Due tomorrow morning and here is my Module 1 assignment to use for module 4 SLP. Apple Financial Analysis Trident University Adeyemi Olatunji Module 1 SLP FIN 501 Dr. Michael Aubry May 21, 2017 Apple Financial Analysis Apple Inc. is a premier company that deals with the design, production and marketing of computers, mobile phones and third party applications, and software. The company’s products include the iPhone, pad, and mac. The company’s operating system software include as is, OS X, watches, and those ("Apple - Annual Report", 2015). Other products include; the Apple TV, iPod and the Apple Watch. Apple’s target market includes the government, midsized businesses and other enterprises. Apple is one the best performing companies in the tech industry as shown by its financial ratios that indicate the financial health of the company. Recent Financial Performance To efficiently evaluate Apples financial condition I analyzed its financial statements and used the values in the statements to calculate the financial ratios for the last three years. After performing an incisive analysis of the company’s financial statements by calculating various measures and comparing them to the industry benchmarks such as the S&P index it is evident that the company is financially strong and performing better than its peers in the industry. Current financial Health There are various ratios and techniques that can be used to analyze Apple’s current financial health. These measures can be categorized into liquidity, profitability, asset management and debt ratios. The ratios measure the performance, rate of growth, efficiency and the financial condition of the company as discussed below Liquidity ratios The current ratio measures the solvency and liquidity of an entity. It is calculated as current assets divided by current liabilities (Khan, & Jain, 2007) . Apple Inc.'s current ratio increased from 2014 to 2015 and from 2015 to 2016. The quick ratio is also another liquidity ratio that measures the ability of a company to meet its most current obligations. The steady increase in the liquidity ratio indicates that Apple has improved it is ability to meet its obligations. LIQUIDITY RATIOS 2014 2015 2016 Quick ratio 0.67 0.72 1.04 current ratio 1.08 1.1 1.35 Financial Value The price to earnings ratio is used to calculate the financial value of a company. The Price to earnings ratio can be interpreted as the length of time in years a company takes to recover the price paid for the stock. It values the company by measuring the current share price in relation to the earnings per share. The price to earnings ratio is calculated as; Market Value per Share / Earnings per Share. Apple’s Price to earnings ratio has been on the rise for the last couple of years but reduced slightly in the last fiscal year. The price to cash flow is also other ratio used in valuation of a company. According to the t.

8.11 Equity Method for Minority, Active Investments. U.S. GAAP requires firms to account for equity investments in which ownership is between 20% and 50% using the equity method. Ace Corporation owns 35% of Spear Corporation during 2014. Spear Corporation reported net income of $100.4 million for 2014 and declared and paid dividends of $25 million during the year. a. Calculate the equity income that Ace Corporation reports in 2014 related to its ownership in Spear Corporation. b. What does Ace Corporation report in its statement of cash flows for 2014 related to its ownership in Spear Corporation? c. Assuming that Ace Corporation’s balance sheet account, Investment in Spear Corporation, is $1,100 million at the beginning of 2014, what is the balance in the account at the end of 2014? Support your answers with calculations. 9.2 Revenue Recognition. Revenues are at the core of a firm’s ability to grow and prosper; thus, they are central to the analysis of a firm’s profitability. Although the time-of-sale method is the most common technique employed to recognize revenues, in some instances, a strong argument can be made for recognizing revenue before the product has been completed and delivered.

A firm, therefore, needs to develop measures that predict likely profitability. These are referred to as steering controls because they measure variables that influence future profitability. Every industry has its own set of key metrics that tend to predict profits. Airlines, for example, closely monitor cost per available seat mile (ASM). An example of a steering control used by retail stores is the inventory turnover ratio, in which a retailer’s cost of goods sold is divided by the average value of its inventories. Another steering control is customer satisfaction.

Appendix A Specimen Financial Statements: Apple Inc. Once each year, a corporation communicates to its stockholders and other interested parties by issuing a complete set of audited financial statements. The annual report, as this communication is called, summarizes the financial results of the companys operations for the year and its plans for the future. Many annual reports are attractive, multicolored, glossy public relations pieces, containing pictures of corporate officers and directors as well as photos and descriptions of new products and new buildings. Yet the basic function of every annual report is to report financial information, almost all of which is a product of the corporations accounting system. The content and organization of corporate annual reports have become fairly standardized. Excluding the public relations part of the report (pictures, products, etc.), the following are the traditional financial portions of the annual report: Financial Highlights Letter to the Stockholders Managements Discussion and Analysis Financial Statements Notes to the Financial Statements Managements Responsibility for Financial Reporting Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Selected Financial Data The official SEC filing of the annual report is called a Form 10-K, which often omits the public relations pieces found in most standard annual reports.

