Assignment 1: LASA: Understanding 401(k) and IRAs

For this assignment, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation evaluating and explaining the 401(k) and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) at a local community center, where you have been invited to speak. The audience will be a group of people who already work for companies that provide a 401(k) plan, so they are familiar with the basic concepts. The goal of the presentation is to explain to the audience the differences between the 401(k) and IRAs. Include the following:

Explain which account would earn more money for the investor: a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. Support your statements with reasons and examples.

Describe how people can identify their federal tax brackets.

Use the following hypothetical questions/situations to explain the retirement plans in further detail.
If you were to invest $3,500 in traditional IRA and a Roth IRA, after making adjustments for possible tax deductions, what would your net contributionbe for both the traditional and Roth IRA? Explain any differences your research shows.
Once the traditional IRA or Roth IRA is established, you decide to invest the proceeds in a mutual fund. Identify the type of mutual fund you would select. Examples include stocks, bonds, or a balanced mutual fund. Using the Internet, research and select a specific mutual fund that meets your desired risk tolerance. You can use examples of mutual fund companies such as Oppenheimer and Franklin Templeton. Be sure to justify your selection.
Based on the average annual return on the mutual fund selected, you invest $3,500 for thirty years without withdrawing any of the proceeds. How large would the balance be at the end of thirty years? Include your calculations in your presentation.
To avoid the process of probate, and ensure that the balance in this fund transfers upon death to a person of your choice, explain how this account should be set up to ensure a prompt and direct transfer.
As an employee of an organization, you may have access to invest in a 401(k) plan. Explain what a 401(k) plan is as well as its benefits. When one has the option to utilize a 401(k) from an employer, explain what restrictions are in place to limit 401(k) contribution?

Support your statements with examples and scholarly references. Remember to include detailed speakers’ notes to include additional remarks that could be used as a script when presenting to a live audience. Develop an 8–10-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.ppt.

Assignment 2: LASA 1—Analysis of Historical, Legal, and Ethical Issues

As someone knowledgeable about research on children with exceptionalities, you have been given the task of presenting a report to the court on your arguments for and against people with intellectual disabilities raising children.

Do the following:

Launch the online library (under Academic Resources).
Select Find Videos.
Select Filmakers Library Online.
In the search box, type “is love enough” and click Go.
The first result should be Is Love Enough?directed by Tom Puchniak. Review this video.

Analyze the historical, legal, and ethical issues in the video. Make sure you include the following in your analysis (in an order that flows well in your paper):

Compare the historical trends related to people with disabilities. How would outcomes be different fifty years ago for the people in the movie?
Compare the differences from about ten years ago when the movie was produced to today.
Explain how far we have come and what still needs to be addressed (such as terminology, acceptance, and support).
Explain how laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the IDEA influence these decisions.
Identify the ethical principles that might apply to the situation. Consider the professional ethics codes, including the following:
American Psychological Association. (2010). Ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct. Retrieved from http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/index.aspx
American Counseling Association. (2005). ACA code of ethics. Alexandria, VA: Author. Retrieved from http://www.counseling.org/resources/codeofethics/TP/home/ct2.aspx
Synthesize your research and create two arguments: one for and one against parents with intellectual disabilities raising children. Consider the perspectives of the parents as well as the children. Use evidence and examples from research, utilizing your assigned readings, and at least two peer-reviewed articles on this topic to support your argument.
Given what you learned in the video, your assigned readings, and research you found, recommend supports or interventions for the following:
The family
Within the community for the family and child
The school
Although this video focused on those with intellectual disabilities, generalize the issues to other exceptionalities.
Conclude your paper with a review of current thinking for and against people with exceptionalities raising children, based on the sources used.

Write a 7–9-page paper (not counting the title page, abstract, or reference page) in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Be sure to include a title page, abstract, and reference page also in APA

do remeber this. Now i want u to do number 4 using the book (Crafting & Executing Strategy 20th edtion) to compair with what u did what these exercises

Exercise 1

College of Business (COB) assessment conducted sometime in the Fall 2015. I will provide instructions in class and discuss what you are supposed to do. There is NO make-up for this assignment as this is a college-wide assessment conducted by our COB Undergraduate Curriculum Committee in our COB capstone course—MGT 449.

Exercise 2

Investigate, research, and write-up a three-page analysis of an article about strategy reflected in action from a different article than used in Exercise 1. Describe how an organization’s vision and objectives are indicated in its actions. Is there any connection between vision and objectives and action? Think-out-of-the-box–are organizations just doing things or is there a purpose, a plan of action, or a perspective that action is intended on fulfilling? Again provide citation of the article but NOT a copy of the article.

Exercise 3

Conduct a thorough book analysis using one of the recommended candidate books. What I want from you is a summarized report by chapter of what the author(s) said in the book. Did the author(s) communicate their ideas very well? Do you believe that the ideas presented in your chosen book will impact you and your future place of employment? Do you believe that the book is too fluffy (i.e., not containing many concrete ideas or examples) or too stringent (i.e., too rigid in their ideas that the book seems preachy or arrogant). I would like your analysis to be at least five-to-seven pages in length. The recommended candidate books are just that—a recommendation. If you have a different book that you want to use and applies to strategic management, then I would like you to get pre-approval from me. Book selections as approved by the instructor must be done by 9 September 2015.

Exercise 4

Based on your analysis in Exercise 3, you should have a good understanding of what the strategy, leadership or management book was about, who the intended audience was, and the implications the book suggested or provided. That being said, I am asking you to compare and contrast what was in the book you read to what was (or will be) taught in our MGT 449 course. First, tell me the three most important strategic issues that you see in the book that are relevant in MGT 449 course. Second, tell me why these issues are important for a firm, and you, today. Forecast what would happen to an organization if these issues were not addressed and resolved by the average firm or person. Finally, how do these issues relate to concepts discussed in other classes you have attended in the NMSU College of Business? Do you think the issues identified in your book are generalizable to all firms like profit, public, non-profit, and governmental agencies? Why or why not? What surprised you in this book and why? Your response to this exercise should be between seven-to-ten pages in length

How are the strategies different?
What are the key elements of each Strategic Plan?
Compare the goals and strategies identified in each one. Which plan is likely to be more successful and why?
Put yourself in the role of a manager at one or both facilities. What are your responsibilities in ensuring one or both are successful?
What barriers are there to successful implementation of the strategies, and how could the manager overcome these barriers?
