Scenario:
Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the Circular Club of Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to suggest a new fundraising activity for the club. After a considerable amount of research, Shelley proposed the Circular Club sponsor a professional rodeo. In her presentation to the club, Shelley recommends the fundraiser become an annual activity with the following goals:
Continue to grow each year
Give back to the community
Provide the club a presence in the community
Shelley's goal in the first year is to have an activity that would become an "annual community event" and would break even the first year and raise $5,000 the following year. In addition, based on the experience of other communities, Shelley believed a rodeo could grow in popularity so the club would eventually earn an average of $20,000 annually.
A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world's oldest and largest rodeo-sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional rodeo. The sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the following five events: Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, and Calf Roping, Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize money in the amount of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the seven events. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated with the rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably not be sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent letters to local businesses soliciting contributions in exchange for various sponsorships. Exhibiting Sponsorships are $1,000 to exhibit products or services, while Major Sponsorships are $600, and Chute Sponsorships are $500 to have the name of the sponsor's business on one of the six bucking chutes. For a contribution of $100, individual sponsors will be included in a Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs.
A local youth group will be contacted to provide concessions to the public and divide the profits with the Circular Club. The Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June 1, 2, and 3. The cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or $10 at the gate; the cost of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is set at $6 in .

A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world’s oldest and
largest rodeo-sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor a professional rodeo. The
sanctioning agency requires a rodeo to consist of the following five events:
Bareback Riding, Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, and Calf Roping.
Because there were a number of team ropers in the area and because they
wanted to include females in the competition, members of the rodeo committee
added Team Roping and Women’s Barrels. Prize money of $3,000 would be paid
to winners in each of the seven events.
Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle Company, a livestock
contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide bucking stock, fencing, and

ticket sales would probably not be sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee

Sponsors would contribute $500 to have the name of their business on one of the
six bucking chutes. For a contribution of $100, individuals would be included in
a Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs. At each performance the
rodeo announcer would repeatedly mention the names of the businesses and individuals
at each level of sponsorship. In addition, large signs and banners with
the names of the businesses of the Exhibiting Sponsors, Major Sponsors, and
Chute Sponsors were to be displayed prominently in the arena.

Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the.docxssuserf9c51d
Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the 1950s and '60s, this was particularly true, as successful black and white musicians openly addressed the issues of the day. During the '60s, popular white singers, such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, lent both their names and their musical talents to the American Civil Rights Movement. In fact, music long assisted those working to win civil rights for African Americans. Freedom songs, often adapted from the music of the black church, played an essential role in bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a sense of community.

Importance of the Learning Agreement
Purpose of the Learning Agreement: The learning agreement is designed to ensure students are mindful about the learning expectations in their field placement. It was developed to help students and supervisors/instructors plan a well-rounded experience that will help students meet the learning objectives.
Learning Objectives: The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requires students gain competency in nine areas of social work practice. These areas of practice are defined as core competencies of the profession. Each core competency requires particular behaviors students should be able to engage and gain competency in. Students should provide examples of activities in the agency they can participate in to help them meet the learning objectives. Some examples of activities are provided. This is not an exhaustive list, so others can be added. Students must have an opportunity to complete tasks in all nine areas of competency.
Connection to the Student Evaluation: Not only is the learning agreement a helpful tool to plan the learning goals for the term, but it connects directly to the evaluation points in the student evaluation. Field Instructors/supervisors will be asked to complete student evaluations. Each student is evaluated on the nine core competencies of social work. Having a solid learning agreement aligns the learning goals with the student’s evaluation, so no areas are missed.
Instructions
Negotiating the Agreement: The learning agreement should be completed by week 3 at the agency. This is a collaborative process, where the .

Multimedia Instructional Materials
Staying current on technology is an essential aspect of being an educator. Today’s students are digital natives, and they often respond better to media than to traditional methods of teaching. Having a strong technology repertoire is important.
Create a matrix detailing a variety of multimedia, technology, games, apps, and other technological tools for teaching reading and writing to struggling readers and writers. Include five tools/media/apps and address the following, in 100-200 words per tool:
· App/technology tool description, app/technology location (online, offline through software, through a game console, etc.), and the cost.
· Age level or academic level for which the technology is appropriate.
· Advantages of using the technology.

