ECO 201 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
The purpose of this milestone is for students to explore the various costs their firm faces and to describe their firm’s market. Using the concepts and tools
developed in Modules Four and Five, students will analyze the fixed and variable costs of their firm, how those costs have changed over time, and how those
changes have impacted their firm’s overall health and sustainability. In analyzing their firm’s market, students will detail the extent of their firm’s market power
and their firm’s ability to influence the market. Students will also describe major trends in the market, specifically concerning new products, technologies, and
new entrants. Students can further determine the future health of their firm to inform their final recommendations by examining their firm’s place within the
market.
Prompt: Submit a draft of the Costs of Production (Section IV), Overall Market (Section V), and Recommendation (Section VI) of your research paper, including
all critical elements listed below. You will review your firm’s financial reports and other relevant data sources to collect and analyze cost information for your firm
over the past five or so years. Using real data and the economic tools developed in Module Four, you will analyze your firm’s profitability and how costs impact its
growth. Additionally, you will find data on your firm’s competitors in order to detail your firm’s place within the market currently and over the past five or so
years. Lastly, you will develop a recommendation for how the firm can manage its future production.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Examine the costs of production for your firm.
a) Analyze the various costs a firm faces, their trends over time, and how they have impacted your firm’s profitability.

BUS630 Managerial Accounting -->Complete Course 2015 Syllabus, Ashford University BUS630
ASHFORD BUS 630 Week 1 DQ 1 Ethics in Cost Control
Ethics in Cost Control
. (Exercise 1-9) Zoya Arbiser, regional manager of Gold Medal Sports Shops, is reviewing the results of 15 stores in her region. Store managers are moved annually. Each store manager's income is very dependent on the direct contribution margin of that store. For the past year, Store 9 has been managed by a person who has operated several other profitable stores in recent years and is about to be promoted to a larger store. Zoya notices several items that bother her.
Store 9 has almost no personnel training expenses relative to other stores.
Store 9 has stopped participating in numerous community events that gave the store significant visibility but did incur substantial expenses.
Store 6, where this store manager worked the prior year, has had a severe drop in profits due to higher operating expenses.
The advertising budget was spent almost entirely in the first four months of the year, with almost nothing spent in the last several months.
Discuss a possible negative managerial scenario that the regional manager may be sensing. Might the manager of Store 9 be an exceptional manager? What are the ethical implications of the scenario? What is the regional manager’s ethical responsibility in this scenario? Explain and support your position with evidence from the text. Your initial post should be 200 to 250 words.
ASHFORD BUS 630 Week 1 DQ 2 Fixed and Variable Costs
Fixed and Variable Costs
. (Chapter 1 Discussion Question 9(a)) Controller, Judy Koch, in a recent speech said, "I rarely see a real variable cost or a truly fixed cost." What did she mean? Include in your response an explanation of the difference in behavior of variable and fixed cost, including an example to illustrate your explanation. Your initial post should be 200 to 250 words.
ASHFORD BUS 630 Week 2 DQ 1 Product Costs
Product Costs
. In Chapter 3, you were introduced to three types of costs associated with a manufactured product – direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Explain how these costs are associated with the manufactured product. Why are some of these costs allocated to the product through costing methods such as job order costing or process costing?
As part of your response, be sure to provide a specific example of a company’s manufacturing costs. Your initial post should be 200-250 words and your example should be properly cited according to APA as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
ASHFORD BUS 630 Week 2 DQ 2 Job Order Costing vs. Proess Costing
Job Order Costing vs. Process Costing
. Explain the similarities and differences between job order costing and process costing. In your explanation, provide examples of when job order costing and process costing would be most appropriate. Your initial post should be 200 to 250 words.
ASHFORD BUS 630 Week 2 Assignment Auerbach Enterp.
The regional manager of a sports shop chain notices some concerning patterns with Store 9's expenses and profits. Specifically, Store 9 has very low training costs, no longer participates in community events that increased visibility but had high costs, and the prior year's store saw a large drop in profits after its manager transferred to Store 9. The manager may be intentionally cutting costs in problematic ways to boost short-term profits. The regional manager needs to investigate further to determine if ethics violations occurred.

