SOC388H1S: Sociology of Culture

Take-Home Test

Guidelines

Your test is to be submitted at the beginning of class on March 19 in TWO forms: as hard copy (please print double-sided, if possible), and electronic copy to be submitted to Quercus.

Answer two (2) of the following three (3) questions (20 points each question). Each question should be no more than 1,000 words (excluding references), double-spaced, 12-point type.

Your answers should be written in essay form. Each answer should have an introduction, main argument, and conclusion (with or without subheadings, it is up to you). Your arguments should be analytical, solid, and well supported by academic sources, rather than evaluations and opinions based on your particular views. Make sure to note when you are advancing your own ideas, and when you are relying on ideas published by others. It is always advisable to edit your writing to make sure it is clear and polished, with well-constructed sentences and paragraphs.

SOC388H1S: Sociology of Culture

To write each answer, you should develop a central argument that relies on literature from the course, as well as from outside the course. For each answer, you must use at least two sources from the course, and at least one academic source from outside the course. The outside academic source can be from any discipline, as long as it is relevant to the argument. You can use as many sources as you would like, but do make sure to reference them all. Please see the ASA Guidelines for citations and references posted on Quercus, and follow these guidelines. If you were to use AI as one of the sources (but do not use it to write your answers), you must also reference it, note what you used and how you used it. Please see the syllabus for information on the use of AI in this course.

The goal of this take-home test is to give you an opportunity to engage with the main topics of this course in a creative, critical, and analytical manner. You are therefore expected to engage with the course materials, and to elaborate your own arguments independently. If you find that searching and relying on other academic sources is helpful for that, then by all means use other sources (and make sure you reference them).

SOC388H1S: Sociology of Culture

How to organize each answer: First, if you find that using subheadings helps structure your answer, then feel free to use them, whether naming the sections introduction, main argument/analysis, and conclusion, or using any other subheadings that you find useful. The introduction should be brief, it should state your main argument, describe how you will approach the question (e.g., using x 2 theory, y empirical evidence), and justify your approach (e.g., I will use x theory because it is best suited for explaining how y conditions have led to z). The main section should unpack your argument, explain the position(s) you are putting forth, and demonstrate your position(s), whether through empirical evidence or scholarly theories and concepts. The conclusion should summarize your main point and discuss implications.

Questions

1-Social media has become a central part of people’s social experience, and all the more so among the younger generations. While Goffman wrote about how we manage our presentation of selves and interactions with others in face-to-face situations (the internet did not exist at the time), his ideas may (or may not) be helpful for understanding how people engage in impression management and interact with others on social media. Elaborate an argument about how Goffman’s ideas may or may not apply to everyday life on social media, specifying the strengths and/or limitations of Goffman’s dramaturgical approach for understanding social media. Make sure to specify which social media you are considering when you elaborate on the similarities and differences between face-to-face interactions and those on social media.

SOC388H1S: Sociology of Culture

2-In his classic article “Becoming a Marihuana User,” Becker proposed an interactionist approach to explain how and why people may come to enjoy certain kinds of new experiences and develop new habits (marihuana was but one example to illustrate the approach). This article was published in 1953, and many new sociological perspectives have been developed since then to explain how people live their everyday lives. What other sociological perspectives would help explain the kinds of processes Becker sought to explain, wether substituting or complementing Becker’s perspective? Discuss at least one or two perspectives you’ve learned about in this class, and apply them to a concrete example that is different from marihuana use. Make sure to explain, support, and justify your arguments.

3-Cerulo and Ruane elaborate a multifaceted explanation to understand how and why people imagine their future lives the way they do. What other sociological perspectives could be used to explain the reasons why people imagine their future lives the way they do? Discuss at least one or two persepectives you’ve learned about in this class which, in your view, would productively complement Cerulo and Ruane’s analysis, or would be better instead of Cerulo and Ruane’s perspective. Make sure to explain, support, and justify your arguments. Use APA referencing style.

Fletchers Case Study

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Fletchers Case Study

Fletchers is an Irish sandwich shop chain referred to simply as “Fletch”. Founded in 1983, Fletch currently has over 23 shops in throughout Ireland.

History

First ‘Fletchers’ retail outlet

Sean O’Malley founded the first Fletch in Dublin on 21^st June 1983 and was located opposite Tara Street Dart Station. It had its own kitchen and offered ready-to-eat freshly made natural food, filled baguettes, Croque-monsieur, coffees/teas and other ready-to-go convenience foods.

Opening in June 1983, the company traded at Tara Street Station for eighteen months at which time takings had continued to grow. In its second year of operation O’Malley noticed a continued demand for take-away food and the growth of the ‘to-go’ culture. It was at this point he decided to open another outlet within Connally Train Station. The success of these two outlets led to further outlets opening within Hueston Station, Bus Aras and Dublin Airport.

