Unit VII Essay

Pick one of the notable pre-war era politicians or social figures addressed in the lecture, and assume their position and beliefs. After introducing yourself as your selected figure, choose two issues of note presented in this unit (1820-1861), and provide two separate editorial responses (minimum of 250 words for each issue) that you feel best represents your chosen figure’s perspective during this period. Both responses will be submitted together as one document.

A few stipulations: you may not choose a work written by your selected figure, two works by the same person, two works about any one issue, or any topics from outside of this unit. Lastly, do not reprint any actual editorials from the time as doing so will lead to steep deductions. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations

Management Succession and Risk Management Strategies
Please respond to the following:

• Assume you are the owner of a small business with which you are familiar. Outline the basics of a management succession plan for passing the business on to the individual of your choice.
• Referring to the same small business, determine the most appropriate way for that business to minimize its exposure to risk. Explain your rationale.
• From the case study, discuss possible new options for finding quality employees other than those considered in the case study.
• From the case study, discuss how Mark Sims could better motivate the employees he already has to become more productive and dedicated. Provide specific examples to support your response.

Note: you might enjoy watching an animated video by Dan Pink on motivation–you might be surprised by the results of the research he shares.

Getting the Job” Please respond to the following:

• As the video titled “Melissa Forman – Hilarious Resume Typos” (4 min 55 s) located at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FClWySJ6Sxs demonstrates it is very important to avoid mistakes when writing resumes and cover letters. Think back over your background and job history. What types of messaging have you used that are related to “finding” and “obtaining” employment? Some examples may include: job application cover letters, thank you notes, job-acceptance letters, recommendation requests, and others. Based on the video you watched, determine what the protocol is in your field or area of interest, and ascertain what makes an effective messaging tool. Please share relevant experiences / anecdotes from your work life.

, within every interview, there will be a point at which you have an opportunity to deliver a quick synopsis of who you are and your best qualifying points; for example, the interviewer might ask, “Why do you think you would be the best candidate for this position in our organization?”

You are to choose an article from the CSU Online Library database. The article may cover a topic presented in this unit. The article itself must be more than one page in length.

Some suggested topics include:

 environmental case studies,

 environmental toxicology,

 environmental chemistry,

 environmental exposure to pollutants,

 persistent chemicals in the environment,

 environment and toxicology, or

 pollution and health effects.

The assignment must include the following components:

1. a brief introduction to the article,

2. a summary and analysis of the key points of the article,

3. a decision on whether or not the article supports the concepts as presented in the textbook, and

4. a summary of the article’s conclusions and your own opinions.

The assignment must be a minimum of two pages but no more than four pages in length, double-spaced, and in APA style. Ensure you use APA references and in-text citations in your critique.

#1 -Computing equivalent units and assigning cost to completed units and ending work in process; no beginning inventory or cost transferred in [30-45 mins].

Sue Electronics makes CD players in three processes: assembly, programming, and packaging. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the assembly process. Conversion cost are incurred evenly throughout the process. The Assembly Department had no work in process on March 31. In mid-April, Sue Electronics started production on 100,000 CD players. Of this number, 76100 CD players were assembled during April and transferred out to the Programming Department. The April 30 work in process in the Assembly Department was 40% of the way through the assembly process Direct materials costing $375,720 were placed in production in Assembly during April, and direct labor of $157,700 and manufacturing overhead of $98,505 were assigned to that department.

Requirements

1.     Draw a time line for the Assembly Department.

2.     Use the time line to help you compute the number of equivalent units and the cost per equivalent unit in the Assembly Department for April.

3.     Assign total costs in the Assembly Department to (a) units completed and transferred to Programming during April and (b) units still in process at April 30.

#2 -Computing equivalent units and assigning cost to completed units and ending WIP inventory, two materials, added at different points; no beginning inventory or cost transferred in.

Root’s Exteriors produces exterior siding for homes. The Preparation Department begins with wood, which is chopped into small bits. At the end of the process, an adhesive is added. Then the wood/adhesive mixtures goes on to the Compression Department, where the wood is compressed into sheets. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the preparation process. March data for the Preparation Department are as follows (in millions):

Requirements

1.     Draw a time line for the Preparation Department.

2.     Use the time line to help you compute the equivalent. (Hint: East direct material added at a different point in the production process requires its own equivalent unit computation.)

3.     Compute the total costs of the units (sheets)

a.     Completed and transferred out tot the Compression Department

b.     In the Preparation Department’s Ending work in process inventory.

4.     Prepare the journal entry to record the cost of the sheets completed and transferred out to the Compression Department.

#3 -Break even sales; sales to earn a target operating income; contribution margin income statement.

British Productions performs London shows. The average show sells 1,200 tickets at $50 per ticket. There are 120 shows a year. The average show has a cast of 70, each earning an average of $300 per show. The cast is paid after each show. The other variable cost is a program –printing cost of $7 per guest. Annual fixed costs total $459,000.

#4 – Computing breakeven sales and sales needed to earn a target operating income; graphing CVP relationships; sensitivity analysis.

Big Time Investor Group is opening an office in Dallas. Fixed monthly costs are office rent ($8,200), depreciation on office furniture ($1,500), utilities ($2,300), special telephone lines ($1,300), a connection with an online brokerage service ($2,900), and the salary of a financial planner ($11,800). Variable costs include payments to the financial planner (9% of revenue), advertising (12% of revenue), supplies and postage (4% of revenue), and usage fees for the telephone lines and computerized brokerage service (5% of revenue).

Requirements

1.     Use the contribution margin ratio CVP formula to compute Big Time’s breakeven revenue in dollars. If the average trade leads to $800 in revenue for Big Time, how many trades must be made to break even?

2.     Use the income statement equation approach to compute the dollar revenues needed to earn a target monthly operating income of $11,200.

3.     Graph Big Time’s CVP relationships. Assume that an average trade leads to $800 in revenue for Big Time. Show the breakeven point, the sales revenue line, the fixed cost line, the total cost line, the operating loss area, the operating income area, and the sales in units (trades) and dollars when monthly operating income of $11,200 is earned. The graph should range from 0 to 80 units.

4.     Suppose that the average revenue Big Time earns increases to $900 per trade. Compute the new breakeven point in trades. How does this affect the breakeven point?

1. Job Evaluation Methods

 There are two general types of job evaluation methods: those that investigate the job as a whole and those that investigate the job from a variety of components. Choosing one job evaluation method, examine how that method would be the preferable approach to attain comparable worth throughout the organization, and where it would not be the preferable approach.

1. Survey Preparation

 Surveys are an important tool to assess the competitive forces in the marketplace regarding pay practices. The most critical step in the survey process is obtaining the proper job match. For an organization you are familiar with, identify a position that would be the match to utilize in your survey, including a brief discussion on the limitations of using this position to determine your organization’s overall salary competitiveness in the market
