Discussion 7: Week 7 Discussion: Working Capital Management
Cash Budget
Close to 50% of the typical industrial and retail firm's assets are held as working capital. Many newly minted college graduates work in positions that focus on working capital management, particularly in small businesses in which most new jobs are created in today's economy.
To prepare for this Discussion: Shared Practice, select two of the following components of working capital management: the cash conversion cycle, the cash budget, inventory management, and credit policies. Think about scenarios in which your selected topics were important for informing decision making. Be sure to review the video links above and conduct additional research using academically reviewed materials, and your professional experience on working capital concepts to help develop your scenarios. Support your discussion with appropriate examples including numerical examples as necessary.

Building healthier cities and communities involves local people working together to transform the conditions and outcomes that matter to them. That civic work demands an array of core competencies, such as community assessment, planning, community mobilization, intervention, advocacy, evaluation, and marketing successful efforts. Supporting this local and global work requires widespread and easy access to these community-building skills. However, these skills are not always learned, nor are they commonly taught either in formal or informal education. The internet can provide an effective means for transmitting skill-building resources broadly and inexpensively. This section describes a free resource for building healthier communities called the
Community Tool Box
.
WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY TOOL BOX?
BACKGROUND.
In the early days of the World Wide Web (1995), we began work on an Internet-based resource for community change and improvement, the "Community Tool Box" (CTB). Our mission is to promote community health and development by connecting people, ideas, and resources.
We focused on developing practical information for community building that both professionals and ordinary citizens could use in everyday practice -- for example, leadership skills, program evaluation, and writing a grant application. The emphasis was on these core competencies of community building, transcending more categorical issues and concerns, such as promoting child health, reducing violence, or creating job opportunities.
We developed a broad and evolving Table of Contents and started writing, one section at a time. By mid-1999, there were over 160 how-to sections and over 3,500 pages of text available on the Community Tool Box. As of July 2000, there were over 200 sections online and more than 5,000 pages of text.
AUDIENCE.
The audiences or end users for this site include:
People doing the work of community change and improvement (community leaders and members)
People supporting it (intermediary organizations such as public agencies or university-based centers)
People funding it (governmental institutions, foundations, and others).
Use of the Community Tool Box grew nearly exponentially: over 100,000 hits in 1997, over 500,000 in 1998, and well over one million in 1999. Guestbook data confirm that users represent a wide variety of community-building settings and positions and come from all corners of the planet.
ATTRIBUTES.
Building healthier communities is hard work, requiring frequent adjustments to emerging opportunities and barriers. To be a resource for community work, a "tool box" would exemplify the following attributes:
Its content needs to be
comprehensive
. Since effective community members and practitioners need a variety of skills, sections of the Tool Box would have to reflect a broad array of core competencies (e.g., skills in conducting listening sessions, organizing focus groups, leading meetings, group facilitation and recording).

3. Describe one of the five major themes of Progressive Reform outlined in chapter 20. Please include examples.
One of the five major themes for progressive reforms outlined in chapter 20 was election process. Specifically having individual states conduct primary’s for each political party’s candidates. This election process was enforced by the ratification of the 17
th
amendment in 1917.
This bold and desperately needed reform would help the working class more than some of the other reforms, as it would directly result in the people hand picking who they wanted to represent them and their local government verses having special interest group such as big corporations pay to have elected who they wanted. This was the start of true representation of the people by the people for the people.
Just as important in the early twentieth century was the adoption of the initiative and referendum, which allowed local state government the ability to empower local citizens more than just the right to vote a political appointee. This process allowed for private citizens the power to bring up time critical change by posting on a ballot a change or make a new law which would go up for a vote, if passed by public vote it would be law.
Without these two reforms such accidents like the triangle fire may have not resulted in new laws on work hours, child labor laws and other laws passed to protect pregnant women in the work place.

