As a former emergency department Registered Nurse for over seven.docxrossskuddershamus
As a former emergency department Registered Nurse for over seven years, I recall the most significant complaints were our long wait times. For some patients, the wait time could be substantial. Since emergency departments aren't on a first-come, first-serve basis, wait times were often unpredictable and lengthy. Patients are triaged based on their level of acuity. Long Emergency Department (ED) Length of stay (EDLOS) is associated with poor patient outcomes, which has led to the implementation of time targets designed to keep EDLOS below a specific limit. (Andersson et al., 2020, p. 2)
The method conducted for the concept analysis on EDLOS was the Walker and Avant approach. They were able to research a way of measuring the concept empirically by identifying all concepts used. (Andersson et al., 2020) Nurses can use the Walker and Avant approach when there are limited concepts available to a nurse to explain a problem area. The process of concept analysis for nurses first transpired in 1986. (McEwen & Wills, 2019) Walker and Avant specifically designed an approach to concept analysis to help graduate nurses explain methods to examine phenomena that interests them. (McEwen & Wills, 2019) The basic concept analysis approach by Walker and Avant is as follows; 1. Select a concept 2. Determine the aims or purposes of the analysis. 3. Identify all the concept possible uses possible. 4. Determine the defining attributes. 5. Identify the model case. 6. Identify any borderline, related contrary, invent, and illegitimate cases. 7. Identify the antecedents and consequences. 8. Define the empirical referents. (McEwen & Wills, 2019, Tables 3-2)
Authors Aim and Purpose
As a former Emergency Department Nurse, I find it fascinating how the author chose to do the concept analysis on this topic. According to the author, when patients are forced to stay for extended lengths of time in the emergency department, this leads to poor patient outcomes, overcrowding, and an overall inefficient organization. (Andersson et al., 2020) I recall when a febrile child was left in the Emergency Department for a long time. The child became so agitated their respiratory status worsened. The authors aim to clarify the meaning of long EDLOS and identify the root causes of an emergency department length of stay of more than six hours. (Andersson et al., 2020)
Defining Attributes on the Concept Examined
In the emergency department, length of stay (LOS) is a widely used measurement. Emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is defined as the time interval between a patient's arrival to the ED to the time the patient physically leaves the ED. The defining attributes discovered that waiting in a crowded emergency department was just that, waiting. Waiting was the most acknowledged attribute associated with EDLOS. (Andersson et al., 2020) If the patients didn't have to wait, they wouldn't be a problem/complaint and had no time targets.

Marketing
Good decision processes break down silos

and Eduardo Giménez
Marketers have always had to build brands, create demand, promote sales, and help their companies earn custom-ers’ loyalty. But today’s turbulent environment means they must play critical new roles: They must be strate-gists, allocating scarce resources to support company priorities and increasing return on investment. They must be technologists, tracking and capitalizing on the most useful of the sophisticated technologies that are flooding their field. And they must be scientists, because the future of their business may not look much like the

requires a new mind-set for all the parties concerned
and a shared commitment to rethinking how deci-
sions are made and work is done. To be sure, some
companies will find that they need to consider orga-
nizational changes as well. But the decision perspec-
tive helps them establish a firmer foundation for any
restructuring and drives progress in the interim.
Typically, three categories of marketing-related
decisions cross organizational seams:
Strategy and planning decisions involve aligning
marketing goals with business and customer strat-
egies and aligning the priorities of marketing and
sales. These decisions typically address questions
such as:
• On which customer segments and product lines
should we focus marketing support?
• What is the optimal level of spending, and what
is the right allocation among vehicles and channels?
• What is the testing and learning plan?
Execution decisions, the marketer’s traditional
purview, are more challenging than they used to
be. A proliferation of marketing vehicles and digital
technologies has vastly increased the complexity of
creating and delivering messages and offers in an en-
vironment where ever-faster execution and relent-
less budget pressure are the norm. These decisions
include issues such as:
• Which product features should we highlight in
our marketing efforts?
• What incentives should we give customers to
get them to try or buy our offerings?
• What is the right mix of traditional and digital
marketing vehicles?
Operations and infrastructure decisions cover
all the new capabilities that are increasingly impor-
tant to marketing’s success. They address questions
such as:
• How will new marketing technologies and tools
be evaluated, boug.