Fletchers Case Study

Fletchers, 1986 – 2023

The company emphasizes the use of natural ingredients and advertises that its sandwiches are made on the day of purchase in a kitchen at each location (with the stated exception of a few small outlets). Food left unsold at the end of the day is collected by charities. Sandwiches are packaged in paperboard rather than sealed plastic. In terms of revenue 68% of its trade is in Dublin City, where approximately 37% of its stores are located. Locations include:

Dublin: Tara, Connolly and Hueston Train Stations, Bus Aras, Dublin Airport, St Stephens Green Shopping Centre, ILAC Center, Irish Life Mall, Omni Center, Stillorgan Shopping Center, Dundrum Shopping Center.
Cork Airport, Douglas Shopping Center, Merchants Quay Shopping Center, Mahon Point Shopping Center, Wilton Shopping Center, Bus Eireann Station, Cork City train Station.
Waterford City Main Street,
Limerick – three outlets, Galway – three outlets, Athlone – two outlets, Donegal – one outlet.

Fletchers Case Study

Organisation

As Fletchers grew O’Malley structured the organization where each retail outlet was an independent entity. That is, each outlet was registered as an individual company. As technology developed all of the outlets shared the same platform for monitoring income, expenses, stock etc. Eventually, O’Malley established a Head Office (in Dublin City) where all outlets reported to. O’Malley controlled everything from Head Office. Over the years Head Office developed a Finance function, Marketing function, Research and Development and finally a kitchen where new ideas were developed and tested.

All retail outlets were approximately the same size and had the same staff compliment:

Store Manager;
4 X Supervisors:
20 Sales Assistants.

and operated the same hours:

Monday to Saturday: 7am – 10pm
Sunday: 8am – 6pm

All staff were trained in all aspects of work within each store and were frequently asked to work in other stores when necessary.

Fletchers Case Study

Issue: 2024

As Fletchers has grown O’Malley has adopted an autocratic approach to his management style. All decisions are made by him. Even when the retail managers are saying some of the decisions are affecting business.

Each retail outlet is managed as a ‘stand-alone’ entity with managers adopting different approaches in terms of layout and styling of the outlet which leads to confusion when one manager substitutes for another in a different location. There is essentially no unified approach to doing things. This also leads to confusion for staff who may have to work in various locations.

As each retail unit is a stand-alone entity there is no standard approach to doing things. Sandwiches etc are all made different ways even though they have the same name for example a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwich would be made differently in each of the retail outlets in Dublin when compared to other locations. This has led to confusion with customers who expect a standardized approach.

When retail Managers have a problem, they don’t know who to report to as there is no clear structure especially when dealing with finance issues. Also, there are no clear procedures in place for dealing with disciplinary issues, applying to get paid, paying for stock etc. This has led to considerable disruption among staff which has led to very high levels of staff turnover. Overall, the culture in the organization is at an all time low.

Fletchers Case Study

The National Employment Rights Authority have, following a complaint, requested a meeting with O’Malley to discuss the complaint. During the meeting it became apparent that ‘Fletchers’ has no personnel department, which for a company that employes 725 staff in its retail network and 25 in Head Office, the Authority found shocking.

Following the investigation, the Authority found that none of the staff have job descriptions or contracts of employment. There’s no formal grievance, disciplinary procedures in place nor are there any policies relating to staff performance, conduct etc. Staff doing similar work are all being paid different rates. In fact, the Authority are of the opinion that, not only are staff being treated as disposable items, Fletchers, are in breach of numerous pieces of employment legislation.

They have issued Fletchers with a warning that if the highlighted issues are not rectified criminal proceedings will commence. The Authority have recommended that Fletchers employ an external consultant to assist in overseeing the necessary changes.

O’Malley has objected to the findings of the Authority and is unwilling to address the issues as he feels it would be a waste of money and he cannot see the benefit of employing a HR Manager. Use APA referencing style.

Assurance — Power BI Problem

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Assurance — Power BI Problem

Scenario (90 minutes)

Hannaford’s General Store Ltd. (HGL) is a small, family-owned hardwarde store in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It has a small customer base that tends to place regular orders. You, CPA, have just been assigned as the audit senior on the inaugural HGL audit for the period ended December 31, 2018. Previously, HGL had reviews completed by your firm. As senior, you will be responsible for dealing with accounts where professional judgment is required, including accounts that require management estimation. The first account you are to analyze is the allowance for doubtful accounts. HGL has provided you with an electronic copy of its account receivable log for the past two years to help you determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is appropriate. HGL’s policy is to record an allowance equal to 3% of outstanding receivable balances at year end. At December 31, 2018, HGL has recorded an allowance of $1,040. The dataset provided contained the following fields:

Assurance — Power BI Problem

CustomerID: Unique identifier for each customer

Invoice Number: Invoice number for sales made on credit

InvoiceDate: Date of credit sale

DueDate: 30 days after the invoice date

YearEndDate: December 31, 2018

InvoiceAmount: Invoice amount (in Canadian dollars)

PaymentDate: Date invoice was paid

PaymentAmount: Amount paid

Outstanding: InvoiceAmount less PaymentAmount

DaysToSettle: Days elapsed between InvoiceDate and PaymentDate

DaysLate: Days elapsed between DueDate and PaymentDate (or YearEndDate if payment not received)

Assurance — Power BI Problem

Hints:

Your visualization has to be selected before you can work on it. To select your visualization, simply click on it in Power BI.
Using Microsoft’s Snipping Tool, you can easily capture an image of the specific visualization requested.