Murray Bowen is one of the most respected family theorists in th.docxssuserf9c51d
Murray Bowen is one of the most respected family theorists in the field of family therapy. Bowen views the family unit as complex and believes it is important to understand the interactions among the members in order to solve problems. Satir and Minuchin also advanced family therapy with their concepts and models. As a clinical social worker, using these models (along with having an ecological perspective) can be very effective in helping clients.
For this Discussion, review the “Petrakis Family” case history and video session.
By Day 4
Post
(using two concepts of Bowen’s family theory) a discussion and analysis of the events that occurred after Alec moved in with his grandmother up until Helen went to the hospital. If you used the concepts of structural family therapy, how would your analysis of the situation be different? Which family theory did you find to be most helpful in your analysis? Finally, indicate whether Satir’s or Minuchin’s model is the more strength-based model. Why?
The Petrakis Family Helen Petrakis is a 52-year-old heterosexual married female of Greek descent who says that she feels overwhelmed and “blue.” She came to our agency at the suggestion of a close friend who thought Helen would benefit from having a person who could listen. Although she is uncomfortable talking about her life with a stranger, Helen said that she decided to come for therapy because she worries about burdening friends with her troubles. Helen and I have met four times, twice per month, for individual therapy in 50-minute sessions. Helen consistently appears well-groomed. She speaks clearly and in moderate tones and seems to have linear thought progression; her memory seems intact. She claims no history of drug or alcohol abuse, and she does not identify a history of trauma. Helen says that other than chronic back pain from an old injury, which she manages with acetaminophen as needed, she is in good health. Helen has worked full time at a hospital in the billing department since graduating from high school. Her husband, John (60), works full time managing a grocery store and earns the larger portion of the family income. She and John live with their three adult children in a 4-bedroom house. Helen voices a great deal of pride in the children. Alec, 27, is currently unemployed, which Helen attributes to the poor economy. Dmitra, 23, whom Helen describes as smart, beautiful, and hardworking, works as a sales consultant for a local department store. Athina, 18, is an honors student at a local college and earns spending money as a hostess in a family friend’s restaurant; Helen describes her as adorable and reliable. In our first session, I explained to Helen that I was an advanced year intern completing my second field placement at the agency. I told her I worked closely with my field supervisor to provide the best care possible. She said that was fine, congratulated me on advancing my career, and then began talking. I listened for the reasons H.
Mrs. Thomas is a 54, year old African American widow, mother and gra.docxssuserf9c51d
Mrs. Thomas is a 54, year old African American widow, mother and grandmother, who lives with her daughter and four grandchildren (ages 12, 10, 7 and 5) in a 4 story walk up apartment. She is an active member of her church community and friends, comments that she had so much energy that she exhausted all of them just being around her. At age 51, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Busy with raising her grandchildren, a little more than 3 years went by before she sought attention for her symptoms and was diagnosed. Despite aggressive treatments with chemotherapy and radiation, her diseased progressed and she was considering undergoing a bone marrow transplant. Climbing the stairs to the apartment one afternoon she became very short of breath and collapsed. Her twelve, year old granddaughter called 911. At the hospital she was minimally responsive and in severe respiratory distress. She was intubated and transferred to the ICU. A family meeting with the oncology and ICU team was called to discuss Mrs. Thomas’s advanced condition, the fact that she would probably not survive further treatment for the lymphoma and to develop a plan of care. Fifteen family members arrived, including her daughter, pre-teen granddaughters and grandson, three nieces, four nephews, several friends from her church and the minister. On being asked that only the immediate family participate in the meeting, the family and friends became angry and insisted that all of them be involved in this discussion.
1. The students should focus their thoughts on the dynamics of this family meeting. If you were the nurse in this situation, how would you address meeting? Here are some questions that may help your thinking. W
hat is your impression regarding this scenario? What are some concerns you have with this case? What do you anticipate would happen? How would you handle all the family members and friends wanting to be included in the discussion? There is not right or wrong answer. But remember you need a professional journal to support the discussion.
2. Now think about you being the patient. How would the situation be handle within your family? Have you thought about what kind of care you would want? Does someone know what you would want if you had a catastrophic event? Would family members support the decision maker's decision for for you?

