prepare a letter to a judegment debtor

/in /by

You work for Suzie Que, Que and Cue, LLC, 500 Fifty Street,
Bluewater, MN 12345. Ms. Que represents Rudolph Enterprises, 1234 Kelly
Ave, Carlsbad, CA 92010. Billy Blue ordered merchandise from Rudolph
Enterprises. The merchandise was delivered, but he has not paid his
bill. Rudolph has attempted to obtain payment for the merchandise
numerous times, but all phone calls have gone unanswered. The total
amount due was $4,077.61 plus interest.

A court order has been issued from a default judgment, ordering Billy
Blue to pay the full amount owed to Rudolph. Neither Ms. Que nor
Rudolph are aware of any bank accounts or other property which could be
used to satisfy the judgment. They are aware that his address is 123
Blue St, Bluewater, in your home state. Therefore, Ms. Que has decided
to send a letter notifying Mr. Blue of the judgment and his debt to
Rudolph. She has provided you with a sample letter sent in a previous case but thinks it needs some reworking.

She has asked you to prepare a letter to the judgment debtor, as well
as a letter to follow up in the event Mr. Blue does not respond to an
initial inquiry. Use the law of your home state to rework the letter
provided by Ms. Que in preparing your letters to Mr. Blue.

Survey of Western Music History discussion (350 words)

Find and post a topically relevant recording of a musical performance (either a live performance or a studio recording), along with your brief 350-word analysis of that example that fits within the focus of the current topic. This assignment’s focus is:

Keyboard music of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, or delve into the music of the empfindsamer Stil. Make notes about harmony, form, and above all, social context.

Choose your music thoughtfully and listen to the music mindfully. Post your media example and form an analysis by demonstrating at least three distinguishing characteristics (such as the prevalent style technique, instrumentation, social context, and so on) that your example displays. In your synopsis, cite specific times in the recording (“4:42,” or “11:27,” for example) where you hear the characteristics or elements take shape. You should also include your general thoughts about the example, including what piqued your interest, and how it might have challenged your expectations or expanded your understanding of music in its historical context. Your embedded media must be functional in order for the assignment to be assessed for a grade.

Nota Bene: It is a good practice (especially if you have a variable Internet connection) to compose your Canvas assignments in Google Drive or other similar office software while you are developing your assignment. When you are satisfied that your assignment is ready to be posted, copy and paste your text into Canvas at that time. This will ensure that you do not work in canvas and inadvertently lose your work.

Feedback from instructor:

FIRST DRAFT FEEDBACK: I see some good work here in parts of your document, but more work is needed to improve it. Remember that the final draft needs FOUR sources, not just the two you submitted. Also, each source needs to focus on a study, so there will be a “methodology,” “findings,” etc. You need to tell us what the study was about (how it was conducted, etc.) and what the conclusions of the study were. Right now I’m not sure that these sources are actually based on “studies.” Make sure your final draft includes topic indicators for each section: “Focus,” “Conclusion,” etc. The beginning of your paper should state your topic. Journal titles are missing. I would recommend reviewing the format for this paper. Hope your final draft goes well!

Marrgrett, a public limited company, accounting homework help

/in /by

Marrgrett, a public limited company, is currently planning to acquire and sell interests in other entities and has asked for advice on the impact of IFRS3 (Revised) ‘Business Combinations’ and IAS27 (Revised) ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’. The company is particularly concerned about the impact on earnings, net assets and goodwill at the acquisition date and any ongoing earnings impact that the new standards may have.

The company is considering purchasing additional shares in an associate, Josey, a public limited company. The holding will increase from 30% stake to 70% stake by offering the shareholders of Josey, cash and shares in Marrgrett. Marrgrett anticipates that it will pay $5 million in transaction costs to lawyers and bankers. Josey had previously been the subject of a management buyout. In order that the current management shareholders may remain in the business, Marrgrett is going to offer them share options in Josey subject to them remaining in employment for two years after the acquisition.

Additionally, Marrgrett will offer the same shareholders, shares in the holding company which are contingent upon a certain level of profitability being achieved by Josey. Each shareholder will receive shares of the holding company up to a value of $50,000, if Josey achieves a pre-determined rate of return on capital employed for the next two years.

Josey has several marketing-related intangible assets that are used primarily in marketing or promotion of its products. These include trade names, internet domain names and non-competition agreements. These are not currently recognised in Josey’s financial statements.

Marrgrett does not wish to measure the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries on the basis of the proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets, but wishes to use the ‘full goodwill’ method on the transaction. Marrgrett is unsure as to whether this method is mandatory, or what the effects are of recognising ‘full goodwill’. Additionally the company is unsure as to whether the nature of the consideration would affect the calculation of goodwill.

