TV at night like ice-cream or potato chips. I know it is bad for my health and my weight

that eat at late night, but they are just so good and I am so hungry that I can’t stop eating them.

Yulei

I understand. I know it has been a big struggle for you, but we are gonna work through

together. How about doing your own meals at night or asking some friends to eat out nicely?

Ryan

I really appreciate you said so. And I probably can do it.

Yulei

If you are willing, let’s make a list of advantages and disadvantages of skip the meal Let’s write

them down on these cards.

Ryan

Ok sure. I can do that.

Yulei

Let’s start with the positive sides. What are some advantages of skipping meals at night?

Ryan

Well, if I don’t eat out, then I can save some money.

Yulei

OK, how about the negative sides?

Ryan

Well, it is bad for my health if I cut the dinner, I can’t get enough nutrients for the day, and in

long time, it may cause a health complication. Also, my doctor worries about my weight

problem for a long time

Yulei

So when looking at the pros and cons, what seem compelling right now?

Ryan

It is obvious that pros are better than cons, so I will definitely change my current eating habits.

Yulei

I am glad that you have made you mind of changing your diet for your lunch and dinner.

Ryan

So what are some ways I can change my condition right now?

Yulei

From what you told me, I can see that you are ready to change your eating habits. I think we

can start with changing your lunch. Maybe take a short break at your work days with a nicely

meal ordered and delivered, or, you can make your foods the night before the work day, these

two are both enjoyable and nutritious. Then when you go back to home after work, you can

either order a delivery or make foods by your own, or asking some friends to eat out with you.

But I really recommend that buying a simple cook book, and learn some courses. Is that sounds

good?

Ryan

Yes, I think I can try. Thanks for helping and understanding

Yulei

That’s my pleasure. Looking forward to hearing about how it’s going during our next session.

Module 2

[Both Take Seats] RYAN

Hello Yulei! It’s great to see you this afternoon. How are you doing?

YULEI I’m doing pretty well, thanks for asking!

RYAN

How have things been going since we last talked?

YULEI (Breaks eye contact, looks slightly disappointed and sighs) Well you know, I have been trying

really hard to control my eating habits but I am having trouble with late night snack cravings. I feel like I am not making any progress. It frightens me especially now that I have been

diagnosed with type 2 diabetes

RYAN Okay (Nodding to show understanding). We all make mistakes here and there. You have kept pretty consistent with your diet other than the light night snack cravings. What other snack

foods have you been consuming?

YULEI I tend to buy snacks like cheese its and lays potato chips, I usually try to eat least buy one that has reduced fats. Basically, any sort of snack to tie me over until the next meal so that I don’t

eat too large of portion sizes. The problem is I usually eat too many snack foods during the day and then when it comes times to actually eat a meal I don’t consume enough and then by night time I am hungry again. I don’t want to take the time and prepare a whole meal so I usually just

eat a good amount of whatever snack food is on hand.

RYAN (scratches chin) Ok, I can see where you are having some troubles. Me being your counselor, I

am here to try to give you advice and choose to eat healthier snack and meal options so we can improve your diet and lessen the complications that come with your diabetes.

YULEI

What are some ways I can lessen my snack cravings for these less healthy food options?

RYAN From what you told me, it seems that you aren’t that disciplined with your diet. If you continue to over indulge with these snack foods you truly won’t make any progress. You could start by

purchasing healthier snack options since that seems to be your biggest struggle as well as learn portion control. I think if we start by replacing those cheese its and potato chips with something like some apple slices with some peanut butter we can make progress on your portion control issues because it will keep you full for longer instead of the empty carb snacks that you have

cravings for. This is just merely an example, there are plenty of options we can explore to get you on the right track you just have to show to me that you are committed. Are you willing to

try replacing these snacks with healthier options as a start and we can go on from there?

YULEI (Nods head) Yeah I think I can do it!

RYAN

Ok great! On scale of 1 to 10, 1 not being ready and 10 being 100% ready to change right now, how prepared do you think you are to make these changes for good?

YULEI

Honestly, I feel like I am at about 8, once I commit to something I keep my word and try to reach goals

RYAN

Ok great you seem like you are very ready for change what made you say an 8 instead of something lower such as a 5 or 6?

YULEI

I know how important this weight loss is to my health, I need to eat healthy and be healthy. Plus it will help reduce any further complications with my diabetes

RYAN

You seem like a very will-hearted person and I strongly believe with your strong personal values you can do this, these changes won’t be something you regret I can guarantee that.

YULEI

Thank you so much for the support, I feel even more confident now that I have your support and advice to help me make these changes.

