Resource allocation is fundamental to managing a successful project. Explain how stakeholder management is linked to resource allocation management. Additionally, can you have a resource constraint of people without having time constraint implications? Solution resources are the inputs to accomplish a given task while considering all the constraints. they may be financial resources, human or man power resources, technology or financial resources also. every organization\'s ultimate moto is to benefit to the all the stakeholders in long run. because we have limited resources and unlimited activities to perform. total resources can be divided into two types: natural and artifical we should much care about natural resource, which we can use them but we cant create them. even time is also one of the natural resource. the resources which we can produce and utiize are called artificial resouces, like materials, technology, money etc. to fulfill the unlimited needs or tasks, we hato to plan to better utilization of resources. there should be optimum utilization of resources and wastage should be minimum..

Research another industry that has experienced globalization or may be a good candidate for globalization in the future and share your example with the class and explain why you selected the industry.Choose two countries (other than the U.S.) within the same region of the world. Assess the political risks, economic risks, and legal risks of each country. If you had to invest a large sum of money into one of these two countries, which one would it be? Why? Solution 1) An industry which I strongly believe will be a good candidate for globalization and will grow at an exponential rate is the recycling industry. These days we have so many choices for goods that we buy such as mobiles, TV, refrigerator, computers, clothes, furniture, cars, etc. The variety of goods available for us to use is enormous, also technological changes and fashion makes goods obsolete or out of fashion and hence this further drives up the demand for goods. We should also note that the factors of production (inputs) used for this goods are finite. Hence, today there is a very good potential for recycling industry to experience good growth and experience globalization. Recycling firms can make the best use of the used, obsolete goods and out of fashion goods for the benefit of society and save valuable/scarce economic factors of production/inputs. 2) Let me give you the example of India and Pakistan, which belong to the same region of the world: South Asia. Both the countries got independence and existence in the year 1947. Both the countries have almost the same type of people (human capital) and natural resources. On one hand we have India, a developing country attracting huge amounts of investment from foreign companies and different countries and making a good name of itself in the whole world; on the other hand we have Pakistan attracting a bad name in the world for all the possible wrong reasons and with a very poor economy and very low standard of living. We can assess the political, economic and legal risks of these two countries and make the following conclusions: A) Political risks: The government in India is very stable while in Pakistan is not. The government in India is elected by the people(is a democracy) while the government in Pakistan is also elected by the people of Pakistan, the chosen leaders have absolutely no power in controlling the country as the whole power lies with the army and the secret service of that nation. Also, it is very common for political leaders in Pakistan to get assassinated if they do not work as per the will of the country.

Research and analyze the following subject Key Point: You must clearly explain your understanding of the term Financial Repression and then answer the questions below. Please include source(s) Financial Repression Some politicians and financial/economists argue that the U.S. must embark upon an era of “financial repression” in which wealth must be kept from fleeing the country and must be taxed heavily within the country. a. What would be the rationale for financial repression, as defined above? Any arguments against it? b. As part of financial repression, it can be argued that savers should be prevented from any significant real returns on their savings and investments. What would that accomplish? Thank you. Solution Hi, In the simple terms, Fianancial Repression is the measure taken by the government to reduce their debt burder. These measures include steps such as holding down interest rates to below inflation, representing a tax on savers and a transfer of benefits from lenders to borrowers. a) The main raionale behind such a step is that US as of now has a lot of debts, The politicians are now under a lot of pressure to reduce the debt burden. They want the money to circulated within the economy and not move outside the country. Also imposing heavy tax to increase the government earnings. b) The primary purpose behind preventing from any significant real returns on their savings and investments is to reduce the national consumption. Less real return means less savings, which would lead to less consumption. Increasing production faster than domestic consumption increases national savings.