To finance the acquisition of Josey, Marrgrett intends to dispose of a partial interest in two subsidiaries. Marrgrett will retain control of the first subsidiary but will sell the controlling interest in the second subsidiary which will become an associate. Because of its plans to change the overall structure of the business, Marrgrett wishes to recognise a re-organisation provision at the date of the business combination.

Required:

Discuss the principles and the nature of the accounting treatment of the above plans under:

1- International Financial Reporting Standards setting out any impact that IFRS3 (Revised) ‘Business Combinations’ ( 400 words)

2- IAS27 (Revised) ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ might have on the earnings and net assets of the group.( 400 words)

PART 1:

INTRODUCTION, REVIEW OF LITERATURE, PROBLEM STATEMENT, RESEARCH QUESTIONS

TOPIC- Bike shops challenges In North America throughout COVID-19

HERE ARE THE KEY PARTS OF THIS TERM PAPER (PART 1):

Introduction

COVID-19 has hit all the industries globally; services are one of the most affected; however, nobody thought that the bike industry would face new issues and challenges through this pandemic. The last year has increased the demand for cycling in North America, and a significant example is Vancouver, one of the most beautiful and accessible cities for biking in Canada. Unfortunately, most of the bikes are manufactured outside Canada and U.S.A.; China, Japan, Cambodia are countries where over 75% of the bikes and their components are from. Bike Stores are facing since May 2020 parts supply mainly because factories in Asia are working less than 50% of their capacity; Shimano has over 60% of the bike’s component market, and their waiting time in their most common components is around one year, creating a long wait-list for the frame’s manufacturers like Trek, Giant, Specialized and Scott in the bike world.

As a manager in the largest Bike Rental Store in Canada, we face the challenge of providing the safest and best service possible with over 1000 bikes in the store, creating and coming across new ideas and new services that the pandemic has made us do. The following research will inform how important is the bike industry in Metro Vancouver and how the pandemic has caused us to expand our communication with other providers and stores inside and outside Canada to satisfy our customers.

Introduction/Background (200 words)

The review should be written in an integral / synthetic style, and NOT as an annotated bibliography.

This part of your research proposal should be roughly 7-9 pages (excluding cover page and references) and written in paragraphs, report format. All citations and references for this course are to be done in the APA style.

Please note: Use in-text citations to reference all ideas, concepts, text, and data that are not your own. If you make a statement, back it up with a reference!

  • Research a minimum of 15 relevant business-related literature sources (focus on material available in digital format only for this course). Carefully choose your 15 “keepers” that are clearly related to your study. (Note: you might need to find 30 to “keep” only 15).
  • Identify major common themes encountered in the selected literature sources. For each theme, create its own subsection within the literature review.
  • For each theme / subsection of the literature review, explain the opinions of the authors and show their similarities, differences, methods of acquisition of data, methods of data analysis and other pertinent information. State how the reviewed research results relate to your proposed study.
  • Identify the gaps in the literature and explain what needs to be done to move forward in your research.

Statement of the Problem

Detail the problem that you are considering. Explain:

  • How are you defining and delimiting the specific area of the research?
  • What is the gap that will be addressed by this research?
  • What it is that you hope to learn by conducting this research?
  • Discuss the anticipated outcomes and benefits to the researcher, the organization, or society.

Research Questions

Provide focused research questions for your planned research. Also provide a back-up question in case the first one does not pan out. Make sure you address the following questions:

  • What is the scope of your research?
  • Is the scope of your research question reasonable?

PART 2: Statistics in Quantitative Methods

The purpose of the assignment is to develop skills associated with selecting and applying methods for data collection, and time series data analysis and hypothesis testing.

Data collection
Identify the sources that will offer the information that you need to answer the research question (journals, books, internet resources, government documents, people, etc).

  • What data do you plan to acquire to answer your research question? Why? What kinds of instruments, variables, materials, or sources will you use (i.e., will you use observations, surveys, interviews, case studies, focus groups, experiments, documents, media, data base searches, etc.)? If you plan to use mixed methods, will they be sequential, concurrent, or transformative? Why?
  • List the kinds of data/information that you plan to collect (e.g., testimonials, statistics, business/government reports, other research data, audio/video recordings, etc.). Also, consider two or three alternative ways you could gather data/information for this research.
  • If you plan to use research participants, where will they come from? How will they be sampled? How many participants will you require? If you are not using research participants, who will you use as the target audience of your data? Who would most benefit from your research, and why?
  • Business research topics relate to events that develop in time.
    • Explain how you would acquire a snapshot of data relevant to your research question. Within the snapshot, the data become effectively stationary.
    • Consider the evolution of data with time. How would you acquire the time series data relevant to your research question?
