For the year ended in June 30, 2014, according to its Combined Statements of Financial Position there was a huge change from 2013 to the 2014. This statement shows that the biggest change happened in its Cash and Cash Equivalent account. In 2013 the total in this account was 42,378,176, and in 2014 it was $129,701,765. The Cash and Equivalent account had an increased of $87,322,589 in 2014. There is nothing on the notes that mentions why is there such a big difference.

...apartment building in the Back Bay-Beacon Hill area of Boston, Mass. He currently has $80,000 dollars saved up to purchase this property. He began his search for the perfect property checking current listings and prices using, www.bankrate.com and www.realestate.boston.com. Due to many of his friends living in the area he gained access to eNeighborhoods a program that allowed him to enter addresses and it would show the previous 25 properties sold. Most properties observed sold for $700,000 and higher and required an initial equity investment of $150,000. Since he only has $80,000 in equity he plans to take out a mortgage to cover this cost. He found that the listings he came across were rundown and in bad condition. Such as one property on Myrtle St. This property showed a 20% return on cash investment, but did not account for repairs, vacancies, or management expenses. With these included the cash return would be only 3%. The values of many buildings on Beacon Hill had doubled or tripled in the past ten years due to a large amount of wealthy professionals anxious to own real estate. Alexander therefore believed that an apartment building in the Beacon Hill area would be a safe investment due to little chance of depreciation for functional or economic causes. After many failed attempts to find a suitable property Alexander learned of a 4-unit apartment house located on the “back slope” of Beacon Hill. While prices in some neighborhoods had declined prices on the “back slope” continued...

Na minha opinião o que levou a Kamprad a querer expandir o seus negócios em mercados estrangeiros é a vontade de maximizar os lucros. Todas as empresas têm como objectivo penetrar em novos mercados e se estabelecer mundialmente. Permite também diversificar e expandir o seu negócio. Além disso, era uma boa oportunidade para eles, porque a Europa acabava de sair de uma grande guerra e era necessário para os países e os lares de serem reconstruídos. Podemos supor também que o mercado sueco de varejo era saturado. 2. Os principais fatores de diferenciação que permitiram a IKEA se destacar das outras empresas foi o trabalho bem feito no seu Marketing Mix. Eles concentraram-se sobre a importância do Produto (características e atributos) e do Preço (a quanto e como será cobrado do cliente. Neste quesito, o produto pode ser barato ou de luxo). 3.

What do you think the construction project manager should have done when the Director of Security stopped attending the project meetings? Tracked him down and explained that absence was not an option. Elevated it to Fred if it continued for another week. Frank has to figure out how to get coverage – that is why he is the director of security 2. Do you think it is an effective communications tool to send the construction project meeting minutes to the ALF steering team and the President? Support your answer. It is necessary, but only effective if people react to it – Kyle should have realized long ago, that that was not the case and followed up verbally. 3. How much time has to be made up for the original, baseline schedule to be met? 14 days 4. Develop an action plan and draw a Gantt chart for the Parking Lot phase of the project as originally planned by Kyle. Answer Fred's questions. The parking lot plans were not in the original plans because Kyle thought they would not impact the overall completion date If the approval does not come through until May 1, then the completion will be delayed to June 12. We can afford to wait until May 4. 5. What information does Fred need to make a decision about building a hair salon? The potential income, what it will cost to change the plans to accommodate it and how it will affect the schedule. Individual part 2. Do problems 25...

Going over charts was exciting for me I like the planning and going over charts more than doing actual interventions. I had a difficult time understanding some of the words in the chart.

...St. Victoria Parish “Free to Serve” Case for Support The Legacy of St. Victoria Parish St. Victoria was established as a parish in 1857 by our early pioneers and shortly thereafter a small wooden church was built. They chose Saint Victoria as the patron saint of this church as she was a favorite saint from their homeland. Throughout the early years’ European immigrants flocked to this area in large numbers and found not only land rich in resources, but for many a new found freedom for their faith. As the population increased in the area, a larger church was built of brick in 1870, which is the historic church that you still see today. In 1857 there were 32 Catholic households in Victoria. By its centennial in 1957, there were 196 registered homes. St. Victoria Today...

