a memo and a letter

This assignment requires TWO documents: a memo and a letter. For the memo, you are a representative of the USA Olympic Committee, and need to select a company that would make an excellent candidate for Olympic sponsorship. Things to know about being an Olympic sponsor: A typical outlay is $75 million, so obviously a big name company is needed. Sponsorship can be either in goods or services. When you have targeted a potential sponsor, write a memo to Larry Probst who is the Chair of the USA Olympic Committee. Explain in detail why you have selected this company and precisely what will be required from them. Ask yourself these questions: What kind of sponsorship is required? Summer or winter Olympics? Are you sponsoring one nation, or the ENTIRE Olympic enterprise? Then you will become Larry Probst, and write a letter to the CEO or CFO of the targeted company explaining why they have been approached and again, precisely what will be expected from them. A major part of your task here is to PERSUADE the company to become a sponsor, and to part quite willingly with at least $75 million. How? Well, you must convince them of the wonderful, unique privilege this is for any company. Olympic sponsorship is a badge of great honor, afforded to only a very select few in the world. Probably need at least 5 PAGES, overall, double-spaced. 1.5 pages for a memo 3.5 pages for the letter Due by Tuesday June 30th.

Question 1 of 20 1.0 Points Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), "E" or "e" (used in scientific notation). NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker. Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where "a" and "b" need to have explicitly stated values. For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not. A sample of 40 country CD recordings of Willie Nelson has been examined. The average playing time of these recordings is 51.3 minutes, and the standard deviation is s = 5.8 minutes. Using an appropriate t-multiplier, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean playing time of all Willie Nelson recordings. Place your LOWER limit, in minutes, rounded to 2 decimal places, in the first blank. For example, 56.78 would be a legitimate entry. . Place your UPPER limit, in minutes, rounded to 2 decimal places, in the second blank. For example, 67.89 would be a legitimate entry.

The average number of years served was 13.8 years with a standard deviation of 7.3 years. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate for the average number of years served by all Supreme Court justices? Place your limits, rounded to 1 decimal place, in the blanks.

Senior management of a consulting services firm is concerned about a growing decline in the firm’s weekly number of billable hours. The firm expects each professional employee to spend at least 40 hours per week on work. In an effort to understand this problem better, management would like to estimate the standard deviation of the number of hours their employees spend on work-related activities in a typical week. Rather than reviewing the records of all the firm’s full-time employees, the management randomly selected a sample of size 51 from the available frame. The sample mean and sample standard deviations were 48.5 and 7.5 hours, respectively. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the number of hours this firm’s employees spend on work-related activities in a typical week. Place your LOWER limit, in hours, rounded to 1 decimal place, in the first blank. For example, 6.7 would be a legitimate entry. Place your UPPER limit, in hours, rounded to 1 decimal place, in the second blank. For example, 12.3 would be a legitimate entry.

The process is monitored daily by taking samples of sizes n = 160 units. Suppose that today’s sample contains 14 defectives. How many units would have to be sampled to be 95% confident that you can estimate the fraction of defective parts within 2% (using the information from today’s sample--that is using the result that ^p = 0.0875)? Place your answer, as a whole number, in the blank. For example 567 would be a legitimate entry. Question 7 of 20 1.0 Points Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), "E" or "e" (used in scientific notation).

If 30 such cars are tested, what is the probability the average mpg achieved by these 30 cars will be greater than 27? Answer: Round your answer to 4 decimal places as necessary. For example, 0.1357 would be a legitimate entry. Part 2 of 3 - Question 8 of 20 1.0 Points A food snack manufacturer samples 15 bags of pretzels off the assembly line and weighed their contents.

Partnerships- Accounting

Chris and Lauren each contributed $90,000 cash to the cash basis CL Partnership. The partnership uses all $180,000 of the cash to purchase a depreciable asset. The partnership agreement provides that depreciation is allocated 60% to Chris and 40% to Lauren. All other items of partnership income, gain, loss or deduction are allocated equally between the two partners. During the first year of operations, the partnership produces $30,000 of income before depreciation and deducts $30,000 of depreciation. At the end of the first year, the partnership sells the depreciable asset for its $150,000 book value. Following these transactions, the partnership has $180,000 of cash ($150,000 from sale of the asset and $30,000 from operations). assume nothing else happens in the first year that affects the partners and liquidates at the end of the first year. a) How much cash is distributed to each partner in the liquidating distribution under the economic effect test? b) if the partnership distributes $30,000 cash to Lauren on June 30 of the current year, how much cash is distributed to each partner in the liquidating distribution under the economic effect test?