Murder CasePreambleAn organization system administrator .docxssuserf9c51d
Murder Case
Preamble
An organization system administrator was labeled as the key suspect in a homicide case. The accused claimed that he was at work at the time of the murder.
Police Intervention
The police asked his employer to help them verify his alibi. Unpredictably, the same organization, occasionally trained law enforcement personnel to investigate computer crimes and was eager to help in the investigation.
Collaborative Strength:
The organization worked with police to assemble an investigative team, seized the suspect computers in his office and residence, and backup tapes on a file server managed by his employer. All of these evidence were stored in a room to where only members of the team had access.
Harsh Situation
At the initial stages, the operation appeared reasonably well documented, but the reconstruction process was a disaster. The investigators made so many omissions and mistakes that one computer expert when reading the investigator's logs, suggested that the fundamental mistake was that the investigators locked all of the smart people out of the room. The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit the slip-up.
As a result of the investigators' omissions and mistakes, the suspect's alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to support the suspect's alibi was identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the suspect's alibi rather than putting him through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.
Lesson Learned
The case amplifies forensic investigators' requirements to obtain fundamental knowledge of computers, compatible operating systems, and application software programs.
Forewarning forensic investigators to seek the assistance of the system administrator during the criminal investigation.
Scenario
You have been retained as a Deputy Technology officer at the University and charged with the responsibility of developing an Acceptable User Policy for the department of computer science based on this murder case.
Question 1
Use the AUP to amplify the advantages and disadvantages of investigators' quarterly training on most currently used operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, Linux, Sun System, and more.
Scenario 2
The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit the slip-up. As a result of such omissions and mistakes, the suspect's alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to support the suspect's alibi was identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the suspect's alibi rather than putting him through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.

Multimodal Personal Narrative – Develop a multimodal document to bot.docxssuserf9c51d
Multimodal Personal Narrative – Develop a multimodal document to both visually illustrate and verbally express a personal transformation.
Use a one-page newspaper or single-panel brochure format to present a personal narration of a transformation of your choice from a point in your childhood to today. You might discuss a career aspiration you had as a child, transition to the job you held as a teenager, and lastly, explain the profession you maintain today. Use connecting ideas to ensure you have a cohesive essay, which will ultimately (in the conclusion) explain what you learned from this transformation. For example, how and why did you go from point A (job 1) to point B (job 2) and then on to point C (job 3)? Or, you might consider illustrating a transformation based on a way of life or philosophy.
Implement three photos to represent your ideas, feelings, etc., at the three focal points in your life. You may use personal photos, clip art, or other images, but be sure you use and/or attribute them appropriately. For example, you are free to use your personal photos as you’d like, but make sure to choose clip art or other images that you either have permission to use freely or that you cite adequately. Equally consider your document’s layout, such as text sizes, photo placement (near the related essay text), and colors, in addition to how you present your content, to include thesis, support, and organization.
Sample thesis statement:
Growing up in Sedona, Arizona, I was constantly looking up into the clear night sky, viewing multiple constellations and shimmering stars, which had me yearning to reach them—literally—so when I turned 16, I began working as a camp counselor at a space camp, which ultimately led to a career at NASA; my journey taught me that if I reached for the stars, nothing could stop me.
Length:
This assignment should be at least 500 words.

Multigenre Project
EN101O Fall 2019 Dr. Walter
A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:
A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work towards a claim you are making about the topic.
A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the bo.

