Before starting this assignment be sure you are familiar with the following laws and their amendments:

U.S. Department of Labor. Wage and Hour Division (WHD) (n.d.) The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Retrieved at https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/1421.htm

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Pregnancy Discrimination. Retrieved at https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/pregnancy.cfm

Prepare a 2- to 3-page paper (not counting the cover and reference pages) that discusses how the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, safety laws or other state laws might apply to the following scenario.

One of your old college roommates, Sandra, is a nurse who took a job that required her to be able to lift 50 pounds smoothly. She was told the job had this physical strength requirement for patient safety and to ensure that teams of nurses could move patients as needed. Sandra worked for a nursing home chain that employed 900 employees. Sandra had become pregnant and on her doctor’s advice tried to refrain from lifting 50 pounds. After she kept finding herself in situations at work that required her to do this kind of lifting, she decided to just stay home until the baby was born. After the baby was born, Sandra went back to work, but her baby developed a medical condition that required her to see doctor’s frequently. Sandra didn’t have anyone else who could be a “dedicated” caregiver for her baby, so she took leave from work to tend to her child. When her leave was about to expire, she got her daughter’s doctor to write a note in support of extending her leave. The note wasn’t clear and suggested that the doctor thought it would be nice, but not necessary, for mother and child to be together. Sandra’s manager told her that the nursing home wouldn’t be able to keep her job open for her any longer. However, he told her she should apply to the company again as a new-hire when she was ready to get back to work.

  • Determine the growth of business tort liability in the pharmaceutical industry and discuss where and why tort reform is needed.
  • Assess the impact of business tort liability on corporate liability under the Alien Tort Statute.

Calculate NPV and Payback Period for a project:

/in /by

  • A manufacturing company is thinking of launching a new product.
  • Incremental Revenue: The company expects to sell $950,000 of the new product in the first year and $1,500,000 each year thereafter.
  • Incremental Direct costs including labor and materials: will be 45% of sales.
  • Indirect incremental costs: estimated at $95,000 a year.
  • Project Investment: The project requires a new plant that will cost a total of $1,500,000
  • Depreciation (Incremental Project depreciation): new plane will be a depreciated straight line over the next 5 years.
  • Additional investment in year zero: The new line will also require an additional net investment in inventory and receivables in the amount of $200,000.
  • Assume there is no need for additional investment in building the land for the project. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 35%, and its cost of capital is 10%.
  • Using the information in the assignment description:
    • Prepare a statement showing the incremental cash flows for this project over an 8-year period.
    • Calculate the payback period (P/B) and the net present value (NPV) for the project.
    • Answer the following questions based on your P/B and NPV calculations:
  1. Do you think the project should be accepted? Why?
    • Assume the company has a P/B (payback) policy of not accepting projects with life of over 3 years.
  2. If the project required additional investment in land and building, how would this affect your decision? Explain.

We want to figure out net incremental after-taxcash flows for each year, and then determine their present value

Assume that the plant ceases operations in year 8 and we get back out our incremental working capital.

M4 Plot English

/in /by

A) Start by giving a basic reading reaction to each story.

B) For each story assigned this session, discuss the relationship plot had on your reaction. In other words, if you were dissatisfied with a particular story, try to discern why you reacted this way in terms of plot. You may also bring character into the discussion, but you must at least discuss plot. What type of plot model does each story seem to follow? Which aspects of the plot (inciting incident, climax, etc.) seem most/least satisfactory and why? Are there particular plot devices at play that seem too obvious?

C) Peer question

Helen Keller as a deaf person, what changed her life

/in /by

it is only 2 question (not essay) it is a research paper

Q1 WHAT FACTS DID YOU FIND IN YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT THE TOPIC and YEARS of the critical event in your person’s life that help you to understand the person? How to answer this?

Q2 WHAT FACTS ABOUT the Helen Keller who is your primary source help you to understand period in which he/she lived? About this topic in U.S. history?

first you have to do a research about Helen Keller

your first primary source going to be Helen Keller, The Story of My Life

choose another primary source

and please choose 2 additional secondary sources for example http://www.perkins.org/history/legacy/deafblind

Here’s an article about discrimination and attitudes toward disabilities in Helen’s early life:

http://www.disabilitymuseum.org/dhm/edu/essay.html…

Cite your sources in an abbreviated way at the end of the sentence. (Gleick 142) (textbook 547) (1968 Documentary)

please note

  • Primary sources are the raw materials of history — original documents and objects which were created at the time under study. A primary source is something from the period in your person’s life. It can be a newspaper or magazine article, or something else created back in that time related to the topic of your person’s pivotal period – something that tells you more about the era or the topic of your person’s life-changing period. (Primary means “first” – a first hand source from that period)
  • Secondary sources must be a scholarly book or article, or a RELIABLE scholarly internet site or webpage. (Wikipedia or history.com or like cites are not appropriate)

A SECONDARY SOURCE is something written by a historian about the past. Historians do extensive research and then interpret and create a cohesive, accurate account of some topic in the past. It is “second-hand” information, because you are reading the historian’s work, not something created by the actual historical actors in the past. Secondary sources help give you background information, so that you can understand the significance of events in your person’s life

Suggestions for secondary sources: NON FICTION books (not novels) about the era or about a topic important to your person in his/her era, biographies, scholarly articles. For example, a secondary source might be a book about the 1960s if your person had a life-changing event in the 1960s. Or a university website might have information – careful that you don’t stumble on a page that was created by a university student as part of a class project.

​Whose Inventory is it?

/in /by

Whose Inventory is it?

You were asked to travel to Milwaukee to observe and verify the inventory of the Milwaukee branch of one of your clients. When you arrive on Thursday, December 30, and find that the inventory procedures have just been started. You spot a railway car on the sidetrack at the unloading door and ask the warehouse superintendent, Buck Rogers, how he plans to inventory the contents of the car. He responds, “We are not going to include the contents in the inventory.”

Later in the day, you ask the bookkeeper for the invoice on the carload and the related freight bill. The invoice lists the various items, prices, and extensions of the goods in the car. You note that the carload was shipped December 24 from Albuquerque, f.o.b. Albuquerque, and that the total invoice price of the goods in the car was $35,300. The freight bill called for a payment of $1,500. Terms were net 30 days. The bookkeeper affirms the fact that this invoice is to be held for recording in January.

  1. Does your client have a liability that should be recorded at December 31? Discuss.
  2. For what possible reason(s) might your client wish to postpone recording the transaction?