The document discusses a case study involving the regional manager of Gold Medal Sports Shops reviewing the performance of 15 stores. The regional manager notices several issues with Store 9 that raise ethical concerns. Specifically, Store 9 has unusually low training expenses, no longer participates in community events, and the prior store manager saw a drop in profits after managing Store 9.

Student Response #1 – Shannon
During the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, more than 13,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were killed because of their religious beliefs. Based on the information in our textbook and any other research you might do, who do you think was most responsible for the religious tensions getting out of control and erupting into widespread bloodshed? Why?
Based on the information in our text books, I believe that both the Catholics and the Calvinists brought the religious tensions on themselves. With the birth of new religions on the rise there then became a power struggle among the religions. The Protestant Reformation that began set the way for religious extremism. " The agreement helped maintain a relative calm in the lands of the Holy Roman Empire by granting each ruler the right to determine the religion of his territory" (Hunt, p483) This opened the doors for many religious disputes to follow as the years went on. Each war started as a religious dispute but went on to reveal other motives, like political gains, power and greed. As time went on and religion began to spread and more and more people began to covert, there became major power struggles. When the bloodshed began with the Protestants and the Catholics not too much was solved after that, during the bloodshed, Catholic mobs killed over 3000 Huguenots in Paris. These wars about religion have simply paved the way through the years for more conflict regarding religion. I can t just blame one party and pick it to be responsible , i think all parties played a role in the tension caused by religion, each person wanted to believe in what they believed in and didn’t feel like it should have to be mandated.

A researcher plans a study in which a crucial step is offering participants a food reward. It is important that the three food rewards be equal in appeal. Thus, a prestudy was designed in which participants were asked which of the rewards they preferred. Of the 60 participants, 16 preferred cupcakes, 26 preferred candy bars, and 18 favored dried apricots. Do these scores suggest that the different foods are differentially preferred by people in general? (Use the .05 significance level.)

You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction would be recommended as part of your list.

Ethics in Cost Control
. (Exercise 1-9) Zoya Arbiser, regional manager of Gold Medal Sports Shops, is reviewing the results of 15 stores in her region. Store managers are moved annually. Each store manager's income is very dependent on the direct contribution margin of that store. For the past year, Store 9 has been managed by a person who has operated several other profitable stores in recent years and is about to be promoted to a larger store. Zoya notices several items that bother her.
Store 9 has almost no personnel training expenses relative to other stores.
Store 9 has stopped participating in numerous community events that gave the store significant visibility but did incur substantial expenses.
Store 6, where this store manager worked the prior year, has had a severe drop in profits due to higher operating expenses.
The advertising budget was spent almost entirely in the first four months of the year, with almost nothing spent in the last several months.
Discuss a possible negative managerial scenario that the regional manager may be sensing. Might the manager of Store 9 be an exceptional manager? What are the ethical implications of the scenario? What is the regional manager’s ethical responsibility in this scenario? Explain and support your position with evidence from the text. Your initial post should be 200 to 250 words.

1. A medieval German proverb states: "the city air will set you free." What was "the city air" like in many medieval towns? Using what you learned from the readings, do you agree with the proverb? Why or why not?
2. During the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, more than 13,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were killed because of their religious beliefs. Based on the information in our textbook and any other research you might do, who do you think was most responsible for the religious tensions getting out of control and erupting into widespread bloodshed? Why?
3. People rarely make decisions based on one single factor. In the quest to discover new lands, establish trade routes and colonize, what do you think motivated the explorers the most? Be sure to discuss at least one specific explorer in your post.
Student Response #1 – Shannon
During the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, more than 13,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were killed because of their religious beliefs. Based on the information in our textbook and any other research you might do, who do you think was most responsible for the religious tensions getting out of control and erupting into widespread bloodshed? Why?
Based on the information in our text books, I believe that both the Catholics and the Calvinists brought the religious tensions on themselves. With the birth of new religions on the rise there then became a power struggle among the religions. The Protestant Reformation that began set the way for religious extremism. " The agreement helped maintain a relative calm in the lands of the Holy Roman Empire by granting each ruler the right to determine the religion of his territory" (Hunt, p483) This opened the doors for many religious disputes to follow as the years went on. Each war started as a religious dispute but went on to reveal other motives, like political gains, power and greed. As time went on and religion began to spread and more and more people began to covert, there became major power struggles. When the bloodshed began with the Protestants and the Catholics not too much was solved after that, during the bloodshed, Catholic mobs killed over 3000 Huguenots in Paris. These wars about religion have simply paved the way through the years for more conflict regarding religion. I can t just blame one party and pick it to be responsible , i think all parties played a role in the tension caused by religion, each person wanted to believe in what they believed in and didn’t feel like it should have to be mandated.

