Case 1 - Due February 20, 2022

Case 2 – Due April 3, 2022

Case 1 and Case 2 are continuous cases. That is, Case 2 will build on the results of Case 1. For case 1 you will receive an email from me which includes two files: a written case and an Excel spreadsheet. Please make sure the company name for both files match. Also, please note that not all students will receive the same Case 1 and Case 2.

Before you start working on Case 1, I suggest that you go to the module created for Case 1 and Case 2. There you will find a recorded lecture that demonstrates how to perform correlations and regression analysis using Excel. You will need to be able to calculate correlations for both Case 1 and Case 2.

Case 1 will reinforce the learning objectives covered in chapters 2 and 3. You should use the provided Excel file to perform your calculations and analysis. Make sure your solution is easy to follow and well organized (see Excel hint file). After completing your quantitative analysis, develop a short paper summarizing your analysis, findings, any identified issues, and suggestions or alternatives. An example outline for this paper is provided in the Case 1 and 2 Canvas module. My expectation is the paper will be no longer than 2 - 3 pages. If you provide me a draft of your paper more than 4 days before the due date, I will provide you with some initial feedback.

Case 2 will use the activity-based costing information provided in Chapter 7 and will be provided to you once you submit your final paper and Excel file for Case 1. Otherwise, I will send out Case 2 to all remaining students on Monday, February 28. The Case 1 and Case 2 module in Canvas includes a lecture of a similar ABC exercise for your reference (ABC Example – Emerson Company).

As you work on these two cases, feel free to contact me with any questions. I will try to give you a timely response to your questions. Good luck!