arugumentative essay on article given below
In “Parents Keep Child’s Gender Secret”, Jayme Poisson writes an article about the true story of a Canadian couple raising their child without ever revealing the child’s gender (keeping it secret from anyone not in their immediate family). This has incited many strong reactions from readers and locals alike. Poisson’s piece allows us to form our own opinions about this subject and forces us to examine why we consider gender so important to the development of a child.
Kenji Yoshino writes about the term covering. ‘Covering’, as Yoshino uses it, means to ‘tone down a disfavored identity to fit into the mainstream’ (552), and Yoshino argues that though Americans value the idea of the melting pot as a model for our culture, that ideal can have unintended negative consequences. Despite our avowed appreciation for multiculturalism, the unstated public expectation is still for people of all genders, sexual orientations and races to conform to rigid expectations.
Prompt:
Yoshino discusses the pressures we face to “cover”. Apply this concept and cross-reference Poisson’s piece and the decision Storm’s parents have made to keep their child’s gender a secret. In what ways is it a strategy to resist covering? Is it an effective one? Is some measure of covering necessary in our society? Make an argument about how cultural expectations and individual (or parental) choices should affect or does affect gender identity.
Essay Guidelines:
Quote the assigned readings to support your answer. Do not do additional research. Be sure to demonstrate your comprehension of the pieces by quoting and discussing relevant passages to support your thesis. Essays that draw support solely upon personal experience will not receive a passing grade. Additionally, make sure that you are not merely summarizing the readings

As a former emergency department Registered Nurse for over seven.docxrossskuddershamus
As a former emergency department Registered Nurse for over seven years, I recall the most significant complaints were our long wait times. For some patients, the wait time could be substantial. Since emergency departments aren't on a first-come, first-serve basis, wait times were often unpredictable and lengthy. Patients are triaged based on their level of acuity. Long Emergency Department (ED) Length of stay (EDLOS) is associated with poor patient outcomes, which has led to the implementation of time targets designed to keep EDLOS below a specific limit. (Andersson et al., 2020, p. 2)
The method conducted for the concept analysis on EDLOS was the Walker and Avant approach. They were able to research a way of measuring the concept empirically by identifying all concepts used. (Andersson et al., 2020) Nurses can use the Walker and Avant approach when there are limited concepts available to a nurse to explain a problem area. The process of concept analysis for nurses first transpired in 1986. (McEwen & Wills, 2019) Walker and Avant specifically designed an approach to concept analysis to help graduate nurses explain methods to examine phenomena that interests them. (McEwen & Wills, 2019) The basic concept analysis approach by Walker and Avant is as follows; 1. Select a concept 2. Determine the aims or purposes of the analysis. 3. Identify all the concept possible uses possible. 4. Determine the defining attributes. 5. Identify the model case. 6. Identify any borderline, related contrary, invent, and illegitimate cases. 7. Identify the antecedents and consequences. 8. Define the empirical referents. (McEwen & Wills, 2019, Tables 3-2)
Authors Aim and Purpose
As a former Emergency Department Nurse, I find it fascinating how the author chose to do the concept analysis on this topic. According to the author, when patients are forced to stay for extended lengths of time in the emergency department, this leads to poor patient outcomes, overcrowding, and an overall inefficient organization. (Andersson et al., 2020) I recall when a febrile child was left in the Emergency Department for a long time. The child became so agitated their respiratory status worsened. The authors aim to clarify the meaning of long EDLOS and identify the root causes of an emergency department length of stay of more than six hours. (Andersson et al., 2020)
Defining Attributes on the Concept Examined
In the emergency department, length of stay (LOS) is a widely used measurement. Emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is defined as the time interval between a patient's arrival to the ED to the time the patient physically leaves the ED. The defining attributes discovered that waiting in a crowded emergency department was just that, waiting. Waiting was the most acknowledged attribute associated with EDLOS. (Andersson et al., 2020) If the patients didn't have to wait, they wouldn't be a problem/complaint and had no time targets.

