ACC 680 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
There seems to be a general misconception that accountants working in many organizations—such as a local CPA firm or an organization that is not publicly
traded—will not be impacted by the concerns of international accounting. Globalization, however, continues to shrink the global market into a seemingly smaller
playing field, making connections from businesses of any size and location to other businesses even more likely and more crucial. Companies that may not have
felt the impact of globalization and these accounting concerns in the past are likely to be feeling them now. This course will approach international accounting
concepts and dilemmas critically, examining the differences and impact of conducting business globally.
The purpose of the final project in this course is to foster this critical thinking in regard to key concepts in international accounting. The project will explore the
impact of diversity in accounting practices, the differences and impact of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS), and how international rules and regulations influence business practices.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Evaluate diversity in accounting practices for their impact on the effectiveness of financial accounting and reporting in a global economy
Differentiate between generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards as they apply to the transparency and
effectiveness of financial statements
Assess the implications of the United States converging with International Financial Reporting Standards by critically evaluating the impact it will have on
financial reporting in a global economy
Analyze the process of international financial statement analysis for its impact on the decision-making process in a multinational organization
Interpret how foreign currency rates impact financial statement creation in accordance with applicable rules and regulations
Examine the implications of variances in international tax laws on organizational strategy under generally accepted accounting principles and
International Financial Reporting Standards reporting requirements
Prompt
For this project, consider this scenario: you have worked very hard and have just earned a promotion at Quality CPA firm. As part of your new responsibilities,
you will be advising an influential client on their international aspirations. Their business has been booming and they are seriously considering expanding their
operation overseas. They are concerned about the political and financial risks of such an undertaking.
You will build a multimedia presentation (utilizing audio, if possible, with speaker notes to elaborate) that addresses the upper management of this company. You

ECO 201 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. Every day, millions of economic choices are made by people—from what brand of soap to buy
to how many employees to hire for a factory. Microeconomics provides us with the tools, models, and concepts to better understand individual choices in the
marketplace and how resource allocation is determined at the micro level. The decisions made by individuals and households impact the market and influence
decisions made by firms. Firms use these tools as a way to determine pricing, output, and profit maximization. As a student of economics, you can use the
microeconomic principles to gain an understanding of how firms and individuals make decisions and also to make your own conclusions about actions we can
take to improve those decisions.
Now, imagine that you are a consultant to the firm of your choice. The firm has hired you to advise it on how it can ensure its future success as a company in its
current market. To do this, you will write a 7–9-page research paper analyzing market and business data to explain how the core microeconomic principles impact
the sustainability of the firm and what actions it can take to ensure success.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final submission will occur in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Apply microeconomic models to real-world situations for informing effective business decisions
Analyze business and market data using microeconomic tools for their impact on business sustainability
Evaluate the structure of various markets for informing effective decision-making strategies
Assess the behavior and decisions of individuals and firms for their relation to the microeconomic framework
Prompt
You will work with your instructor to choose a firm for which you can find reliable data and information, both at the firm level and the industry level. The firm you
select must be a publicly traded company, must operate in the U.S. market, and must currently be in business. You will need instructor approval before continuing
on with your research paper in order to ensure you have met the necessary requirements. Publicly traded companies file reports with a great deal of data that
you will find useful for your analysis. Once you have selected a firm for your case study, you will gather information and data relevant to the firm and its industry
and use the core microeconomic principles you have learned in class to analyze the information and make a recommendation for your firm. You will compose a

