...BCOM/275 DQ’s Week 1 Q1. What are some ways in which receivers of messages provide feedback when listening to or reading a message? What effect does this have on the message? Provide examples. A1. I believe there are several answers to this question, depending on how the message is being delivered. Messages delivered either in writing or verbally tend to be completely different, and have their own set of problems and advantages. When delivering the message in writing, there is little immediate feedback to be received. I typically use four modes of written messaging, (1) Email, (2) Instant Messaging, (3) Technical Writings, and (4) Blogging. When doing any of the four, I find it critical to know my audience. Depending on the audience, my delivery will often change to better suit the recipient, especially in my emails and technical writings. For example, I know my audience when I write technically, and because I know who will receive the message, I tend to cater the message towards mechanics and inspectors. If a member of management were to read the same text, their lack of subject knowledge would drive them to ask for clarification. When sending emails and instant messages, I typically know the recipient and tend to tailor the message based on that association. It can be tricky to send instant messages though, even to people I have known for a long time. Since I am unable to use voice fluctuation and facial expression to show excitement, sarcasm, or any other emotion...

...1: Sarah Wiggum would like to make a single investment and have $2 million at the time of her retirement in 35 years. She has found a mutual fund that will earn 4 percent annually. How much will Sarah have to invest today? What if Sarah were a finance major and learned how to earn a 14 percent annual return? How soon could she then retire? Using an excel spreadsheet I plugged in =PV(rate,nper,pmt,fv) with values that’s =PV(0.04,35,0,2000000) A. Sarah needs to invest ($506,830.94) today in order to receive $2,000,000 in 35 years. If Sarah earned an annual return of 14 percent, how soon could she then retire? I plugged into Excel the formula =NPER9rate,pmt,pv,fv) and with values that’s =NPER(0.14,0,-506,830.94,2,000,000) B. If Sarah invests $506,830.94 today at 14 percent compounded annually, it will take about 3 years for $506,830.94 to grow to $2,000,000. 2: What is the future value of each of the following streams of payments? Using the Excel spreadsheet, I used the formula =FV(rate,nper,pmt,pv) $500 a year for 10 years compounded annually at 5 percent =FV(0.05,10,-500,0) = $6,288.95 $100 a year for 5 years compounded annually at 10 percent =FV(0.10,5,-100,0) = $610.51 $35 a year for 7 years compounded annually at 7 percent =FV(0.07,7,-35,0) = $302.89 $25 a year for 3 years compounded annually at 2 percent =FV(0.02,3,-25,0) = $76.51 3: The owner of the Crusik Distribution Company is evaluating the expected annual sales...

...Week 7 Discussion Question Week 7 Discussion Question 1 To me having insurance means that you are guaranteed of your properties, life, and other matters if in case something happens to you. You will sign a contract and that will serve as the basis for anything that might possibly happen. There will be an agreed amount for such coverage made by you and the insurance company you are into. Pretty much you are covered from al the mishaps in life. Life Insurance: How Life Insurance Works Like other insurance products, life insurance is based on the concept of risk pooling. You pay a premium that is small relative to the size of your potential loss, and if the bad outcome occurs (you die), your beneficiaries are paid a sum of money, which they can use to offset any losses incurred as a result of your death. Car Insurance: Property Damage Your automobile property risk includes the risk that you will be liable for other people’s property losses as well as the risk that your own property will be damaged or stolen. As noted, Part A of the PAP covers your liability for property damage to others. Coverage for loss or damage to your own property is optional under Part D of the PAP. Part D includes both collision coverage, which insures you against loss or damage to your vehicle if you are in an accident, regardless of who is at fault, and comprehensive physical damage coverage, which covers loss or damage to your vehicle from any other peril (e.g., fire, theft, a falling object...

