Topic #1: National Debt
Imagine you have a Consulting Firm that advises governments
on issues of budget deficits and debt.
You get a call from the new government of Pinkland, which is
wondering whether it would be okay for them to increase their
deficit. They don’t give you any more information than that, but
they say they want you to tell them what the risksare, right
there, on the phone, without really giving you time to look up
information and data about that country. You ask to be given a
little time to gather your thoughts and put together your talking
points.
Given the situation, all you can do is telling them what
factors/ questions are important to consider
when assessing potential (low or high) risks of having greater
deficits/debt.
So you make a
numbered list
these factors/questions. Then, for each
factor/ question
you explain in detail why it is important to consider this factor
or to ask this question (i.e. under which circumstances they may
indicate a low or high risk of increasing the deficit/debt).

The document provides instructions for a memo assignment involving two topics: national debt and social security. For topic 1 on national debt, students are asked to imagine advising a government on increasing its deficit. They must provide a numbered list of important factors/questions to consider, and explain for each why it indicates potential risks of higher deficit. For topic 2 on social security, students must write as a representative proposing reforms to close the funding gap without raising deficit or cutting other budgets. They should describe challenges, their reform plan, who benefits/is burdened, and respond to an opponent's plan to use other funds instead. Public choice theory must also be discussed.

Better Business WritingFocus on These Thre.docx

Better Business Writing Focus on These Three Parts of Communication- The Rhetorical Triangle 1. Purpose 2. Audience 3. Context Purpose Know why you are writing What are you trying to accomplish? What reaction are your trying to get? What results are you after? With every sentence ask if you are advancing the cause. Search for the best words to get your point across What do you want the reader to: Think? Feel? Do? Understand Your Readers What are their goals and priorities What pressures do they face? What motivates them? Respect Your Reader’s Time If you don’t get to your point pretty quickly, they'll ignore you At the slightest need to struggle to understand you, they’ll stop trying – and think less of you Prove quickly that you have something valuable to say Why should they read what you wrote? What’s in it for them? Words Have Consequences Words have consequences and should elicit sincere meaning. Your communication should be respectful of the audience, be clear about the purpose and relate to the context of the situation. What Have You Told Them? Consider this - what do they know that they did not know before they read your message? What do they need to know? Were you specific? Did you give a timeline? Did you reduce their anxiety? Did you write in a way that assumes they are intelligent? What Conversation Are You Having With Yourself? When writing ask yourself: What do you want people to think after they read this message? What do you want them to do? How do you expect them to react it? Have you been as clear as possible? Are you talking to fellow employees or to shareholders and customers? Tailor Your Message To Your Audience Avoid cliché’s Eliminate jargon Simplify your message Have a sincere desire to inform Divide Your Writing Into Four Parts The Madman – who gathers the material and generate ideas The Architect – who organizes information and draws up an outline The Carpenter – who puts your thought into words – layout sentences and paragraphs The Judge – who polishes the expression, checks for tone and misinterpretation, corrects grammar and punctuation Organizing Paragraphs A paragraph is a unit of thought, not of length. It makes a point, a point different from what the previous paragraph made and different from what the next one will make. A bad paragraph is one where the reader has no idea until the end what the point is. Good Paragraph Construction 1. Say it 2. Explain it 3. Detail it 4. Say it again Say It The condition of the Baker Company is poor in every respect. Explain It Stock price, debt, and sales. Detail It 1. Forbes magazine singled Baker out recently as an example of overpriced stock. 2. Debt has mounted to the point where it is eight times equity. 3. And sales have declined from $1.1 million to $725,000 in only a few years. Say It Again Nothing favorable can be said about the company’s fin.