Solution Main audit procedures related to a client’s revenue balances As per Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), auditing revenue is a two-part process: Sample and test the income statement revenue accounts Sample and test the balance sheet account: accounts receivable Here are some of the accounts receivable audit procedures that they may follow: The preceding list of audit procedures is designed to detect a variety of audit risks, which include the following: SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 101 – Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements This staff accounting bulletin summarizes certain of the staff\'s views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The staff is providing this guidance due, in part, to the large number of revenue recognition issues that registrants encounter. Accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements Vendors often provide multiple products or services to their customers as part of a single arrangement or a series of related arrangements. These deliverables may be provided at different points in time or over different time periods. As a simple example, a vendor may enter into an arrangement with a customer to deliver and install a tangible product along with providing one year of maintenance services. In this arrangement, there are three deliverables: (1) the product, (2) installation and (3) maintenance services. Issues often arise regarding how and whether to separate these deliverables and how to allocate the overall arrangement consideration. Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Element Arrangements, of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) provides the guidance that should be followed in accounting for this and many other revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables..

Refer to Example 4.10, Solution Bayes\' theorem deals with the role of new information in revising probability estimates. The theorem assumes that the probability of a hypothesis (the posterior probability) is a function of new evidence (the likelihood) and previous knowledge (prior probability). The theorem is named after Thomas Bayes (1702–1761), a nonconformist minister who had an interest in mathematics. The basis of the theorem is contained in as essay published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London in 1763. Bayes\' theorem is a logical consequence of the product rule of probability, which is the probability (P) of two events (A and B) happening— P(A,B)—is equal to the conditional probability of one event occurring given that the other has already occurred—P(A|B)—multiplied by the probability of the other event happening—P(B). The derivation of the theorem is as follows: P(A,B) = P(A|B)×P(B) = P(B|A)×P(A) Thus: P(A|B) = P(B|A)×P(A)/P(B). Bayes\' theorem has been frequently used in the areas of diagnostic testing and in the determination of genetic predisposition. For example, if one wants to know the probability that a person with a particular genetic profile (B) will develop a particular tumour type (A)—that is, P(A|B). Previous knowledge leads to the assumption that the probability that any individual will develop the specific tumour (P(A)) is 0.1 and the probability that an individual has the particular genetic profile (P(B)) is 0.2. New evidence establishes that the probability that an individual with the tumor—P(B|A)—has the genetic profile of interest is 0.5. Thus: P(A|B) = 0.1×0.5/0.2 = 0.25 The adoption of Bayes\' theorem has led to the development of Bayesian methods for data analysis. Bayesian methods have been defined as \"the explicit use of external evidence in the design, monitoring, analysis, interpretation and reporting\" of studies (Spiegelhalter, 1999). The Bayesian approach to data analysis allows consideration of all possible sources of evidence in the determination of the posterior probability of an event. It is argued that this approach has more relevance to decision making than classical statistical inference, as it focuses on the transformation from initial knowledge to final opinion rather than on providing the \"correct\" inference. In addition to its practical use in probability analysis, Bayes\' theorem can be used as a normative model to assess how well people use empirical information to update the probability that a hypothesis is true. 1. Conditional Probabilities and Bayes\' Theorem The probability of a hypothesis H conditional on a given body of data E is the ratio of the unconditional probability of the conjunction of the hypothesis with the data to the unconditional probability of the data alone. (1.1) Definition. The probability of H conditional on E is defined as PE(H) = P(H & E)/P(E), provided that both terms of this ratio exist and P(E) > 0.[1] To illustrate, suppose J. Do.

Relative to Nazi Germany, what is the difference between the SS and SA? Solution The SA - Sturm Abteilung- roughly translated as \"Storm Battalion\" and commonly known as the Storm Troopers division was formed from activists who agressively intimidated opponents to Hitler\'s Nazi Party, his \"National Socialist German Workers\' Party.\" As a para-military wing, it protected campaigning party members during elections and was considered a \"support group.\" It carried out raids and even murdered opposing party candidates. The SS - Schutzstaffel - made up of SA members,was a protection unit of Hitler\'s bodyguards, comprised of the most loyal of Hitler\'s supporters. It was a small, elite force. It expanded rapidly and became the main controller in the elimination of \"enemies of the State.\" To ensure Hitler\'s absolute power, the \"Blood purge\" of 1934 effectively eliminated the SA. It was not disbanded until later but was basically taken over by the SS itself..