Assignment
You have recently attended a workshop aimed at improving your understanding of company Annual Reports using Tesco’s report as an example.
During the workshop you looked at the following sections of Tesco’s annual report:
· The Strategic Report including the Environmental and Social Review,
· The Corporate Governance Report and,
· The Group Statements of: ‘Income’ (also sometimes referred to as the Statement of Profit and Loss) ‘Balance Sheet’ and ‘Cash-Flows’.
You learned about how different ‘stakeholders’ may use the information contained in these reports and financial statements. You also learned about financial ratios and how these can be used to interpret and assess the performance of a business in terms of its profitability, liquidity, efficiency and return to investors.
The timing of the workshop was very fortuitous. You are the Purchasing Manager for the business you work for. You are in the process of letting a contract for the supply of an important component used in your business’s production. You have been provided with the financial statements of Benedict Co. who are one of a few companies tendering for the contract. The income statement and statement of financial position have been reproduced ...
ACC 202 Milestone Three Income Statement Revenue Information.docxbartholomeocoombs
ACC 202 Milestone Three Income Statement Revenue Information
In order to complete Milestone Three, you will need the following income statement revenue information. Note that the revenue you use will depend on the
pricing level options you chose in Milestone Two.
Income for January-actual activity based on price levels:
For example, if you chose a grooming price of $25 per groom, the actual grooms in January were 4 per day assuming a 30-day month.
If you chose. . . The actual # of grooms/daycare/kennel
Grooming price $25 4 grooms per day
Grooming price $30 3 grooms per day
Grooming price $35 2 grooms per day
Daycare price $18 22 dogs per day
Daycare price $20 12 dogs per day
Daycare price $25 9 dogs per day
Kennel price $25 12 dogs per day
Kennel price $28 9 dogs per day
Kennel price $30 6 dogs per day
You are required to formulate a 250-word argument for or against each of two of the following
controversial statements.
1. Work-life balance is only of importance to mothers
2. The economic benefits of modern slavery outweigh any reputational damage for firms
3. A person’s commitment to their job decreases as they age
4. A focus on managing diversity is incompatible with ensuring equality at work.
Briefly summarized, an argument includes:
An assertion which responds to your chosen statement
Reason(s) why this assertion should be accepted; and
Evidence for why the reason(s) are valid/ convincing
It is not enough to just assert something, say it is important, then add a reference. You will need to explain your reasoning behind your thinking and support that with evidence why that reason should be accepted as a good one.
In academic work, evidence is usually in the form of references to high quality research, statistics, or views from other reputable authorities (such as industry bodies or trade unions for example). You should include one list of references at the end of your two 250-word arguments. Remember you can complete this assignment to a high standard even if you do not feel sure of your personal position on the issue – think of the number of lawyers who know their client is guilty, but still mount a case for their innocence anyway!

This example assumes that the auditor will carry forward audit evidence that was obtained in previous audits. When audit evidence is carried forward in this manner, you should perform procedures to determine that the audit evidence remains relevant for the current audit. This example illustrates how you might document the procedures performed to update audit evidence from a prior period as well as the results of those procedures.
Some of the procedures performed to update the understanding of the entity involve inquiries of company management. As a matter of audit efficiency, you may wish to make inquiries of management about the risks of fraud (as required by AU section 316,
Consideration of Fraud in a Financial

Risk Management Analysis Project Spring 2016This assignment cons.docxSUBHI7
Risk Management Analysis Project Spring 2016
This assignment consists of an analysis of a company that you select and a written report of your findings and recommendation. The objective of this project is to identify and analyze a buisness’ risk exposures and help assess how the firm should handle those exposures. This analysis should help students
a) understand the steps in the risk management process
b) identify risks that are inherent to many small businesses
c) explain the possible tools that may be used in risk management
d) identify various classifications of risk
e) examine how risk imposes significant economic losses upon the business or individuals affected by the business
f) learn how to construct a professional report that could be presented in a business setting.
To complete this project, students will select a small business, interview the owner or a representative of the business, conduct an on-site analysis of the business, present findings to class, and complete an executive report containing the information below. The project should be completed and presented as if you are the risk manager presenting your report to the board of directors or to the owner of the company.
Steps to complete this project:
1. Select a local small business and ask the owner or manager if you may perform a risk management analysis on its exposures. Please let them know that you will not ask for confidential information and that this project will be used only for a course project. You may offer to change the name of the company if that makes the owner more comfortable. Be sure it is a company to which you have access. Often students select a company for which they work or one for which they know the owner or manager personally. You will need to confirm the name of the company that you have selected on the date noted on the syllabus.
2. Follow the steps of the risk management process (these start on Page 1.33 of your text, with a list on page 1.35.), including:
a. Make a list of the risk management identification tools you can use to identify the exposures that the firm faces. You will need to use at least four of these identification tools in your analysis. These tools are discussed in Chapter 2 of your text.
b. Make a list of all of the information that you would like to get from the company owner or manager when you go for your interview and physical inspection. This step is your roadmap for completing the analysis.
c. List everything that you will need to complete your report, such as pictures, surrounding businesses, ownership structure, key customers or suppliers, etc.
d. You will want to write a brief questionnaire. The questionnaire as well as the answers you will get from your contact person will be included in your final report.