SOCI 234 Population and Society. Migration Homework Must be submitted on myCourses via the “Assignment” tab before the start of class on the due date (see syllabus for date). All homework must be submitted via myCourses. Answers must be typed. Include all formulas used in your answer.[footnoteRef:1] You must submit your homework as one (1) file (only PDF or Word files are acceptable). It is your responsibility to ensure that your file is readable, not corrupt, and includes your entire answer. [1: I recommend using the the equation and symbol features in Word.] You may help each other but each person must write up and submit their own assignment. Assignments that are too similar (e.g., typed with the exact same answers only a different cover page for each student) will be considered copies and situations of academic misconduct. You need to demonstrate that you completed the work. The entire assignment is worth 67points. It is only worth 10% of your entire grade. I am not expecting you to conduct outside research for this assignment and extraneous information will not help your grade (it may, in fact, hurt it if the information is wrong). Round your answers to two decimal places (i.e. 6.05 or 0.87) unless otherwise specified. Be concise and answer the specific question only. The homework is designed to test your knowledge and ability to calculate and interpret demographic equations and values. It is not a research assignment. You must answer all components. Include interpretations when specified. Include any formulas you use and show as much of your work as reasonably possible. If your final answer is incorrect you may still receive partial credit. You do not need to show every calculation but giving an example or two showing how you are plugging numbers into equations will help earn partial credit if necessary. For this assignment you are going to calculate and interpret migration rates for Canada and select European countries. You will be using data from two (2) sources. For part 1 on Canada you will continue to use data from Statistics Canada. For part 2 on Europe you will use data made available by Eurostat, the statistical agency of the European Union. As usual, you must use footnotes to include a citation for each data source you use in this assignment.[footnoteRef:2] You should include functioning hyperlinks whenever possible. Note, there are many websites that gather this type of information (e.g IndexMundi). You cannot use these websites as your source. [2: You may not need a separate citation for each number entered into a table. For example, if several pieces of information came from one StatsCan Table you can add the reference after a number and specify in the other information obtained from the same table. Please include hyperlinks to the actual data when possible. StatsCan typically offers a recommended citation at the bottom of each table. You should use that whenever possible.] Throughout the assignment you.

Appropriations Bill Instructions State Appropriation Bills (ea.docx

festockton

Appropriations Bill Instructions State Appropriation Bills (each 25%; thus 50% of overall course grade): It is no surprise that each U.S. state has its own unique characteristics – both demographic as well as fiscal. Though however inimitable, each state plays a vital role in American Federal Government. Each state actively pursues specialized policy initiatives to obtain their desired outcomes. Perhaps in its most notable form are Congressional Appropriations. Congress annually considers several appropriations measures, which provide discretionary funding for numerous activities—for example, national defense, education, and homeland security—as well as general government operations. The annual appropriations cycle is initiated with the President’s budget submission, which is due on the first Monday in February. This is followed by congressional consideration of a budget resolution that, in part, sets spending ceilings for the upcoming fiscal year. There are three types of appropriations measures. 1) Regular appropriations billsadminister most of the funding that is provided in all appropriations measures for a fiscal year and must be enacted by October 1, the beginning of the fiscal year. If regular bills are not enacted by the beginning of the new fiscal year, Congress adopts 2) continuing resolutionsto continue funding, generally until regular bills are enacted. 3) Supplemental appropriations billsprovide additional appropriations to become available during a fiscal year. Each student will choose a topic of their interest (e.g. water crisis, natural disasters, school violence, social movements, government shutdowns, midterm elections, healthcare overhaul, Supreme Court justices/rulings, campaign contributions etc.). Topics will be awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis; therefore, it would be in your best interest to choose your topic early. Students who have not selected a topic will be assigned a general topic by the instructor. Students will then be assigned a specific state for which they will develop their appropriations bill. Each proposal will be presented in class and be held to a vote by a simulated appropriations’ committee hearings. Simulation: The following components will determine your individual simulation/debate grades. · Cooperation: acts in a helpful and understanding manner, works well with others and initiates cooperative efforts · Speaking ability/negotiation skills: offers persuasive arguments and proposals in order to reach consensus · Listening: actively and respectfully listens to peers and professor (i.e. do not use your phone and engage in non-course related activities) · Preparation: arrives fully prepared with research completed, notes, proposals, questions, etc. · Quality of contributions (both verbal and written): comments are relevant and reflect understanding of the issues · Impact on discussion: comments help move simulation discussion forward · Participation frequency: actively participates respe ...

