The play Macbeth presents two characters, Macbeth and Banquo, who are both given prophecies by the Weird Sisters. The two men react in vastly different ways to their given fates. Whose course of action does the play seem to deem "correct"? Does either man react "correctly," based on their eventual fates? If you believe neither chose the correct path, create an argument for what they should have done. If you believe one of the two reacted correctly, create an argument as to why you believe that. Pull quotes from the play and use in-text citations to support your answer.

You should have a basic knowledge of how a ratio is used both personally and professionally. If you have ever applied for a credit card or a loan, you have had your credit profile reviewed and you had to tell the organization how much money you made. They then used this information to perform a ratio to determine if you qualify for the loan. The lender wants to know if you can afford the loan.

This same principal is applied to businesses. The financial information can be obtained from a health care organization by reviewing their financial statements, which can tell a lender if the organization is making enough money to take on the debt associated with a loan.

Discussion Question:

Financial institutions and investors utilize ratios to determine the financial viability of a business. Therefore, it is important for a manager to understand the use and calculation of ratios. In you initial response, include Part 1 and Part 2:

PART 1:

RATIOS

Current Ratio (Liquidity Ratio)

PART 2:

In addition, give an example of how you would you use one of the financial ratios in your personal finances.

Make sure your initial response is at least a 175- to 265-word count.

APA Formatting: Use citations where appropriate and list the associated references. All citations and references, if used, must be in APA format.

Guided Response:

First identify the countries your mentor marketer does business in. Or did. Check out the corporate website. Or the latest annual report.

Then search your brand in business periodicals such as Forbes in conjunction with country names or terms like “foreign” or “international.” See which markets have been written about and select one.

When did your mentor marketer enter this foreign market?

What specific challenges did entering this market present? (e.g., cultural norms, language barriers, local competition, government regulations, economic conditions, etc.). Identify at least three.

What changes were made to the marketing formula in entering this market? What other changes were needed? Cite at least three examples, linking each one to a marketing "p." You can repeat "Ps" more than once.

How successful was the entry into this market? Is the brand still in the market?

Try to explore different types of sources (periodicals, videos, annual report, etc.). Tap the Forbes archive and other Ashford University resources as needed.

As you will be creating a podcast, in-line citations are not required, but you will need to document your sources.

Be sure to introduce yourself and identify your mentor marketer and the relevant market before answering the questions above.

Throughout history, research in the physical sciences has often been limited by our abilitiesof safely observing and studying the very phenomenon in question. As we make technological progress, we have increasingly more tools to expand our observational capabilities. Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you: Part 1: Procedures in the Physical Sciences: Challenges in Measurements Identify three (3) specific challenges to making direct measurements in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, physics, or earth science. Describe how scientists have utilized indirect forms of measure to overcome these challenges. Choose two (2) of the most historically influential tools or techniques in the physical sciences. Explain how these techniques or tools work, and how they helped to advance our understanding of the physical sciences. Part 2: Procedures in the Physical Sciences: A Survey of Safety Choose one (1) hazard associated with research in the physical sciences. Discuss how protective gear or equipment might be used to mitigate the hazard, as well as its efficacy. Describe the ways in which advancements in the physical sciences might impact the safety of the global community. Assess any special considerations for regulating this research. Part 3: Documentation Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. The body of the paper must have in-text citations that correspond to the references. Integrate all sources into your paper using proper techniques of quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing, along with proper use of in-text citations to credit your sources.