PURPOSE: To begin applying critical lenses (theory) to both the literary reading and writing processes. You’ll analyze a piece of fiction using the fundamental premises and rules of interpretation outlined by a school of criticism. In this first paper you will focus on intrinsic analysis, doing a close study of the various literary elements, language and patterns that create meaning in the text. While the two critical lenses differ considerably, both function on the premise that analysis of the “text and the text and alone” best reveals meaning. (Psychoanalytic criticism does include several components that emphasize extrinsic analysis , but several of its modes of interpretation subscribe to or allow for intrinsic analysis.) ASSIGNMENT: In a 4-5 page, MLA-formatted paper, analyze one of the short stories selected for the paper using either New Criticism or Psychoanalytic Criticism. (Below-page 2- you will find a list of short stories on which you can base this first paper. I will post a list of additional stories and their attending summaries in another document that goes with this prompt.) Your paper should include direct quotes that support your examples, a clear and thoughtful thesis (you’ll find examples of an intro/thesis for both schools of criticisms in the theory folders on Blackboard – the New Critical example is already posted). DRAFT DUE DATE : THURS, 6/29. (If you want the opportunity to submit a revision, you need to turn in a completed paper on the draft due date – one that meets length and topic requirements.) FINAL DRAFT DUE DATE: One week after I return the paper to you LITERARY SELECTIONS: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas : “ One child is chosen from the population to serve as a sacrifice that will allow the rest of the city to live in peace and plenty. The child is placed in a small, windowless room without any amenities and is completely cut off from the rest of society except for the short visits from those who come to view the child. When they learn of the child’s existence, the people of Omelas battle with the knowledge of The child, who suffers for them, and the guilt they feel as a result of their knowledge. Red Card : “What if the government gave everybody one free pass to shoot one person, any person, for whatever reason? . . . S.L. Gilbow says that the idea for “Red Card” actually came from a conversation he had with his daughter, Mandy. “One day after a driver cut me off in heavy traffic. I . . . turned to my daughter and said, ‘Everyone should be allowed to shoot one person without going to prison.’ My daughter thought for a second then turned to / me and said, ‘Dad, if that were true you would have been dead a long time ago.” “Just Do It”: Heather Lindsley. “Chemistry has a bad rap these days.

Purpose of Assignment Students will employ the supply and demand model to develop consumer surplus and producer surplus as a measure of welfare and market efficiency. Students learn about welfare economics--the study of how the allocation of resources affects economic well-being--and will discover that under most circumstances, the equilibrium price and quantity is also the one that maximizes welfare. Students will review different sources of externalities and a variety of potential cures and will see that while markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity, governments can sometimes improve market outcomes. Students will see how the U.S. government raises and spends money and the difficulty of making a tax system both efficient and equitable. Assignment Steps Scenario: You have been assigned to a team that has the responsibility of preparing a paper for the governor's next economic conference. Prepare a 1,050-word paper addressing the following: Explain why equilibrium of supply and demand is desirable. Explain the following concepts using the concept of consumer and producer surplus: Efficiency of markets Costs of taxation Benefits of international trade Discuss how externalities may prevent market equilibrium and the various governments policies used to remedy the inefficiencies in markets caused by externalities.

Purpose of Assignment The case study focuses on break-even, margin of safety, and incremental analysis and allows students to experience working through a business scenario to apply these tools in managerial decision making. Students are required to make decisions and provide solutions based on their evaluation of financial data. Assignment Steps Resources: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), U.S. Securities and Exchange Committee (SEC) Tutorial help on Excel ® and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft ® Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products. Scenario: Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the Circular Club of Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to suggest a new fundraising activity for the club. After a considerable amount of research, Shelley proposed the Circular Club sponsor a professional rodeo. In her presentation to the club, Shelley recommends the fundraiser become an annual activity with the following goals: Continue to grow each year Give back to the community Provide the club a presence in the community Shelley's goal in the first year is to have an activity that would become an "annual community event" and would break even the first year and raise $5,000 the following year. In addition, based on the experience of other communities, Shelley believed a rodeo could grow in popularity so the club would eventually earn an average of $20,000 annually. A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world's oldest and largest rodeo-sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional rodeo. The sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the following five events: Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, and Calf Roping, Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize money in the amount of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the seven events. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated with the rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably not be sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent letters to local businesses soliciting contributions in exchange for various sponsorships. Exhibiting Sponsorships are $1,000 to exhibit products or services, while Major Sponsorships are $600, and Chute Sponsorships are $500 to have the name of the sponsor's business on one of the six bucking chutes. For a contribution of $100, individual sponsors will be included in a Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs. A local youth group will be contacted to provide concessions to the public and divide the profits with the Circular Club. The Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June 1, 2, and 3. The cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or $10 at the gate; the cost of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is set at $6 in .

Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources. • 1 References, f ind resources that are 5 years or less • No errors with APA format 6 Edition Discussion: ( Which theory speaks to your advanced nursing practice?) One of the theorists that speaks to my nursing practice is Madeleine Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality otherwise known as transcultural nursing. The theory of transcultural nursing promotes understanding of both the universally held and common understandings of care among humans and the culture-specific caring beliefs and behaviors that define any particular caring context of interaction (Butts & Rich, 2018, p. 572). Culture is the specific pattern of behavior that distinguishes any society from others and gives meaning to human expressions of care (McFarland & Wehbe-Alamah, 2015). This theory is intended to view the patient as a whole being. As an APN, this theory will allow me to be considerate of my patient’s needs. In turn, they will feel respected and listened to and hopefully this will promote a long-lasting relationship. Leininger discovered that inadequate knowledge of cultural factors represented a missing link in her ability to provide care (Nelson, 2006). As a future APN, I recognize the need and sometimes missing component of culture care nursing in our women’s health practice today. For example, in South Dakota we have a lot of Native American reservations. Since we see a number of Native American women, I think it would be beneficial for me to better understand their culture and beliefs related to healthcare in order to offer these women expert care. Also, with Leininger’s transcultural nursing theory she believes seeing the patient as a whole and to appreciate that the patient represents a complex constellation of physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, social, environmental, and economic factors that interact and contribute to the patient’s unique wholeness and influence their ability to participate in health promotion, health maintenance, and disease modifying activities (McFarland & Eipperle, 2008). As an APN, by viewing the patient as a whole and recognizing their diversities, I will provide better patient care in which caring will be the main focus and recognizing that their different beliefs and cultures play a part in their decision making to the different treatment options.

EACH BULLET POINT OF THIS CASE STUDY NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED. CASE STUDY AND BULLET POINTS: Andrew Rockfish and the co- owners have been looking for a competitive edge in the North American market that will translate well to the other divisions. A recent meeting of the owners resulted in the decision to target business organizations with custom services. This decision stems from recent feedback from customers that revealed that for GDD to anticipate the needs of their clients, suppliers and service vendors, the Company needed to decrease the turnaround time in delivery and the mailing of small packages and letters. Rockfish has decided to offer “boutique” services to its business customers. Catering to businesses will allow GDD to provide personal services that Fed Ex and UPS cannot offer. Customizing the services will allow GDD to increase prices while creating a new niche.

Purpose: Discussion Thing to Remember: Answer this discussion with opinions/ideas creatively and clearly. Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources. 1 References, try to find resources that are 5 years or less No errors with APA format. --------------- Discussion: Opinion Leaders This page automatically marks posts as read as you scroll. Adjust automatic marking as read setting I chose to further my education in hopes of providing better patient care and education. I want to be seen as an influence and a primary healthcare provider. My goal is to provide specialized, high-leveled care to patients with different backgrounds. An opinion leader is someone who has strong influence within a work place, giving of their time and experience, and creates strategies to help change an initiative. An opinion leader earns their role after much experience and expertise. Others look to them for advice and new information (Hamric, Hanson, Tracy, & O’Grady, 2014). When problems arise in a work environment, employees will look towards opinion leaders and others who will lead them through the stressors and crises. In order to be successful as an opinion leader, staff must be committed to serving the organization and devote time for teaching. Patient and staff safety should always be at the forefront. Not one person knows all the answers, but once we live through various experiences our abilities and competence improve and widen (Kai Tiaki, 2014). Communication skills can improve opinion leaders abilities. It is important that communication allows everyone’s voice to be heard, in an open, non-combative manner. In order for piers and other staff to have a positive trusting relationship with the opinion leader, they must feel as though they are being heard and also guided in difficult situations (Pollard & Wild, 2014). By the end of the summer, I am hoping my schedule allows me to become a preceptor for new graduates. I view that role as being an opinion leader for an individual, which would progress to a small group. I would love the opportunity to mold new fellows with everything I have learned so far as a postpartum nurse. When a newer nurse comes to me for advice, I want them to feel safe. My goal is never to talk down to someone making him or her feel inadequate for coming to me for help in the first place. If I do not know how to solve the issue I have been made aware of, I seek guidance from another senior nurse. I feel as though a good opinion leader wants others to seek their guidance instead of possibly making a mistake. References Hamric, A. B., Hanson, C. M., Tracy, M. F., & O’Grady, E. T. (2014).

