In an approximately 500-word response, address the following issues/questions:

Cash is the lifeblood of any business, and without it survival is very unlikely.

• Do you agree or disagree?
• Explain what information a statement of cash flows provides to supplement a statement of financial position and an income statement.
• Why is there still some controversy surrounding published statements of cash flows?
• How important are such statements in terms of the financial reporting requirements within YOUR country?

a) What types of files might you want to copy to the cloud? Why would you copy files to
the cloud instead of copying them to an external storage device?

b) How does the access time of storage compare with the access time of memory?

c) End user programs are designed for specific functions such as word processing or a
game. You have installed a new piece of applications software onto a stand-alone PC.
You then find that the printer attached to the PC fails to produce what can be seen on
screen in that package. Explain clearly why this might happen.

A- It's possible that the contradicting factors may have happened because of how the Leadership Award was awarded. Looking at the outside of the business, they do have impressive numbers with Minorities and Women, as they have a high percentage of Leadership roles in the company. The EEOC would look at individuals in the business like they did in this case.

B- Companies need to understand that people will always age and the people in their leadership positions will continue. L'Oreal needs to look at how time changes, but also keep their older customers. I think they could still do television advertisement as the Older generation doesn't using social media as much compared to the newer generation.

1. (Managing Diversity in Org. Discussion )

The state of Virginia has implemented a Standard of Learning (SOL) test that all public school students must pass before they can graduate from high school. A passing grade is 75. Montgomery County High School administrators want to gauge how well their students might do on the SOL test, but they don’t want to take the time to test the whole student population. Instead, they selected 20 students at random and gave them the test. The results are as follows:
83    79    56    93
48    92    37    45
72    71    92    71
66    83    81    80
58    95    67    78

Assume that SOL test scores are normally distributed.

1. Compute the mean and standard deviation for these dat
2. Determine the probability that a student at the high school will pass the test.
3. How many percent of students will receive a score between 75 and 95?
4. What score will put a student in the bottom 15% in SOL score among all students who take the test?
5. What score will put a student in the top 2% in SOL score among all students who take the test?

You are in a reunion of high school classmates. There is much food, and the drinks flow freely. Many of your classmates join the sciences and engineering fields; some have become doctors, others are lawyers, and still other are entrepreneurs. You alone joined the accountancy profession. Consider the following: 1. Gelai, a classmate since grade school (now a doctor) commended on your line of work: " I don't know anything about how an auditor perform his/her work. It seems that there is no scientific approach to the process." She continued, "all I know is that you auditors are on the lookout for fraud...other auditors prepare income tax returns for us professionals." 2. Lotlot, one of your teammates in spelling competition, is now a high-school teacher. She says, "audits? It's not surprising that you became an accountant...auditor...whatever. With all your talents in mathematics..." 3. Owell is now a lawyer. He was the class salutatorian, and has a very competitive nature. He heard Lotlot's remarks and said, "My friend,as class valedictorian you should have joined a more useful profession! Look at me. I serve the public. Look at you... audits? Bah! They are NOT productive. An audit has nothing to do with GNP or the public interest. Rather than create value, auditors like you simply check on someone what someone else has done." Requirement: Each situation illustrates a common misconception about accountants and auditor. Prepare a proper reply to each classmate.

Can you solve it for me plz?

‘Lakeside Manufacturing’ is a boating company that specializes in sailboats for sailing schools and Jules Paulson is the owner of the company. His lead foreman and second in command is Kevin Hill. There are a small core group of 15 employees who are fulltime and experienced in their trade and sailing. Unfortunately, over the summertime, the permanent employees like to take their vacation so they can go sailing. ‘Lakeside Manufacturing’ makes sure that at any given time over the summertime period, only 25% of the permanent staff are away at any given time so that 75% are still doing their usual jobs. This has worked to some extent; however, there are times the company feels short staffed.

Last year, Kevin had an idea that over the summer, they could hire some seasonal workers to do the work of those who are away. Kevin spoke to Jules and said that maybe they could hire students from the local university during the summer to do some of the tasks. Part of the requirement was that they either should have some boating experience or be able to know some of the woodworking or electrical work. Summer last year, it did not work so well because the students started and were randomly placed to fill gaps among the teams where the full-time employees were away on vacation. There were some challenges and tensions that would arise because the students were not as skilled at the work that the experienced employees were. Added to that, the students would have headphones on while working, taking texting moments or take breaks when they felt like and had a different perspective and attitude about the work. This annoyed some of the older experienced workers.

This year, Kevin thought that he would hire 10 students over the summer but instead of having them integrate into the work that was being done by the older more senior workers, he thought that it might be better to have all the 10 students in one team and separate from the experienced workers who were there and somewhat annoyed by the behaviour of the students. Kevin trained the students and was their liaison so that any questions or problems would be answered by him. A number of the students came back from last year so that the training was not too difficult. He also outlined what they needed to do and was less rigid on breaks and how the work was done, except that things had to be completed with care, quality and on time.

As the summer went on, the students got very good at their tasks because they were good with technology and also knew that if they would finish early, they could have free time. A healthy rivalry and competition started to emerge between the experienced workers and the students. It was productive and things were working out…for a while. Eventually, the student employees would say how fast they could work, and the older employees were slower. It was also not uncommon for the students to head over to where the older employees were working and make comments, which started to make the more experienced employees annoyed. The organization started to see two camps of employees instead of everyone working together.

Now, instead of everyone working together and feeling like they were part of ‘Lakeside Manufacturing’, both sides were either making fun of the other side or hiding tools and supplies from the other side so it would slow the other side down. It was starting to get out of hand and the owner, Jules Paulson, called Kevin Hill in to his office and said that he thinks that it might be better to not have the two sides and it might be better to just break both sides up and reassign the teams so they were all working together. Kevin thought that this might not be a good idea because he was pretty sure most, if not all, of the students would quit. Kevin has called you for your advice and thoughts on how to resolve this situation.

a) Apply some concepts from the course to explain what is going on at ‘Lakeside Manufacturing

b) Take a position on if the teams should be broken up or not and explain why

c) Based on your answer in (b) what do you recommend helping improve the situation

• What organizational changes have the companies made in the last 5 years? What do you believe prompted those changes?
• In looking back at the changes the companies made, what do you believe would have happened if the employees had resisted the change?
• What steps should a company take to minimize the risk of resistance to change by the employees?
