This project examines the relationship between the rate at which 12th grade students in northwest Ohio passed proficiency exams in 1995 and several school district characteristics. Simple linear regressions were run with passing rate as the response variable and percent of families receiving welfare, instructional spending per student, and average daily attendance rate as explanatory variables. The regression with attendance rate had the highest correlation and best predicted passing rates. The relationships between passing rates and percent welfare and instructional spending appeared nonlinear. The regression equations were generally consistent with expectations.

CASE STUDY PROBLEMS

Marquette Corporation, a tax client since its creation three years
ago, has requested that you prepare a memorandum explaining
its estimated tax requirements for the current year. The
corporation is in the fabricated steel business. Its earnings have
been growing each year. Marquette’s taxable income for the last
three tax years has been $500,000, $1.5 million, and $2.5
million, respectively. The Chief Financial Officer expects its
taxable income in the current year to be approximately $3
million.
Required: Prepare a one-page client memorandum explaining
Marquette’s estimated tax requirements for the current year,
providing the necessary supporting authorities.

Susan Smith accepted a new corporate client, Winter Park
Corporation. One of Susan’s tax managers conducted a review
of Winter Park’s prior year tax returns. The review revealed that
an NOL for a prior tax year was incorrectly computed, resulting
in an overstatement of NOL carrybacks and carryovers to prior
tax years. Apply the Statements on Standards for Tax Services
(SSTSs) to the following situtations. The SSTSs are in
Appendix E of this text.
· a. Assume the incorrect NOL calculation does not affect the
current year’s tax liability. What recommendations (if any)
should Susan make to the new client? See SSTS No. 6.
· b. Assume the IRS is currently auditing a prior year. What are
Susan’s responsibilities in this situation? See SSTS No. 6.
8. · c. Assume the NOL carryover is being carried to the current
year, and Winter Park does not want to file amended tax returns
to correct the error. What should Susan do in this situation? See
SSTS No. 1.

PROJECT II
50 points
This project is to be done in groups of three people.
You may submit only one final project for the group.
Passing Rate for the 12th Grade Proficiency Examination – c.
1995
This project is a regression study done on the rate at which
students in schools in northwest Ohio passed the 12th grade
proficiency examinations about the year 1995. (This is the year
for which I have data.) The data comprises 8 variables for 88
districts. 6 additional school districts’ data has been placed at
the right of the sheet. These have been removed from the data
because they are outliers. A detailed description of the variables
in the data set is below, and the data file is in the web portal.
9. Your job is to do a regression analysis, and then think about the
results and draw conclusions.
Use the “Project 2 Data Schools file to complete the following:
1. Using the data in the Welfare Percentage Data sheet, produce
a scatter plot with the passing rate as the response variable and
‘Percent of Families Receiving Welfare in the District’ as the
explanatory variable. Print as a full page.
2. Repeat Step 1. using ‘Instructional Spending per Student’ as
the explanatory variable in the Instructional Spending Data
sheet. Print as a full page.
3. Repeat Step 2. using the ‘Average Daily Attendance Rate’ as
the explanatory variable in the Attendance Data sheet. Print as a
full page.
4. Run a simple regression with the passing rate as the response
variable and ‘Percent of Families Receiving Welfare in the
District’ as the explanatory variable.
On the results sheet :
Indicate the correlation coefficient (R)
Interpret the coefficient of determination (R²)
Interpret the significance
Give the linear regression equation
Use the regression equation to predict one passing rate value.
Note: These can be written by hand on the printouts, or typed
into the sheet before printing. Print this as one page.
5. Run a simple regression with the passing rate as the response
variable and ‘Instructional Spending per Student’ as the
10. explanatory variable.
On the Results sheet :
Indicate the correlation coefficient (R)
Interpret the coefficient of determination (R²)
Interpret the significance
Give the linear regression equation
Use the regression equation to predict one passing rate value.
Note: These can be written by hand on the printouts, or typed
into the sheet before printing. Print this as one page.
6. Run a simple regression with the passing rate as the response
variable and ‘Average Daily Attendance Rate’ as the
explanatory variable.
On the Results sheet :
Indicate the correlation coefficient (R)
Interpret the coefficient of determination (R²)
Interpret the significance
Give the linear regression equation
Use the regression equation to predict one passing rate value.
Note: These can be written by hand on the printouts, or typed
into the sheet before printing. Print this as one page.
Report your findings:
11. Submit a typewritten 6-paragraph summary of the assignment
and your findings. The summary should be formatted with one
paragraph each for the introduction and conclusion and one
paragraph of ANALYSIS/INTERPRETATION for each of the
four questions below. Attach a copy of the EXCEL printouts to
the report. Put the scatterplots first and the regression results
second. Do not forget to write the interpretations on the
regression printouts.
The questions you are asked to consider are:
· Are any of the three possible explanatory variables
significantly tied to the passing rate? Which one or ones?
Justify your answer using significance.
· Which of the three possible explanatory variables is the best
predictor of the passing rate? Justify your answer using
correlation.
· Do any of the relationships look nonlinear? Which one or
ones?
· Are any of the regression equations surprising? Which one or
ones?
Print your paper.
Attach a copy of the EXCEL printouts to the report. Put the
scatterplots first and the regression results second. Do not
forget to write the interpretations on the regression printouts!