Marketing
Good decision processes break down silos
and improve performance. by Aditya Joshi
and Eduardo Giménez
Marketers have always had to build brands, create demand, promote sales, and help their companies earn custom-ers’ loyalty. But today’s turbulent environment means they must play critical new roles: They must be strate-gists, allocating scarce resources to support company priorities and increasing return on investment. They must be technologists, tracking and capitalizing on the most useful of the sophisticated technologies that are flooding their field. And they must be scientists, because the future of their business may not look much like the

requires a new mind-set for all the parties concerned
and a shared commitment to rethinking how deci-
sions are made and work is done. To be sure, some
companies will find that they need to consider orga-
nizational changes as well. But the decision perspec-
tive helps them establish a firmer foundation for any
restructuring and drives progress in the interim.
Typically, three categories of marketing-related
decisions cross organizational seams:
Strategy and planning decisions involve aligning
marketing goals with business and customer strat-
egies and aligning the priorities of marketing and
sales. These decisions typically address questions
such as:
• On which customer segments and product lines
should we focus marketing support?
• What is the optimal level of spending, and what
is the right allocation among vehicles and channels?
• What is the testing and learning plan?
Execution decisions, the marketer’s traditional
purview, are more challenging than they used to
be. A proliferation of marketing vehicles and digital
technologies has vastly increased the complexity of
creating and delivering messages and offers in an en-
vironment where ever-faster execution and relent-
less budget pressure are the norm. These decisions
include issues such as:
• Which product features should we highlight in
our marketing efforts?
• What incentives should we give customers to
get them to try or buy our offerings?
• What is the right mix of traditional and digital
marketing vehicles?
Operations and infrastructure decisions cover
all the new capabilities that are increasingly impor-
tant to marketing’s success. They address questions
such as:

arugumentative essay on article given below
In “Parents Keep Child’s Gender Secret”, Jayme Poisson writes an article about the true story of a Canadian couple raising their child without ever revealing the child’s gender (keeping it secret from anyone not in their immediate family). This has incited many strong reactions from readers and locals alike. Poisson’s piece allows us to form our own opinions about this subject and forces us to examine why we consider gender so important to the development of a child.
Kenji Yoshino writes about the term covering. ‘Covering’, as Yoshino uses it, means to ‘tone down a disfavored identity to fit into the mainstream’ (552), and Yoshino argues that though Americans value the idea of the melting pot as a model for our culture, that ideal can have unintended negative consequences. Despite our avowed appreciation for multiculturalism, the unstated public expectation is still for people of all genders, sexual orientations and races to conform to rigid expectations.
Prompt:
Yoshino discusses the pressures we face to “cover”. Apply this concept and cross-reference Poisson’s piece and the decision Storm’s parents have made to keep their child’s gender a secret. In what ways is it a strategy to resist covering? Is it an effective one? Is some measure of covering necessary in our society? Make an argument about how cultural expectations and individual (or parental) choices should affect or does affect gender identity.
Essay Guidelines:
Quote the assigned readings to support your answer. Do not do additional research. Be sure to demonstrate your comprehension of the pieces by quoting and discussing relevant passages to support your thesis. Essays that draw support solely upon personal experience will not receive a passing grade. Additionally, make sure that you are not merely summarizing the readings

Circling Round Vitruvius, Linear Perspective, and the
Design of Roman Wall Painting

