    Review the scenario and watch this weeks videos before you complete the activity below. This scenario can also be found in the Problems Series A section 8-19A of Ch. 8, Performance Evaluation of Fundamentals of Managerial Accounting Concepts. Scenario: The Redmond Management Association held its annual public relations luncheon in April Year 2. Based on the previous years results, the organization allocated $25,290 of its operating budget to cover the cost of the luncheon. To ensure that costs would be appropriately controlled, you, the treasurer, prepared the following budget for the Year 2 luncheon. Use Excelshowing all work and formulasto complete the following: Prepare a flexible budget. Compute the sales volume variance and the variable cost volume variances based on a comparison between the master budget and the flexible budget. Compute flexible budget variances by comparing the flexible budget with the actual results. Mr. Snow was extremely upset with the budget deficit. He immediately called you, the treasurer, to complain about the budget variance for the meal cost. He told you that the added dessert caused the meal cost to be $4,810 ($25,110-$20,300) over budget. He added, I could expect a couple hundred dollars one way or the other, but several thousand is totally unacceptable. At the next budget meeting of the budget committee, I want you to explain what happened. Create a 6-slide presentation for the budget committee meeting. Complete the following in your presentation: Summarize the results of the sales volume and variable cost volume variances computations based on the comparison between the master budget and the flexible budget. (This means to explain in writing what the results are between the Flexible Budget and the Master Budget Variances and; what may have caused the variances). Summarize the results of the flexible budget variances computations based on the comparison between the flexible budget and the actual results. (This means to explain in writing what the results of the variances are based on the comparison between the Flexible budget and the actual results and;, what may have caused the variances). Justify the favorable or unfavorable budget variances. (This means to explain in writing what the results of overall total variances (net surplus or deficit) are and, what may have caused the variances.) Since this is a not-for-profit organization, address why anyone should be concerned with meeting the budget. (This means to explain in writing why anyone would be concerned with the budget) Make recommendations for what can be done differently to stay on budget for future luncheons. Provide specific examples to support your recommendations. (This means to explain in writing what can be done differently to eliminate unfavorable variances for future luncheons)

  • Primary Source #3

    We are going to look at some primary sources for this assignment that revolve around Nat Turner’s Rebellion. This rebellion was extremely significant because of its impact on the relationship between the North and the South; basically it fractured it almost beyond repair. In fact, even today, over 150 years after the Civil War began, some people in the South still feel anger towards the North. Sad, but true. This anger began nearly 200 years ago, with the rebellion of a brilliant but mentally unstable slave named Nat Turner, who led a group of slaves that murdered nearly 60 whites in the neighborhood. This included a number of children who were at school, and at least one baby in his cradle. The backlash was immediate and vicious, over 200 innocent Blacks were killed in retaliation, and the frightened Virginians blamed the Abolitionist groups in the North for inciting Turner to rebel. The fact is that the Abolitionists had nothing to do with it and, along with the rest of the North, condemned Turner’s rebellion.

    Here is a short video clip for you to watch:

    Here is your primary source:

    What you need to discuss, in a 5 paragraph essay, is: how did Nat Turner’s Rebellion change the way the South looked at the North? Use specific examples from the sources, and be sure to cite them properly!

  • Business Question

    Write a 34 page analysis of ethical and communication issues surrounding one of the provided whistleblower scenarios and then write a 1-page communication detailing lessons learned from the incident.

    You are contemplating going above your management team to bring something that you feel is being overlooked to the attention of those higher up, maybe even the press. The issue matters enough to you, and you feel your management either wont or isnt in a position to do something about it.

    Hopefully, in your current work environment, youre in a collaborative enough place that this kind of situation doesnt come up. But its common in many different types of organizations, and it raises all kinds of questions, not just about ethics, but how you go about communicating, too

    Whistleblowers have been responsible for bringing many illegal or unethical situations to light. There are several modern examples of whistleblowers that we can examine. In this assessment, you are asked to identify the communication strategy used and analyze the ethical and communication issues surrounding one of these scenarios.

    1. Erin Brockovich and PG&E – Erin Brockovich became a whistleblower when she spoke out against Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) after finding widespread unexplained illness in the town of Hinkley, California while working as a legal assistant. PG&E had contaminated the towns drinking water with toxic chromium 6. She decided to expose the issue by gathering evidence, connecting with affected residents, and advocating for their rights.
    2. Enron – The Enron corporation was a company dealing in energy resources based in Houston, Texas. Enrons scandal involved dubious accounting practices, leading to bankruptcy. Executives engaged in fraudulent transactions, hiding losses and inflating profits. These issues were exposed by Sherron Watkins, one of the executives in the company.
    3. OceanGate – In June 2023, the OceanGate submersible Titan embarked on a voyage to the wreck of the Titanic with five passengers, including the CEO, on board. The submersible experienced a catastrophic hull failure, resulting in the loss of the vessel and all passengers. David Lochridge, the director of marine operations, expressed concerns about the safety of the ship years prior to the disaster.

    Consider the whistleblowers decision to expose the illegal or unethical activity, their motivation, the manner in which they communicated the issues, and the recipients of the communication. Complete both parts of this assessment in a single Word document and be sure to cite all sources using APA reference style.

    Part 1: Analyze the Scenario

    Using at least two of the provided scenarios:

    • Analyze the ethical decision that the whistleblower faced as it relates to how they communicated.
      • Consider the sender, receiver, message, and channel.
    • Analyze the outcomes of the communication strategy.
      • Make sure to consider how the communication was distributed, the possible intent, and the content of the communication.
    • Describe the effectiveness of the communication in the scenario.
      • Focus on how specific events were influenced by the communication.
      • What were the primary failures and successes?

    Part 2: Write a Communication

    Imagine that you are working in the same industry as the whistleblower in your chosen scenario and have followed this sequence of events closely. Your research has provided you with a great deal that can be applied to your industry, and you are anxious to share your lessons learned from the situation.

    • Write a communication to a colleague that conveys and reinforces the primary lessons learned from the incident.
      • Be sure to focus on the actions of the whistleblower in your communication.
      • The medium is your choice, but it is also very important, so state the medium you have chosen within your message and the reason you feel it is the most appropriate medium to use. Address possible reasons such as confidentiality, tone, and convention

      • Format and length: Complete and submit Parts 1 and 2 of this assessment in a single Word document.
        • Part 1 should be 34 double-spaced pages.
        • Part 2 should be 1 double-spaced page.
          • Page counts do not include your cover page or reference page.
