Small-Scale Literature Review Assignment A literature review is a descriptive summary of research on a topic that has previously been studied. The purpose of a literature review is to inform readers of the significant knowledge and ideas that have been established on a topic. Its purpose is to compare, contrast and/or connect findings that were identified when reviewing researchers’ work. Oftentimes, literature reviews are written to ground a study in a particular context of what is known about a subject in order to establish a foundation for the topic (or question) being researched. The purpose of this assignment is to facilitate your abilities to research a topic of study so you can learn to (1) identify and formulate an inquiry question that defines what you’d like to learn, (2) apply your knowledge on reading research upon which Psych 199 is based, (3) analyze information found in psychology journal articles, and (4) synthesize new knowledge into a written small-scale literature review. Assignment Description: For this assignment you are asked to complete a small-scale (i.e., brief) literature review on a developmental psychology topic of your choice from the course. Open your textbook and pick something you thought was interesting as a topic! Think about anything else you would like to know about the topic (i.e., an “inquiry”). Then locate four developmental psychology journal articles on your topic, and write a 5-7 page literature review on the articles you’ve selected. Steps to complete your small-scale literature review: 1. Choose a topic from the course that you are interested in studying further or learning more about. 2. Formulate an inquiry question that specifically describes what more you would like to know about your topic. For example, if you were interested in the social psychology topic “conformity”, you would likely read-up on this topic, and then from that reading and your own reflection formulate a somewhat specific question such as “How is conformity involved with gang violence in the USA?”, or “How was conformity associated with Holocaust?” You will not write a question such as “What is conformity?” The answer to THAT question is in your textbook. Your inquiry question is meant to be deeper than that; notice the use of the word “how” in the two inquiry question examples!! 3. Use the a library database to search for journal articles in peer-reviewed academic psychology journals that are associated with your topic (see accompanying library guide). 4. Choose just four (4) of the many articles that will come up in the search results based on whether they lend something to your attempt to answer the inquiry question associated with your topic. Note: Not every article that comes up in the search results will be useful! You will likely process/discard several by skimming the articles or reading their abstracts before making your final choices. 5. Read the four articles making note of each articles’ (a) key findings, (b) how the authors arrived at those findings (i.e., how they did their research), and (c, critical) how those findings help answer your inquiry question. 6. Use the outline on the next page as a foundation for writing your literature review, to be submitted online as a doc, docx, rtf, or pdf file on the due date as noted in Canvas.

Explain what nutrition is and why it is important.
- Healthcare professionals would be thrilled if individuals made decisions about what to eat based on a solid knowledge of what constitutes a “healthy diet.” Unfortunately, that is not typically the case. Many people do not know what constitutes a healthy diet. There are also those who do know but make less healthy choices for several reasons.
The food choices that people make are influenced by a variety of factors. Factor-categories include, but are not limited to, environmental cues, socioeconomic realities, cultural/religious beliefs, and the availability of foods in the community.In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, address the following:- Explain what nutrition is and why it is important.
- Describe the characteristics of a healthy diet and provide supporting examples.
- Identify at least two (2) factors (other than culture) that can impact a person’s food choices and provide a specific example for each.
- Research a culture (e.g., ethnic, religious, dietary) where specific food restrictions are dictated and address the following:
- Describe the restrictions.
- Explain how the restrictions could make it difficult for an individual to achieve a healthy diet.
- What dietary alternatives could be incorporated to overcome the dietary restrictions?
- Cite at least 3 credible references and present the resources in APA format on the References page.
- For information about researching a topic and assessing the credibility of resources, consult the resources below.

Tech produces shoes. It has an enterprise value of 500, debt equal to 200, cost of debt equal to 5%, beta of equity of 0.8, and the corporate tax is 25%. The risk-free rate is 3% and the equity risk premium is 6%. What is Tech Wacc?

2. Suppose that Tech wants to diversify its business by acquiring for the assets of a company in the trucking industry. There are three Trucking companies (Grate, Paltry and Dropa) traded in the stock market, and their information are provided in the table below. Tech finances the acquisition with the same capital structure of its shoe business (i.e.: D/EV=40%). Assuming that the corporate tax is 25%, the risk free rate is 3% and the equity risk premium is 6%, what is the WACC that Tech should use to evaluate its investment in the trucking industry?

You have just been hired by Dell Computers in their capital budgeting division. Your first assignment is to determine the free cash flows of a proposed new type of tablet computer similar in size to an iPad but with the operating power of a high-end desktop system.
Development of the new system will initially require an initial capital expenditure equal to 1000, and will then require maintenance expenses equal to 10% of the initial investment after the first year of the project. These expenses will have a 5% increase in the second year, and a 1% increase in the third, fourth, and fifth years. The product is expected to have a life of five years. The initial investment of 1000 is depreciated with the straight-line method over the five years of live of the project.
First-year revenues for the new product are expected to be 300, and they are expected to grow by 15% for the second year then 10% for the third and 5% annually for the final two years of the expected life of the project. The cost of producing the tablet, including the portion of attributable marketing and general expenses, is expected to be 70% of revenues in the first year. Then, it will decrease by 3% in the second year, 4% in the third year, and then again by 3% in the final two years of the project. The company faces a tax rate of 30%.
The working capital requirements are expected to be the following: trade receivables at the end of each year will be equal to 10% of revenues, while trade payables will be 10% of the cost of goods sold. The company also plans to have inventories equal to 5% of revenues at the end of each year. Your job is to determine the free cash flows associated with this project.
1. Calculate the cash flows from operations
2. Calculate the cash flows from working capital changes
3. Calculate the free cash flows of the project
4. Assuming that the cost of capital for the company is 10%, what is the NPV of the project? 5. Should the company accept the project? Why, or why not?