...Chapter 4 DQ’s 1. Overhead costs are not directly related to production volume, therefore cannot be traced to units of product in the same way that DM and DL can. 2. Plantwide Rate, Departmental Rate, and Activity-Based Costing 3. These measures are usually readily available in most manufacturing settings and are closely related to volume-bases measures. 4. It is easier to use, only one rate to be allocated to all products. 5. Overhead costs are logically related to the base used to determine the rate and all costs are consumed by products in the same proportions. 6. A cost object is anything to which costs would be assigned. (Units of Product, Product Lines, Departments, Activities, and Projects. 7. If not all overhead costs are related to the base and if products consume resources in different proportions, some products will be assigned too much overhead costs and some too little. 8. Departmental Overhead Rates are more accurate because they reflect the costs of each driver in various departments. With a plantwide overhead rate, some important cost differences would be lost due to the lumping of all costs into one rate. 9. Departmental and Plantwide overhead rates can be similar in the fact that they pool together costs that could be incurred differently. They differ because the departmental rates recognize differences among departments and assign overhead to products based on the driver that makes the most sense for each department...

...Health and wellness DQ1 Please post a 150-300-word response to the following discussion question by clicking on Reply. What are some of the most important elements of health and wellness? Explain your response. Maintaining active life style, having a proper nutrition in your diet, and managing your stress levels are the most import elements of health and wellness. Having a consistent exercise schedule and being active on a regular basis helps shape your body physically and mentally makes you feel healthier. In my opinion, physical appearance is the first thing we think about in regards to someone being healthy. Diet and nutrition go hand in hand with exercise because you won’t reap the benefits of your exercise without it. Managing your stress is also very important in your daily life. Whether it’s at work or at home stress play a significant role in health. You need to somehow figure out what is causing the stress and then learn how to remove whatever those factors are from your life. DQ2 Please post a 150-300-word response to the following discussion question by clicking on Reply. Does being physically healthy equate to having overall health and wellness?

...Eventually, all billing and payments will be done electronically. It is less expensive to deliver bills electronically as well as make payments. A few companies have already gone “paperless” and one must receive an electronic bill as well as make an electronic payment. Over time, I think all companies will eventually implement paperless billing and payments. An employee does have a right to privacy; however, when he or she is using company equipment including, email address and Internet access, he or she should not expect privacy. The company owns the equipment, email, Internet connection, and voicemail; therefore, it should have access to and monitor those. The company should set expectations through written policies and the culture of the company. A company I worked for encountered this exact problem. Our email account crashed and had to be completely reset. The reset also reset everyone’s passwords to a default. We each had to redo our individual passwords. We had an employee who was absent the day it happened. When she got back to work, she thought someone had reset only her password and accused the IT person of invading her privacy. She claimed he had no right to access her email or reset her password without her permission. She threatened to sue the company because they were “monitoring” her “personal” email. Needless to say, it went nowhere. The labor commission became involved and sided with the company. First of all, nobody invaded her privacy. Second...

...DQs for wk 2 Week 2 - Discussion Question #1 · What does the statement mean: “Hardware is useless without software”? · What are differences between systems software and applications software? Give an example. · What are some of the legal issues involved in acquiring and using software in most business organizations? In my opinion, I think this statement means that hardware is useless without software to run on it because software gives instructions that tell computer hardware what to do. Hardware consist of physical equipments that are used for processing information in various ways, and software consists of the instructions or programs that determine tasks be performed by the hardware and the way these tasks are performed.The differences between systems software and applications software are systems software is a set of programs to control all components of computer and to manage overall operations of computer system. System software is used as a base to install and run all application and the systems software makes the computer work for example operating systems, such as Windows XP and Norton Antivirus. Applications software is the software that you install onto the operating system, for example processing programs, spread sheets, web browser and games. Some of the legal issues involved in acquiring and using software in most business and organizations include software licensing. That is, copying software is illegal and individuals must stop people from...

There is a lot of difference in my time management because I have to incorporate my schooling into my weekly work week. I do not have a normal job that has only a set number of hours, so sometimes I might work a 14 hour day. This is been kind of difficult for me to do but as the time goes by I am getting use to my new schedule. I have to set a goal each day that I need to accomplish so that I know that I will have the time each week to get my weekly assignments, dq’s and participation done. 2.
