Subject: ConnexCable The Nation’s Largest Cable TV Producer - Price Increases

Dear Mr. Singh,

As the nations leading producer of cable entertainment ConnexCable have been working continuous to bring you the highest quality programming and cable features. Because many next generation technology features are available at this point in time we are investing in them to make sure of the fact you have more programming choices and improvements in customer service.

Some of the recent improvements include a main dashboard layed out in a tile format. This will give you direct access to recorded and bookmarked shows as well as access to Facebook, Pandora, and additional online media. There are voice command. On your remote control, so you can search for shows, movies, web videos. Our new system is four times faster then the current model and uses less energy then other cable boxes, which is why we are raising the prices.

These improvements, when combined with the rising costs of doing business and escalating programming charges has increased our operating budget. Although we are forced you raise your price, in selected packages, adjustments are small and cost of programs (some) actually really declines.

If you receive the Basic Cable package you wont see a price increase. Depending on where you live that package will remain at the price of $23 to #28 per motnh. If you receive the Digital Economy package you will see a rate decline, depending on you’re package this decline will range from eight cents to ten dollars per month.

A complete schedule showing rate adjustments are encolosed. Although the cost is going up, you get the best in voice, video, and data transmission. We offer exceptional value and entertainment. We appreciate your loyalty and money.

Sincerely,

Diana

On the other hand, multiple projects were designed to improve the country`s infrastructure by upgrading transportation, housing, cities infrastructures, environment, healthcare, economic, education, security and social environment. The successful accomplishment of the Program objectives result in numerous jobs opportunities for citizens, and reinforce the economic growth by allowing various incomes sources.

Read the passage thoughtfully, look online to familiarize yourself with the program aspects, you will notice that many projects related to the program are already in process. Finally, answer the following questions, be aware that there is no one right answer as long as you defend your opinion with critical analyzes and use the materials covered in the class.

( 1 point )

3. Based on your understanding, what could be the most effective organizational structure (Hierarchical, matrix, cross-functional, product or process based structure) that can be used in order to organize the process of implementation, and why? ( 1 point )

You are free to use more than one structure suggestion, however defend your answer with thoughtful reasons.  

4. Using the quality planning functions that you have studied earlier this semester, who are the interned target in your chosen area (be specific), what are their needs? ( 1 point )

Case – Disney

Washington Post

“Comcast’s $65 Billion bid set up Disney Dual,” June 14, 2018

Steven Zeitchik

“Comcast made a $65 billion bid Wednesday for 21st Century Fox in what is expected to be the first of many attempts to buy up pieces of the entertain world after AT&T’s decisive legal victory over the government to buy Tim Warner. The offer sets up a battle of wills between two of the most dominant entertainment companies in the world – Walt Disney, which offered $52.4 billion for Fox last year, and Comcast, the nation’s leading cable company, which already owns Universal Studios and NBC.”

Comcast's offer, representing a 19% premium to Disney's all-stock offer, launches a bidding war for Fox studios and networks that both companies see as integral to becoming stronger competitors in a rapidly changing media landscape. "We firmly believe that the truly great media companies of the next century will be large, integrated entities with multiple growth engines across a wide swath of the global entertainment industry," Comcast CEO Brian L. Roberts said during a conference call late Wednesday. Comcast also offered to reimburse the $1.5 billion breakup fee Fox would have to pay Disney.

You work for the CEO of Disney. The question is now to bid or not to bid. Comcast just made an offer to acquire 21st Century Fox. Should Disney increase its bid to cover Comcast's offer? Please write a report suggesting a course of action to Disney (increase bid or withdraw), justifying your choices. If your choice is "withdraw", please provide other alternatives for Disney (e.g., what else they can do with the money they would spend on Fox). If your choice is "increase bid", please describe how you would manage the post-merger integration process.

Joe operates a business that locates and purchases specialized assets for clients, among other activities. Joe uses the accrual method of accounting but he doesn’t keep any significant inventories of the specialized assets that he sells. Joe reported the following financial information for his business activities during year 0.
Determine the effect of each of the following transactions on the taxable business income. (Select "No Effect" from the dropdown if no change in the taxable business income.)

f. Joe hired a new sales representative as an employee and sent her to Dallas for a week to contact prospective out-of-state clients. Joe ended up reimbursing his employee $460 for airfare, $510 for lodging, $410 for meals, and $310 for entertainment (Joe provided adequate documentation to substantiate the business purpose for the meals and entertainment). Joe requires the employee to account for all expenditures in order to be reimbursed.

g. Joe uses his BMW (a personal auto) to travel to and from his residence to his factory. However, he switches to a business vehicle if he needs to travel after he reaches the factory. Last month, the business vehicle broke down and he was forced to use the BMW both to travel to and from the factory and to visit work sites. He drove 200 miles visiting work sites and 78 miles driving to and from the factory from his home. Joe uses the standard mileage rate to determine his auto-related business expenses. (Round your answer to whole number. Use standard mileage rate.)

h. Joe paid a visit to his parents in Dallas over the Christmas holidays. While he was in the city, Joe spent $130 to attend a half-day business symposium. Joe paid $360 for airfare, $114 for meals during the symposium, and $68 on cab fare to the symposium.

Determine if it is (Amount of deduction, Amount of income, or No effect for each and the dollar figure associated).

b. Are the four monthly budgets that are presented prepared as static budgets or flexible budgets?

Static

c. Malloy can see that her present plan will not provide sufficient cash. If Malloy did not budget but went ahead with the original plan, she would be $ short at the end of December, with no time left to adjust.
