Assignment Questions:
Assume that you are preparing Galore Ltd’s yearly allowance for doubtful debts based on 2% of net credit sales, which will potentially result in 10% growth rate. The managing director, Ms Sharon Shady (Sharon), suggested you to increase the allowance for doubtful debts to 4% in order to achieve a 5% growth rate. Sharon said to you that: “we do not want our shareholders to expect our company to sustain a 10% growth every year rather, a 5% growth rate is more sustainable for our company.”
You are required to conduct research (i. e. reviewing relevant accounting standards and policies as well as academic and professional journals) and write a business report by addressing the below questions.
Please note:
The total marks of this assignment are 50 (i. e. 10 marks for Part A, 20 marks for Part B, 10 marks for organization and clarity, and 10 marks for grammar, mechanics, formatting and referencing), then your marks will be converted to 10% towards your overall assessment. Refer to the detailed marking rubric on page 3.

A crucial starting point to develop an effective disaster recovery plan is to develop an efficient Business Impact Analysis (BIA). The BIA evaluates the potential effect of interruptions to an organization’s critical business operations; therefore, it is an essential component of the process as it highlights system or functional vulnerabilities and conveys processes or strategies to minimize the impact of the incident. This week you will conduct a BIA for an organization. The organization can be a real company of your choice or a fictitious entity. The purpose is to have you engage and actively thinking about some of the components that are required to develop an effective BIA to guide disaster recovery planning efforts. Briefly, provide some background about your company. Who is the company, its stakeholders, and the services it offers? Identify one critical business operation or core process. What is the maximum allowable outage time for the operation or process? What technology, personnel, or other resources are required to support the process or operation? Identify at least three inputs and three outputs for the identified operation or process. Elaborate on each of the inputs and outputs dependencies. Are there any regulatory or legal ramifications due to the function or process outage? If so, what are they? If not, explain why. While the process or function is inoperable, what viable temporary solution do you propose to address the situation? What benefits will all that you have described have on the organization? What disadvantages will all that you describe have on the organization? While the activity is based on either a real or a fictitious company, your submission must still adhere to APA guidelines; include academic or reputable industry sources, in-text citations to support your claims, and a reference list.

Consequences of Poverty in the United States
The consequences of poverty are far reaching and multifaceted. Sociologists often try to understand the complex and interrelated ways that poverty adversely affects people’s lives along a number of dimensions. Reflect on what you have learned about the impact of poverty as you watch the following video.

One problem addressed by the video is a lack of food, clothing, and medical care among the students at Whitney Elementary. With the help ofincreased government assistance , the principal created programs to help poor and homeless students get the basic supplies they needed. In her view, many of these problems have been worsened by .
Research shows that children enduring poverty, like those at Whitney Elementary, are more likely to:
Encounter stressful family environments and health problems that can hinder academic performance
Excel in school due to higher levels of motivation to escape poverty
If Charlie grows up to remain poor as an adult, her experience would be illustrative of intergenerational poverty. This problem draws the attention of sociologists because it can lead to an underclass of people who are:
Persistently poor and disadvantaged along many social dimensions
Poor for only a short time but require a great deal of government aid
Another consequence of poverty is a lack of political power among the poor. Studies show that they are much less likely to vote than the wealthy, in part because of political alienation that:
Makes them feel powerless and estranged from government
Allows them to trust the free market to solve their economic problems

