1. Go online and search for project life cycle models. Identify at least two that are different from the PMI model, and compare and contrast the phases. Be sure to cite your sources.

2. Software project decision point.

1. You need to determine an interest rate to use—select an interest rate and explain why you think this number should be used. Use it in your calculations in item 1.2.

2. Given the information below on options 1 and 2, carry out three forms of analysis: breakeven, ROI, and NPV.

3. Make a recommendation on which way to proceed, based on the TCO for each option.

• Option 1: Purchase the FunSoft package: Cost $200,000 for software and $85,000 for hardware in year one; with $50,000 to customize it and a $40,000 annual licensing fee for the life of the contract. There will be an annual saving of $61,000 due to the layoff of a clerk.

• Option 2: Purchase the SoftComm package, which will operate on the vendor’s hardware: Cost $250,000 for a five-year license, payable half up front and half during the first year of implementation. The maintenance contract, at $75,000 a year, includes all currently identified modifications to the software for the first three years. The clerk’s hours will be cut by half, for a saving of $25,000 a year.

In both cases, sales are expected to increase from the current $1 million a year, by 10% per year each year (over each year’s previous year’s sales) after full implementation.

Assume a five-year life for the software.

You are considering an investment in Justus Corporation’s stock, which is expected to pay a dividend of $1.75 a share at the end of the year (D₁ = $1.75) and has a beta of 0.9. The risk-free rate is 4.8%, and the market risk premium is 5.0%. Justus currently sells for $28.00 a share, and its dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate, g. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis.

This project involves the design of a system to crush a car to one of three formats. Tasks will be segmented using the project style of structure. The project will be from scratch to the layout, specifically including design generation, evaluation, selection, and embodiment design. The simple and detailed layouts will be made available. Ease of use and loading will be considered in design. A morphological chart will be created to display the variations possible based on generated ideas. Based on selected specifications, a design will be selected. Power requirements of the system and the efficiency are to be estimated or determined through calculations. Hydraulic power will generally be avoided for the final product as requested, though concepts may include it. A basic 3D model of the embodiment design and multiple sketches of initial generated designs will be included.

Research:

Look up 4 artworks in American museums or by American artists (in a museum anywhere in the world). One great way to do this is by choosing a museum and taking a virtual tour (many American museums have these available on their websites). Another way to do this is to look up more famed pieces of art that you know about and like and see what pieces by the same artist are in American museums. A third option is to look up an artist whose work you admire and then to search for their work in an American museum. You can start with this list of American artists as well – http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/American-arti…

Essay 3 Prompts: Museums play an important role in communities as the protectors of history and culture, and as places where citizens can take in history and culture. Often, the greatest connection in a museum experience is with a particular piece of art – the image within a frame or a sculpture. For this essay I want you to think about what you read and watched, and also about the artworks that you researched. Answer the following – what drew you to choose the artworks that you did in your research? How do you feel connected to these artworks? Are you drawn to them because of how they look, how they make you feel, the subject matter? In your upcoming speeches you will have the opportunity to talk about one of these pieces with more depth, but here I would like you to talk about the artworks that you chose, and why as a society we need museums.

Use SAS to do the following analysis and answer questions. Dataset “ch05q01.txt” is in the Data folder, where ‘DRYWT’ and ‘LOGDRYWG’ represent dry weight and log10(dry weight), respectively.

• Determine the sample correlation coefficients of (1) age with dry weight and (2) age with log10(dry weight). Which pair has stronger association? For each of them, test whether , and interpret your results.

• Using Fisher’s Z transformation, obtain a 95% CI for between (1) age and dry weight, (2) age with log10(dry weight).

• Fit two regression lines: (1) dry weight on age, (2) log10(dry weight) on age. Write down the fitted regression lines.

• For each model in (c), get the residual plots and comment on whether the assumptions of straight line regression are satisfied. Does the log transformation of dry weight improve the model fitting?

SUPPORTING FAMILIES

Your role in supporting the family of a child with special needs is very important. The first step in this assignment is to explore the resources that are provided for you in Module 6. They are all related to the parenting experiences in families with a child with a disability.

Then, I want you to imagine you are a preschool teacher with a class of 12 four-year-olds. One of the children in your class has a disability with an IEP (Individualized Education Program). For the purposes of this discussion, it could be any kind of disability.

Using the resources provided in Module 6, discuss some important ways you, as the preschool teacher, can be supportive of the child’s parents. It doesn’t have to be direct support; it could be that you are supportive by being understanding when the parent is consistently late dropping off the child.
