Final Examination ? ACG6175 CMBA Summer 2015By submitting this examination for grading I affirm that I have not discussed this examinationwith any other person, nor accessed or employed any information not included in the materialspresented below.Required:Write your answers in standard English.Include any computations you make in completing your answers.Be specific.1) Decompose Tesla?s ROE for the annual periods 2012-2014. Note any trends you observe.2) Tesla notes that Q1 automotive revenue includes $51 million from the sale of ZEV credits.* Assuming that 2012-2014 annual revenues are comprised of the same percentage of ZEV revenues as was the case in Q1 of 2015, re-compute Tesla?s income after removing the effect of the ZEV sales and decompose ROE using the revised data.3) Compare your new calculations to your ROE decomposition from question 1.4) Comment on the quality of Tesla?s earnings.5) Given that Tesla has consistently generated losses, how has the company managed to survive? Read Tesla?s Stockholder Letter for the first quarter of 2015. Tesla repeatedly refers to ?non- GAAP? results.6) What are the specific departures Tesla makes from GAAP in computing these numbers?7) Why do you think the company keeps referring to ?non-GAAP? measures?*Here?s how ZEV (zero emission vehicle) credits work: Every major auto manufacturer in theU.S. is required to sell a given percentage of zero-emission vehicles (by 2025 it will reach 15%). Failure to meet this standard results in a fine. Manufacturers receive zero emission vehicle ?credits? for each ZEV sold. ZEV sales were, however, only 1% of automotive sales in 2014. This means many manufacturers fall below the threshold. They can, however, buy ?credits? from other companies in order to keep from paying the fines. Since Tesla only sells ZEVs it has ?extra? credits that it can sell.In 2015, we have already expanded our product portfolio with exciting new products and features while continuing to execute on our long-term plans. We ramped the manufacturing and availability of All-Wheel Drive Model S 85D, introduced 70D, and are building release candidate prototypes of Model X. Last week, we also launched our new Tesla Energy business, introducing asuite of energy storage products with a vision that we believe will help to eventually transform the global energy paradigm. Both our vehicle and Tesla Energy businesses will benefit from our Gigafactory project, which should start producing initial quantities of battery packs in 2016.We also significantly improved manufacturing efficiency and reduced per unit vehicle costs while achieving a higher average weekly production rate during Q1. These efforts, combined with a favorable product mix, helped us reach our Q1 non-GAAP automotive gross margin target, despite the significant negative impact of a strong dollar. We were also able to accelerate yearover- year revenue growth in Q1, while improving operational efficiency as reflected in lower than expected growth of operating expenses. Overall, these achievements represent a strong start to a very big year at Tesla. Expanding the Market for Model S We continue to see growing Model S demand. In Q1, both North American and European orders were much higher than Q1 last year, despite limited availability of 85D and before the announcement of 70D. While we still have work to do in China, we saw encouraging signs of a return to growth in orders there as well. Recently, order rates have accelerated even further with greater availability of 85D and the launch of 70D. This is especially encouraging as potential customers in many markets have yet to experience these products first hand. 70D has only been shown in North America, and our all-wheel drive cars will not be available in right hand drive markets until Q3. We remain confident in our ability to deliver approximately 55,000 Model S and Model X vehicles combined in 2015, as increased availability of all our Model S variants continue to drive demand. To sustainably scale for increased deliveries, our inventory of in-transit customer-configured cars must increase, and in Q1 we added 1,100 such vehicles to the pipeline. Our ability to continually innovate and reduce costs enabled us to recently launch the new Model S 70D. As a very compelling value in the premium sedan segment, the All-Wheel Drive 70D expands the market for Model S. 70D has 240 miles of EPA-rated range, superior all-weather performance, and