Wendy was addicted to her morning cup of coffee. She had one cup be.docxwendolynhalbert
Wendy was addicted to her morning cup of coffee. She had one cup before leaving the house and usually picked up another cup from the coffee shop on her way to the office. This morning, the line at the coffee shop was too long; therefore, Wendy decided to get a cup of coffee from the vending machine at work. The coffee was so hot that Wendy dropped it all over herself and was badly burned. Wendy filed suit against the vending company, the manufacturer of the vending machine, the owner of the building and the distributor of the coffee. What rights does Wendy have? Explain Wendy’s case against each party and possible defenses by each defendant.

A researcher plans a study in which a crucial step is offering participants a food reward. It is important that the three food rewards be equal in appeal. Thus, a prestudy was designed in which participants were asked which of the rewards they preferred. Of the 60 participants, 16 preferred cupcakes, 26 preferred candy bars, and 18 favored dried apricots. Do these scores suggest that the different foods are differentially preferred by people in general? (Use the .05 significance level.)

The governing board of Religious hired a consulting company to evaluate its strategic performance. As part of the consultant’s evaluation, several leaders of Religious’ units were asked their perspective of the organization’s performance.
You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction would be recommended as part of your list. Because you know there were about two dozen other interviews, you decide you should rank your issues in importance, to make sure the most critical are discussed.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Describe the five (5) important elements of the governing board’ s agenda for areas of improvement in core functions.
Many organizations now use a balanced scorecard or multiple dimensions of performance measurement, such as productivity, profit, market trends, quality, patient satisfaction, and worker satisfaction.

Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in media over the years (includes: staging news, re-creations, selective editing and fictional methods). Give some background for context and answer; why, in your opinion is this an example of misrepresentation and why is it egregious? Provide the link to the example.
Additionally for the Week 8 discussion, consider media bias. Both conservative and liberal sides claim that there is media bias (to the other side of their beliefs) yet, it is evident that there is bias on both sides. It is no secret that the traditional views of the following 3 media outlets are as follows: Fox News--Conservative/Right, MSNBC--Liberal/Left, CNN--Moderate. A) Track a relatively current news story and report to the class the way the 3 media outlets presented the story. Were there surprises to you in your findings? B) Also pick one additional media outlet of your choice (perhaps NPR, AL JAZEERA , or BBC) and look at their perspective of the same story. Please comment on at least 3 of your classmates' postings with questions or thoughtful, respectful, thorough responses.

Week 7 Exercise Prosocial BehaviorMuch of what we tend to focus.docxwendolynhalbert
Week 7 Exercise: Prosocial Behavior
Much of what we tend to focus on when we study social psychology are topics that often have a negative connotation such as conformity, prejudice, aggression or obedience. A huge component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and helping others. For this activity, you will focus on this more uplifting aspect of social psychology. Topics that fall under the area of prosocial behavior include altruism, helping, bystander intervention, empathy, and compassion, among others.
For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself "is there a way I might help another here?" Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.
At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to engage in prosocial behavior outside of your home due to COVID-19 restrictions/precautions, you are encouraged to engage in such behaviors with your family/people with whom you are sheltering.
You may also engage in prosocial behavior with others virtually or through other means (e.g., through video calls, emails, etc...). This assignment will be more meaningful if you are able to engage in-person with acquaintances or strangers, but you can still find ways to make a significant difference to others even if quarantined or sheltering in place.
In a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting title or reference slides:
Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors you engaged in, others' reactions to these behaviors, and your assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or anything else of note you experienced.
Review what you have learned about human behavior in social settings this week in your readings. Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research. Integrate at least two academic sources (your assigned readings/resources can comprise one of these sources), citing any references used in APA format.
Describe any new insights you gained through this exper.

