Brainstorming for Assignment

/in /by

Use one of the strategies in the Six Pre-Writing Strategies Handout.pdf to come up with at least 20 possible ideas for your Assignment 3. Put the prewriting you’ve done and your ideas into a document and submit here. I just need this.

Prompt:

Write a final essay answering the question “How should we live?” Within this broad question, you should also be answering the more implicit question of “How should we convince others to live?” Use what you’ve learned about rhetorical choices and audience to write an argumentative piece that convinces a specific group about how to address a dilemma in our modern society. While the prompt is broad, pick a narrow and specific subject based on the readings we’ve done throughout class that you can consider. Use our course texts as evidence to help support the point you want to make.

Assignment: Budget Planning and Control

Due Week 9 and worth 200 points

Before approaching this assignment, be sure that you have watched the following video.

Babycakes, a specialty bakery, is the company that will be considered for all parts of your budget planning and control report. For this assignment, you will develop a three to four (3 – 4) page paper in which you address the following.

  1. Briefly discuss the ways a realistic budget will benefit the owner of Babycakes versus having no budget at all. Be sure to use Babycakes as the company and any specific product details in your explanation.
  2. Prepare a sales budget for the LA Babycakes store for the 4th quarter of 2016. Present the number of units, sales price, and total sales for each month; include October, November, and December, and a total for the quarter. Use one-half of the Valentine’s Day sales as the basis for a usual day in the new quarter. Use 30 days for each month. Calculate the total sales for each month for October, November, and December.
  3. Create three (3) new products, one (1) for each of the three (3) holiday seasons in the 4th quarter. Estimate the sales units, sales price, and total sales for each month. Describe the assumptions used to make these estimates. Include an overview of the budget in the report, presenting the actual budget as an appendix with all data and calculations. Add these amounts to your sales budget.
  4. The owner of Babycakes is interested in preparing a flexible budget rather than the static budget she currently uses. She does not understand why, when sales increase, her static budget often shows an unfavorable variance. Explain how a flexible budget will overcome this problem. Use the details of your newly prepared budget for the 4th quarter of 2016 to address her concern.
  5. Imagine that Babycakes is facing a financial challenge that is causing the actual amount of money that it spends to become significantly more than its budgeted amount. Include a discussion of your own unique cause of the overspending. Explain the corrective actions needed to address these challenges.
  6. Integrate relevant information from at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Please do not use your textbook as an academic resource. Also, Wikipedia and other Websites that are unreliable do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements.

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.
  • An abstract is not required.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Evaluate management control systems and examine their relationship with accounting and planning, including feedback and non-financial performance measurements.
  • Evaluate decision-making tools for capital investments, budgeting, and budgeting controls.
  • Analyze financial accounting tools and techniques that convert financial accounting data into information for decision making.

Unit I Essay Emergency medical services (EMS)

/in /by

Unit I Essay
Emergency medical services (EMS) began with the shaky history of hearses as transport vehicles and the idea that they
waited for the patients to die as there was more money in funerals than in a drive to the hospital. The financial ethics and
morals of EMS are still questioned. One of the important skills you can gain from this course is simply being able to explain
the importance and purpose of financial management and business ethics within an EMS system, so that is what this
assignment covers.
In your own words, draft a one-page response of how both personal and business ethics shape the current status of EMS.
Use your current knowledge about financial management and EMS systems. By the end of the course, you should be able
to provide a much more elaborate response.
The purpose of this question is to allow you to begin thinking critically about the purpose of financial management for EMS
systems and to understand how it affects the entire system. Follow APA style when formatting your assignment and when
creating your references and in-text citations

The-Structure-of-Statements-Translating-If-and-And-Statements

/in /by

This exercise will help you become more proficient at recognizing, translating, and evaluating if and and statements. In this assignment, find two examples for the exercise; translate the claims of the example into symbolic form; identify an if or an and statement; then assess it.

Note: Translation and assessment are tools we use to categorize statements. Therefore, you will not be penalized if, through translation and assessment, you learn a statement that appeared to be an if or an and statement is a statement of another type.

The completed assignment must contain the original claims, your translation of the claims into logical form, and your assessment of the statement in logical form. The original examples should be three to five sentences in length.

Your assessment should include answers to the following questions:

  • Is the set of claims an argument?
  • Is the original claim (when translated) an if . . . then or and statement?
  • Did the translation of the original claims reveal the statement was a different kind of statement than you originally believed?

Remember, you will also need to provide a translation key to explain the symbols you use.

Present the summary, translation, and evaluation in Microsoft Word document format

The Chairwoman of Board of Directors has selected you to lead the effort to create an international internship program for your organization. You will be leading a cross-cultural virtual team, including the vice president (VP) of human resources and department heads from all areas of the organization from its locations throughout the United States. The team is responsible for developing a 3-month summer program for 50 international interns. The international interns will be selected from university programs in their home country, will travel to the organization’s U.S. locations, will live and work in the United States, and then may have the potential to be offered a permanent position with the organization.