MBA 640 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
The project is divided into three milestones prior to the final submission, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and
ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Four, Six, and Seven. The final submission will occur in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Assess the global microeconomic environment for determining the driving factors that affect business financial decisions
Develop financial models that project the impact of different business scenarios on financial performance and business planning
Assess decision alternatives by using time value of money (TVM) and other appropriate financial metrics
Evaluate the potential impact of internal and external qualitative factors on business activities for supporting strategic financial decisions
Weigh internal and external funding alternatives for carrying out investment decisions
Construct persuasive, evidence-based arguments that incorporate legal and ethical behavior and sound financial analysis for soliciting external business
funding

FINANCIAL RESEARCH PROJECT (@ 20% of the final course grade)
Due date is stated in the course schedule.
Students must complete an individual financial research project. The purpose of this assignment is to grade students' ability to research, analyze and present financial information. Students will be required to research key financial data, analyze the information, apply the appropriate financial concepts and formulas and prepare a credible management level financial report.
THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETED INDIVIDUALLY BY THE STUDENT. This project is to be conducted by the student over the entire semester.
I
SITUATION:
OBJECTIVE
The specific objective of this graded written research exercise is to prepare an "executive level financial report" to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a mythical company in which you are employed as a financial analyst. This report will pertain to the financial evaluation of a real, publicly-traded, company. It will require independent research (web-based or library), careful financial analysis, and the proper application of key financial theories and formulas.
· The company that is to be analyzed for this project is John Deere.
Alternatively, you can request me to approve another publicly traded company. This request must be submitted before the end of the first week of the course. The request must include
a.
identification of the company by ticker symbol and name
b.
a reasonable and appropriate explanation of why you want to examine the alternative company
c.
the source of the analyst's report that will be used in the analysis (which must be submitted to me)
d.
acknowledgement by you that all of the specific elements of the assignment (see below) will be prepared by you and included in the final research project report
SITUATION
You are a financial analyst with the mythical High Technology Corporation ("HTC"). HTC is an established manufacturer of a line of electronic components for industrial-use machinery, which services an international market. A competitive technical and economic product evaluation has determined that John Deere (a real publicly-traded company) is the best potential candidate for a long-term commitment. John Deere is offering a competitively favorable deal. However, based on some serious general and economic concerns about the fallout of companies in the industry in general, the CEO has asked your CFO to conduct a financial analysis of John Deere to determine if it is prudent to commit to this company's product line. The cost of cutting over to the new product line is significant and any interruption in support during the next few years would adversely affect HTC's performance and profit. Specifically, the question is: will a commitment to John Deere be financially viable over the next two to three years?

ECO 201 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. Every day, millions of economic choices are made by people—from what brand of soap to buy
to how many employees to hire for a factory. Microeconomics provides us with the tools, models, and concepts to better understand individual choices in the
marketplace and how resource allocation is determined at the micro level. The decisions made by individuals and households impact the market and influence
decisions made by firms. Firms use these tools as a way to determine pricing, output, and profit maximization. As a student of economics, you can use the
microeconomic principles to gain an understanding of how firms and individuals make decisions and also to make your own conclusions about actions we can
take to improve those decisions.
Now, imagine that you are a consultant to the firm of your choice. The firm has hired you to advise it on how it can ensure its future success as a company in its
current market. To do this, you will write a 7–9-page research paper analyzing market and business data to explain how the core microeconomic principles impact
the sustainability of the firm and what actions it can take to ensure success.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final submission will occur in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Apply microeconomic models to real-world situations for informing effective business decisions
Analyze business and market data using microeconomic tools for their impact on business sustainability
Evaluate the structure of various markets for informing effective decision-making strategies
Assess the behavior and decisions of individuals and firms for their relation to the microeconomic framework
Prompt
You will work with your instructor to choose a firm for which you can find reliable data and information, both at the firm level and the industry level. The firm you
select must be a publicly traded company, must operate in the U.S. market, and must currently be in business. You will need instructor approval before continuing
on with your research paper in order to ensure you have met the necessary requirements. Publicly traded companies file reports with a great deal of data that
you will find useful for your analysis. Once you have selected a firm for your case study, you will gather information and data relevant to the firm and its industry
and use the core microeconomic principles you have learned in class to analyze the information and make a recommendation for your firm. You will compose a