a 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds. It also includes a comprehensive list of standardfeatures such as Autopilot safety technology, access to our Supercharger network, and turn-by-turn navigation for $75,000, before tax credits and fuel cost savings. So far we are pleased with the increased demand that has been created by the 70D and the little effect it has had on the demand for our other Model S variants.All-Wheel Drive Model S 85DModel S customers benefit from our free data connectivity and unique over-the-air software updates, which allow us to improve customer cars over time. In March, we introduced our second significant software update of Q1, enabling new active safety capabilities, adding intelligent range and charge management features, and boosting performance by increasing acceleration and top speed. Additional software updates are scheduled in Q2 that will include more Autopilot safety and convenience features for appropriately equipped cars. The expansion of our customer support network continues at a rapid pace. With 425 Supercharger locations and 100 service locations globally, driving a Model S is becoming more compelling every day. So far, our customers have Supercharged 111million miles globally. Improving Production Capabilities In Q1, we manufactured 11,160 vehicles, 10% better than guidance, as we averaged more than 1,000 cars per production week. We successfully increased production on our new small drive unit line, which was critical to meeting the demand for our all-wheel drive cars. Our production launches of 85D and 70D proceeded more smoothly than our prior launches, highlighting the flexibility and increasing maturity of our manufacturing capabilities. With a more stable production cadence in Q1, we implemented efficiency improvements and reduced labor hours by more than 20% per car by the end of the quarter. During the quarter, we also made significant progress on the installation of a new body shop, paint shop and stamping presses that will establish extra capacity for both Model X and Model S. We are nowÿ building and testing release candidate Model X prototypes with increasing design maturity, and are pleased with the progress of this program. These developments, along with our maturing production capabilities, boost our confidence in the launch and production ramp ofModel X, which is on track for start of deliveries in late Q3.In addition, steady construction progress continues at the Gigafactory, and together with Panasonic, we now expect to start complete battery manufacturing, from cells to modules to battery packs, in 2016. Tesla EnergyIn Q1, we made substantial progress on our 2nd generation Tesla Energy grid battery products. This led to our April 30th launch of the $250/kWh industrial Powerpack and the $350/kWh residential Powerwall, and these attractive prices include controls, cooling and DC/DC power electronics. The customer response to these products and the Tesla Energy vision broadly has been extremely positive. We are now preparing our supply chain and production teams to start volume builds on these new products in Q3. Production will begin at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, and in Q1 2016 will expand into the Gigafactory and accelerate significantly.The total addressable market size for Tesla Energy products is enormous and much easier to scale globally than vehicle sales. We are pursuing product certification in multiple markets simultaneously and plan to ramp deliveries in the US, EU and Australia in Q4. When combined with low cost renewable energy, Tesla Energy batteries provide an achievable pathway to a 100% zero carbon energy system. Tesla PowerwallQ1 Results Starting this quarter, our income statement reflects the new classifications of revenues and costs of revenues to segregate our new vehicle business from our other business activities. ?Automotive? revenue and related costs now reflect activities related to the sale or lease of new vehicles including regulatory credits, data connectivity and Supercharging. ?Services and other? revenues and related costs include activities such as powertrain sales, service revenue, Tesla Energy and pre-owned Tesla vehicle sales. As usual, we have presented both GAAP and non-GAAP financial information in this letter. A full explanation of our non-GAAP information and reconciliation to GAAP are included in the tables and accompanying footnotes.