Week Lecture - Evaluating the Quality of Financial ReportsThe coll.docxwendolynhalbert
Week Lecture - Evaluating the Quality of Financial Reports
The collapse of Enron in the early 2000s, which was a result of massive financial manipulation, gave rise to a new era of financial reporting supervision with the establishment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002. The Act required all executives to give certified and accurate financial information. Various mechanisms were put in place to reduce financial accounting irregularities (Cunningham, 2005). Managers are therefore required to have a clear understanding of the regulations put in place and the bodies which enforce them in order to conform with them accordingly.
Issuance of financial reports and sale of securities to the public is monitored by such organizations as:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has developed the financial accounting standards to be used in the U.S. since 1973. Its function is to oversee the preparation of financial reports by non-governmental entities. FASB ensures that financial statements contain information relevant for sound decision making. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been charged with the statutory authority of establishing reporting standards for U.S. public companies. Although it does not develop the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), it has power to monitor financial reporting. The SEC seeks its authority from three security laws: The Securities Act of 1933 (SEC, 2012b), The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (SEC, 2012c), The Investment Company Act of 1940 (SEC, 2012a), The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SEC, 2005), and The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (SEC, 2014).
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA) regulates securities firms conducting business with the public in the U.S. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) develops and Publishes International Financial Reporting Standards through the help of its 15-full time members from different countries working with stakeholders all over the world.
The usefulness of financial reports to readers depends on report quality. The conceptual framework for financial reporting categorizes qualitative characteristics of financial reports into two broad categories: fundamental qualitative characteristics, which include relevance and faithful representation, and enhancing qualitative characteristics, which make financial reports more useful and include comparability, timeliness, verifiability, and understandability. Presentation of financial reporting is limited by materiality and cost constraints. There exist differences in U.S. reporting requirements and the international requirements, although efforts have been undertaken to congregate the U.S. GAAP rules with the international financial reporting rules (Oxford Analytica, 2009). Differences in U.S. reporting req.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

N/A
Discuss the DEP/GARD Supply chain. What stages are adding
value? What stages are not?
The DEP/GARD supply chain is as follows;
· DEP receives a given amount of the materials they need to
produce polymers
· Compounds needed to manufacture polymers are supplied in a
consistent seven day period by DEP
· The manufacturing department is in an interdependent
relationship with the procurement, marketing and sales
departments. Orders are received via phone or fax, and recorded
in an information system. Using this system, most customers
receive their orders within a period of six to eight days.
· Once the products are manufactured, they are stored in a
warehouse strategically located close to the manufacturers.
· At the warehouse the inventory is inspected and prepared for
delivery. It takes about 3 to 6 for orders to leave the warehouse
from the time they were received from the manufacturer.
· DEP fleet trucks deliver orders to customers within a 200 mile
radius twice a week. Customers outside this radius receive their
deliveries via a common carrier within a period of not more
than six days of delivery time.
Stages that add value;
· The seven-day supply period maintained by DEP and the
company’s flexibility towards the type and quantity of polymers
they make.
· The information system is quite useful in connecting all
departments to avoid misinterpretations and confusion as all
department receive the same information via the information
system.
· The verification process taking place in the warehouse to
match orders to clients in terms of quantity and type.
10. · (Consider also the value-added with manufacturing and DEP
packaging)
Stages that do not add value;
· The time and energy used to move finished product from one
warehouse to another for verification. This is a waste of
resources and increase the period it takes to deliver products.
· Orders and paperwork should be kept in a common place to
save on time wasted unsorting orders.
· (Consider also materials inventory and receiving)
Using the primary DEP suppliers (60 percent of business), what
is the minimum performance cycle for the supply chain
diagrammed above? What is the maximum?
Based on the size and scope of the delivery challenges faced,
the minimum performance cycle for the supply chain using
primary DEP suppliers (60 percent of the business) is eight days
while the maximum is twenty-five days.
Can the performance cycle be improved through the use of the
twenty five percent and fifteen percent suppliers? What trade-
offs must be made to use these suppliers?
Yes, performance cycles can be improved through the use of 25
percent and 15 percent suppliers. However, the new suppliers
would need to be dependable and strict in adherence to time
because small deviations very costly. However, in the long run
a higher cost for consistency would be worth it as the returns
would increase.
If you were Tom Lippert, what changes would you make in
DEP's operation? Why? What problems do you foresee as you
try to implement these changes?
First and foremost, I would minimize on the current wastage
experienced in operation. I would then keep a close look on the
industry I operate it to determine current trends and operations
of competitors. As a supplier of product, it is paramount that I
stay informed about my competition. These changes are
necessary to ensure GARD operates at lower overhead costs and
11. attract more business. When it comes to problems I foresee in
this situation of change, I think the leadership of the company
might be conflicted about these changes. Some would be
opposed as these changes as they may appear to be outside
GARD's normal activities and may represent a shift in the
company’s role as industry leader. Their support however would
be crucial. I would therefore develop, in writing, the company’s
shortcomings in relation to the old system and the benefits of
implementing the new structure.
Assuming you can make the changes, mentioned in question 4,
how would you ‘sell Richard Binish on DEP's next bid?’ what
will likely be ‘qualifying criteria’ and ‘order winning criteria?’
will these changes over time? What does this say about supply
chain management?
If I could make the changes suggested, I would sell the idea on
Richard Binish by pointing out to him that DEP will have
properly organized its production and shipping activities to
ensure reliable production and efficient supply of product which
will attract more clients and increase sales while at the same
time offer competitive rates in the market because of cost
cutting.