RYAN Awesome! I feel like we are on the same page and we have the right chemistry to do this. You

have some of the strongest determination I have ever seen. If you ever start to feel discouraged just keep that inner drive you have going. I am looking forward to the next visit

with you and see your progress.

ENG 1610

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine

Yulei Qian

Ohio University

The conflict between Russia and Europe influence Ukraine

It was a very long history that the relationship between Russia and Europe is not that good.

After the end of World War Ⅱ, the president of the England, Winston Leonard Spencer

Churchill made a speech at 1946 called the "iron curtain" speech, was an incident that touches

off a war. Between 1947 and 1991, The United State and North Atlantic Treaty Organization,

which include the England, France, Germany and other 19 countries as major military power in

North America and Europe, had a Cold War at that time with Warsaw Treaty Organization and

the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which include Russia, White Russia, Ukraine and other

15 countries. The Cold War had lasting for 54 years and it was not only military war, but also

political struggles. It was called the Cold War because North Atlantic Treaty Organization and

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was avoiding the actual war at that time. They compete the

technology of Military, the science and the diplomacy. Because of many reasons, like strategy

changes, division of Germany, at 1991, the leader of United State and the Union of Soviet

Socialist Republics announced together that the cold war was ended, and the Union of Soviet

Socialist Republics announced they were collapsed (History learning site).

In 2013 November, the crisis in Ukraine began, according to the report of BBC, “Outraged

by the move towards Moscow, anti-government demonstrations take place in Kiev with an

estimated 100,000 on the streets. By December, some 800,000 people rally in the capital and

protesters occupy city hall and Independence Square. And In mid-January, parliament passes

restrictive anti-protest laws as clashes turn deadly. Anti-Yanukovych protesters begin storming

regional government offices in other parts of western Ukraine. And On 20 February, 2014,

bloodshed reaches its worst since the start of the crisis. At least 88 people are killed in 48 hours

in Kiev, which is the capital of Ukraine” (BBC).

The Ukrainian situation continues to worsen. According to Davidson, The Ukrainian

military has lost over half its well-developed armor because of the crisis, about 70 percent of

Ukrainian wounded personnel long-range artillery and rocket strikes that Ukraine is unable to

counteract. Total separatist forces now about 36000, and the most of participation people are

Ukrainian citizens themselves, and about 1000 to 10000 are Russian citizens. Approximately 5.2

million people were affected by the crisis, and more than one million people were displaced. And

most of these Terrorist Attack are organized by nongovernment organization (Davidson).

The conflict between Russia and Europe has been through over half a century since then. In

Middle 90 century, Ukraine is part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Then Ukraine was

having Political struggle Since the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were collapsed in 1991.

First, the Location is one of the causes. Russia is in the East of Ukraine, and Poland is in the

West of Ukraine. However, Ukraine located geographically in Europe. And also, Ukraine has

been torn between east and west since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Ukrainian is the

main language in western regions. However, Russian is predominant in parts of the east and

south (Rozin).

Second, Crimea has been merging into Russia since March 13rd, 2014. Russia regard

Crimea’s action as s a reunion and Russia said they respect for the right of self-determination

Crimea made. In the meanwhile, the West consider that as a menace to European security and a

violation of territorial integrity (Rozin).

Another potential reason is Ukraine was having thoughts about join both Russia and

European Union for a long time though it is located in Europe, and it is another potential cause

of conflict between Russia and Europe. The hesitation of the government in Ukraine, which do

not decided to join Europe or Russia, and they not only relay on the resources in Russian, but

also have the thoughts to join the European Union. Ukraine now is in a dilemma situation.

Because government do not make the move, there are some conflicts between the citizens in

Ukraine that support European and the Russian stay in Ukraine support the Russia.

The president of Russia Putin, said “Ukraine's crisis has been caused by the West”, he

“considers Franco-German proposals to end fighting between the government and pro-Russia

rebels.” He believes that the western countries broke the pledges, which means in 1990, United

States promise the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics before they collapsed that NATO would

not expand into Eastern Europe. But look at the satiation now, European are forcing these

countries in Eastern Europe to choose EU or Russia (BBC).

On Saturday, February 17, 2015, President Putin insisted that his country was innocent, he

said during a visit to Sochi on the Black Sea that they were not planning to fight with anyone,

they wanted to solve the problem peacefully, and they planned to cooperate with everybody. On

the other hand, President of Germany, Merkel just said they are not trying to scare Putin,

Sending arms to Ukraine will not scare Putin, but it could lead a war happen (Parfitt).

