Developing a Flexible Budget

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Developing a Flexible Budget. Review the scenario and watch this week’s videos before you complete the activity below. This scenario can also be found in the “Problems – Series A” section 8-19A of Ch. 8, “Performance Evaluation” of Fundamentals of Managerial Accounting Concepts.

Scenario

The Redmond Management Association held its annual public relations luncheon in April Year 2. Based on the previous year’s results, the organization allocated $25,290 of its operating budget to cover the cost of the luncheon. To ensure that costs would be appropriately controlled, you, the treasurer, prepared the following budget for the Year 2 luncheon.

Use Excel—showing all work and formulas—to complete the following:

Prepare a flexible budget.

Compute the sales volume variance and the variable cost volume variances based on a comparison between the master budget and the flexible budget.

Compute flexible budget variances by comparing the flexible budget with the actual results.

Mr. Snow was extremely upset with the budget deficit. He immediately called you, the treasurer, to complain about the budget variance for the meal cost. He told you that the added dessert caused the meal cost to be $4,810 ($25,110-$20,300) over budget. He added, “I could expect a couple hundred dollars one way or the other, but several thousand is totally unacceptable. At the next budget meeting of the budget committee, I want you to explain what happened.” Developing a Flexible Budget.

Create a 6- to 8-slide presentation for the budget committee meeting. Complete the following in your presentation:

Summarize the results of the sales volume and variable cost volume variances computations based on the comparison between the master budget and the flexible budget.

Summarize the results of the flexible budget variances computations based on the comparison between the flexible budget and the actual results. Justify the favorable or unfavorable budget variances.

Since this is a not-for-profit organization, address why anyone should be concerned with meeting the budget.

Developing a Flexible Budget. Make recommendations for what can be done differently to stay on budget for future luncheons. Provide specific examples to support your recommendations.

Cite references to support your assignment.

Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

Business Law & Ethics

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Business Law & Ethics. Refer to section “The WH Framework for Business Ethics” of Ch. 2, “Business Ethics” of Dynamic Business Law for information on the WH Framework. Review the scenario and complete the activity below. This scenario can also be found in the “Questions & Problems” section of Ch. 2, “Business Ethics” in Dynamic Business Law.

Scenario

Steven J. Trzaska was the head of L’Oreal USA’s regional patent team, managing the procedure by which the company patented products. As an attorney barred in Pennsylvania, Trzaska had to adhere to professional rules of conduct established by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in addition to rules promulgated by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In 2014, L’Oreal S.A., the French parent company of L’Oreal USA, enacted a global quota of patent applications each regional office had to file each year. Employees were informed that failure to meet the quota would negatively impact their careers and even their continued employment at L’Oreal. Meanwhile, L’Oreal USA simultaneously enacted a rule to increase the quality of patent applications filed with the USPTO. The second rule led to a decrease in number of patents that could be filed with the USPTO. Trzaska’s team would not be able to fulfill the patent quota.

Faced with the problem, Trzaska informed management that his team would not file patents that they did not believe in good faith were patentable. Several weeks after Trzaska’s meeting with the management, he was offered 2 severance packages that he did not accept. Finally, Trzaska was let go. Trzaska subsequently sued L’Oreal, alleging that he was fired for refusal to violate ethical rules that regulate the legal profession. Business Law & Ethics.

Create a WH Framework chart, similar to Exhibit 2.2. Refer to L’Oreal’s core values and the primary values in Exhibit 2.3 to determine the guidelines to include in the WH Framework.

Write an explanation of how you decided on the list of stakeholders and guidelines to include in your WH Framework. Address the following questions in your explanation:

Which stakeholders did Traszka and the management of L’Oreal cater to? Why?

What values did L’Oreal’s management choose when they made the decision to fire Trzaska? Why?

Self-Reflection

Business Law & Ethics. In addition to your explanation, address the following self-reflection questions:

How did the WH Framework help you analyze the situation?

Now that you’ve put together the framework, how does the WH Framework help managers with making business decisions?

What type of decisions would the WH Framework chart help you make as a manager? Use APA referencing style.

Reviewing Affordable Care Act

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Reviewing Affordable Care Act. Since the Affordable Care Act became the law of the land, there has been much written concerning its ongoing economic impact on our nation’s economy. There have also been many sound reports that few of the benchmarks set for it have ever been reached. Both good and bad has been reported concerning this massive legislation. Now that we have had a long history with the “ACA” we have started to see its impact first hand. The heated debate regarding what to do next with it has been ongoing and recently overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Politicians are not economists, and are not always known for making sound financial choices. Some have argued that the government neglected to listen to its own economists, the Congressional Budget Office when it passed this bill into law.