Assignment
You have recently attended a workshop aimed at improving your understanding of company Annual Reports using Tesco’s report as an example.
During the workshop you looked at the following sections of Tesco’s annual report:
· The Strategic Report including the Environmental and Social Review,
· The Corporate Governance Report and,
· The Group Statements of: ‘Income’ (also sometimes referred to as the Statement of Profit and Loss) ‘Balance Sheet’ and ‘Cash-Flows’.
You learned about how different ‘stakeholders’ may use the information contained in these reports and financial statements. You also learned about financial ratios and how these can be used to interpret and assess the performance of a business in terms of its profitability, liquidity, efficiency and return to investors.
The timing of the workshop was very fortuitous. You are the Purchasing Manager for the business you work for. You are in the process of letting a contract for the supply of an important component used in your business’s production. You have been provided with the financial statements of Benedict Co. who are one of a few companies tendering for the contract. The income statement and statement of financial position have been reproduced ...

ACC 202 Milestone Three Income Statement Revenue Information
In order to complete Milestone Three, you will need the following income statement revenue information. Note that the revenue you use will depend on the
pricing level options you chose in Milestone Two.
Income for January-actual activity based on price levels:
For example, if you chose a grooming price of $25 per groom, the actual grooms in January were 4 per day assuming a 30-day month.
If you chose. . . The actual # of grooms/daycare/kennel
Grooming price $25 4 grooms per day
Grooming price $30 3 grooms per day
Grooming price $35 2 grooms per day
Daycare price $18 22 dogs per day
Daycare price $20 12 dogs per day
Daycare price $25 9 dogs per day
Kennel price $25 12 dogs per day
Kennel price $28 9 dogs per day
Kennel price $30 6 dogs per day
You are required to formulate a 250-word argument for or against each of two of the following
controversial statements.
1. Work-life balance is only of importance to mothers
2. The economic benefits of modern slavery outweigh any reputational damage for firms
3. A person’s commitment to their job decreases as they age
4. A focus on managing diversity is incompatible with ensuring equality at work.
Briefly summarized, an argument includes:
An assertion which responds to your chosen statement
Reason(s) why this assertion should be accepted; and
Evidence for why the reason(s) are valid/ convincing
It is not enough to just assert something, say it is important, then add a reference. You will need to explain your reasoning behind your thinking and support that with evidence why that reason should be accepted as a good one.
In academic work, evidence is usually in the form of references to high quality research, statistics, or views from other reputable authorities (such as industry bodies or trade unions for example). You should include one list of references at the end of your two 250-word arguments. Remember you can complete this assignment to a high standard even if you do not feel sure of your personal position on the issue – think of the number of lawyers who know their client is guilty, but still mount a case for their innocence anyway!

This example assumes that the auditor will carry forward audit evidence that was obtained in previous audits. When audit evidence is carried forward in this manner, you should perform procedures to determine that the audit evidence remains relevant for the current audit. This example illustrates how you might document the procedures performed to update audit evidence from a prior period as well as the results of those procedures.
Some of the procedures performed to update the understanding of the entity involve inquiries of company management. As a matter of audit efficiency, you may wish to make inquiries of management about the risks of fraud (as required by AU section 316,
Consideration of Fraud in a Financial