Multicultural PerspectiveToday’s classrooms are diverse and .docxssuserf9c51d
Multicultural Perspective
Today’s classrooms are diverse and you will be expected to meet the needs of all of your students. Many of our students come from different cultures, which affects how they learn. We must take this into consideration when developing our lesson plans, making our role as an educator even more complex. As a result, we must be informed of our students’ cultural backgrounds as this includes another element of cognitive understanding that will guide our instructional practices. By understanding student culture, we can gain insight into learning preferences, interests, motivation, and prior knowledge.
Based on the important features of multicultural education found in Figure 4.6 of our text and selecting a specific content standard from the
Common Core State Standards Initiative (Links to an external site.)
(CCSS), develop a learning activity that includes these key features of multicultural education:
Integration of content
– How does your learning activity incorporate content from different cultures?
Reducing Prejudice
– How does the learning activity attempt to minimize any of your own prejudices as well as your students?
Making Teaching Equitable
– How does the instructional approach to your learning activity meet the needs of all your students by recognizing learning styles, interests, and motivation to help achieve academic potential?
Empowering Learners
– How does the learning activity empower all students to work toward their academic potential?
Construction of Knowledge
– How does your learning activity promote different perspectives that validate how culture influences knowledge and beliefs?
Be sure to first provide your content standard from the CCSS followed by your learning activity. Then explain how your learning activity meets each element of multicultural education by providing evidence to justify and support your assertions. Then reflect on your K-12 school experience. Was a multicultural education part of your schooling? What factors may have contributed to the inclusion or exclusion of a multicultural education in your own early schooling? Make sure to incorporate the five key features of multicultural education in your reflection.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Scenario: Shelley Jones has just been elected as president of the
Circular Club of Auburn, Kansas, and she has been asked to
suggest a new fundraising activity for the club. After a
considerable amount of research, Shelley proposed the Circular
Club sponsor a professional rodeo. In her presentation to the
club, Shelley recommends the fundraiser become an annual
activity with the following goals:
· Continue to grow each year
· Give back to the community
· Provide the club a presence in the community
Shelley's goal in the first year is to have an activity that would
become an "annual community event" and would break even the
first year and raise $5,000 the following year. In addition, based
on the experience of other communities, Shelley believed a
rodeo could grow in popularity so the club would eventually
earn an average of $20,000 annually.
A rodeo committee was formed. Shelley contacted the world's
oldest and largest rodeo-sanctioning agency to apply to sponsor
a professional rodeo. The sanctioning agency requires a rodeo
to consist of the following five events: Bareback Riding,
Bronco Riding, Steer Wrestling, Bull Riding, and Calf Roping,
Team Roping and Women's Barrels. Prize money in the amount
of $3,000 would be paid to winners in each of the seven events.
5. Members of the rodeo committee contracted with RJ Cattle
Company, a livestock contractor on the rodeo circuit, to provide
bucking stock, fencing, and chutes. Realizing costs associated
with the rodeo were tremendous and ticket sales would probably
not be sufficient to cover the costs, the rodeo committee sent
letters to local businesses soliciting contributions in exchange
for various sponsorships. Exhibiting Sponsorships are $1,000 to
exhibit products or services, while Major Sponsorships are
$600, and Chute Sponsorships are $500 to have the name of the
sponsor's business on one of the six bucking chutes. For a
contribution of $100, individual sponsors will be included in a
Friends of Rodeo list found in the rodeo programs.
A local youth group will be contacted to provide concessions to
the public and divide the profits with the Circular Club. The
Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup will be held on June
1, 2, and 3. The cost of an adult ticket is set at $8 in advance or
$10 at the gate; the cost of a ticket for a child 12 or younger is
set at $6 in advance or $8 at the gate. Tickets are not date-
specific. Rather, one ticket will admit an individual to one
performance of his or her choice-- Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
The rodeo committee is able to secure a location through the
county supervisors' board at a nominal cost to the Circular
Club. The arrangement allows for the use of the county fair
grounds and arena for a one-week period. Several months prior
to the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee were notified the
bleachers at the arena would hold 2,500 patrons. On Saturday
night, paid attendance was 1,663, but all seats were filled due to
poor gate controls. Attendance was 898 Friday and 769 on
Sunday.
The following revenue and expense figures relate to the first
year of the rodeo.
Receipts
Contributions from sponsors $22,000
Receipts from ticket sales $28,971
Share of concession profits $1,513
Sale of programs $600