Abstract: Many scholars believe that linear perspective existed in classical antiquity, but a fresh
examination of two key texts in Vitruvius shows that 1.2.2 is about modularity and symmetria,
while 7.Pr.11 describes shading (skiagraphia). Moreover, these new interpretations are firmly based on
the classical understanding of optics and the history of painting (e.g., Pliny the Elder). A third text
(Philostratus, Imagines 1.4.2) suggests that the design of Roman wall painting depends on concentric
circles. Philostratus’ system is then used to successfully make facsimiles of five walls, representing
Styles II, III, and IV of Roman wall painting. Hence, linear perspective and its relatives, such as
Panofsky’s vanishing vertical axis, should not be imposed retrospectively where they never existed.
Keywords: linear perspective; skenographia; skiagraphia; Greek and Roman painting; Roman fresco;
Vitruvius; Philostratus
Two systems for designing Pompeian wall paintings have dominated modern scholarship: a
one- or center-point perspective and a vanishing vertical axis.1 Neither method works for all the
variations seen on the walls of Styles II–IV. The vanishing vertical axis is considered a precursor of
linear perspective, whereas center-point construction is a form of linear perspective. Many scholars
believe that linear perspective was invented by the Greeks, only to be forgotten during the Middle
Ages and “reinvented” in the Renaissance.2 In contrast, I propose that linear perspective was not
known in any form in antiquity but, rather, was an invention of the Renaissance, which also created its
putative ancient pedigree.
1. Background
1.1. Definitions
First, it is important to define four key terms.
“Perspective” applies loosely to a wide range of systems that convert a three-dimensional scene
to two dimensions. Most scholars, however, mean “linear perspective” when they use the unqualified
term “perspective”. No standard definition exists for linear perspective, but only linear perspective
obeys the rules of projective geometry. Formal definitions refer to “station points” (the point or
place for the “eye” of the “viewer” and/or “artist”), vanishing points, horizon lines, and picture
planes, among other aspects. Horizontal lines converge to the “center point” or, in the case of
1 This topic is remarkably complex with a massive bibliography. Small (2013) provides a reasonable summary of the
scholarship to its date of publication. Since then, I have realized that the standard interpretations of key texts and objects
needs to be totally rethought. This artic.

RESUMO
Introdução: A violência no local de trabalho é um dos principais fatores de risco no mundo do trabalho. Os trabalhadores da saúde
apresentam um risco superior. O nosso estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a violência física e verbal num hospital público e definir
estratégias de prevenção e vigilância em saúde ocupacional.
Material e Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal monocêntrico, conduzido num hospital público em Lisboa com trabalhadores
da saúde. Foi realizado um inquérito qualitativo com entrevistas em profundidade a seis trabalhadores e um inquérito quantitativo
com questionários a 32 trabalhadores. Aceitou-se um nível de significância de 5% na avaliação das diferenças estatísticas. O teste de
Mann-Whitney e o teste exato de Fisher foram usados para calcular os valores de p.
Resultados: Os principais resultados são: (1) 41 episódios reportados na fase quantitativa; (2) 5/21 [23,81%] vítimas notificaram o in-
cidente; (3) 18/21 [85.71%] vítimas reportaram estados de hipervigilância permanente; (4) 22/28 [78,57%] participantes não conheciam
ou conheciam mal os procedimentos de notificação; (5) 24/28 [85,71%] consideravam possível minimizar o problema.
Discussão: A violência é favorecida pelo acesso livre às zonas de trabalho, ausência de agentes de segurança e polícia ou falta da
respetiva intervenção. A baixa notificação contribui para a ausência de medidas organizacionais. O estado de hipervigilância relatado
reflete o efeito prejudicial da exposição a fontes de stress e ameaça.
Conclusão: A violência no local de trabalho é um fator de risco relevante, com impacto negativo na saúde dos trabalhadores e merece
uma abordagem individualizada no âmbito da saúde ocupacional, cujas áreas e estratégias prioritárias foram definidas neste estudo.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