Risk Management Analysis Project Spring 2016This assignment cons.docxSUBHI7
Risk Management Analysis Project Spring 2016
This assignment consists of an analysis of a company that you select and a written report of your findings and recommendation. The objective of this project is to identify and analyze a buisness’ risk exposures and help assess how the firm should handle those exposures. This analysis should help students
a) understand the steps in the risk management process
b) identify risks that are inherent to many small businesses
c) explain the possible tools that may be used in risk management
d) identify various classifications of risk
e) examine how risk imposes significant economic losses upon the business or individuals affected by the business
f) learn how to construct a professional report that could be presented in a business setting.
To complete this project, students will select a small business, interview the owner or a representative of the business, conduct an on-site analysis of the business, present findings to class, and complete an executive report containing the information below. The project should be completed and presented as if you are the risk manager presenting your report to the board of directors or to the owner of the company.
Steps to complete this project:
1. Select a local small business and ask the owner or manager if you may perform a risk management analysis on its exposures. Please let them know that you will not ask for confidential information and that this project will be used only for a course project. You may offer to change the name of the company if that makes the owner more comfortable. Be sure it is a company to which you have access. Often students select a company for which they work or one for which they know the owner or manager personally. You will need to confirm the name of the company that you have selected on the date noted on the syllabus.
2. Follow the steps of the risk management process (these start on Page 1.33 of your text, with a list on page 1.35.), including:
a. Make a list of the risk management identification tools you can use to identify the exposures that the firm faces. You will need to use at least four of these identification tools in your analysis. These tools are discussed in Chapter 2 of your text.
b. Make a list of all of the information that you would like to get from the company owner or manager when you go for your interview and physical inspection. This step is your roadmap for completing the analysis.
c. List everything that you will need to complete your report, such as pictures, surrounding businesses, ownership structure, key customers or suppliers, etc.
d. You will want to write a brief questionnaire. The questionnaire as well as the answers you will get from your contact person will be included in your final report.

MBA 640 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
The project is divided into three milestones prior to the final submission, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and
ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Four, Six, and Seven. The final submission will occur in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Assess the global microeconomic environment for determining the driving factors that affect business financial decisions
Develop financial models that project the impact of different business scenarios on financial performance and business planning
Assess decision alternatives by using time value of money (TVM) and other appropriate financial metrics
Evaluate the potential impact of internal and external qualitative factors on business activities for supporting strategic financial decisions
Weigh internal and external funding alternatives for carrying out investment decisions
Construct persuasive, evidence-based arguments that incorporate legal and ethical behavior and sound financial analysis for soliciting external business
funding

FINANCIAL RESEARCH PROJECT (@ 20% of the final course grade)
Due date is stated in the course schedule.
Students must complete an individual financial research project. The purpose of this assignment is to grade students' ability to research, analyze and present financial information. Students will be required to research key financial data, analyze the information, apply the appropriate financial concepts and formulas and prepare a credible management level financial report.
THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETED INDIVIDUALLY BY THE STUDENT. This project is to be conducted by the student over the entire semester.
I
SITUATION:
OBJECTIVE
The specific objective of this graded written research exercise is to prepare an "executive level financial report" to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a mythical company in which you are employed as a financial analyst. This report will pertain to the financial evaluation of a real, publicly-traded, company. It will require independent research (web-based or library), careful financial analysis, and the proper application of key financial theories and formulas.
· The company that is to be analyzed for this project is John Deere.
Alternatively, you can request me to approve another publicly traded company. This request must be submitted before the end of the first week of the course. The request must include
a.
identification of the company by ticker symbol and name
b.
a reasonable and appropriate explanation of why you want to examine the alternative company
c.
the source of the analyst's report that will be used in the analysis (which must be submitted to me)
d.
acknowledgement by you that all of the specific elements of the assignment (see below) will be prepared by you and included in the final research project report
SITUATION
You are a financial analyst with the mythical High Technology Corporation ("HTC"). HTC is an established manufacturer of a line of electronic components for industrial-use machinery, which services an international market. A competitive technical and economic product evaluation has determined that John Deere (a real publicly-traded company) is the best potential candidate for a long-term commitment. John Deere is offering a competitively favorable deal. However, based on some serious general and economic concerns about the fallout of companies in the industry in general, the CEO has asked your CFO to conduct a financial analysis of John Deere to determine if it is prudent to commit to this company's product line. The cost of cutting over to the new product line is significant and any interruption in support during the next few years would adversely affect HTC's performance and profit. Specifically, the question is: will a commitment to John Deere be financially viable over the next two to three years?

Part one of the project requires that students perform a 1brief analysis of information provided in the assigned case to provide background related to the firm’s external and competitive environments. This enables the team to [1] identify any external opportunities and threats facing the firm, [2] describe the firm’s competitors and their approaches to competing and [3] identify key success factors (KSFs) for the industry.
The next section of the part one analysis requires that a firm analysis be performed to [1] identify the firm’s strengths and weaknesses (the value of the firm’s resources, capabilities and competencies) relative to its competitors and key success factors and [2] identify immediate problems or opportunities facing the firm as well as decisions to be made as identified in the case.
Using the external and internal and external analyses as background, the team then will develop alternatives and make strategy-related recommendations. This requires that the team [1] identify alternatives available to the firm that will enable it to solve its problems, take advantage of opportunities and o ...

