Planning the Audit
Develop the expected amounts for 20X4 for each of the income statement items
(based on what she believes in 1-6 above). Uden’s unaudited financial
statements for the current year show a 31 percent gross profit rate. Assuming
that this represents a misstatement from the amount that you developed as an
expectation, calculate the estimated effect of this misstatement on net income
before taxes for 20X4.
Transformational Change Management Plan
You will create an entire Transformational Change Management Plan for a medium-sized public company that has lost business to a competitor that has chosen to outsource
much of its production operations. The company has been based in a small Midwestern town, it is one of the largest employers, and it has an excellent reputation for
employee welfare. It is now planning to do the very same offshoring, which will involve large lay-offs of long-term employees.
The Key Assignment is a comprehensive transformational change management plan that will combine tasks from Weeks 2–5.
The project deliverables are as follows:
Week 2: Introduction
Week 2: What is driving the need for this transformational change?
Week 3: Theories of Change Management
Week 4: Communication Plan
Week 5: Implementation Plan
Create an APA title page and the following sections:
Week 2:
Introduction (250-300 words) You will research and find an example of a firm that is going through the transformational change of offshoring much of its production
activities. The first part of the plan will be the Introduction. Context for the introduction includes the following:
What is offshoring?
How were the stakeholders affected?
What initiated the change?
How well has it been received or accepted, and why?
What is driving the need for this transformational change? (300-500 words)
Why is this considered a transformational change?
Why can the firm not just keep doing what it has been doing?
What is management’s role in the transformational change?
Are there easier alternatives to accomplish the goal of remaining competitive?

2. Who might have lost out as a result of the recent rise of the Indian pharmaceutical industry?
3. Do the benefits from trade with the Indian pharmaceutical sector outweigh the losses?
4. What international trade theory (or theories) best explain the rise of the India as a major exporter of pharmaceuticals?
Ray Brown owns Ray’s Speed, a bicycle shop. Most of Ray’s bicycle sales are customer order; however, he also stocks bicycle for walk-in customer. He stocks three types of bicycles; road- racing, cross-country, and mountain. A road-racing bike cost $1200, a cross-country bike costs $1700, and a mountain bike costs $900. He sells road-racing bikes for $1800, cross-country bikes for $2,100, and mountain bikes for $1,200. He has $12,000 available this month to purchase bikes. Each bike must be assembled; a road-racing bike requires 8 hours to assemble a cross-country bike requires 12 hours, and a mountain bike requires 16 hours. He estimates that he and his employees have 120 hours available to assemble bikes. He has enough space in his store to order 20 bikes this month. Based on past sales, he wants to stock at least twice as many mountain bikes as the other two combined because mountain bikes sell better.
a. solve this problem
b. should Ray try to increase his budget for purchasing bikes, increase space to stock bikes, or increase labor hours to ensemble bikes? why?
c. if ray hired an additional worker for 30 hours at $10 per hour, how much additional profit would he make, if any?
d. if ray purchased a cheaper cross-country bike for $1,200 and sold it for $1,900, would this affect the original solution?
This is the instruction for the problem:
It will be a problem with at least three (3) constraints and at least two (2) decision variables. The problem will be bounded and feasible. It will also have a single optimum solution (in other words, it won’t have alternate optimal solutions). The problem will also include a component that involves sensitivity analysis and the use of the shadow price.
You will be turning in two (2) deliverables, a short writeup of the project and the spreadsheet showing your work.
Writeup.
Your writeup should introduce your solution to the project by describing the problem. Correctly identify what type of problem this is. For example, you should note if the problem is a maximization or minimization problem, as well as identify the resources that constrain the solution. Identify each variable and explain the criteria involved in setting up the model. This should be encapsulated in one (1) or two (2) succinct paragraphs.
After the introductory paragraph, write out the L.P. model for the problem. Include the objective function and all constraints, including any non-negativity constraints. Then, you should present the optimal solution, based on your work in Excel. Explain what the results mean.
Finally, write a paragraph addressing the part of the problem pertaining to sensitivity analysis and shadow price.
Excel.
As previously noted, please set up your problem in Excel and find the solution using Solver. Clearly label the cells in your spreadsheet. You will turn in the entire spreadsheet, showing the setup of the model, and the results.
Choose three of the stocks – two within the same industry plus one additional stock – from the Company Selection and Stock Watch completed in module 03 and then locate interest rates on two other investments that are not stocks, such as bank certificates or government bonds. You will now have a total of five investments.
In your assignment, identify each of the five investments and discuss the following:
Which of the five investments do you think are most highly affected by the level of interest rates in the economy? Why?
Rank the five investments in order of the most risky to the least risky and explain in detail why you ranked them in that manner.
What types of risk do you think affects each of the investments?
Your assignment should be a minimum of 2 written pages and utilize APA formatting. In-text citations and a reference page should also be included.
TOPIC: How is community both antithetical to and supportive of individuality in the works we’ve read this semester? You can define community in any way you see fit, be it family or “society” or humanity. The central text for this assignment should be Go Set A Watchman. First decide what aspect of the individual in relation to his/her community you wish to focus on. The novel is obviously about race, but it’s also about family dynamics, and about regional identity, and about generation gaps. And all of the texts we have read have been about multiple concepts like that, all contemporary concerns.
Decide your focus. How would you present this novel in the context of the other works we’ve read? Include at least 4 of the authors in total.
You may do this in a standard term paper format, or you can choose another format such as power point and include materials such as links or images. If you use prezi, please send a direct url link. This is a pretty ‘open’ assignment. You have to choose how you want to present your thoughts on this subject, as well as what those thought are. All I ask is that you use complete sentences, no bullet lists. And INCLUDE DIRECT QUOTES, let the pieces of literature speak a bit for themselves as you present them. Think about what you think about the topic presented and how best to represent your thoughts most effectively

Should PS2 enter the Chinese market?
Which opportunity should PS2 pursue?
Could PS2 pursue both opportunities? Should they?
Did PS2 possess the required resources and capabilities to pursue an equity-based entry?
What ownership levels should PS2 assume for each option?
As you respond to each question, be sure that you explain the major issues that need to be considered. For example, what should be considered when thinking about entering the Chinese market?

Develop the expected amounts for 20X4 for each of the income statement items (based on 1-6 on pdf download). Uden’s unaudited financial statements for the current year show a 31 percent gross profit rate. Assuming that this represents a misstatement from the amount that you developed as an expectation, calculate the estimated effect of this misstatement on net income before taxes for 20X4. Explain why this is material or not material. (SHOW CALCULATIONS.