300 words long addressing the following issues.
it's a discussion homework
Case :missing artifact
For his own aesthetic purposes, Marcus Randolph had collected Pueblo Indian arts and crafts for many years before becoming an anthropologist. Randolph's fieldwork sites for ten years were located in Latin America. However, as a result of personal contacts, he was asked to conduct a brief ethnohistorical study in one of the Rio Grande pueblos. As his study progressed, he learned that an important item had been missing for about 20 years from the collection of paraphernalia used by one of the religious leaders in the community. According to this individual, ceremonies had never been complete since the item had disappeared. Crop failures and other community problems were partially attributed to this loss.
After obtaining a full description from the religious leader and checking this against information about the item with colleagues in local museums and universities, Randolph realized that there was a good chance that the item in question was at least similar to, if not identical to, one he had purchased 15 years previously from a trading post.
Randolph's Dilemma: Should he offer the item in his possession to the religious leader? Should he even show the item to the religious leader? Or, should he simply make a note regarding the missing religious piece and not disclose his personal possession to anyone in the community?

The patrol division of a police department is the lifeblood of how and where a majority of information flows into the organization. For police departments that either plan to or have already implemented a community policing program or project, one particular division that police officials address is
patrol
. The patrol officers of the department’s patrol division perform a battery of tasks while interacting with community members and business owners. Those tasks can and do include handling calls for service, writing crime reports, solving problems, and being visible. One area of patrol that community policing programs promotes is
foot patrols
.
Another form of patrol that police departments utilize is
bicycle patrols
. Bicycle patrols are typically popular in downtown areas, shopping malls, and business communities because of their ease in maneuverability but more so because of the closer interaction the officer has with the citizens that work and patronize the various businesses.

APA STYLE
The U.S. has long been seen by many around the world as a bastion of freedom and liberty. But what does this mean? How can individual choice be promoted and protected when members of society have different views of how things should be organized and how their own interests can be preserved? The interests of an individual in his or her own freedom and liberty to act must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole, and sometimes these interests collide. Societies need to have laws to promote order. The larger, more diverse, and more complex a society is, the more regulated that society must be. At the same time, people have differing opinions about what choices should be allowed on many controversial subjects, about what the government itself should be allowed to do, and about whose interests should prevail.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 3–4 pages:
With respect to the making, enforcement, and interpretation of laws, what are the roles of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the U.S. government?
Who does what? In other words, are these roles really separate and distinct, or are there ways in which these roles overlap?
As society changes, how does this impact the making and interpretation of laws?
What are your conclusions about the need to balance individual choice and liberty with the needs of U.S. society as a whole? Incorporate an example of a law or an issue or area of particular interest to you. Ideas could include: civil rights, domestic and/or child abuse, or detention of suspected terrorists.
To illustrate your position on these questions, refer to your text, the supplemental course materials, or pertinent outside sources (library, Web, other resources) to support your responses. You may choose a law or policy that you are interested in to illustrate your conclusions.

1.
Distinguish between vulnerability, threat, and control.
2.
Theft usually results in some kind of harm. For example, if someone steals
your car, you may suffer financial loss, inconvenience (by losing your mode of
transportation), and emotional upset (because of invasion of your personal
property and space). List three kinds of harm a company might experience from
theft of computer equipment.
3.
List at least three kinds of harm a company could experience from electronic
espionage or unauthorized viewing of confidential company materials.
4.
List at least three kinds of damage a company could suffer when the integrity
of a program or company data is compromised.
5.
List at least three kinds of harm a company could encounter from loss of
service, that is, failure of availability. List the product or capability to which
access is lost, and explain how this loss hurts the company.
6.
Describe each of the following four kinds of access control mechanisms in
terms of (a) ease of determining authorized access during execution, (b) ease of
adding access for a new subject, (c) ease of deleting access by a subject, and (d)
ease of creating a new object to which all subjects by default have access.
• per-subject access control list (that is, one list for each subject tells
all the objects to which that subject has access)
• per-object access control list (that is, one list for each object tells all
the subjects who have access to that object)
• access control matrix
• capability
7.
Suppose a per-subject access control list is used. Deleting an object in such a
system is inconvenient because all changes must be made to the control lists of
all subjects who did have access to the object. Suggest an alternative, less costly
means of handling deletion.
8.
File access control relates largely to the secrecy dimension of security. What
is the relationship between an access control matrix and the integrity of the
objects to which access is being controlled?
9.
One feature of a capability-based protection system is the ability of one
process to transfer a copy of a capability to another process. Describe a situation
in which one process should be able to transfer a capability to another.
10.
Suggest an efficient scheme for maintaining a per-user protection scheme.
That is, the system maintains one directory per user, and that directory lists all

