Assignment Steps

Scenario: BizCon, a consulting firm, has just completed its first year of operations. The company’s sales growth was explosive. To encourage clients to hire its services, BizCon offered 180-day financing – meaning its largest customers do not pay for nearly 6 months. Because BizCon is a new company, its equipment suppliers insist on being paid cash on delivery. Also, it had to pay up front for 2 years of insurance. At the end of the year, BizCon owed employees for one full month of salaries, but due to a cash shortfall, it promised to pay them the first week of next year.

As the senior accountant, the Chief Financial Officer has asked you to prepare a memo to be sent to management notifying them of the delayed wage payments.

Prepare the memo in a maximum 700 words including the following information to better outline the situation:

Explain how cash and accrual accounting differs for each of the events listed in the above scenario and describe the proper accrual accounting.

Assess how at the end of the year, BizCon reported a favorable net income, yet the company’s management is concerned because the company is very short of cash. Explain to management how BizCon could have positive net income and yet run out of cash.

respond to two student with 1-2 paragraphs, in cite qoutes and references be detailed no short sentences. also ask a question for the student for the two students.

CARA: 1

The book outlines the contingency theory as more situational
leadership. It suggests that there is no best leadership style, but
leadership that molds to the needs of an organization. There are four
key elements that influence the leader’s behavior; “the nature of the
task or activity, resource availability, the history of the task, and
the history of the people involved.” With that being said, the traits
approach states that a leader is determined by certain characteristics.
This seems closely related to the behavioral leadership which looks at
how people react to the behaviors portrayed by chosen leaders.

It is my opinion that the contingency theory is by far the best
route in heading an organization. There is a significant amount of truth
that some characteristics such as ambition need to be present in a
leader, but that is simply to help boost them to the position of power. A
leader must be able to mold themselves to fit the situation of the
position they are in. I have said this before and I stick to it that all
people and all circumstances are unique. A good leader must be able to
read situations that they are presented with and mold themselves to fit
the needs.

CINDI 2

As Allen and Sawhney (2015, pp 227) explained, “the proponents of
situational leadership assert that there is no one best leadership
style, but that different situations require different leadership
styles. ” This is the very definition of the contingency theory of
leadership. Each person and each situation is going to differ, which
requires leaders to be able to accommodate their leadership style. For
instance, if a newer correctional officer is late on rounds, but is
consistently 15 minutes late, there may be a misunderstanding of when
the next round is due after the previous ends. In this situation, it is
better for the leader to coach and discuss the issue, rather than to
lecture and threaten with discipline. If after the discussion and
coaching the new officer still doesn’t have his rounds completed on
time, then progressive discipline should take place, requiring the
leader to bend his or her leadership style again.

Allen and Sawhney (2015, pp 228) further explained that
“successful leaders are known to change their leadership style with the
situation presented to them, rather than adapting the same leadership
style to all situations.”Again with the same scenario above, with the
only difference is a veteran officer, the approach would be different. A
veteran officer has been through numerous pieces of training and has
been at the facility long enough to understand that being late on rounds
is not an acceptable practice. Therefore, the approach to the veteran
officer would be different than to a new officer.

DISCUSSION POST ONE_ be detailed, 1-2 paragraphs, ask questions, incite qoutes and ref.

1.Research the risks and benefits of jobs being outsourced to India and
China. In doing so, assess the similarities and differences between the
types of jobs being outsourced to China and India. Your post should also
address the pros and cons of outsourcing jobs endured by U.S. consumers
and U.S. government.

2Explain the contingency theory of leadership; in your opinion is it an
advancement over the traits and behavioral approaches to leadership and
what are you basing your opinion on.

Hazard Vulnerability Analysis

/in /by

  • Students should go to https://www.calhospitalprepare.org/hazard-vulnerability-analysis. (Links to an external site.)
  • (Links to an external site.)You MUST download the “Hazard Vulnerability Analysis Tool” and “Instruction Sheet”. Then open this file in Excel – then conduct a Hazard Vulnerability Analysis using the tool for your home or work environment and score it making an educated guess. The spreadsheet format will automatically calculate the risk impact for the student. Using the information from the analysis tool, students should select 5 events from the tool that indicate they are at a high risk. For these 5 events (e.g., power outage, hurricane), the students should determine how they can better prepare for this event to mitigate the impact. As an example, for a prolonged power outage at their home – they would need to have flashlights with extra batteries or a generator, a back-up source, etc.

What you want to accomplish while attending the university

/in /by

The professor’s instructions of the assignment :

For the writing assignment, I want you to think about what you want to accomplish while attending the university. As an international student I want you to think about what you want to learn the next four years while studying in the United States.

I want to you determine two goals for yourself and describe them. They can short term goals (that you can accomplish next semester) or long-term goals (things you can accomplish for the next four years at the university), but they must be unique to YOU. You can’t simply say, “My goal is to graduate,” or “my goal is to pass my classes with all ‘A’s.”. EVERY student strives for those things (hopefully!). So what makes you different from your class mates? What makes you unique?

Please write about how you hope to accomplish each goal (a paragraph for each goal, plus an introduction paragraph and a conclusion)

Macroeconomics: Exchange Rate, business and finance homework help

/in /by

In a 1-2 page paper, address the following:

Recall that an exchange rate is the price of one currency in another. For example, it may take US $1.35 to buy 1 British Pound. Also recall the interest rates affect exchange rates. What do you predict will happen to the foreign exchange rate if interest rates in the United States increase more than in the UK? (In other words, which currency will become stronger?) How would such a change affect US exports to the UK? Would it be less expensive for an American tourist to take a vacation to London after the interest rate change? Be sure to clearly explain and justify your reasoning.

Ensure you have presented your assignment in a logical format, that has an introduction paragraph, the body (one or more paragraphs), and a concluding paragraph. Also, ensure that you have the appropriate formatting to avoid plagiarism and the appropriate grammar (this may be achieved by using free tools available on the Internet).

The following criteria will be used to grade the papers:

  • Realistically and thoroughly explains what might happen to the foreign exchange rate.
  • Makes realistic predictions about what might happen to US exports and explains why.
  • Realistically predicts what might happen to the price of a London vacation and explains why.
  • Organization and style of the essay.

Organization Grading Guidelines: Presentation is very effective and presented in a logical format with a clear beginning, middle and end. There is a clear statement of ideas and smooth transitions. The writer has stated the main idea clearly and has provided relevant details. The main idea is clearly conveyed in a presentation that is highly relevant and interesting. The student provides evidence of thoughtful input. Details are rich and appropriate. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization are virtually always correct
