Financial journal entries

/in /by

Overview: In this milestone, you will move through the first four steps of Final Project I by creating the monthly journal entries and general ledger accounts in
your accounting workbook. The monthly journal entries are how businesses input financial activities into their accounting systems. The values from these entries
are posted to the general ledger.
Prompt: Your dog, Peyton, has severe allergies and cannot have the usual store-bought dog treats. You have been making homemade treats for him that are allnatural and hypoallergenic. Over the past year, you have been making and selling these treats out of your home, and you have been quite successful. You now
have an opportunity to open your own dog treat bakery. You have decided on a corporate form of business and have named your company “Peyton Approved.”
To complete Milestone One, use accepted accounting principles to follow and record your business transactions for a three-month period. You will find the
provided data for your workbook in the appendix at the end of this document. The data have been separated from the prompt so that you can more easily view
the full scope of the assignment. Links have been provided to help you locate the information you need as you move through each step.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Record financial data that accurately captures business transactions according to accepted accounting principles.
A. Step One: Complete the “July Journal Entries” tab in your workbook using the Step One data in the appendix.
B. Step Two: Complete the “August Journal Entries” tab in your workbook using the Step Two data in the appendix.
C. Step Three: Complete the “September Journal Entries” tab in your workbook using the Step Three data and updated scenario information in the
appendix. Note that there was an additional line of products added this month, so you must first complete the “Inventory Valuation” tab in your
workbook and then copy the journal entries from the inventory evaluation page into your journal for this month to ensure the impact of
merchandising is reflected in your reporting.
The following critical element is not graded:
D. Step Four: Transfer posted entries to T accounts.

Cross Cultural Comparisson

/in /by

For this post, select a culture that is SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT from your own that is present in the world today (i.e., another society, religion, or group that you may actually encounter a member of) and investigate their views on death and dying, customs and rituals for mourning and disposition of the body, and any other details pertinent to that culture’s approach to death and dying. For example, if you are raised in a primarily Christian religion (any religion that incorporates the teachings of Jesus Christ) try a completely different religion that does not contain the teachings of Christ at all. If you were raised in a Buddhist household, the select a non-Buddhist tradition to explore. Keep in mind – “Mexican” vs “American” Catholicism are both Christian customs so will not count. Baptist and Catholics are also Christian based cultures. Also, if you select “Native American” you need to select the actual TRIBE that you are studying because of the vast differences in the varying Tribes in America and their customs. A lot of people have difficulty understanding what a culture significantly different than your own means – please email if you are not sure. Basically the way you earn a cross-cultural credit is by examining cultures not your own so it’s important to stretch your comfort levels in this assignment.

Compare and contrast elements of this other approach to that of your own culture. Ideally, for your “research,” you will look at some sort of scholarly written work (e.g., book chapter, article, brochure or other material) and/or speak with an individual who is part of that culture, if possible. Do not use the following as primary sources of information: the course textbook, Wikipedia, or another student’s post. When using websites, they should have a .edu or .org etc and be from a scholarly source, not a popular press article. Sometimes we find some organizations that are extremist in thought but not academic. Please defer to academics for the purposed of this discussion board. It is extremely valuable to speak to an individual that practices your chosen topic, however, back up their statements with a scholarly reference.

Your post should follow a similar structure to this:

  • First paragraph: Declare your current cultural group or the group you are most familiar with and some norms practiced regarding death and dying. Provide a general overview/description of the cultural group that you will report on. It should be significantly different than your own. Tell why you selected that particular group. If you are an atheist and raised without a specific cultural norm, then describe the processes of funerary in detail and the reasons for the individual activities that occur when an atheist in your culture is buried.
  • Second paragraph: Discuss the group’s approach to death and dying, including notable customs/rituals. Other elements you may wish to describe include beliefs about an afterlife (if any), nature of the soul, how children learn about death, taboos, values, and attitudes.
  • Third paragraph: Briefly review the similarities and differences between this culture and your own.
  • References: Cite all sources in APA format.

How does one market the acquisition by EDUS?

/in /by

In this assignment, you will research information related to the marketing and promotion of the acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment. To review the case it is attached below, and consider the following:

Topics for Research and Analysis

Promotional Goals: Identify specific objectives related to the promotion of EDUS’s acquisition of the institution. In addition, identify specific objectives related to informing potential students of new capabilities and offerings resulting from the acquisition. (Promotional goals vary. Some organizations need to create awareness of their product’s benefits compared to competitors. Other promotional goals may involve communicating new uses for an item, or informing customers or lower prices.)

Business Environment: Identify cultural and legal factors that might influence promotional decisions – both in announcing the acquisition within the region and recruiting new students to the institution. (In some countries, certain information is required in television commercials selling products aimed at children.)

Media Plan: Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries, developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.)

Promotional Strategy: Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from this acquisition.