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. ...

Purpose of Assignment
This week students will review and revise their Week 3 Research Analysis for Business Signature Assignment based on economic analysis and the feedback provided by their facilitator. Students will also expand their Week 3 analyses to evaluate the challenges of expanding their chosen company's production to a foreign market.
About Your Signature Assignment
This signature assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The signature assignments might be graded with an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for program improvements.
Assignment Steps
Resources: Tutorial help on Excel® and Word functions can be found on the Microsoft® Office website. There are also additional tutorials via the web offering support for Office products.
Revise your Week 3 assignment, Research Analysis for Business, using the feedback provided by your facilitator. This Week 6 report should only include one conclusion, so you will need to rewrite the conclusion you included in your Week 3 assignment, Research Analysis for Business.
Select a foreign market in which to expand your chosen product. If you wish, you may use one of the countries your team analyzed in their Week 5 Comparative and Absolute Advantage Assignment.
Prepare a minimum1,750-word report addressing the points listed below. The use of tables and/or charts to display economic data over the time period discussed is highly encouraged, you may submit any economic data in Microsoft® Excel® format in a separate file. You may use the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Dept. of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the Federal Reserve of St. Louis's FRED data, the CIA World Fact Book, World Bank data, and World Trade Organization, or other appropriate sources you might find on the Internet or in the University Library. The new sections of your report should:
· Evaluate current global economic conditions and their effects on macroeconomic indicators in your selected country. Provide forecasts for population growth, gross domestic product (GDP) growth, GDP per capita growth, export growth, and sales growth.
· Evaluate any competitors' existing production in the chosen country.
· Assess sales forecasts in the selected country by using the Federal Reserve of St. Louis's FRED data, the CIA World Fact Book, World Bank data, World Trade Organization, or other appropriate sources you might find on the Internet or in the University Library.
· Categorize the type of economy that exists in your selected country as closed, mixed, or market. What is the difference between these types of economies and how might this affect your expansion?

CemeteryAnalysis
Massachusetts has a unique archaeological resource in its many colonial graveyards. These contain a large number of precisely dated “artifacts” in the form of headstones and provide an opportunity for studies of the ways in which different aspects of British colonial and Euro- American culture have changed over time. For this assignment, you will visit a local cemetery of your choosing and use the headstones and other associated material culture to address questions aimed at understanding demographic, social, symbolic, or technological issues in the past. This assignment does not require any archaeological excavation, and your instructor and federal, state, and local laws expressly forbid you from doing any! The project also does not require you to do any additional background research, although you are welcome to do so. Please
respect these cemeteries, the individuals buried therein, and any visitors you may encounter during your study.
You must follow these steps:

This discussion aligns with Learning Outcomes 1, 2, and 4
Democracy, at its core, is centered on the idea that individuals can, in fact,
rule themselves. This concept is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution as we
know it today. However, early on the American Constitution was not a sound,
democratic document. In particular, the idea of popular sovereignty; that is,
the will of the people, was not extended to everyone. For example, as you
read this week, the framers, for a time, chose to retain slavery in the new
Republic. In addition to slavery, in what other areas was the Constitution of
1788 less than democratic? In what ways has the Constitution, since then,
become more democratic? Be sure to provide examples to support your
claims.
Submission
Our discussions are a valuable opportunity to have thoughtful conversations
regarding a specific topic. You are required to provide a comprehensive
initial post with 3-4 well-developed paragraphs that include a topic
sentence and at least 3-5 supporting sentences with additional details,

The Constitution of 1788 lacked democracy because it did not protect
the people’s beliefs. Religion influences people’s morality. And morality is
a key component of personal convictions. People’s convictions influence
how they want to be governed and how they vote. The first amendment to
the Constitution provided protection to the people’s beliefs by restricting
Congress from making laws respective to an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

