  • Head of Household Filing Status

    Scenario

    Janice Traylor is single and has an 18-year-old son, Marty, who has lived with her his entire life. This year, Marty joined the Marines and was sent on a special assignment to Australia for nine months. Although he was homesick, he knew the assignment was temporary.

    Janice has always filed as head of household, with Marty as her qualifying child. However, this year shes unsure whether she still qualifies due to Martys temporary absence. Shes come to you for guidance.

    Your Task

    • Research the requirements for head of household filing status and the qualifying child tests, including exceptions for temporary absences.
    • Write a professional response advising Janice on whether she qualifies for head of household this year. Be sure to explain your reasoning and reference the rules that apply.

    Submission Guidelines

    • Your response should be at least one page and written in your own words (no AI-generated content, no plagiarism).
    • Include properly cited sources and a Works Cited page.
    • Submit your completed assignment as a Microsoft Word document through the assignment link.

    Think of yourself as Janices trusted tax advisor. How can you clearly explain the rules so she understands her options and feels confident in her filing status?

    Description

    Assignment Details

    For this assignment, elaborate on the progress that you have made toward mastering the literature related to the topic and subtopics of your proposed research study. You should have approximately 50 annotations from your first year and additional notes or annotations resulting from your independent work in core and concentration courses in your second year of the program.

    As a reminder, all Individual Project (IP) assignments must be submitted in the appropriate dissertation template (qualitative, quantitative, action research, and design science). Go to the , and choose the template that is most aligned with your intended research approach. If you are unsure of or have concerns about your methodology or design at this time, consult with your instructor to receive guidance in this area and help choosing the correct template. Read the template, and pay particular attention to Chapters 1 and 2 because you will be adding content to these chapters as part of this IP.

    Part 1: Your Study Trio Considered (approximately 12 pages)

    In RSCH861, a key requirement of the Research Prospectus that enabled you to pass that course was the establishment of a well-aligned study trio (i.e., the research problem, the study purpose, and the central research question). Address the following:

    • First, insert your most recent trio elements into the appropriate Chapter 1 sections as part of this assignment.
    • Next, looking back at those trio elements, answer the following:
      • How has the literature that you have continued to study between RSCH861 and this current RSCH862 course propelled you to alter your trio elements?
      • If you have altered your trio, reflect in this part of your paper on why you made the specific changes you did.
      • If you have not altered your trio, reflect here on why.

    Part 2: Your Literature Review Plan (approximately 2 pages)

    In RSCH861, you produced your final Research Prospectus. An important element of the Research Prospectus is a section titled Review of the Literature Plan. In RSCH862, you will execute this plan as you begin to build the literature review for your dissertation project. Please review your Research Prospectus and refamiliarize yourself with the plan that you made at that time for conducting your literature review. If you received feedback from your RSCH861 instructor that your Review of the Literature Plan needed modification, be sure to incorporate that feedback into your paper and answer the following:

    1. As you have continued to work on your literature search since completing RSCH861, to what extent have you followed the literature review plan that you crafted as part of your Research Prospectus?
    2. If you have altered your original plan, how do you feel about this decision?
    3. To what degree have you mastered your study topic and relevant subtopics?
    4. What challenges may impact your ability to successfully complete a draft of your literature review this session that meets the milestone as required to advance to RSCH863?

    Before submitting your assignment, create an outline, write a draft based on this outline, run a Grammarly report on the draft, and edit or revise as necessary. Your submission should be the product of your own critical thinking and deductive reasoning.

    Please submit your assignment on Sunday of the unit (11:59:59pm Central Time).

  • Week 5 Discussion: Feasibility

    Introduction

    Greenwood and Levin (2007) stated:

    Action research (AR) is a cogenerative process through which professional researchers and interested members of a local organization, community, or specially created organization collaborate to research, understand, and resolve problems of mutual interest. Action research is a social process in which professional knowledge, local knowledge, process skills, research skills, and democratic values are the basis for cogenerated knowledge and social change. (p.115)

    The authors go on to describe the skills and abilities needed by the action researcher in order to successfully plan and carry out an action research process. The role of the researcher can be summed up through four major tasks:

    • Facilitator.
    • Educator.
    • Activist.
    • Advocate.