Handley, MSW, LCSWA mother carrying a coughing child walks into the emergency room. She hysterically flags down a triage nurse and tells her that her daughter, Rose, is having trouble breathing. The nurse directs mother and child to a bed in the emergency room cordoned off by a light blue curtain. Less than five minutes later, Tricia, a third-year medical student on her pediatrics rotation, shows up to do a thorough history and physical of the patient. The first thing Tricia notices is that both mother and daughter are saturated in the scent of cigarettes. Upon questioning, the mother admits to smoking two packs a day in the house.?Have you tried quitting?? Tricia asks.The mother scowls. ?The smoking?s not a problem. I keep all the windows open.? At that moment, her daughter has a severe coughing fit. She scoops Rose into her arms, and rubs soothing circles on her back. ?My daughter has asthma. That?s why we?re here,? she tells the student.Tricia jots a note in the patient?s record and sees Rose has been admitted multiple times in the past for asthma. After flipping through these notes, Tricia sees that the mother has been counseled repeatedly about the need to stop smoking for the sake of Rose?s health. Tricia goes to find her attending and presents Rose?s case, highlighting signs of neglect. She then asks whether or not this would be grounds to notify child protective services.CommentaryNeglect is failure to satisfy a child?s basic needs, not only those for food, clothing, and shelter but also those for appropriate and timely medical care and shielding from exposure to family violence and substance abuse in the home, among other things. Implicit in these is the classification of lack of parental supervision or failure to protect a child from harm as neglect. In considering whether Rose?s mother?s behavior is neglectful, we must ask whether Rose?s asthma exacerbations can be tied solely to the mother?s smoking or whether other factors that could contribute to the problem, such as allergens or other environmental triggers, are present.Neglect can be categorized as mild, moderate, or severe depending on the degree of harm (or risk of harm) to the child and the frequency and length of time of the neglectful behavior. The Children and Families Safe Act of 2003 defines child maltreatment as ?any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caregiver which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm? [1]. So we must consider: what is the effect of Rose?s mother?s smoking on her health, safety, and well-being?Studies are now demonstrating that secondhand smoke (SHS) can exacerbate or cause children to develop asthma. In a metaregression review, Vork et al. demonstrated that the duration of secondhand smoke exposure can incite asthma. After adjusting for confounding factors they found a 33 percent higher incidence of asthma among those exposed to secondhand smoke [2]. In a recent large meta-analysis Burke et al. found that there may be a 28-70 percent increased risk of incidence of wheezing due to SHS [3]. This is also supported by findings that anti-SHS legislation has resulted in an overall decrease in asthma-related visits to local emergency rooms [4].The US Department of Health and Human Services includes asthmatic children exposed to secondhand smoke as an example of exposure to hazard, which can be categorized as inadequate supervision and neglect [5]. This means HHS considers secondhand smoke to belong to the same category as poisons, loaded guns, unsanitary living conditions, and lack of vehicle safety restraints. It also means that parents? failure to follow a physician?s instructions can be defined as medical neglect according to some state laws [6]. Family courts, too, have been receptive to information about SHS exposure, particularly when a child suffers from a chronic respiratory illness such as asthma [7]. InÿLizzio v. Lizzioÿ[8], the Supreme Court of New York reversed a custody decision and assigned physical custody to one parent because the other parent refused to provide a smoke-free environment for him. Ultimately, then, the scenario of Rose and her mother is a recognized example of neglect.InterventionsSo what should we do? First and foremost, we must remember that we are in a partnership with the families that we care for. When the care of a child is suboptimal, we must first look at ourselves to ensure that we have done our best to provide families with the tools they need to keep their children healthy. We must summon the optimist in ourselves and assume that the parents are doing what they feel is best for their children. If what they are doing does not appear to be adequate care, then perhaps we have not done our best to educate them or give them the tools to be successful.Next we must do our part in a noncritical and helpful manner and record what we have done so that the caregivers who follow us have an accurate record of the situation.In this case, the mother clearly does not believe there is a connection between her child?s asthma and her smoking, a not-uncommon misperception. Fifty-eight percent of parents surveyed by Farber et al. who smoked and had asthmatic children reported that tobacco smoke exposure had little or no negative effect on their child?s asthma [9]. The medical student?s review of Rose?s record reveals that the mother has been told this before, but our duty is to be certain that she understands it. On the other hand, preaching at our patients and families is not always the most effective tactic. We must meet them where they are in terms of education level, with consideration of psychosocial factors and readiness to stop smoking.Lack of resources or psychosocial burdens may contribute to this mother?s behavior [10]. Suppose, for example, that she is a single mother who lives in an apartment complex that does not allow smoking in public spaces and has a high crime rate. She may have decided that smoking inside with