Your task is to develop quantified Risk models of two Risks of
interest to you. This is an academic
exercise and its purpose is to make you familiar with the process
of quantified Risk modelling and
to show me you understand the theory and the practice.
a) Write up each Risk as a case study that explains the Risk in
detail and describes the proposed
control measures.
b) Estimate/judge the values that could realistically be given to
the various parameters relevant to
modelling Risk and explain your reasoning to me. Don’t spend
inordinate amounts of time
trying to justify any of the values that have to be
estimated/judged in order to complete the task
(eg. does a death cost $3M or is it $3.2M? Is the Exposure 20 times
a year or 18?). However,
ensure that you do have justification for the values you use as I
am not interested in you simply
using a number with no justification.
c) Use your spreadsheet to estimate the position of the Risk line,
using any necessary “reality
checks”. In other words, justify or even make a clear statement of
the inadequacies of what
you have done and the need for further investigation. Estimate the
Risk value.
d) Propose a possible control measure change/improvement and
estimate the associated
implications for productivity, recurrent costs and/or capital
requirements. I am well aware
these may based on judgement unless you have a close knowledge of a
particular case.
e) Provide me with an explanation of the anticipated effect of this
proposed control measure on
each of the parameters that determine Risk and use this to justify
a reduction in the Risk value
estimated before this improved control measure is applied.
f) Use this to estimate the effect of the improved control measure
on one or both (as appropriate)
of recurrent costs and payback period.

My name is Aman and i did my Bachelor of Arts and B.ed first then i completed Masters of English Literature and D.ed. I have two years teaching experience in college as an assistant lecturer.
The instructions are below:
For this Intellectual Autobiography (should not be copied/ Strictly Please 800-1200 WORDS), I would like you to reflect on your life as a learner, thinker, and scholar. It is an opportunity for you to reflect upon and articulate the circumstances and events that brought you to where you are today, in graduate school. In general, I would like to know more about:
Your academic background, not just your credentials and your institution(s), but also the topics of interest that you have explored, your research and scholarship experience, and your overall experience as a student. You could write about your identity as a student, how your personal identities are meaningful to your experiences as a student and your “relationship” with learning, and your perspective on your role as a student in relation to professors. Broadly, you could address this question: How do you perceive your role as a student? What are the cultural / social origins of those perceptions?
1 What interests you academically? What aspects of the world have intrigued or confused you that you have explored, or would like to explore?
2 What brought you here? What circumstances led you to choose graduate school – at Lakehead University, of all places.
3 Your expectations for graduate school, meaning what you expect to contribute to it and what you hope to gain from it. Again, do not focus on the credential. Focus on the experience.
Use “I” and “me”.

You and seven other dietetic interns are embarking on a journey to Guatemala for a four-week community rotation. Each semester for the past three years, students from your university have been visiting the same village through Friends World and have done constructive projects, such as building a small schoolhouse and a church and cultivating a garden. This is the first year the dietetic interns will participate, with a focus on nutrition. The dietetic internship director will also attend to supervise; she is fluent in Spanish (the primary language of Guatemala), as are four of the eight interns. In the village there is a high incidence of dehydration from diarrhea and undernutrition. Most infants are formula-fed because there is little support for breastfeeding and a lack of knowledge about this practice. The goal of this rotation is to provide nutrition education on UNICEF’s Child Survival campaign called GOBI (an acronym for the following elements of the UNICEF campaign: growth charts, oral rehydration therapy, breast milk, and immunization). UNICEF has initiated this program in many developing countries and will be setting up GOBI within the year in the Guatemalan village you will be visiting. Another goal of your rotation is to identify data that could be useful for a nutritional assessment and monitoring tool for the children of this village.
questions
1. Access the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Which goals from the MDG and SDG are related to the GOBI program?
2. Create a list of data that will be useful to include in a nutritional assessment of the children in this village.
3 .Describe some barriers that you and your group may encounter in delivering your nutrition messages relative to the GOBI program to the local population.
4. Select an element of GOBI (growth charts, oral rehydration therapy, breast milk, or immunization) that you and your fellow interns would view as a priority during your four weeks in the Guatemalan village and create a nutrition diagnosis using a PES statement. Include your rationale for choosing this elemen
5.Describe intervention strategies that you might utilize with the Guatemalan community for the element of GOBI that you selected
6. Establish a plan for monitoring and evaluating the outcomes of the GOBI element you selected that coincides with your nutrition diagnosis.