You could write a “Literacy Narrative” about the influence that a particular social and/or cultural environment had on your literate practices and how those practices may or may not have fit in with the environment. In other words, you will examine the way you had to change your communication practices to fit into a new environment (whether it was a different school; a new neighborhood, state, or country; or a new workplace, for instance) and how successful you were in fitting in to that new environment.
Literate practices
may include speaking, writing, reading, and interpretation, and you may write about these practices in terms of communication conventions, the expectations for behavior or performance, an understanding and acceptance of roles and responsibilities, etc., in a particular setting.

Understanding the difference between stressors that are within your control and those that are not contributes to the foundation of how to resolve or manage the stressor. Lazarus and Folkman, in the early 1980s, introduced problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping.

Three sons - Hamlet, Laertes, and Fortinbras - all lose fathers and seek to avenge their deaths. Discuss the three avengers' actions in terms of their reasonableness (Is their quest/revenge justified?), emotionalism (How large a part does emotion play?) , and success (What defines success? Who is, and who isn't, successful?) . Make sure to make use of the text to support your analysis.
Use copious quotes from the text to support your thesis.
Do not forget to have a Works Cited page.
A little background of the characters:
Fortinbras - lost his father honorably before he could have really known him. He seeks revenge by first forming an army under his uncle's nose, and then, when thwarted, goes to attack Poland BUT manages to arrive just in time to take the throne of Denmark. Laertes - leaves Paris upon hearing of his father's death and assembles a mob, threatens the king - and all before he has the facts.
Hamlet - when he is told by the Ghost that his uncle killed him, he seeks revenge. But he doesn't go to the people (like Laertes), instead taking it upon himself to first ascertain if the ghost is true, and then bring about revenge himself. Laertes and Hamlet act as foils to one another. Of course you will have more to say about Laertes and Hamlet than Fortinbras, but you should still be able to discuss him (look at what others say about him).

it's a discussion homework
Case :missing artifact
For his own aesthetic purposes, Marcus Randolph had collected Pueblo Indian arts and crafts for many years before becoming an anthropologist. Randolph's fieldwork sites for ten years were located in Latin America. However, as a result of personal contacts, he was asked to conduct a brief ethnohistorical study in one of the Rio Grande pueblos. As his study progressed, he learned that an important item had been missing for about 20 years from the collection of paraphernalia used by one of the religious leaders in the community. According to this individual, ceremonies had never been complete since the item had disappeared. Crop failures and other community problems were partially attributed to this loss.
After obtaining a full description from the religious leader and checking this against information about the item with colleagues in local museums and universities, Randolph realized that there was a good chance that the item in question was at least similar to, if not identical to, one he had purchased 15 years previously from a trading post.
Randolph's Dilemma: Should he offer the item in his possession to the religious leader? Should he even show the item to the religious leader? Or, should he simply make a note regarding the missing religious piece and not disclose his personal possession to anyone in the community?