As I mention above, the president of Russian Putin, considers that the caused by the West. In

fact, EU indeed sanction the Ukraine. According to the EU news, they did some restrictions such

like freeze the assets, and prohibit the Visa, which means Ukraine citizens may not be able to

enter European countries that easy. This action effect 145 persons and 24 entities responsible for

the action against Ukraine's territorial integrity. Also, EU prohibit the imports from Crimea and

Sevastopol, and stated the law that making an investment in Crimea and Sevastopol were

outlawed since then (European Union Newsroom).

There must be solutions to the conflicts. According to President Barroso, who was the

11th President of the European Commission, consider that the conflict between Russia and

Ukraine can be solved without war. But there are not so much time left for Ukraine to hesitate to

make a compromise. The European Council asked European Commission to make a further

proposals for some restrictive measures. Because the Commission have done the same things

before, President Barroso was pretty sure that EU leaders could make this happen really quickly.

Though restriction is sort of a solution, President Barroso insisted that these ways are not the

best. It is just a way to show Russia that the behavior in 21st century is not appropriate. EU want

Russia work with them and also with Ukraine peacefully, and that would be the best way of this

solution (European Commission).

Mr. Hollande, the foreign secretary. He said he against arming Ukraine and Philip

Hammond. He also said the UK supports a diplomatic solution. “At the moment we do not feel

that the supply of arms would be a helpful contribution,” said by Mr Hammond. “And so long as

there is something approximating a military stalemate, the focus must be on finding a political

solution to resolve it.” (Parfitt).

In conclusion, the conflicts can be solved in some level. At least both conflicting countries

do not have the thoughts to start the war, these countries are both trying to solve the problem

peacefully in the future.

Possible Questions.

1. When a person moves from their primary cultural environment to a new cultural environment, he/she often experiences fear, anxiety, and disorientation because basic assumptions and understandings about the way the world works cannot be used in this new environment. In anthropology we refer to this state as:

a. enculturation d. culture disorder b. social ostracism e. culture shock II c. culture shock I

It is not surprise that we are now in a “post-antibiotic era”. As we now use antibiotic

medicine more frequently as bacterial illness treatment, beside antibiotic has a history about a

hundred years. Bacterium evolve because of we overuse antibiotic, they would have higher

survival rate in all kinds of antibiotic medicine. Therefore, bacteria have higher antimicrobial

resistance than before is predictable.

People are not realizing that they over dependent on antibiotics. As the article mentioned,

already huge number of bacterium are antimicrobial resistance. I would suggest doctors and

nurse to educate patients about antibiotic that antibiotic is important but not needed, and how

less effective antibiotic now as a treatment.

Mathematical analyzing

1. Write an introduction explaining the following:

a) how and where you collected your data

b) what you controlled for and could not control for as a researcher (that is, explain what

other influences or independent variables

that you could/did not control that may have resulted in your data set not accurately

representing your groups)

c) why you are studying these particular variables d) what you expect to find

e) **be sure to add a copy of your data**

Introduction: What I am going to do is talk about my research. My research topic is how

many hours an Ohio university student studies each week in the summer session. This is not a

hard problem and many students may did this before. I collect my data form Alden library last

Thursday by asking fifteen female students and sixteen male students who is studying in the

second floor and the fourth floor. This is really interesting that almost half of the students ask me

if I was asking for the summer session studying hours. I was not surprise that maybe summer

session is a little bit relaxed than fall and spring semester. But some of the students take online

course which may spend them more time on self-studying. This is one of the variable that I

cannot control. Another one I cannot control as a researcher is before the exams or projects, the

study hours may increase, I do not know each student’s exam schedule, therefore some students

may have a big portion of time spending on studying because of the exams or projects. Major is

one that I cannot control either. Some major like nursing or law may take student a lot of time on

reading and remembering definitions and cases. The last one I can think of are Undergraduates

and Graduates. Graduates are obviously demanded more time to do research and write papers.

What I can control is to ask students by their gender, and ask them specifically how many hours

they study each day then multiply how many days they study each week. The reason why I study

these particular variable is that I am curious that people here in summer session study how many

hours weekly, I am curious what is the study hours differences between males and females. If

there is a comparison, one must be higher than the other, what I mean is either female or male

spend more time on studying than the other. I am not sure that which group study more, but what

I expect is that female have more study hours than male.

The independent variable in my research is gender (male and female).My independent

variable is a categorical data, the scale of measurement is ordinal, and gender is discrete, because

gender cannot be halves.

The dependent variable in my research is study hours per week in summer session. This

is a measurement data, because we need to count that. And the scale of measurement is ordinal.

The dependent variable is continuous because hours can be halves.