1 F303: Intermediate Investments Problem Set 2 Bonds and Options Professor Veronika K. Pool Kelley School of Business Indiana University Spring 2015 This assignment is due on Friday, March 27 by 4:30pm (a drop off box will be available at the finance department reception area on the 6th floor. Note that the office closes at 4:30pm on Friday, so you won’t be able to access the box if you are running late.). Collaboration is allowed, and you may work on this assignment in groups of up to three students. You can only collaborate with students from your own section, and hand in a single solution for your group with all members’ names on it. Be sure to explain your answers and show all your work for full credit. Wherever you use a financial calculator, write down all inputs and what you are solving for. 1. Bloomington Inc. issues a 20-year 6% annual coupon bond exactly a year prior to the due date of Problem Set 2. (a) Calculate the yield to maturity at the time of the issue if the bond is issued at a $82.60 discount. (b) What would be the price on the problem set due date if the bond is priced to yield 9%? (c) On September 27, 2015, you check the Wall Street Journal and find that comparable bonds are yielding 5% annually. What is the price of the bond on September 27, 2015? (d) You purchase the bond at the time of the issue (use the YTM from part (a)) and decide to sell it on the problem set due date (use the 9% yield to maturity). What is your return on this bond trade? 2. The following table shows four bonds, their coupon rates and their prices before and after an interest rate rise of 1 basis point (0.01%) this morning. The columns with maturity and duration information in the table were erroneously erased. Assume that the yield curve is flat (i.e. yields are the same for all bonds) and use annual compounding throughout. All bonds have face values of $1000. The only thing you remember about the last two columns is that all bonds have the same number of years to maturity. Your task is to fill in the last two columns with the correct information. Bond Coupon Price – before Price – after Time to Maturity Duration 1 14% $1245.78 $1245.06 2 10% $1000.00 $999.39 3 7% $815.66 $815.13 4 0% $385.54 $385.19 2 3. Your friend would like to know the price and duration of an annual coupon bond but she has lost her financial calculator. You decide to help. The bond is a 4-year annual 7% coupon bond with a yield to maturity of 9%. Determine the current price and the duration of the bond. You know that your friend will not buy the bond immediately; instead, she plans to trade at the end of the week. You worry that rates may change in the meantime and decide to perform additional calculations. In class, we learned that the duration rule for price sensitivity ( ) can tell you how prices will differ when interest rate ...

Lang Thai 1998 © c:/…/LangThai/Teaching/ExamApproach.doc APPROACH TO ANSWERING EXAM PROBLEM QUESTIONS 1. State the issue(s) involved in the question. 2. State the relevant law for the first issue (if there are more than one). If both statute and case law apply, deal with the statute first. 3. Apply the law to the facts. This means explaining why the law that you have just stated is relevant to the facts of the problem. As far as possible, use the actual words stated in the problem when explaining the law's relevance. 4. Provide argument. It is necessary to consider the law from both parties' points of view. Sometimes the law can be interpreted in different ways for argument's sake; sometimes the relevant cases differ in their interpretations of the law. One side might choose one interpretation, the other side, another. The best answers show an understanding of these differences. 5. Do the same for each issue. 6. Draw a conclusion from your preceding arguments. You should try to decide in favour of one of the parties. Note: A. When answering the problem, establish what the main issue(s) are and build up the foundation through logical reasoning. B. The length (and detail) of the answer should reflect the proportion of marks allocated to the question. If more time was allowed, the cases could be discussed in more detail. However, the basic structure should still be followed. If the answer is longer, short headings can be a helpful way to guide the marker. C. Wherever necessary, use case law to interpret the provisions of the statute. D. When a suggestive invitation is given for you to focus on a particular case (for example the similarities or the differences in the facts); be ready to analogise, contrast and express your opinion - but beware of the time.

