Chapter 1, Problem 4.1EC

Alumni donations are an important source of revenue for colleges and universities. If administrators could determine the factors that could lead to increases in the percentage of alumni who make a donation, they might be able to implement policies that could lead to increased revenues. Research shows that students who are more satisfied with their contact with teachers are more likely to graduate. As a result, one might suspect that smaller class sizes and lower student/faculty ratios might lead to a higher percentage of satisfied graduates, which in turn might lead to increases in the percentage of alumni who make a donation. The following table shows data for 48 national universities. The Graduation Rate column is the percentage of students who initially enrolled at the university and graduated. The % of Classes Under 20 column shows the percentages of classes with fewer than 20 students that are offered. The Student/Faculty Ratio column is the number of students enrolled divided by the total number of faculty. Finally, the Alumni Giving Rate column is the percentage of alumni who made a donation to the university. Managerial Report 1. Use methods of descriptive statistics to summarize the data. 2. Develop an estimated simple linear regression model that can be used to predict the alumni giving rate, given the graduation rate. Discuss your findings. 3. Develop an estimated multiple linear regression model that could be used to predict the alumni giving rate using the Graduation Rate, % of Classes Under 20, and Student/Faculty Ratio as independent variables. Discuss your findings. 4. Based on the results in parts (2) and (3), do you believe another regression model may be more appropriate? Estimate this model, and discuss your results. 5. What conclusions and recommendations can you derive from your analysis? What universities are achieving a substantially higher alumni giving rate than would be expected, given their Graduation Rate, % of Classes Under 20, and Student/Faculty Ratio? What universities are achieving a substantially lower alumni giving rate than would be expected, given their Graduation Rate, % of Classes Under 20, and Student/Faculty Ratio? What other independent variables could be included in the model?

Assuming that you are watching a television programme dubbed “Taxation; an essential fiscal policy tool for moblizing resources for socio-economic development that has helped and hurt economies the world over including Ghana” with your dad who is fully aware that you are a Level 300 BBA Accounting student who has scored an “A” in Principles and Practice of Taxation Course. On the programme, avocates and economists for taxation are unanimous on the view that taxation is an essential tool for mobilizing resources for socio-economic development and in particular for a middle-income country such as Ghana, hence should be prioritized over both public and private business incentives. On the contrary, some critics especially political analysts, have argued that that governments over the world should rather create enabling environment for private businesses to flourish including granting tax incentives as a way of creating jobs for the unemployed youth and that governments should not directly…
