  • Ratio Analysis Discussion

    Discussion Prompt

    Overview:

    Please watch this video on limitations of Ratio Analysis:

    Instructions:

    After watching both videos, please answer the following questions:

    1. In the video, Jim walks through several key limitations in the areas of reliability, comparability, relying on only one data source, and using information based in the past. Which limitation do you feel is the most worrisome? What might you do to compensate for the limitation you identified?
    2. Outside of the four key areas of limitations, Jim also explores a number of key elements that ratios arent able to convey. What characteristics of a firm would you most want to know about if you were to invest that you would not be able to glean from ratios? How would you go about gathering that information if you cannot get it through financial statements and ratio analysis?

    Instructions

    For this Check-Up, you are acting as a counselor. You will find in your career that often you will need to provide more than medical advice; sometimes, you have to provide emotional support as well. In this case, you need to counsel your patient (Henok) about what he suspects he is experiencing.

    Henok is a 55-year-old male. He was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but has lived in the American South for the last 30 years. He has had a successful life as an industrial engineer and has made a very lucrative living. Henok got married when he was 45 years old and had twin boys when he was 47. He loves his wife and twin boys, but he is starting to feel restless and anxious, and he isn’t sure why. He signed up for a skydiving trip with his friends 2 weeks ago and loved it. Now, he wants to buy a motorcycle. He has come to you because he is experiencing chest pains. His EKG is normal, and all his bloodwork is normal. Everything points to him being physically healthy.

    You ask a few questions and find out the following information:

    • He hasn’t been sleeping well.
    • He thinks he is a failure.
    • He recently had his black hair bleached blonde,
    • He bought a beach house and hasn’t told his wife yet.
    • He got the phone number of a female coworker to meet for drinks, but he felt guilty and threw it in the trashcan right away.
    • He has found himself missing his late father.

    Your job:

    1. Tell Henok what you think is going on (12 paragraphs).
    2. Tell Henok how you think he can best overcome these feelings (24 paragraphs).
    3. Make a referral for Henok (1 paragraph).
    4. Provide some encouragement for Henok (this is your conclusion).
    5. How did you reach these conclusions? What research helped you arrive at the decisions that you did?
  • Management Question

    We are going to go a little off topic for this assignment. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was one of the biggest and most important pieces of legislation that has been passed in the last100 years for the safety and well-being of employees.

    For this assignment, you are to research Title VII of the Civil rights Act and create two (2) infographics on any topic you choose, as long as they belong to Title VII. If you dig deep enough, you will find Title VII topics that coincide with employee termination (our topic this week).

    I am a huge fan of Title VII, so I will know if you choose something that is not part of the Act. There are many topics of the Act, so you should not have any issues finding two topicsthat you like. You are expected to cover the topics thoroughly.

    Example Topics for Title VII
    Discrimination
    Equal Employment
    Protected Classes
    Affirmative Action
    Reverse Discrimination
    ADEA
    ADA
    FMLA
    Multiple actions that ensure, safety, well-being and fairness.

    Yes, I know these are not very specific. You need to research them. smile

    You can try the links below to create your infographics. However, you can use any app you choose. You can play with these free, but if you want to print out anything you do have to pay the fee or take screenshots. They have a ton of pictures, backgrounds, and other cool features.

