human measurement consultant

For this assignment, we want you to imagine that you are a human measurement consultant
and that you have been recruited to help develop a

new human personality measure. Your

reputation is of such a bloated magnitude that your employers were wretchedly grateful that

you

condescended to assist them, despite the huge fee that you insisted on.

Your employers have hired a large team of behavioural scientists

(i.e., everyone currently

enrolled in PSYC3020) to develop a database of human personality measures. You will be
working as part ofa group

of other scientists (yourtutorial group) to develop just one ofthese

measures. Yourtask is to focus solely on measuring this one

personality trait, while other

groups will develop measures forthe othertraits. Once each group has finished preparing their
measures, all

the measures will be combined into one large questionnaire. We will then ask

everyone enrolled in PSYC3020 to complete this questionnaire so

that you can collect data for

your measure.

You are then requested to analyse the data from your measure. You only need to look at

the

results for your measure, not the entire questionnaire -the other scientists will take care oftheir
respective measures.

Finally,

you will be required to write a report evaluating whether your measure was effective. If

you determine that the measure is valid and

reliable, then your employerwill be able to use it in

future work and yourjob will have been completed successfully. If your measure turns

out not

to be reliable orvalid, then it’s not a problem. In this case, you are required to provide your
expert and informed opinion as to

why you think this happened, so that it can be addressed in

future iterations of your measure (forwhich you will be able to charge

extra).

Be very specialized in measurement psychology since this report need to do lots of statistics
calculations, scale measurements and tables. Also, the writer needs to has SPSS(Statistical Product and Service Solutions) in his/her
computer and needs to be extremely skilled on using SPSS since you need to find the results to complete the analysis by using this software

Industrial Hygiene

Project description
Create a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint Presentation (not counting title and reference slides) that
provides an overview of
industrial hygiene. You may use the textbook, the OSHA pamphlet on Industrial Hygiene, the AIHA
website, and other sources as you see fit. Be sure to create a reference slide that cites all
sources using APA format. Include the following information in your presentation:

x Definition/explanation of industrial hygiene x Major U.S. industrial hygiene organizations x Code of ethics
x Impact of federal regulations
x Types of hazards addressed by industrial hygienists
x Types of control methods used by industrial hygienists
x Role industrial hygiene plays in an injury and illness prevention program
Use the notes section within PowerPoint to create the dialog or script that you would use when
speaking to the audience about the information presented on your slide. Your PowerPoint
presentation should be constructed using a serif type font. A serif type font is, in principle (for
high-resolution media), easier to read than a non-serif type font because the individual characters
differ more from each other. The standard is Times New Roman. Do not use a sans serif font such as
Arial. Also, it is recommended that PowerPoint presentation slides should not contain a font
smaller than thirty points;twenty eight points should be the absolute minimum.

CASE STUDY
Bentley Custom Ceramics
Please read the handout Case 10: Bentley Custom Ceramics before starting this assignment.

Assume you have been asked to analyse the decision faced by Julian Bentley with additional information given below.

1) Mr Reynolds informed Julian that his loan application to purchase either type of kiln including installation and expert testing has been approved. The terms of the loan would be payment of yearly interest in advance at a fixed rate of 12% per annum over the life of the project and repayment of the principal owing at maturity.

2) The estimated service life for a gas-fired kiln is 10 years and six years for an electric kiln. The salvage values for a gas-fired kiln and an electric kiln at the end of their usable lives are $4,000 and zero , respectively. Julian’s accountant allocated depreciation to the gas-fired kiln in the modified accelerated cost recovery (MACRS) 10-year class and the electric kiln could be depreciated using the MACRS category for 5-year assets. Depreciation allowance percentages according to MACRS are shown in the table below.

MACRS Allowance Percentages
Year 5-year assets 10-year assets
1 20% 10%
2 32% 18%
3 19% 14%
4 12% 12%
5 11% 9%
6 6% 7%
7 7%
8 7%
9 7%
10 6%
11 3%

3) As you were checking the sales and cost projections for the new kilns provided by Julian in Exhibit 4, you noted that he had not made a provision for the increased working capital requirements with the new equipment. This would entail an initial increase in accounts receivable of $10,000, an increase in accounts payable of $15,000, and an increase in inventory of $25,000. Net working capital requirements for subsequent years will be 10% of additional sales.

4) You had learnt in your postgraduate finance course that project cash flows typically have different levels of risk. You had a discussion with Julian to get a feel for the uncertainties involved the cash flow estimates. Julian concluded that there was little uncertainty in any of the estimates except for the sales projection, which could vary significantly depending on the market demand. In his opinion, the sales projection could deviate from the estimated figure given in Exhibit 4 by plus or minus 20%.

5) Under the current rental agreement, Julian has an option to extend the lease for another 10 years at a higher rental payment of $10,000 per year.

6) Assume the company tax rate is 30% per annum and the acceptable payback period is 3 years.
Your task is to prepare the capital budgeting report for Julian Bentley advising whether he should invest in the new equipment in January 2000. Your report should include the answers to the following Questions 1 to 7. It is important to list your assumptions in applying the capital budgeting techniques, and show clearly the workings in deriving your results. Your assignment will be graded based on presentation, understanding of the issues and logical explanation, and accuracy of calculations in solving the problems. The mark allocations for individual questions (including 20 marks for presentation) will total 125 marks and will be scaled by a factor of 0.2 to produce a mark consistent with 25% weighting in the unit assessment.
QUESTIONS

5. Draw the ANPV and NPV profiles for both the electric and gas-fired kilns on the same set of axes (by varying the discount rates from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) and discuss any conflict in ranking that may exist between NPV and ANPV.

Critical Analysis

Project description
(1) Briefly describe how Chattel (personal property) slavery for Blacks in North America started and
how it became legal to own these Blacks as property.
(2) Explain how the Fugitive Slave Narratives became one of the tools in the abolition of the system
of slavery in North America. What are the characteristics of these Narratives and what major issues
of slavery and freedom for blacks are revealed in this literature? Give examples from the resources
used in this class that show these characteristics.
(3) The literature of David Walker, Maria Stewart, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs reveals –
from different approaches – the root causes and evils of chattel slavery in North America. Write a
critical analysis essay that first highlights the collective root causes, problems and issues of chattel
slavery in North America; then analyzes their proposed approaches to abolishing chattel slavery.
Specific examples from the textbook and other resources used in class should be used in your
descriptions, explanations and analysis.

The legal process

Project description
Distinguish between the temporary detention of an individual for questioning and the arrest of an individual. What is a “stop and frisk” and what is the name and citation of the landmark ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court that first set forth the law relating to stop and frisks? Sum up the Court’s holding in this case.

Explain the process of plea negotiations. How does the plea bargain process help the prosecution? the defendant? the people?

Beth and Carl have been married for five years. One day Carl comes home to find Beth in bed with another man (John). He immediately walks over to the closet and grabs his revolver. Beth jumps out of bed and pleads with him to put the gun away. They struggle over the gun, Carl pulls the trigger, and John is fatally wounded. Based on this scenario, answer the following questions:

Could Carl successfully be prosecuted for voluntary manslaughter? Why or why not? Be sure to go over each element for voluntary manslaughter and why the facts do or don’t support that charge against Carl of killing John.

As prosecutor, would you charge Beth with John’s death? Why or why not?

After you have completed your answer to the above questions, discuss any defenses Beth might have if she were charged. Answer this question even if you decide you would not charge her.