Economic, Cultural, and Political-Legal Environment: Investigate the economic, cultural, and political-legal environment that might affect promotional messages and media relevant to this acquisition.

Recommended Actions: Recommend EDUS actions related to promotional goals, needed adaptations due to cultural or legal factors, and a media plan. Provide evidence to support your recommendations.

Conclusions: Draw conclusions about the material you have presented. The opinions or judgments you present should be supported by your research.

By the due date assigned, submit a PowerPoint presentation (approximately 10 slides) providing your analysis and research findings on the topics indicated. You are expected to include statistical data when possible, including tables, graphs, and other visuals that support and enhance your study. Most importantly, all written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources!

To write a “How-To do something’ essay.

/in /by

This is an essay that asks you to teach something you know very well in a clear, easy to follow, step-by-step instruction and analysis in a funny tone or mood that shows your style. It is usually 3 pages.

Here is an overview:

1. Creative title and bold opening sentence. First introduce the topic and state its importance in a thesis statement. What is the value of the process?

2. Mention supplies and tools that are needed.

3. 3-5 Technical Terms about the topic. What are some advanced words (I call fancy words) for the process that you can teach the reader?

4. Step-by-step easy to follow instruction and analysis. It can be funny!

5. Within each step, encourage the reader, talk about your own experience in learning the process.

6. Incorporate a few quotations from experts related to your topic and if you agree or disagree. These are called in-text citations.

For example: Martha Graham once said, “……..” (Graham, title of book, page #) I agree with Graham’s statement. Practicing every day is very important.

Find 3-5 interesting quotes from experts pertaining to the topic your are writing about for your Process Analysis Paper. They could be famous artists, or your teachers, or anyone who is established in the field you are writing about. Quote the authors name or name of article or book, like this: “Hark who goes there” (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.). This is an in-text citation.

Remember to provide a list of references that you used in the paper in the last page of the essay. This is the Works Cited Page.

The is a list of the research sources in alphabetical order by last name, first name, title, web, date it was written and date you found it on the web. Please see the sample Works Cited page I handed out last week. This is fromOWL.Purdue.com, Easy Bib.com and AAU videos on MLA citation.

7. Use visual examples and attach a few small pictures, graphs or charts in the body of the essay, or at the end of the essay as needed to help the reader. You can add pictures!

8. Conclusion and results of following your steps. The conclusion will talk about results. Once we completed the steps that you teach in the essay we will be able to complete the task and do the process on our own.

9. Include a Works Cited page at the end of the essay with a list of references that you used in MLA format. We will work on this and look at samples. This is an alphabetized list of authors according to last name, first name, book or article title, page number, year published and include the URL link. For example:

Legon, John. “The Cubit and the Egyptian Canon of Art.” The Cubit and
the Egyptian Canon of Art. N.p., (No page) Web.
21 Mar. 2017. <http://www.legon.demon.co.uk/canon.htm/>.

Since my major is fashion design, I think it might be a good idea to write something can be relate to my major.

Should Marijuana Be Decriminalized?, sociology homework help

/in /by

These assignments are meant to engage our course material for a selected week. Flex Your Head Assignments are college-level essays and should have a solid introduction, critically analytical body, and a strong conclusion. The key to these assignments is engaging a critical perspective about a topic tying in your own analysis (not your opinion, mind you) about that topic.

Flex Your Head papers should be 2.5 – 3 pages long, double-spaced. Make sure you follow the required writing guidelines in the syllabus. If you are given prompts for a particular paper, they are not to be answered one-by-one, but meant to be woven into a solid, thoughtful, college-level essay.

Make sure you use at least three quotes from the readings as you write your reflection. I should see a critical engagement here.

Always follow the writing guidelines, to the letter. Be sure to cite within the body of your assignment, but also in a works cited area at the end.

Question: Should Marijuana Be Decriminalized? 

Page 167 of your text presents the Pros & Cons of the Legalization of Marijuana. The film this week, The Union: The Business of Getting High,further explores the topic of the decriminalization of marijuana.  You must make use of both the readings and the film in your paper. Take a stand against what you actually think and write an argument supporting that. So, if you think marijuana should be legalized, I want you to take the opposite side. After you’ve presented your argument, making use of the Pros and Cons and adding your own analysis as well as using (and citing) your text, then take a paragraph to tell me how it felt for you taking the other side. Did you change your mind after thinking it over? Did you come out of it feeling more justified in what you originally believed? Did you develop any empathy for the other side?

Lesson 2 Social Sustainability

/in /by

The company you work for is very traditional. The CEO recently visited one of your facilities in a developing country and was upset with the plight of the people and the environment. As a result, the CEO is interested in moving the company in a new direction. This direction is not yet clear but it is clear that it should have a “for benefit”, social entrepreneurship model, or even an entirely new non-profit arm of the company. Sustainability, particularly in relation to the environment is also a consideration. You have been asked to be part of a team to investigate the possibilities and presenting a branding for this new direction for the company.