*The club contracted with a local caterer to provide a tent and
food for the contestants. The cost of the food was contingent on
the number of contestants each evening. Information concerning
the number of contestants and the costs incurred are as follows:
ContestantsTotal Cost
Friday 68 $998
Saturday 96 $1,243
Sunday 83 $1,100
$3,341
On Wednesday after the rodeo, members of the rodeo committee
met to discuss and critique the rodeo. Jonathan Edmunds, CPA
and President of the Circular Club, commented that the club did
not lose money. Rather, Jonathan said, "The club made an
investment in the rodeo." The rodeo committee has requested
7. an analysis of the rodeos performance and evaluation of the
CPA's review.
Create a minimum 10-slide presentation, including detailed
speaker notes, as the committee's consultation team and respond
to the following:
· What did Jonathan Edmunds mean when he said the club had
made an investment in the rodeo? Is his comment consistent
with Shelley's idea that the club should have a fundraiser that
would:
· Continue to get better each year.
· Give back to the community.
· Provide the club a presence in the community? Why or why
not?
· Shelley, Jonathan, and Adrian Stein, the Fundraising
Chairperson, are beginning to make plans for next year's rodeo.
Shelley believes by negotiating with local feed stores, inn-
keepers, and other business owners, costs can be cut
dramatically. Jonathan agrees. After carefully analyzing costs,
Jonathan has estimated the fixed expenses can be pared to
approximately $51,000. In addition, Jonathan estimates variable
costs are 4% of total gross receipts. After talking with business
owners who attended the rodeo, Adrian is confident the funds
solicited from sponsors will increase. Adrian is comfortable in
budgeting revenue from sponsors at $25,600. The local youth
group is unwilling to provide concessions to the audience unless
they receive all of the profits. Not having the personnel to staff
the concession booth, members of the Circular Club reluctantly
agree to let the youth group have 100% of the profits from the
concessions. In addition, members of the rodeo committee,
recognizing the net income from programs was only $100,
decide not to sell rodeo programs next year.
· Compute the break-even point in dollars of ticket sales
assuming Adrian and Jonathan are correct in their assumptions.
· Shelley has just learned you are calculating the break-even
point in dollars of ticket sales. She is still convinced the Club
can make a profit using the assumptions above (second bullet
8. point above).
· Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target
profit of $6,000.
· Calculate the dollars of ticket sales needed to earn a target
profit of $12,000.
· Are the facilities at the fairgrounds adequate to handle crowds
needed to generate ticket revenues calculated above (third bullet
point above) to earn a $6,000 profit? Show calculations to
support your answers.
· A few members in the Circular Club do not want to continue
with the annual rodeo. However, Shelley is insistent the Club
must continue to conduct the rodeo as an annual fundraiser.
Shelley argues she has spent hundreds of dollars on western
boots, hats, and other items of clothing to wear to the rodeo.
Are the expenses related to Shelley's purchases of rodeo
clothing relevant costs? Why or why not?
· Rather than hire the local catering company to cater the
Contestant Hospitality Tent, members of the Circular Club are
considering asking Shady's Bar-B-Q to cater the event in
exchange for a $600 Major Sponsor spot. In addition, The Fun
Shop, a local party supply business, will be asked to donate a
tent to use for the event. The Fun Shop will also be given a
$600 Major Sponsor spot. Several members of the Club are
opposed to this consideration, arguing that the two Major
Sponsor spots will take away from the money to be earned
through other sponsors. Adrian Stein has explained to the
members the Major Sponsor signs for the arena cost only $48
each. In addition, there is more than enough room to display
two additional sponsor signs. What would you encourage the
Club to do concerning the Contestant Hospitality Tent? Would
your answer be different if the arena were limited in the number
of additional signs that could be displayed? What kind of cost
would you consider in this situation that would not be found on
a financial statement?
· Assume you are elected chair of the rodeo committee for next
year. What steps would you suggest the committee take to make
9. the rodeo profitable?
