The report plan is a plan written for the professor explaining what the report will consist of. Your audience is the professor. (The report plan is different than the actual report.)

Create a plan that identifies what information you will need to prepare a justification report making a recommendation to an organization to implement a particular product, service, or program. The organization may have a business, governmental, professional, or social focus. 

The report may focus on a “real” or “made-up” recommendation, but you should direct the report to an actual organization, even if you do not plan to submit the report. 

For the report, the audience within the organization will be whatever level is most appropriate to make a decision on the topic of your report.

I would like for you to pick a topic you are particularly interested in. what am interested in is wonderlic personality test.talk about the purpose, finding,origin,limitation and information did it provide.

For example, I have a particular interest in Antisocial Personality Disorder. For this topic, I may choose Robert Hare’s Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R). I will need to approve your topic and instrument before you begin your research.

You will need to include the following information in your paper/presentation:

I.  A general explanation of your topic of interest.

II.  The measurement process you have chosen along with a discussion of its purpose. (Scale, test, instrument, interview, etc.)

III.  Discussion on why you chose this measurement process over any other process for your topic of interest.

IV.  The psychometric properties of the measurement process. (Reliability, validity, utility, standardization processes if any.)

V.  A review of your measurement process which may come from a journal article, the MMY, TIP, or any other reference material.

VI.  At least 4 examples or uses of your measurement process in the literature. For the scale I have chosen, the PCL-R, I would provide various examples of research that have used the PCL-R. You would need to provide discussion on how it was used and the findings of the research.

This information will need to be written and submitted in an APA style paper.. Remember, you will need to cite any source you use in your research of the measurement process you chose. I’m expecting this will be at least 3 pages in length. You will need to thoroughly cover all of the requirements listed above. Remember, there are many forms of measurement.

Respond to the following scenario with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use research to reinforce your ideas.

Mary Francis has just returned to her office after attending preliminary discussions with investment bankers. Her last meeting regarding the intended capital structure of Apix went well, and she calls you into her office to discuss the next steps.

“We will need to determine the required return for our intended project so that we have a decision criteria defined for the project,” she says.

“Do you have the information I need to describe capital structure and to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?” you ask.

“I do,” she smiles. “We can determine the target WACC for Apix Printing Inc., given these assumptions,” she says as she hands you a piece of paper that says the following:

  • Weights of 40% debt and 60% common equity (no preferred equity)
  • A 35% tax rate
  • Cost of debt is 8%
  • Beta of the company is 1.5
  • Risk-free rate is 2%
  • Return on the market is 11%

“Great,” you say. “Thanks.”

“Be sure to indicate how these costs of capital might be used to determine the feasibility of the capital project,” Mary says. “I want your recommendation about which is more appropriate to apply to project evaluation, too. Let me know what you think.”

“One more thing,” she says as she stands up to signal the end of the meeting. “You did a good job with the explanations that you provided Luke the other day. Would you have time to define marginal cost of capital for me so I can include it in my discussions with investors? You seem to have a knack for making things accessible to nonfinancial folks.”

“No problem,” you say. “I’m glad my explanations are so useful!”

For this assignment, complete the following:

  • Describe capital structure.
  • Determine the WACC given the above assumptions.
  • Indicate how these might be useful to determine the feasibility of the capital project.
  • Recommend which is more appropriate to apply to project evaluation.
  • Define marginal cost of capital.

Defense Spending and the Military-Industrial Complex

Defense Spending and the Military-Industrial Complex

Levin-Waldman (2012, pp. 186-89) analyzes how “iron triangles” link Congress, the bureaucracy, and interest groups in self-serving relationships that influence policy in ways that are contrary to the public interest. In 1961, at the end of President Eisenhower’s second term, he gave a farewell address to the nation in which he warned of the dangers of a “military-industrial complex.” Many commentators today see the military-industrial complex as an example of an iron triangle that bloats the defense budget and distorts national priorities. Not everyone would accept this analysis, however, especially defense “hawks” in Congress, the military bureaucracies, and defense industries.  

Before writing your initial post, review the
assigned resources. To easily access the resources from the Ashford University Library, please see the table located in the Course Materials section.

In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly explain the iron triangle model of policy-making involving Congress, the bureaucracy, and interest groups. Analyze information about relationships among Congress, the military bureaucracies, and defense industries. Draw your own conclusion, and support it with facts and with persuasive reasoning, about the impact of these relationships on defense spending. Evaluate the accuracy of the iron triangle model as a basis for understanding the process of making defense spending policy.

Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own words. Support your position with APA citations to
two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

the research paper about a company (of your choice) that has offices overseas. Describe its business model and how it works in that country. Explain how a company has to operate with laws and culture within that country. Show the differences between working in America and the country you have chosen. Formatting: Be sure to use APA format. You should also use standard 12 pt. fonts (not bolded/italicized, except to emphasize a point, because they can be distracting). Cover Page: Your cover page should include the title of your paper, your name and the course name (or school name). References: The references should include only the articles that you cited in your paper. This should be a separate sheet and the last page of your paper. Refer to APA guidelines for citing and listing sources in your references. Although internet links are helpful, you should also use proper citation of author, article, etc. and not just list a link in the references, or when you cite in the paper. Citing: Be very careful when you cite the information in the articles you use. You should write the ideas in your own words, rather than copying what the author had to say word-for-word. If you do use a specific line, make sure that you quote it so that it's clear that it's not your words. Do not take whole paragraphs and use them to make up a whole section of your paper (even if you cite the author). Research: Your research should include several types of journals and other articles on the topic you are researching. Read the articles and try to integrate the main ideas and common points into your paper. The goal is to find several sources on the same topic that, when integrated, add value to the topic and your paper. Grammar/Spelling: You are writing at the college level, so always use the Spell Check and pay close attention to grammar. Read your paper several times and you will catch mistakes that you might not have noticed when you were first writing it. This will make the final product much better. Writing: When writing a research paper, try to avoid using the first person (saying "I think this…" etc.) unless you are speaking specifically about a personal situation. For example, if you were writing about the Internet and its effect on education, you could start out: "The Internet has drastically changed the way we live and has especially changed the way that many students are obtaining their education." rather than "I am going to write my paper about the Internet and education" or "This paper is about the Internet. I am going to cover its impact on education." Do you see the difference? The first line sounds much more professional than the last two. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or need some direction. Formatting: Be sure to use APA format. You should also use standard 12 pt. fonts (not bolded/italicized, except to emphasize a point, because they can be distracting). Cover Page: Your cover page should include the title of your paper, your name and the course name (or school name). References: The references should include only the articles that you cited in your paper. This should be a separate sheet and the last page of your paper.