• Ryanairs operations have been consistently plagued with emp.docxVannaJoy20
• Ryanair's operations have been consistently plagued with employee
discontent and protests (Temming, 2017). Communication between Line
Managers and employees has been tensed, and performance has suffered as a
result. The Company would benefit from the strategic positioning and
interpersonal skills of the Human Resource Business Partner.
• As an employee advocate, he or she would engage employees in dialogue and
ensure that whatever findings are made are brought to the attention of the line
manager promptly to be addressed.
• Also, as a collaborative partner, he would assist in channeling the needs of the
line manager in a way that will be understood and well received by
subordinates.
• Effective communication would eventually lead to mutual understanding and
benefit for all parties.
• It would go a long way in developing a strong company culture where
individuals are not afraid to express their thoughts and ideas. and would shift
focus away from conflict towards meeting Organizational goals.
01 CONSTRUCTIVE COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
02 EFFECTIVE CHANGE
MANAGEMENT
• The Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus stated that “Change is the only
constant of life” (Rothwell et al., 2015). This statement is pertinent to the
rapidly changing business climate (Lauer, 2019, p3) in which Ryanair
finds itself.
• A company’s readiness and reaction to change are important in
determining success. From our current state analysis, we discovered
that several tasks may be expedited and optimized with the introduction
of new technology.
• However, this must be introduced strategically to prevent resistance.
The role of the Human Resources Business Partner is essential in this
regard.
• He or She would determine the need for change and ensure reception of
the change by employing effective communication strategies
(McCracken et al., 2017).
• Apart from a change in technology, other elements that may undergo
transformation include processes, policies, personnel, amongst others.
It is important that these changes are taken in stride so that they do not
forestall operations.
03 FOCUSED TRAINING AND
CAPACITY BUILDING
• The Business Partner would be instrumental in identifying
areas requiring competency improvements (Onen, 2013) in
Ryanair.
• Through a series of activities such as performance reviews
and data analysis, as well as knowledge of the business, and
interactions with staff, the business partner would tailor
training programmers to drive outcomes that matter and meet
the company's needs and vision.
• Doing so would be of benefit not only to employees but to
Ryanair, who would see improved performances and save
costs that would have gone into retraining because of an
inefficient programme.
EFFECTIVE STRATEGY
DEVELOPMENT
• Ryanair would benefit from the HRBP's skills and
knowledge in developing strategic plans that create value
for future business successes.
• He or she would ensure that plans align with the needs and
expectations .

NUR 417: Aging and End of Life
Yedelis Diaz
November 01, 2022
Pathological Conditions in Older Adults
As one goes through the natural aging process, the body's capacity to defend itself against infections diminishes. The immune system's ability to offer protection is reduced, and the individual becomes susceptible to conditions that affect them more than other age groups (Haynes, 2020). This population also experiences other symptoms impairing other aspects of their lives as time passes. For instance, their skin and bones lose their integrity and become more prone to abrasions and breakage. This assignment module will examine the pathological conditions that affect the sexual response in older adults and how and why nutritional and psychological factors, drugs, and other alternative and complementary medications affect the immune system of the populations.
Pathological Conditions that Affect Sexual Response in Older Adults
Sexuality is an essential aspect of life, irrespective of the age group one is in—the older population and the younger generation alike need to explore sexuality to maintain health and well-being. Exploring sexuality is also a mixture of biological, psychological, social, and religious factors, all of which have plenty to do with aging. Among the pathological conditions that affect sexual response in the elderly include
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
These are the changes experienced in the genitourinary pathway as one age. The individual can feel a burning sensation, dryness, or irritation. This can lead to painful sexual encounters, which can, in turn, reduce their desire to engage and their response.
Dementia
This is a degenerative disorder of the mental faculties, predominantly among the elderly (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). Their judgment diminishes, making them disinterested or utterly unaware of their sexual experiences. Some forms of the condition have been shown to increase sex or closeness, but the individual may fail to recognize what is appropriate and what is not.
Diabetes
As a chronic condition experienced mainly by this population, it can lead to yeast generation, leading to itchiness around the sex organs, making sex unpalatable. The situation can, however, be addressed with medication.
Incontinence
This is a condition where one experiences bladder leakage caused by poor control (National Institute on Aging, n.d.). It is most prevalent among the population an.

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

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