...Privilege in its general terms means to have a special advantage or benefits that are accessible to an individual or a group. In the case of Shamus Khan’s book, this privilege was provided and learnt at St. Paul. The author provided several ways of how students at St. Paul experienced privilege. High class schools like St. Paul were a foundation for the elite students because they were taught everyday lessons to inscribe privilege in a way that will make privilege to feel natural ( Khan, 2011, p.132). It can be said that through these life lessons at St. Paul, naturalness of wealth and power was important for these students (Khan, 2011, p.132). To begin, St. Paul became a site where elites were made and the aim was to create distinctions and...

Evangelista Kristel Mae D. Magsipoc Hadriza S. Omar Juella M. Laguna September 22, 2012 I. Summary St. Francis University was a medium-sized private University, located in a major port city in Visayas. The University is well known for its engineering and Science degree courses and was one of the better private universities in the city. It boasts of a total of 26,000 enrollees at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The College of Commerce was a major unit of the University. However, it has only 3000 student enrollees or so, compared to the College of Engineering, which accounted for more than a third of the University’s enrollment. The College of Commerce has 55 full time faculty and over 100 lecturers. The faculty members taught as many as 5 courses per semester while the lecturers taught three courses. The College of Commerce was distributed among the four major fields, namely: Banking and Finance, Accounting, Marketing and Business Management. In June of 1988, Mr. Santos assumed the position of Dean of the College of Commerce. Since the college experienced rapid growth in enrollment in the University during the past ten years, Dean Santos wanted to combine curricular improvements and administrative changes that would improve...

...principle of arbitration law that a board of arbitration should not invoke its discretionary powers to mitigate a penalty on compassionate grounds alone. 1 …On the other hand, the view has also been expressed that if, at the end of a case, an arbitrator harbours any reasonable doubt as to the propriety of a sanction, then the grievor should be given the benefit of that doubt. In the past, similar cases have happened that we could relate to this problem. First case occurred in National Car Rental Inc. The greivor in this case left work without permission to drive company’s vehicle. However, it was found that greivor’s action was motivated by a legimate concern for the safety of a loved one who appeared to be in danger. Evidently, the arbitrator reinstated the grievor to his formal position. Another case that we could relate to occurred in St. Lawrence Seaway Company. The greivor got into an argument with the manager during the meeting, both using abusive language. However, it was found that the greivor’s conduct at the meeting was not in defiance of management as an employee, but arose from his concern for the person he was representing within the company. In that regard, the arbitrator concluded that he was not guilty of insubordination. Relating all these cases back to the current issue, it is evident that our...

...Applied Science, St-Imier, Switzerland, Switzerland, Abstract The definition of the cutting parameters (Vc, fz, ae, ap), and the definition of the machining strategies or the strategies to engage the tool in the material and to start the cutting process, are usually requested by the CAM systems as input information. These data are usually strongly influenced by the consolidated experience of the operators, by the specific previous similar machining cases and by several other factors depending on the machining practices. In a project, financed by the Swiss national organization for the industrial research, the authors have developed an expert system (ES) in order to get this information through software processes. The paper shows the structure of this expert system. The ES has been realized through the definition of ontology of components and elements of the machining. The ES includes a very large data base of cutting parameters, and is based on the establishment of rules for the competition between the machining strategies. The ES includes learning methods which are able to identify similar operations. The learning methods are based on the measure of the distance between the actual machining conditions and those already experimented. Therefore the system is able to learn from similar cases. The system has been designed especially for an application in the field of the watch industry which requests a very large spectrum of machining operations and includes also the cases of the HSC...

...St. Mary’s Honor Center v. Hicks The case St. Mary’s Honor Center v. Hicks is a precedent case that established the rule of pretext plus. On one side of this case you have Gary L. Gardner who is representing St. Mary’s and is arguing that the firing was not because of racial discrimination, but rather because of personal animosity. On the other side you have Charles R, Oldham representing Hicks, as well as Edward C DuMont on behalf of the EEOC. The ultimate question of fact in this case is to decide if Hicks was able to prove if he was discriminated against. The reason this question is so important is to make sure that innocent employers are not wrongfully sued for rightfully firing an employee, while also giving the employee a fair chance to prove discrimination....