Oregon Medical Marijuana History
On Nov. 3, 1998, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 67.
The result of the "yes" vote (55%) allowed medical use of
marijuana in Oregon within specified limits. It also established
a state-controlled permit system. In December 1998, the Oregon
Legislature passed Measure 67 into law.
The law, known as the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (Oregon
Revised Statutes 475.300 - ORS 475.346), provides legal
protections for qualified patients; requires a physician-written
statement of the patient’s qualifying debilitating medical
condition; allows for a caregiver to provide assistance; and
mandates an Oregon Health Authority registration system.
In May 1999, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP)
was created to administer the registration program under the
Oregon Medical Marijuana Act. The Oregon Medical Marijuana
Program is totally fee-supported. No state funds are used to
support the program.
20. Legal Protection
· The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) protects medical
marijuana users in the state of Oregon who comply with its
requirements from criminal prosecution for production,
possession, or delivery of marijuana.
· The OMMA neither protects marijuana plants from seizure nor
individuals from prosecution if the federal government chooses
to take action against patients, caregivers or growers under the
federal Controlled Substances Act.
· An Oregon Medical Marijuana card protects cardholders only
within the state of Oregon.
· Oregon cardholders are only protected in another state if that
state legally accepts Oregon’s medical marijuana cards. Because
medical marijuana programs vary by state, you may want to
contact the state to which you are traveling for information on
its laws.
· An Oregon cardholder acts at his or her own risk when
possessing, producing or delivering medical marijuana in
another state without a medical marijuana card from that state.
· Nothing in the OMMA specifically addresses whether or not
you can be evicted or terminated from employment because you
are a cardholder. It is up to you to decide whether or not to tell
your landlord or employer that you are a cardholder.
· If you have questions about these important issues, consult
with an attorney.
Confidentiality
· The OMMP will only communicate directly with the patient.
· All written requests to release information about a patient
must be signed and dated by the patient.
· The OMMP will not accept written or verbal requests for
information from a caregiver, grower, or any other person or
agency without the patient’s written permission.
· The names and addresses of OMMP participants are
confidential and not subject to public disclosure.
· Law enforcement personnel may contact the OMMP only to
21. verify whether an individual is a patient, caregiver or grower or
that a location is a registered growsite address.
· The OMMP will verify for law enforcement whether the
patient, caregiver, grower, or growsite address in question is
registered, or if an application is in process.
· The OMMP will disclose patient information to others only at
the specific written request of the patient.
Growing and Possession
· The OMMP cannot supply seeds, starter plants, or give advice
on how to grow medical marijuana.
· A patient may reimburse his or her grower for the cost of
supplies and utilities associated with the production of his or
her medical marijuana; the Act does not allow reimbursement
for labor or any other costs.
· All usable marijuana, plants, seedlings and starts are the
property of the patient and must be returned to the patient upon
request.
· Marijuana may be transferred by a registry identification
cardholder to another registry identification cardholder as long
no consideration is paid for the transfer.