From the first chart, I can conclude that the most frequent hour appears in female are 8,15, 25

and 30. These hours both appear twice. The highest hour in female is 36, and the frequency is 1,

the lowest hour in female is 5, and the frequency is 1,too. From chart two, which is male

frequency chart, I found that the most frequent hour are 15and 20, which both appear three times.

The highest hour in male is 24 with a frequency 1, and the lowest hour in male is 4 with a

1frequency.

From these two charts, I find that female has the highest study hour, which is 36 hours per

week. Also, female have 6 person that study more than 20 hours (include 20), male has 5.

Female has 6 person that study less than 10 hours (include 10 hours), however, male has 7.

For Question 5, both two histogram charts shape like normal distribution. But for female, the

shape of histogram is a little bit positive skewed, and for male, it is more like negative skewed.

There is fifteen data in female part and the average score is 16.8 hours. In the meanwhile, the

average of the male in 16 data is 13.25 hours. The score corresponds to the 50th percentile in

each distribution is same, both 15 hours. I believe that mean and median is the central tendency

that can reflect the female data better though this fifteen data have a big standard deviation. As

for the male part, I consider that mean, median and mode be central tendency to report the

distributions. Because according to the chart, standard deviation of male session is not as large as

females’, and the median is equal to mode, which are also close to the mean.

In my research, the standard deviation for female group is 10.16, and for male group is 6.82.

I would not say I have much variability in my data because all I got is 15 female data and 16

male data. But the range in female group is much larger than the male group, which is 31, and

male group gets a 20 in range. Female group gets a more variability obviously. Female group has

11 sets of data, which male group gets 10 sets.

For the female group, the raw score best corresponds to the top 20% is 25 hours, the raw

score best corresponds to the top 30% is 20 hours. For the male session, the raw score best

corresponds to the top 20% is 19 hours, the raw score best corresponds to the top 30% is 18

hours.

2. What is your independent variable? What is your dependent variable? For each variable

identify the following:

a) type of data: categorical or measurement (2 points)

b) scale of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio

c) Is the dependent variable discrete or continuous?

3. Using SPSS, construct a frequency distribution for each group. Include output here. Discuss

your findings.

Summer 2015

1. Assume that a company is budgeting to sell 3,500 units of a product at a selling price per unit

of $35. The variable cost per unit is $28 and total fixed costs are $7,000.

REQUIRED

Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage.

2. Suppose the company is unsure exactly how many units they will sell. As such, their

marketing department has provided a worst case scenario where sales would be 2,500 units and a

best case scenario where sales would be 3,900 units. Assume that the selling price per unit,

variable cost per unit and fixed costs will remain constant (per part 1).

REQUIRED

Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the

worst case scenario (sales of 2,500 units) and the best case scenario (sales of 3,900 units).

3. Suppose the company believes that 3,500 units is the most likely volume of sales. However,

it is unsure at what selling price per unit it will be able to charge. The marketing department has

provided a high estimate of $40 per unit and a low estimate of $31 per unit. Assume that

variable costs per unit and fixed costs will remain constant (per part 1).

REQUIRED

Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the

high ($40 per unit) and low ($31 per unit) estimate of the selling price.

4. Suppose the company believes that 3,500 units is the most likely volume of sales and that $35

is the most likely selling price per unit. However, the production department is unsure as to the

exact variable cost per unit. The production department has provided a high cost per unit of $31

and a low cost per unit of $22. Assume that fixed costs will remain constant (per part 1).

REQUIRED

Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the

high variable cost per unit ($31) and the low cost per unit ($22).

5. Suppose the company believes that 3,500 units is the most likely volume of sales, that $35 is

the most likely selling price per unit, and that $28 is the most likely variable cost per unit.

However, the accounting department is unsure as to the exact value of fixed costs. They have

provided a high estimate of fixed costs to be $8,500 and a low estimate of fixed costs to be

$4,500.

REQUIRED

Prepare a contribution margin income statement and calculate operating leverage for both the

high estimate of fixed costs ($8,500) and for the low estimate of fixed costs ($4,500).

MGT 2000

My decision shows that my decision-making style is conceptual, and I got a 5 in conceptual

style. My lowest score is behavioral, and I got zero in this style. I do agree that the result reflect

my self-perceptions. I think a lot for one thing, I would classify one thing for two sides, and then

I would consider pros and cons for both sides. The advantages for this decision making style is I

can both consider the good results and bad results and then compete them. The bad sides for this

style is thinking too much may distract my attention, I may lose my focus.

I got a score of 3 in B and I think analytical may consistent with my style. I do think analysis

data is a pretty cool style, and numbers can be very useful in realistic. But number cannot be

everything, number cannot prove every single case. In my opinion, if I need to work with

someone who is analytical, I would agree with his or her job and I would singly consider more,

not just data.