the window open is safer for her and her child than taking the risk of going across the street from her apartment to smoke.A second place we may have failed this mother is by not giving her feasible options. Smoking is an addiction and, if she is unable to quit, merely counseling her to do so is not an effective way to reduce Rose?s secondhand smoke exposure. If a parent is not ready to quit, then other solutions should be offered. Hennessey et al. found that many families intend to ban smoking in their homes but encounter obstacles to doing so [11]. They concluded that it may be more effective to focus on considering alternative locations to smoke. Having the smoker take small steps?focusing on eliminating or reducing smoke exposure?could be more feasible and better received. For example, we may ask if it is possible for the mother to smoke outside. Other concrete practical instructions would include no smoking in the car, using a smoking jacket that is left outside, and washing hands after smoking.It is also important to discern whether there are other neglectful actions?such as failure to fill the child?s prescriptions regularly or missed medical appointments?that could be contributing to Rose?s frequent exacerbations.Once all this is done, if the child is still repeatedly harmed by the parent?s behavior then we must involve others to ensure that the child is safe. Reporting to child welfare authorities is mandatory if the effects on the child are severe. The state child welfare agency is more likely to provide services if the harm to the child is severe or if there is a pattern of neglect; e.g., the mother is not keeping doctor?s appointments or not filling the child?s medications. If there is uncertainty, then we must consider whether it would be beneficial to report. Reporting may cause a family to feel accused, become uncomfortable disclosing pertinent information accurately in the future for fear of repercussions, or even sever the therapeutic relationship. The essential and difficult question that physicians must ultimately answer is whether exposure to secondhand smoke is more harmful to Rose than being removed from her home would be.ConclusionOverall, employing supportive measures that augment parents? natural tendency to protect their children may be the most effective approach to reducing secondhand smoke exposure in children. We must begin by providing parents with adequate, timely, and easily understandable education. Next we need to give them palatable options for decreasing their children?s smoke exposure. If we have helped the mother troubleshoot obstacles to reducing Rose?s smoke exposure and the child continues to be harmed by SHS, then we are ethically and legally bound to report that Rose is being neglected.On a larger scale we can protect children by advocating for policy change; for example, a ban on smoking in cars and homes. Smoking in a vehicle in the presence of children is already banned in numerous areas of the world, including Australia, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and 5 American states [12]. Physicians could, for example, advocate for smoke-free laws governing all indoor spaces where children may be exposed.

Please write a response for each discussion.Barthelemy 6.1Top of FormThere are different types of the research question the research will have to understand in the process of the data collection. In my research, I identified different type of survey item which the researchers explained. The closed-ended question will have some the common items the rating scale, forced choices, dichotomous and rank order questions.The rating questionÿis one of the styles which majority of the organization use, in this case, the respondent is forced to choose the any of the predetermined response on the scale. The Likert-type is the main example which is used in this case. An example will be: rate the service which you rescued in the hotel was up the best1. Strongly agree 2. Agree, 3. Neither agrees nor disagree, 4. Disagree and 5. Strongly disagreeThe semantic differential provides the same scale with different opposing directions.Multiple choice itemsÿare the other most common items of the survey, in this case, the respondent will be required to make a choice between two or more optionsÿ(Taylor, 2015). For example: where would you prefer to for your vacation. 1. Britain, 2. Bahamas 3. Canada 4. SpainStepanek 6.1Top of FormThe sample survey chosen was a restaurant client feedback survey template.ÿ The first question was ?What is your gender??ÿ This question is a nominal scale type of question.ÿ It is the simple to use but the amount of information gathered is limited. This type of scale classifies characteristics into ?non ordered, exhaustive, and mutually exclusive categories? (Erford, 2015). Nominal scales have little mathematical value and usually reflect investigator demographics.The second question, ?What age group are you in?? is an example of an interval scale.ÿ The interval options were a) < 20; b) 21-30; c) 31-40; d)41-50; e) 51-60; f) 60+.ÿ ?Interval scales have ordered response categories, and the magnitude between each category choice is of an equal interval? (Erford, 2015). Interval scales do not have an absolute zero point so comparisons cannot be made related to the data collected.The third question, ?How often do you visitÿ?name of restaurant??ÿis an example of an ordinal scale.ÿ The options were ?several times a week?, ?several times a month?, ?once a month?, ?several times a year?, ?once a year or less often?, ?visited only once? and? never?.ÿ Ordinal scales have choices that are categorized in an ordered sequence.ÿ In this case, the choices decreased in order of frequency.The following questions are all Likert-type scales using ?strongly agree?, ?agree?, ?neutral?, ?disagree?, and ?strongly disagree?.ÿ There are no numerical values listed with the wording which may leave these questions as arbitrary answers.
