...2013 Josh Wilson, Director Community Health Club 3336 W Loop 306 San Angelo, TX 76904 Dear Mr. Wilson: Introduction I have been a member of Community Health Club for over 6 months, and I have found that swimming laps every morning is a great way to not only stay in shape, but also a great way to reflect and focus for the day ahead. Unfortunately, in order to attain the peaceful experience every morning, I must arrive early enough to beat the rest of the members to the pool, or I risk sitting around waiting for a lane to open up. The issue not having a pool large enough to accommodate all of the members is not only a problem of member satisfaction, but also a financial issue. Fortunately, I have a proposal to build a full sized Olympic pool that can not only guarantee the satisfaction of the current members of Community Health Club, but also provide many new revenue opportunities. Background and Problem The current pool housed at Community Health Club is a 3-lane, 25-yard pool that is used for lap swimming, fitness classes, as well as free swim. With a pool this size, only one of these activities can be done at a particular time period. Not only does this create a scheduling issue while trying to find times for every activity for the different lifestyles of the members, but it also limits the number of classes or activities the club can offer. Add this problem to the fact that because the pool not large enough for the club members to use effectively, the chances of...

...Re:Proposal for the Addition of a Kids Day Camp Program at Red Rocks Country Club Purpose The purpose of this proposal is to suggest development of a Kids Day Camp program at Red Rocks Country Club to enhance the current member experience and attract new members. Summary Red Rocks Country Club is a private organization whose amenities include: an Olympic-size pool, an 18-hole golf course, a full-service restaurant, a private fishing lake and access to a host of hiking trails. Their vision is “A sought after, private club committed to our unique friendliness and natural landscape”. Their website markets the club as “A different kind of country club” and “a family and female friendly Club”. Red Rocks offers a variety of golf programs for men and women: Men’s golf leagues, women’s golf leagues, couples tournaments and Interclub play events. For kids ages 10 and up, they also have a Junior Golf program. However, parents of young children often do not have the opportunity to golf together. For both the man and woman to play, they are faced with finding private childcare on an ad-hoc basis. In the summertime on a weekend day, this is not always an easy task. What often happens is that the man utilizes the golf course and the woman stays home with the kids, which can lead to a “lopsided” perception of the club’s value for the family. I am proposing that Red Rocks Country Club offer a Kids Day Camp childcare program, to be available on Saturdays and Sundays...

...Week 1 Chapter 1 Question 17 People join tennis clubs for a fixed fee per year, which entitles them to play as much as they want without charge. Because people who pay these fees play more tennis than others (who can use free public courts), this means sunk costs matter for decisions. Right? Sunk costs are past costs that have already been made and cannot be recovered. These costs greatly affect the decisions of the person who made those costs because many humans tend to avoid loss and thus act irrationally when making decisions. When People join tennis clubs, their initial intention is to visit the club regularly and make use of the tennis courts and facilities whenever they wanted. Having a membership gives them access to a tennis court at short notice and also opponents in the form of other members who come there to play. Whatever be the initial intention of the person who paid for the membership, later he feels more obligated to go and play at the club. More so than the person who use free public courts. Sometimes he feels compelled to go to the club even if he thinks he better spend his time somewhere else, if only for the sole reason that he paid for the club. This shows that sunk costs do matter for decisions. Week 1 Chapter 1 Question 2 When discussing the maximization of utility, regardless of whether you chose to work more hours or fewer when offered a higher hourly wage, you could not be worse off than you were at a lower hourly wage. Can you show this? Suppose...

...there is evidence that suggests that CO2 can be absorbed by the roots of the plants (Makino and Tadahiko, 1999). Plants have an optimal range for the amount of CO2 they can absorb, and it increase the growth rate of the plant (Poorter, 1993). When a plant reaches its saturation point, consequently; the CO2 will have a negative effect on the plant and inhibit its growth (Poorter 1993). Growth is inhibited by accumulation of carbohydrates in leaves may lead to the repression of photosynthetic gene expression and excess starch seems to hinder CO2 diffusion (Makino and Tadahiko, 1999). The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the addition of CO2 will have an effect on the plant. Question: What effect does club soda have on plant growth and survival? H0: Club soda has no...

...Cascades Swim Club has 300 stockholders, each holding one share of stock in the club. A share of club stock allows the shareholder’s family to use the club’s heated outdoor pool during the summer upon payment of annual membership dues of $175. The club has not issued any stock in years and only a few of the existing shares come up for sale each year. The board of directors administers the sale of all stock. When a shareholder wants to sell, he or she turns the stock into the board, which sells it to the person at the top of the waiting list. For the past few years, the length of the waiting list has remained relatively steady at approximately 20 names.(…………….)
