The legitimacy of an individual’s position in the organization provides him/her Authority. Whereas Power is an individual’s capacity to influence decisions. The ethical use of power expands on a leader’s ability to influence. Review these Leadership Power Types and choose one to profile for this writing assignment. Choose one (or more) Power Type and provide examples of the type as it relates to influence as a leader. Use references to support your submitted material. Do you know someone who exhibited this Power Type – a boss, a spouse, a parent? Or do you recognize this Power Type in someone well-known in American History, Industry, Commerce, or Government?

The school district recently adopted the use of e-textbooks, and the superintendent is interested in determining the level of satisfaction with e-textbooks among students and if there is a relationship between the level of satisfaction and student classification. The superintendent selected a sample of students from one high school and asked them how satisfied they were with the use of e-textbooks. The data that were collected are presented in the following table.

Table 1: Student Classification (N=128)

Questions

1. Of the students that were satisfied, what percent were Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior? (Round your final answer to 1 decimal place).

2. State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis.

3. What is the value of the chi-square statistic?

4. What are the reported degrees of freedom?

5. What is the reported level of significance?

6. Based on the results of the chi-square test of independence, is there an association between e-textbook satisfaction and academic classification?

7. Present the results as they might appear in an article.

This must include a table and narrative statement that reports and interprets the results of the analysis. Note: The table must be created using your word processing program. Tables that are copied and pasted from SPSS are not acceptable.

After reading newspapers and journal articles and using wider research platforms such as the Australian Taxation Office Rulings on the subject of Taxing of Cryptocurrency and how governments are going to start tackling this issue you should be able to form an opinion to whether the policing of cryptocurrency will be effective or will it be a difficult task for revenue authorities.
For this area of the assessment you need to explain
a) What is Cryptocurrency and how does it work?
b) How is Cryptocurrency taxed within Australia at the moment?
c) What are revenue authorities doing going forward to ensure that it is correctly taxed within their own regions?
d) What is your opinion of the measures being taken by the tax authorities to ensure that they catch all the taxpayers partaking in the cryptocurrency world, will it be successful or will it be difficult to police? This area is based about your opinion so you need to ensure that you give us your own personal views of the topic and not a summary of the articles you have collected in part one of the assessment task.
The requirements of the assignment for part two is to produce a 1500 word essay on your opinion of this topic which should be based on your findings from the Australian newspapers you have collected and any other research you may want to undertake, please do not just provide a detailed summary of the articles you have included in Part 1

Fraud case - A USA public company doing business in Freedonia (a made up name from another Marx Brothers movie!) is compelled to bribe local officials in order to be the first to receive a business license for a certain type of industry there. The competition is fierce, but local government officials have unabashedly spread the word that under the table bribery payments to them from the USA company can seal the deal and that's why the USA company is feeling the pressure to participate in the bribe. This would be a violation of the FCPA.

The USA company participates in the fraud, bribing the government officials sufficiently to get the license first, before their competition. The payments are on the books, but hidden, so to speak, in order to get the tax deduction. The payments are cleverly disguised in the expense accounts to appear as normal expenditures. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), we saw that a key to reducing the penalty is through keeping books and records that are clean and transparent

You are the USA government investigator searching for the fraud after the US government has been tipped off that the fraud happened in Freedonia.

1. What income statement expense accounts would you research for evidence of bribery payments being made even though not so indicated as bribery payments?
2. What type of evidence would you be looking to gather to prove the case?

Determine the positive real root of ln(x^2)=0.8 by the following methods. (Note that you need to show the details of your derivations in MATLAB).

a) Graphically ( plot the function and copy your figure to word).

b) Using two iterations of the bisection method with initial guesses of xl=0.4 and xu=2 and populate the following table. What is the root after two iterations? Provide justification for the values you have obtained in your MATLAB code as comments.

i xl xu xr

1 0.4 2

2

c) Using two iterations of the false position method, with the same initial guesses as in b) and populate the table below. What is the root after two iterations? Provide justification for the values you have obtained in your MATLAB code as comments.

i xl xu xr

1 0.4 2

2   

d) Compute the actual root of the function (use a built in MATLAB function) and identify which method (bisection or false position) achieves a better estimate of the root after two iterations. Prove your answer by calculating the True Percentage Error ( Assume that your answer in part d, obtained using the MATLAB Built in Function is the true value ). ALL Calculations must be performed in MATLAB.