APA STYLE
The U.S. has long been seen by many around the world as a bastion of freedom and liberty. But what does this mean? How can individual choice be promoted and protected when members of society have different views of how things should be organized and how their own interests can be preserved? The interests of an individual in his or her own freedom and liberty to act must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole, and sometimes these interests collide. Societies need to have laws to promote order. The larger, more diverse, and more complex a society is, the more regulated that society must be. At the same time, people have differing opinions about what choices should be allowed on many controversial subjects, about what the government itself should be allowed to do, and about whose interests should prevail.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 3–4 pages:
With respect to the making, enforcement, and interpretation of laws, what are the roles of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the U.S. government?
Who does what? In other words, are these roles really separate and distinct, or are there ways in which these roles overlap?
As society changes, how does this impact the making and interpretation of laws?
What are your conclusions about the need to balance individual choice and liberty with the needs of U.S. society as a whole? Incorporate an example of a law or an issue or area of particular interest to you. Ideas could include: civil rights, domestic and/or child abuse, or detention of suspected terrorists.
To illustrate your position on these questions, refer to your text, the supplemental course materials, or pertinent outside sources (library, Web, other resources) to support your responses. You may choose a law or policy that you are interested in to illustrate your conclusions.

1.
Distinguish between vulnerability, threat, and control.
2.
Theft usually results in some kind of harm. For example, if someone steals
your car, you may suffer financial loss, inconvenience (by losing your mode of
transportation), and emotional upset (because of invasion of your personal
property and space). List three kinds of harm a company might experience from
theft of computer equipment.
3.
List at least three kinds of harm a company could experience from electronic
espionage or unauthorized viewing of confidential company materials.
4.
List at least three kinds of damage a company could suffer when the integrity
of a program or company data is compromised.
5.
List at least three kinds of harm a company could encounter from loss of
service, that is, failure of availability. List the product or capability to which
access is lost, and explain how this loss hurts the company.
6.
Describe each of the following four kinds of access control mechanisms in
terms of (a) ease of determining authorized access during execution, (b) ease of
adding access for a new subject, (c) ease of deleting access by a subject, and (d)
ease of creating a new object to which all subjects by default have access.
• per-subject access control list (that is, one list for each subject tells
all the objects to which that subject has access)
• per-object access control list (that is, one list for each object tells all
the subjects who have access to that object)
• access control matrix
• capability
7.
Suppose a per-subject access control list is used. Deleting an object in such a
system is inconvenient because all changes must be made to the control lists of
all subjects who did have access to the object. Suggest an alternative, less costly
means of handling deletion.
8.
File access control relates largely to the secrecy dimension of security. What
is the relationship between an access control matrix and the integrity of the
objects to which access is being controlled?
9.
One feature of a capability-based protection system is the ability of one
process to transfer a copy of a capability to another process. Describe a situation
in which one process should be able to transfer a capability to another.
10.
Suggest an efficient scheme for maintaining a per-user protection scheme.
That is, the system maintains one directory per user, and that directory lists all
the objects to which the user is allowed access. Your design should address the
needs of a system with 1000 users, of whom no more than 20 are active at any

3. Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC):
Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is a financial metric which is
used to indicate the time taken by a business to convert its
inventory investments and other business resources into cash
flow obtained from sales. It is also known as the net operating
cycle or the cash cycle. CCC is a quantitative measure and a
reliable indicator of the efficiency of a given business. CCC
helps in determining the period in which each input dollar in a
given business is tied to the production processes before it can
be converted into cash.
Businesses that take a longer time to convert investments into
cash would have higher CCC than businesses that take relatively
less time. High CCC is an indicator of inefficiency since it
would mean that the business is not efficient enough to convert
the cash quickly. On the other hand, low CCC is an indicator of
high efficiency, since the business processes are efficient
enough to convert the cash quickly (Nwude, Agbo & Ibe, 2018).
Therefore, if a company has a declining CCC over a given time
period, then it is a sign of its efficiency.
Similarly, if a company has rising CC over a given time, then it
is a sign of inefficiency and should lead to a thorough
investigation of the operational processes. However, it is
important to note that depending on the inventory management
and other related processes. CCC is applicable only for selected
sectors. Also, CCC can differ from one sector to another, due to
the nature of business n each sector being different (Doruk &
Ergün, 2019). Hence, the CCC of a business from one sector
cannot be compared to the CCC of another business from a
different sector.
Inventory management as being an element of working capital:
Inventory may be the asset that is main of company which
facilitates the transformation of cash profits. Inventory
4. management is really an element of working capital
management because the running of a stock having a stock of
products can be a cost that is added to the area of the owner
regarding the company. Therefore, the additional cost into the
title of stock needs management and monitoring so that you can
allow decision making that is informed. Inventory management
is actually an element of the producer’s relation aided by the
client as an effective stock can only just be achieved whenever
the producer knows the demand associated with the customers
by making accurate and prompt decisions. Inventory
management is rightly called the blocked capital that is working
of the company which will be placed to use during the time of
crisis or as soon as the market demand is overwhelmingly high.
Inventory management not merely facilitates the integration
associated with a business that is whole but also keeps the
customers pleased by satisfying their needs. Also, really helps
to minimize the expense of operating a listing and in addition to
that, additionally causes the maximization of profit. A vendor
utilizing the prepared stock to ship could be the key up to a
consumer that is delighted
How CCC helps in decision-making?
As discussed above, CCC helps in determining how much time a
business will take in converting its investments into cash.
Therefore, investors can determine how much time their
invested capital would take to come out as pay-outs. This will
help investors in deciding their investments on a prospective
investment opportunity (Zakari & Saidu, 2016). Companies or
businesses which have a longer CCC would most likely be a bad
investment. Also, CCC can help companies in modifying their
credit policies when it comes to their methods of credit
purchase.
Cash budget:
A cash budget of a business is the expected cash amount and
spending of cash at a given time period (like a year, month, or
5. week). This includes all the cash inflows and outflows of a
business, which in turn might is used to determine the cash
positions of a company in the future. Sales and production
forecasts of a business are used to determine the cash budget.
Along with this, the necessary collections and accounts
receivable amount is also taken into consideration. A cash
budget is a useful financial tool that helps in determining
whether a business has enough cash to operate. In case if a
business does not have a sufficient cash budget, it must r aise an
additional amount by issuing stock. A cash budget is prepared
after all the sales; purchases and expenditure of capital are
made. This is because the cash budget takes into consideration
all of these factors for determining the position of the cash
(Mishra, 2018).
Applications of cash budget for decision making:
As discussed above, a cash budget helps in determining whether
a business has enough cash to fund its operations. The cash
budget of a company helps in determining how much cash the
company has left. This in turn helps the company in determining
whether they need to take on more debt for raising liquidity or
not. If a company does not have a sufficient cash budget, it can
issue bonds or take loans. For smaller companies, the cash
budget is very important. It helps in determining the amount of
credit a company can give out to its customers without having
to face any problems in liquidity. In times of high expenditure,
a cash budget helps a business in avoiding any unwanted
expenditure. This in turn helps in the prevention of any cash
shortage during the period. It also helps businesses in
prioritizing their bill payments in a budget period.