ANNUAL REPORT PROJECTCurricular IssuesThis course needs to .docx
1. ANNUAL REPORT PROJECT
Curricular Issues:
This course needs to articulate (transfer) to a four-year college
or university. For that reason we work hard to meet university
requirements in our courses. Courses in the 200 level (BUS221)
have writing across the curriculum requirements. Therefore we
do require a paper in this course. I will do my best to make it
as easy for you as possible. Also the universities require our
business and accounting courses take a hard look at interpreting
financial statements. For this reason I have assigned problems
or exercises throughout the semester that deal with this. In
Chapter 13 you will learn all about Financial Statement
Analysis and the homework for that chapter will be to prepare a
financial analysis on Research in Motion. It is important to
note that at the very end of each chapter, and before the
Demonstration Problem for the chapter, you will find a Decision
Analysis section. This will help you a great deal in
understanding how to complete your Annual Report’s financial
analysis.
I strongly advise that you print out the files and information
found in the Annual Report section under Assignments in your
Angel Course. Then, as you work through the individual
chapters you can complete the activities in the final project
rather than waiting until the end of the course. The information
will be more meaningful then. There is no reason to hold off on
starting this project.
Appendix A, beginning on page A-1 in the back of the text,
contains financial statements for four companies: Research in
Motion, Apple, Palm, and Nokia. This semester you are
required to report on Research in Motion. I choose this because
the text has included an entire copy of their Financial Report
2. rather than just the financial statements as the other three
companies have. You can start the report now and also the
financial statement ratio analysis. The Common-size
Comparative financial statement analysis will come at the end
of the semester as a Chapter 13 assignment. As we work
through each chapter and learn to calculate and analyze the
ratios that particular chapter teaches you can complete the ratio
calculations for Research in Motion. The work sheet for this
can be found in this Annual Report folder. I am giving you all
the necessary tools for the final project early on so there is no
reason to procrastinate.
As I mentioned in the Announcement Section of the course, you
will find a Decision Analysis section at the end of each chapter
just before the demonstration problem. Here you will find how
to calculate the ratios and a discussion of the ratios that pertain
to that chapter (how to analyze the ratio.) If you complete this
ratio analysis as you move throughout the text rather than
waiting for the end of the course, it will have more meaning to
you.
For the report itself you will need to research three current
periodicals on your company besides the company’s annual
report found here in the text. “Current” in business is
considered three years. However, it depends on the subject of
your paper. For example, it would be reasonable to go back
further if your topic was the company’s growth over “x” amount
of years, how the company got started, etc. You will use this
information for bullet 4 below.
A business report is written in very concise language. It helps
to have paragraph headings so the information can be easily
found by the reader. I recommend you use the bulleted sections
below for your headings and bullet the items when possible for
an easier read (especially in section I – Introduction and
Summary.)
Information to be included in your report: For the most part,
3. most of this information should be able to be found in the
annual report, business periodicals, or on the company’s
website.
· Introduction and Summary – Identify your company
Name and location of home office
CEO
Last Fiscal Year
Principle Products
Main geographic area
Name of independent auditors
Most recent price of company stock and dividend per share
· Industry Situation and Company Plans
4. Describe the industry and its outlook
Summarize the company’s plans
· Accounting Policies
What are the significant accounting policies relating to revenue
recognition
Cash, short-term investments, merchandise inventory, and
property/equipment.
· Something interesting you researched about the company.
(The paragraph heading for this would depend on the interesting
topic you are reporting on.) The report should be on something
interesting you researched about the company such as its
products, how it got started and grew, personnel aspects about
5. the company, community involvement, international holdings,
etc. and not the financial status of the company. You will be
reporting on that in the financial analysis that you will be
doing.
· Personal evaluation of your findings
· Recap.
Paper format:
1. The paper needs to be 1500 words which equates to 6 pages
double spaced with a two inch top margin on the first page and