    Peter Park (1993) states, “The researcher participates in the struggle of the people . . . The researcher works with the community to help turn its felt but unarticulated problem into an identifiable topic of collective investigation” (Park, Brydon-Miller, Hall, & Jackson, p. 9).

    Stringer and Aragon (2021) discuss resistance to change as another issue that the researcher must deal with. This reality factors into the matter of viability/feasibility. Is the community open to change? If not, can the researcher navigate and demonstrate the rationale behind the change plan? Such is the nature of feasibility in action research studiesdoes the researcher have the skill to facilitate, educate, and advocate for the group? Can the researcher turn the communitys unarticulated problem into a research study?

    To determine the feasibility of an action research study, the following steps are followed:

    • A problem is identified by a researcher or the people experiencing the problem.
    • The problem is social in nature and calls for collective action to reach a solution.
    • The researcher may initiate a collective approach to problem, or the group experiencing the problem may seek out a researcher to assist them.

    Applying this litmus test to an identified problemit is social in nature and calls for collective action to reach a solutionhelps the researcher to determine if pursuing the study of this issue is feasible. In addition, it is important to envision the future desired state sought by the group or community through the study of this problem. Is that future state possible? Can this group collectively achieve the goals it seeks? Greenwood and Levin (2007) imply that all social problems have the potential for study and improvement through action research and encourage action researchers to create possibilities rather than enforce limits. Feasibility, then, rests with the skill of the researcher. Therefore, it becomes critical for action researchers to do a self-assessment of their skills to determine how well they are likely to do with the tasks of supporting an action research process. In this week, we explore the concept of feasibility by exploring and assessing our own skills. How ready to you feel to take on an action research process?

    ASSIGNMENT

    In Week 2, you submitted the central focus for a possible action research study along with a rationale for that study. Remind us about your topic by describing the study in a sentence or two and then talk about how you see the feasibility for such a study by applying the questions posed in this week’s overview:

    • A problem is identified by a researcher or the people experiencing the problem.
    • The problem is social in nature and calls for collective action to reach a solution.
    • The researcher may initiate a collective approach to problem, or the group experiencing the problem seeks out a researcher to assist them.

    What would it take to make this study happen?

  • Discussion 3

    Hello Class, We have reached Module #3 of the semester which focuses on Chapter 5: Manufacturing and Chapter 6: Integrated Operations Management. Chapter 5 goes in-depth on manufacturing for businesses and the quality imperative that is associated with it. Any time we purchase a product it has already been evaluated in areas that have explored their dimensions of quality, total quality management and tested against quality standards set forth by the company (and regulators). Major names in the business world (for example, Nike) implore manufacturing perspectives such as brand power, volume, variety, constraints and lead time. As mentioned in previous discussion boards, a strategy of manufacturing must be broached which could include the following: basic manufacturing processes, matching (strategy to requirements), alternative manufacturing strategies and evaluating the total cost of manufacturing. As manufacturing has evolved over the years businesses have become more proficient in areas such as mass customization, lean systems, flexible manufacturing, six sigma, requirements planning, design for manufacture and logistics. Chapter 6 discusses the importance of integrations operations planning. Supply chain planning must have visibility, simultaneous resource consideration and resource utilization. Applications of supply chain planning are many, but this chapter focuses on demand planning, production planning, logistics planning and inventory deployment. The S&OP (sales and operations planning) process is discussed in detail thus focusing on the process itself and how to go about making it work to a company’s benefit. The APS (advanced planning and scheduling) overview breaks down the various components of APS, as well as, exploring the supply chain planning benefits, the supply chain planning considerations and integrated business planning. Lastly, the all important topic of forecasting comes to light. There are 5 important aspects of forecasting: requirements, components, process, techniques and the all important accuracy of the practice. Once again, think of the pandemic and how forecasting could make or break a business. After you read chapters 5 & 6 in the textbook, please answer the following questions: Why would a company’s cost of manufacturing and procurement tend to increase as the firm changes from MTP to an MTO strategy? Why would inventory costs tend to decrease? (Page 115, Study Question #3) Describe the S&OP process. What are the major trade-offs that must be considered? (Page 145, Study Question #2)
