...INTERVIEW QUESTIONS & TECHNIQUES Collected by MBA Dept General Advice Before you go for your interview you need to find out everything you can about the company. Reread your application/CV/covering letter, so that you can think about your skills and qualifications, and also questions that you might be asked. In order to do well in the interview you need to be able to convince the interviewer that you have the right skills for the job, this will include your motivation towards the job, how well you will fit into the company, along with meeting their academic and skills requirements. You should dress smartly and appropriately and should leave in plenty of time allowing for possible delays, so that you are not late. Remember first impressions last! Tips It's a good idea to ask for a glass of water, as you will be doing a lot of talking, but it’s also good to take a sip if you want a few seconds to think about the question asked. • Ensure that you are sitting comfortably in a position where you can address all the interviewers. • Make sure that you remember the names of the interviewers, and take note of their various roles. First Impressions Most people make an initial opinion of a stranger within the first five minutes of meeting them. According to research employers' impressions are made up of the following: Body Language and image (70%) Tone of voice (20%) What you say (10%) As soon as you enter the building you need to be polite to everyone...

...ACE2006 Agricultural Economics Guidelines for poster assessment You must decide on a research hypothesis and then extract the data you need to test that hypothesis from the Farm Business Service (FBS) dataset. This dataset contains a large number of variables, including measurements of farm income, farm size, total costs, fixed and variable costs, total revenue, revenue from farming, subsidies, farm diversification and agri-environment payments. It also contains details of farm location, enterprise revenue and variable costs (and gross margins), farm type. It is up to you to decide what data you need to test your research hypothesis. For example, you might wish to examine the economies/diseconomies of scale theory, or you may wish to show how farm business income varies with region and within region by farm type (or size). You may wish to determine which farm types earn what % of total revenue from agri-environment payments or from diversification payments. You could examine the labour used on different farms, and correlate this with a measure of farm income. There are endless possibilities. You are asked to decide on a research hypothesis yourself and to work alone this is individual work so DO NOT work in groups. The poster that you will present your research hypothesis and data analysis is described below, this exercise is assessed and is worth 20% of the module mark.

...Source: S. G. Powell and K. R. Baker, 2004. The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets. New York: Wiley & Sons. Copyright © 2004 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION MODELS AND MODELING Modeling is the process of creating a simplified representation of reality and working with this representation in order to understand or control some aspect of the world. While this book is devoted to mathematical models, modeling itself is a ubiquitous human activity. In fact, it seems to be one of just a few fundamental ways in which humans understand the world. As an example, a map is one of the most common models we encounter. Maps are models because they simplify reality by leaving out most geographic details in order to highlight the important features we need. A state road map, for example, shows major roads but not minor ones, gives rough locations of cities but not individual addresses, and so on. The map we choose must be appropriate for the need we have: a long trip home across several states requires a regional map, while a trip across town to find a new doctor’s office requires a detailed street map. In the same way, a good model must be appropriate for the specific uses intended for it. A complex model of the economy is probably not appropriate for pricing an individual product. Likewise, a back-of-the-envelope calculation may be inappropriate for acquiring a multibillion-dollar company. Models take many different forms: mental, visual, physical, mathematical...

...AC556 Week 1 Problem ABC Costing NOTE: It is expected that this problem will be completed using an Excel spreadsheet using formulas. Please see the Excel Tutorial that is available under the course home tab. The new president of the Wernecke Company was stumped. Why had profits gone down? He had directed the sales department to push the product with the highest contribution margin, and the sales department had come through with flying colors. The percent of flams sold had increased from 25% of units sold to 37.5% of units sold. So what happened? | Flims | Flams | Sales Price per Unit | $150 | $500 | Direct Materials per Unit | $75 | $200 | Direct Labor Cost per Hour | $25 | $25 | Direct Labor Hours per Unit | 1 hour per unit | 5 hours per unit | Number of Units Produced | 25,000 | 15,000 | The variable overhead for the coming year is estimated to be $3,000,000. Required: 1. Calculate the Wernecke Company’s estimated direct labor hours to produce flims and flams. 2. Calculate the predetermined variable overhead rate that will be used in the coming year using a traditional costing system based upon direct labor hours. 3. Using a traditional costing system based upon direct labor hours, compute the unit product costs for flims and flams as well as contribution margin per unit. 4. It has been suggested to the president to consider the use of an ABC costing system to allocate manufacturing overhead. Engineering studies have revealed...