  • Healthcare budgeting and capital budget proposal for Behavio…

    IHP 450 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Prompt Because you have done such a good job with the consulting assignments, your boss has asked you to lead the development of the departments annual operating budget for the healthcare facility you selected, (Joslin or Venice). She has also offered to review an outline of your capital budget proposal before you submit it for consideration by the decision makers. There are two parts to this assignment that you will submit together: Part One: Proposal Outline First, you will outline your proposal for your boss to review. With the goal of submitting a proposal that will help your organization and win a $2,500 bonus, you will create a 13 page outline of your final project presentation that identifies the key points you will use to address critical elements of the final project, providing sufficient detail to allow your boss to provide constructive feedback on your proposal. Your outline should incorporate, where applicable, the knowledge, concepts, and principles that you have learned in Modules One through Five. Review the example proposal outline to gain an idea of what the start of your outline may look like. The notes and ideas you generate in this outline may inform the speaker notes, visuals, and text that you will include in your final project proposal presentation. To complete this part of the assignment, the following items must be addressed: Proposal Options: What various options are available for each item in your budget proposal? Provide multiple options for your supervisor or board to consider based on their needs. Financial Research: Describe the cost-benefit of each option based on relevant information and research. Information and research can include research on the items or vendors, organizational numbers, price quotes, and more. Be sure to provide relevant documentation in an appendix or reference slide to show the depth of your research and the various options available. Organizational Resources: Identify what resources would be needed to implement one of the options in your proposal Communication: What method of communication would be used to notify departments across the organization and what methods would be used throughout proposal implementation? Justify the appropriateness of your suggestions. Part Two: Departmental Budget Second, create your annual departmental budget per your boss request. As part of your capital budget proposal, you will need to apply the cost of your capital budget item, and all associated costs, to a specific department within the organization. Using the budget sample as an example, create your own departmental operating budget in the Operating Budget sheet. Please note that this is just an example provided to help you get started. You do not have to use all of the budget items found in the budget sample if they do not apply to your department. You may find that additional items are appropriate to include for your department beyond what is included in the sample. Use the Capital Budget sheet to calculate the costs of your capital budget item. As you create your departments budget, consider items such as hiring new staff, training, technology, and any other related costs. Also account for the potential revenue generated as a result of implementing the capital budget item as well as any potential expenses incurred by your department. These should be high-level estimates. To complete this part of the assignment, the following items, as well as those listed above, must be addressed: Budget (Please Note: Respond to the following critical elements in the proposal outline, not on the Excel document) Statements: What statements were utilized for formulating your proposal and why? Select the appropriate statements for analysis and defend your choices. Expenses: What major expenses are associated with your proposal items? Budgetary Accounts: What budgetary accounts (i.e., salaries) are impacted and in what way? Reasoning: Based on the previous years budget data, why did you select these budget items for adjustment over other options? Ratios: Research the various ratio options (including ROI) used for reviewing financial statements. Determine what ratios you will use for your proposal items and explain why. Ratio Calculations: Using budget statements, formulate calculations that support each recommendation. Projected Departmental Budget: Create a projected departmental budget for the upcoming year that incorporates the costs of the proposed changes. What to Submit You will submit two deliverables for this assignment. Your departmental budget must be submitted as an Excel spreadsheet. Your proposal outline must be submitted as a single document. It should be 13 pages in length with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in APA style where applicable.

    Module 11 Discussion: Employee Termination

    If you have ever worked for a company that had to perform a major layoff, sending large groups of employees home and to the unemployment line, you know that it makes for a very somber and stressful day: Saying goodbye to valued coworkers, sharing with them their new financial worries, reviewing the workload they left behind and realizing youre among those left that need to pick up the slack. And if youre not anxious enough about that, youre also wonderingam I going to be next?

    On top of being a blow to company morale, when an organization chooses to downsize it risks the result of less revenue and less productivity. So, is downsizing the only alternative?

    Discussion Prompt

    HR professionals can assist in proactively and creatively producing alternatives to downsizing by using the tools in their arsenal. In this exercise youre charged with exploring alternatives to downsizing that will save employee jobs and still accomplish the organizations goals of cutting costs.

    Use everything you know about downsizing and everything else youve learned so far as a Human Resources manager to come up with one or two ideas to prevent or find alternatives for corporate downsizing. Dont forget to put a small explanation next to each bullet point, and when youre done, check out the ideas one of your classmates has come up with.

    Requirements: 250 words minimum for primary response. 150 words minimum for response post (secondary response to one other student).