Date: Today’s Date Re: Email Subject Line The body of the email (memo) goes here. Please separate the sections/elements of the memo into separate paragraphs, paying attention to structure. Is This My Place? ...Speaking “UP” (A)1 Ben was pleased when he was hired out of college, with an accounting degree, to manage the internal and external reporting for a non-profit organization whose work he respected. The organization collected donations of medical supplies from U.S. producers and shipped them to developing countries where the need was great and where they had partnerships with service providers on the ground. It was a small, thinly-staffed office and that also appealed to Ben. He knew their small size was the reason he had the opportunity to take on so much responsibility so quickly, and he approved of the thin operating expenses. The more efficient their operations, the greater the services they could provide to the individuals who most needed them. However, shortly after starting work, he began to see the downside of the organization’s thin staffing. The Executive Director was over-worked and stressed. Although by nature a micro-manager, necessity dictated that she delegate everything she could to her staff. And he quickly began to recognize that the organization had no formal system for monitoring the value of donated supplies for tax purposes. They relied on donors who might feel pressures from their own organizations to inflate the values. Ben struggled with several questions at first: shouldn’t he just trust the donors? After all, they were engaging in corporate philanthropy. And how much did it really matter? The point was to get the supplies to those who needed them overseas. He didn’t want to do anything that would discourage the donations. And he felt confident his Executive Director was aware of the conflict but just didn’t see it as a priority. In fact, when instructing staff on what she needed from them with regard to reporting, she often commented that she wasn’t interested in “data,” but rather focused on relationships and real world impacts. Wouldn’t she know better than he did how to prioritize this issue? And where was the organization’s accountant on this question? On the other hand, as time went on, Ben became quite certain that some of their donors were deceiving the IRS, and that he – and his organization – were enabling that deception. He knew he didn’t want to be part of that. And although he was young, he was a cocky sort. In fact, it had been his outspoken identification of an accounting error during his interview that had secured him the job in the first place, despite his relative youth. Of course, that error was simply a mistake and had had no ethical implications. What should he say, to whom, when.

Writing Effective Communications General Instructions Purpose This examination will evaluate your ability to write an interoffice memorandum and an e-mail. Preparation Review the following sections in this study unit: “Interoffice memorandums,” “Negative letters,” and “E-mails.” Your e-mail should follow the format shown in Figure 15, with content appropriate to the assignment—that is, a negative letter written to solve a problem. Background Phoenix Advertising, with its main headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, serves clients that include banks, insurance companies, and retail chains. You’re the vice president of human resources management at Phoenix. You report directly to Gregory S. Forest, the company president. Mr. Forest advises you that in the last month, four clients have complained about the advertising work produced by the Roanoke, Virginia branch of the agency. He reminds you that the clients served from the Roanoke branch are vital to the overall success of Phoenix Advertising. Mr. Forest also explains the little he has been able to learn about the situation at the branch: In the last three months, two of the top management people—an art director and an account executive—have left the agency. Three of the graphic designers and four of the copywriters are threatening to quit because they feel their creative efforts are being rejected or revised without consultation. They want to be part of a collaborative team, not to simply produce work that the art directors and account executives can alter arbitrarily. In an attempt to increase revenues, the branch is accepting new clients without evaluating the effects of the new accounts on the current project workload. As a result, without notice or compensation for the additional hours, all salaried employees are required to work long hours several days each week. Employee morale and productivity are declining day by day. Process Part A: Interoffice memorandum Step 1 Begin by creating facts, figures, and people to flesh out the above background information and your position in the company. The following questions are provided to jumpstart your prewriting, but you must expand on them to brainstorm thoroughly. In addition to listing details, also freewrite about the Phoenix Advertising agency and its executive team. • How large is the agency? How many branches does it have? Where are the branches located? • What’s the company’s mission? How does each branch relate to that mission? • What are the company’s primary business goals? • What do clients need from Phoenix Advertising? • Who are the people on the executive team (other vicepresidents of other departments)? • Who’s in charge of the agency’s accounts in all the branches? • Who knows about policies for accepting and assigning new accounts? • Who knows about the policies for collaborative work among account executives, art directors, graphic designers, and copywriters? • Are any other branches losing clients? Now brainstorm a.