Task #1

Sales analysis

To begin your analysis of the allowance for doubtful accounts, it’s important to get a good understanding of HGL’s operations, including the magnitude of sales made on credit over the past two years and whether sales on credit are increasing or decreasing.

Create a card visualization for total sales.
Create a stacked column visualization for total sales by year.

Create a card visualization for number of customers.

Create a table displaying total sales by customer, followed by a cluster bar chart displaying each customer’s sales as a percentage of the total.
Create a table displaying total sales by customer for 2017 and 2018.
Create a card visualization for the number of invoices outstanding at year end.

Create a card visualization for the dollar value of the invoices outstanding at year end.

Submit your response to each using screenshots from Power BI and by following the steps outlined in Appendix I.

Assurance — Power BI Problem

Task #2

Customer analysis

One of the key concerns when evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts is a customer’s payment history. HGL’s accounting system tracked both the number of days taken to settle an invoice (DaysToSettle) and the number of days that the payment was late (DaysLate). As items sold in the last 30 days of the fiscal year are not “due” until the new year, it is reasonable to exclude these current items from our analysis of old invoices.

Create a table displaying all of the outstanding invoices at year end.
Create a table displaying all “late” outstanding invoices at year end.

Create a table that displays customers who regularly pay more than 180 days late.

Submit your response to each using screenshots from Power BI and by following the steps outlined in Appendix II

Task #3

Prepare a memo to the audit partner on the appropriateness of the allowance for doubtful accounts using the information you have gathered above. The partner may wish to discuss the allowance with HGL’s management, so be as specific as possible with your examples and state any assumptions you have made in your analysis. APA.

The Casual Furniture Company

By AssignmentHelp Blog

The Casual Furniture Company

The Casual Furniture Company (CFC) makes a variety of bookshelves for homes and businesses. The shelves come in various heights, widths, materials, and finishes. Effective requirements planning is essential for CFC’s performance, and it uses MRP for planning.

The MPS and MRP records are shown for one of CFC’s products, part number 4 × 3-01, a four-foot-high and three-foot-wide standard depth oak bookshelf. The BOM as a product structure diagram is shown in Figure 14-19.

FIGURE 14-19 Bookshelf 4 × 3-01 BOM

CFC uses one-week time buckets and a planning horizon of eight weeks. The MPS for the 4 × 3-01 Bookshelf is shown in Figure 14-20.

FIGURE 14-20 MPS Bookshelf 4 × 3-01

The Casual Furniture Company

The cabinets are built in the cabinet assembly department and the shelves, backs, sides, and ends are made in the cutting department. The component lot size, lead time, available inventory and safety stock are shown in Figure 14-21. Two associates work in the cutting department, making the available capacity 80 hours per week, without overtime. The processing time for each component in the cutting department is shown in Figure 14-22. Also note that there is a scheduled receipt of 600 brackets in week 1 and a scheduled receipt of 1000 oak sheets in week 1. APA.

FIGURE 14-21 Component Lot Size and Inventory Information

FIGURE 14-22 Cutting Department Processing Time

The Casual Furniture Company

Questions

Develop the MRP for all of the components.
During week 1 of the plan, the bracket supplier notifies CFC that the order for 600 units will not arrive as planned. Instead, 300 will arrive this week and 300 will arrive next week, instead of all 600 arriving at the same time. Will this affect production and, if so, to what extent?
Now that the plan has been developed, is it feasible to consider the capacity of the cutting department? What recommendations do you have?
If you could change the lead times or lot-sizing policies used for any of the components, what changes would you make? Why?

What to Submit Worksheet:

Module Six Activity Worksheet Use this worksheet to help complete your assignment.

The staffing or personnel budget frequently comprises a significant portion of a medical unit’s operating budget. For this assignment, you will utilize historical data and assumptions to prepare a staffing budget for a 36-bed medical/surgical department.

Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Use these pro forma statements (assumptions):

The 8-hour shift model is used to define the workday.
One full-time employee (FTE) is equal to one employee (or a combination of employees), who work full time or 80 hours per 14-day pay period, or for a total of 2,080 hours per year.
The measurement of work is the average daily census at midnight, which is 30.
The unit needs to be staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The budgeted hours per patient day (HPPD) (or the average number of hours of care required over a 24-hour period) is 10.5.
The skills mix includes nurse managers (1.59% of total FTEs), registered nurses (54.41% of total FTEs), nursing technicians (42.0 % of total FTEs), and unit secretaries (2.0% of total FTEs).
Managers only work 8-hour dayshifts Monday through Friday.
For calculating FTEs, assume 1.4 is the constant. It represents the 7 days in a week with an FTE working five days per week. (Note: 7 divided by 5 = 1.4).
For the next step in calculating FTEs, assume that 1.14 is a constant, which includes 0.14 for nonproductive time, which could represent illness, sick time, personal time, or professional development for each 1.0 FTE.