Instructions

Using the economic principles which you have learned throughout the semester, write an amendment to, or a replacement for the Affordable Care Act. The changes you create will need to accomplish the original stated goals of the Affordable Care Act.

For those of you who cannot remember what they were, here is a quick recap:

Reviewing Affordable Care Act. Bring down the overall cost of health care as it related to GDP. Provide health care services for the entire population. Provide a full prescription drug benefit for the elderly. Expand the entire scope of health care services. As an economist it is your choice what to do next. You may replace or repair the system at will, but will need to explain why and how. This is not an attack on the President personally, and as such please keep the political rhetoric out of your paper. Also keep faith out of it. The argument that “this will work” if we get everyone to believe in it, is both foolish and dangerous. Use APA referencing style.

National Health Expenditure

By AssignmentHelp Blog

National Health Expenditure. We have discussed the level of NHE in the United States and looked to some degree at how much money is being spent for care by various service categories such as hospitals and physicians. Click here to view and study the NHE data for selected calendar years between 1970 and 2003 and for selected service categories (with the exception of the catch-all category of “other”) (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], n.d.). Answer the following questions:

Examine the trends in expenditures for the service categories presented in the table. What is the magnitude and direction of spending changes within and across each of these categories: the percentage of GDP spent on NHE and the NHE per capita. What can you say about how the price of medical care services changes? As you think about what you might say, realize that the figures have been adjusted for inflation. Also, assume that not all increases in healthcare costs are caused by increases in utilization.

Examine the rates of growth in the service categories (except the category “other”). What trends do you see in the mix of healthcare services used by the US public? What factors might contribute to these trends?

Types of Unemployment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Types of Unemployment. Here are four individuals telling you their stories of how they became unemployed. In a multi-paragraph essay, apply the theories of unemployment to explain the type of unemployment that each of these individuals is facing and explain which of these individuals qualifies for unemployment benefits:

1) Two months ago, Marcelle used to work full time in an automobile manufacturing firm. “The factory where I used to work has closed because our market contracted so much, and so I was laid off. This is happening to people all over the country-all you see in the papers is that economic growth has fallen and incomes across the country have fallen. I have been looking very hard for a new job, but have had no luck yet.”

2) Until last week, Dominic used to work full time as a hair-dresser in downtown Cincinnati. “I decided to quit my job, because I want to move to New York City.”

3) Until last month, Francine worked part time at a ski resort. “Well, it is summer now, and so the resort is closed. I will apply again in the winter when the snow is back. I am not interested in working until then.”

4) Two months ago, Beauvoir had been working full time as a secretary. “I was a good typist, but I don’t know how to use a computer. My boss wanted to upgrade the office to computers, and so I was replaced by someone who is computer-savvy. I have been looking for another job, but it appears that I need to learn some computer skills.”

Types of Unemployment. Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English.
Use APA referencing style.

Social Responsibility – Company Relocation

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Social Responsibility – Company Relocation. A company is considering the possibility of moving its manufacturing plant and administrative offices from a small city in the American Midwest to another of similar size in the South. Approximately 20 percent of the city’s residents are employed by the company, and many others are employed in businesses such as banks, personal services, restaurants, malls and supermarkets that would see a decline in business if the company decides to relocate. Does the company have the social responsibility to take into account in its decision the impact that its relocation would have on the city? Explain your reasoning. Service companies tend to have more planning difficulties than manufacturers. However, services have certain advantages that the manufacturing industry does not usually have. Explain the difficulty of planning services, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Establishing Clinical Partnerships

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Establishing Clinical Partnerships. You will focus on developing clinical partnerships. In your text, Teaching in Nursing and the Role of the Nurse Educator, the authors examine several different types of clinical partnerships and models of clinical education. Clinical partnerships must meet the needs of the educational institution and the clinical agency. Colleges of nursing often compete for the same clinical slots and are dependent on effective clinical partnerships. Sustaining good relationships are critical to providing optimal learning experiences for students. There is typically a clinical coordinator at the college and another at the clinical agency. The nurses in these leadership positions have the primary responsibility for negotiating partnerships and determining clinical placement.

Put yourself in the place of one of these two individuals (academic or agency coordinator), whichever you prefer. Conduct research to better learn the roles, responsibilities, and challenges of the position. In addition to the book, which is fairly theoretical, find articles that might direct you in a more practical way as you negotiated clinical partnerships from either position. Sources: You can use any of the posted articles and your books as references. Find at least two additional peer-reviewed nursing journal articles that relate to your area of focus. Use APA referencing style.