Purpose: A Comment to Discussion: Team Dynamics Thing to Remember: Answer this discussion with opinions/ideas creatively and clearly. Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources. 1 References, find resources that are 5 years or less No errors with APA format 6th edition Discussion: Team Dynamics As healthcare providers, we should aim to provide safe and quality care to patients while working with other members of the interdisciplinary team. However, teamwork is not always easy. I would like to explicate some of the characteristics of the interdisciplinary team that can prove to be beneficial to teamwork, as well as those that can hinder the teamwork process. I feel the most important aspect of teamwork is proper communication. Without communication, information cannot be conveyed to other members of the team. According to Lavoie-Tremblay et al. (2014) “team building requires considerable attention to interpersonal and communication skills” (p. 23). Members of the team must also share respect for one another and act in a professional manner through team interactions. Also, I think it is important for each team member to know the role they play within the team. In a study where a Learning Collaborative Program was initiated to help providers learn how to work in a team, they discovered the “teams needed opportunities to first learn about each other’s scope of practice and skill sets, develop a common language for communication, and understand how their scope of practice can be leveraged to improve team functioning and patient care” (Kotecha et al., 2015, p. 228). There is always another side to every story. There are some conditions that make teamwork in healthcare very difficult. Teamwork can be even more complicated when healthcare providers must make ethical decisions. The members of the interdisciplinary team have different personalities and perspectives that can affect teamwork. Hamric, Hanson, Tracy, and O’Grady (2014) postulate that “these differing positions can lead to creative and collaborative decision making or to a breakdown in communication and lack of problem solving” (p. 329). Other aspects identified by Lavoie-Tremblay et al. (2014) that can impact teamwork are psychological demands (of the job), social support (from colleagues and superiors), effort-reward balance, and healthcare providers’ experience with patients (p. 19). These aspects can impact teamwork in a positive or negative way. References Hamric, A. B., Hanson, C. M., Tracy, M. F., & O'Grady, E. T. (2014).

Week Three’s Business Writing Essay assignment Business Report: Poor Employee Performance Employees form a very important part of the organization because they directly contribute towards the performance of the organization (Weightman, 2008). The employees of New World Solution s Ltd (NWSL) have been found to be performing poorly because they rarely meet the objectives that have set for them. For this reason, the company is facing problems in the market because its competitiveness is very low. It has been unable to meet its targets and this is having a negative impact on its general performance. Keeping in mind that the employees are the driving force of any organization, their poor performance implies that the organization cannot perform as expected. It is, therefore, necessary for corrective measures to be put in place to ensure that employees are able to perform as expected of them by the organization as well as other stakeholders. The performance of employees is greatly affected by motivation and this implies that the organization should find out the different reasons as to why employees are not motivated and solve the problem . It is important for NWSL to take a look at the situation and reveal the different factors that are affecting the situation. This will reveal the problem and.

"Public Sector Pensions and Benefits" Please respond to the following: Review the author’s statement in Chapter 13: “New-generation human resource managers must add to their work portfolios how to help employees make appropriate decisions about participation, contribution, and even investment in their benefit packages so that they better enable themselves when they retire to maintain the standard of living they had when they were working.” Analyze your own retirement pension and benefits package, (or absence of a company-provided package) and offer three pieces of advice to Generation X-ers and Generation Y-ers regarding their retirement. Discuss at least two pros and two cons of allowing public employees to bargain collectively with their agencies about their retirement benefits (OPEB). (Refer to Table 13.4 Benefits Reform Dimensions in Chapter 13.) .