one inch top margins on the subsequent pages. There should be
one inch side and bottom margins on all pages. This should not
be difficult if you include all the required information found
above.
2. The paper should contain a cover page (not included in the
required 6 pages.). This would be a standard report cover page
including the name of the paper, your name, the class the paper
is prepared for, and date
3. Use an endnote page to reference periodicals. I won’t require
a bibliography or formal referencing throughout the report.
4. It goes without saying the report should be concise, well
organized, and free of spelling and grammatical errors. (Unlike
a paper written for an English course, business reports eliminate
unnecessary words.) They use shorter sentence structures and
do not have run-on sentences. Keep it simple but specific.
Business people don’t have time to read lengthy reports with a
lot of adverbs and adjectives to “spice” it up.
Using your company to do chapter 13 homework at the end of
the semester
This is not included in the required 6 pages of the report. The
financial statement analysis is a separate part of the report.
(Refer to grading sheet included in the annual report folder.) So
that I don’t have to calculate ratios, common size, and trend
6. analysis’ for a lot of different time periods I ask that you use
the financial statements for Research in Motion that are found
in Appendix A in the text. This is an exercise focusing on the
“how to” not using the most up-to-date financial information.
Prepare a common-size/comparative Balance Sheet and a
Comparative Income Statement. The format for them can be
found in Chapter 13 and the financial statements for Research in
Motion can be found in Appendix A. Complete a brief
paragraph for each statement and discuss pertinent information
you observed regarding the accounts.
Prepare a Ratio Analysis that includes:
Liquidity Ratios
Working capital
Current ratio
Acid test ratio if possible
Receivable turnover
Average days’ sales uncollected
7. Inventory turnover
Average days inventory on hand
Profitability ratios
Profit margin
Asset turnover
Return on assets
Debt to equity
Return on equity
Market ratios
Price earnings ratio
8. Dividend yield
These ratios and their descriptions can be found in the related
chapters of your text and inside the back cover of the text.
Prepare a brief explanation (three paragraphs one covering each
group of ratios: Liquidity, Profitability, and Market) about the
financial situation of the company, the performance of stock
over this semester, and your recommendations as to the
feasibility of purchasing the stock. Also make a
recommendation as to what you think the company needs to do
to promote better efficiency and effectiveness or maintain its
current performance level.
For your reference, you might want to print out the grading
sheet I will use to grade the final. Make sure that everything on
the grading sheet is covered when you turn in the paper and the
analysis.
Enjoy!
Annual Report Project Grading Sheet:
Students name:
Business people like to find information in a report easily.
Business reports typically organize the information in a
structured format using paragraph headings, topic headings,
bullets, etc. I recommend that you use the individual grading
sections included here as paragraph headings or topic headings
for your report and bullet the information for example in the
Introduction Summary or other areas where it makes sense.

Comparative Ratio Analysis
These are the ratios I want you to do and the format I want them
completed in. If you have problems using this form please feel
free to create your own. Remember to refer to the Decision
Analysis in each chapter to help you complete the analysis
portion of the sheet. Also, remember the accounts that are
included in each ratio and address how they may have changed
from year to year especially if the ratio has changed
substantially. Then make recommendations as to how managers
might address any issues they might find.
This ratio analysis is grouped into three sections: Liquidity
Ratios, Profitability Ratios, and Market Ratios. Unlike the
assignments in the individual chapters, for this assignment you
will analyze the company from these three perspectives taking
into account all the ratios included in that each particular group.
In the real world you would compare these ratios to a market
standard found in the RMA or another publication however,
access to these on-line cost money. In the classroom we used
the RMA from our campus libraries. So the best we can do
here is compare one year to the next.
This is a sophomore level college class and the assignment is
worth 100 Points so you will be expected to put some effort into
this analysis. The Financial Statement Analysis that goes with
this assignment can be found in another file called Stmt
Analysis File. Together they will be worth 100 Points. You
might want to complete that file first as it may provide some
insight into what is going in the accounts for this ratio analysis.