Working Capital Management is well known to most people in
retail organizations. In any business that is like small or
medium or large-scale sectors, people are focusing on working
capital management. In the economy, it is important to note all
the budget management things in the case of the cash
conversion cycle. Inventory is the company's main asset that it
converts into sales revenues in order to get more growth to the
organization. The rate at which an organization sells it is
inventory is an important aspect of its success. Investors
consider the inventory turnover rate by checking its sales rates
and the inventory is too low that kept the company in danger of
losing sales. The time-dependent life cycle of cash which is
used for an organization process is can be handled by the cash
conversion cycle. In current assets include bill payments like
receivables, work-in-process statements, and inventories.
Current liabilities include the bill payables and then the
organization grows up in real-time situations (NGUYEN, 2020).
Cash Conversion Cycle
As we all have to remember, that cash conversion days are a
results calculation. While cash conversion metrics serve as only
a proxy of the efficiency of cash flowing through the company,
we need to focus harder on what drives each component of cash
conversion days. Accordingly, we need to look at our billing
practices in order to the business plan in working capital
management. Based on the invoices, the management will get
billed quickly without errors. In most cases, we have to follow -
up on past dues on the days after they are late. In short, we need
to attack issues on what can drive cash conversion days upward
(Sarfraz, 2018).
8. Cash Budget
Within the next few sections to grant credit offering credit is a
way can demand cash considered to extremely common. When
an organization has been selling goods and services investment
is tied that is involved with granting credit are not trivial. The
obvious reason can extend credit to making an investment and
there exist is the chance to allow some delay in payment. From
an accounting perspective, the costs of granting credit will not
pay as per the view of the credit policy decision. Such
receivables before the delivery will have provided an idea that
involves a trade-off in between the costs of carrying the
receivables. They need to associate first based on a major
investment credit that can be including stimulating sales. Based
on the employee performances most of the people prefer to
make the choices among themselves as an executive (Gupta,
2019).

From applied practicum, it is noticeable that businesses depend
on adequate capital for their establishment and to operate their
activities. Primarily, the total capital of an organization can be
in a class entailing working capital and fixed capital. In most
organizations, it is a necessity to have provisions for fixed
capital to help in the purchasing of fixed assets such as land,
furniture, building, machinery, and many others. As opposed to
working capital that is required for current assets investment, it
is well known that fixed capital is usually invested for a long
duration. There are many scenarios in the organization where I
am employed that helped me understand how the various
components of working capital, such as the cash budget and
inventory management, are crucial in decision making.
Managing working capital efficiently ensures the overall
10. financial health and profitability for businesses. As such,
effective incorporation of working capital guarantees that an
organization is capable of maintaining adequate cash flow for
meeting the short-term debt obligations and operating costs. By
discussing how inventory management and cash budget
components are vital, one gets to know the importance of
working capital (Sharma, 2020).
Familiarization with inventory management played an essential
role in creating insights on how a business behaves in terms of
performance. In decision making, knowing about inventory
management was essential since stakeholders need to know all
the primary assets that can easily be converted into sales
revenues. In any enterprising activity, it is always vital to
ensure a business from downscaling. As such, inventory
management is indeed one of those components of working
capital that exhibits excellent benefits. There was one moment
in the organization where I was actively involved in measuring
the success of a business function through using metrics like the
number of products sold and the replenishment of inventory.
Luckily, we arrived at a high inventory of 20%, which meant
that the company was not in danger or threat of losing out on
sales. Notably, this was a reduction of 10%. This was quite
informative to decision making since it shows that the
performance of the company was okay and that there was no
adverse effect or risk on overall production and sales. In
essence, this is the point where I noted that inventory
management is a vital component of working capital and an
essential factor to overall business operations in overtly all
sectors of the economy for aiding decision making (Supramono,
2019).
A cash budget is a vital component of working capital that
keeps checking on whether the business is progressing,
slugging, or falling. There was a scenario a couple of months
ago where I was involved in the process of determining the cash
inflows and cash outflows. The aim was advisability in nature,
and this activity was done fortnightly as per the company’s
11. culture. This is where I confirmed that a cash budget resembles
a plan that estimates the future use of cash for a given task or
project. For example, in the latest exercise, we prepared a cash
budget which also included all the sources of cash and the
possible use of funds. In our cash budget, we arrived at net cash
of $57,000. Based on the businesses carried out by our
company, this value did not manifest any risk to operations. In
essence, this is an important component of the cash forecast.
In a nutshell, working components and fixed capital should be
well defined. The reason is that the management of
organizations needs to get information surrounding the
wellbeing of an organization. It also helps monitor the
productivity of primary and secondary operations. Cash budget
and inventory management as the components of working
capital play an integral part in decision making (Kieschnick,
2018).
