...Assignment #3 Analysis of “The Alchemist” Final draft The Alchemist is a brilliant novel by the great Brazilian author “Paulo Coelho’. This novel tells the story of a young shepherd called Santiago who lives alone with his herd of sheep. He travels from one place to the other, meeting new people and exploring new things. In one of his journeys, he meets an old woman who has the ability of foretelling the future. This woman tells him that there is a treasure that is waiting for him. After this, the young shepherd keeps looking for this treasure by travelling through different countries and learning about various traditions. During his journey for the treasure, he falls in love with an Arabian girl called Fatima and she also taught him a lot of new things. Finally, he arrives at the place where the treasure is supposed to be, in Egypt. Surprisingly, he does not find any treasure! Taking a closer look at this novel, naturally the reader would question the reason behind going through all of these obstacles in the novel, when the shepherd ends up without the treasure. Is the author’s intention to provide the reader with entertainment and suspense? Or is it just an open end for this book, with the aim that the young shepherd finds the treasure in part two of the book? The answer to these questions is that the author’s intention is neither to develop suspense for the reader so he could be entertained, nor to make the reader himself searches for the treasure in another part...

...Overview of Paper Requirements Dr Gehling’s INFO2070 class The paper you turn in for this iNFO2070 class must be an original work, written by you. 1 The final paper you turn in to me should not have been submitted to another instructor (at AUM or any other school) for credit in another class for a past, the current, or a potential future term. If you are currently employed, your paper should not include any information that might be considered proprietary, confidential, or might jeopardize your job, your company's competitive advantage or our national security. If you paper describes a case study (i.e. how something is done), I prefer that you not mention the company or agency involved by name unless it directly relates to specific points reported in your paper. Instead I encourage you to try to use phrases such as "a southeastern law firm (or whatever type of business)" or "a software developer located in the Southeastern United States". You should indicate industry or type of business, but unless you receive written permission, you should not name the organization/business. Contact me if you have questions.

...long-term construction contracts and which method would be most like the typical revenue recognition method at point of product delivery. The names of the students are Bill and John. Bill believes that the completed -contract method is most like recognizing revenue at point of delivery because in the end the final product is delivered and has fulfilled any requirements to recognize revenue. John believes that percentage-of-completion is most like point of delivery and this allows a company to recognize revenue over time. I support Bill’s opinion that the completed-contract method is closest to recognizing revenue at point of delivery. The reason I support this is because while there is still construction taking place, as in the percentage-of-completion method, there still is no actual product being delivered. Along with no product being delivered, it is possible that the final product may never actually be made. If there’s a chance the end product not being made then there is no way to recognize revenue for that product. Using the completed contract method we hold off on recognizing any revenue until the final product is finished and delivered to the client. In my opinion completed contract fulfills the requirements of revenue recognition which are (1) the amount has to be realized / realizable and (2) the revenue must be earned. In completed contract at point of delivery the item can be considered earned now that it is completed and ownership has passed to the final customer...

...aimed to win. This bid would have been closer to the desires of Disney, making them more appealing and increasing their probabilities of leading the financing. However, they chose to bid to lose, with just enough terms to get into the second round to "protect their reputation", but not to lead. The deal started to become more attractive with the possibility of Disney awarding a sole lead arranger mandate and with the increased potential for a successful syndication. At this point, after Chase made it through the first round, they decided on a more aggressive final proposal where they would be very close to meeting most of Disney’s demands in order to win the deal. Although may not aggressive enough to lead in the first bid, it’s still a good strategy to pretend to bid to lose but make the short list and then bid to win. Three reasons: (1)not too aggressive from the very beginning, making the economics not so appealing, especially considering other competitors will bid very aggressively. (2)but aggressive enough to entre the short list. (3)not afraid to lose. If the final condition is not fit for profit purpose, may out. 2. Standard Commitment Letter The standard commitment letter established by Chase for the Disneyland project would have the following terms: 1. HK$300 million loan. 2. 15-year maturity. 3. A provision that allowed repayments to start as late as three years after opening. 4. Chase would underwrite the full...

...I used to play soccer for a club,just for recreational purposes,in fact i was one of the cofounders of the team. The team we assembled was a mixture of young and old, and for this reason we were the laughing stock of the league, because all other teams were made up solely of young players, who were exceptionally talented. The team ended up on the wrong side of the score for the first few games we played, and got nicknamed the “whopping boys”. Eventually we grew tired of the nickname and of our performances on the field, and we decided to try and improve things, first thing we did was to elect a leader for the club. Even though i didnʼt want the job, i was voted into the position, and as the president it was my duty to represent my team when the league called for club meetings. At the time we were all students, so it was decided that we would all contribute towards any and all expenses,but unfortunately when you dealing with a blend of young and old, things donʼt always go according to plan, people constantly made up excuses for not showing up for practice, or for not contributing towards our equipment. Even though it wasnʼt my duty, i took it upon myself to ensure that every single player showed up for practice, i used to drive up to the houses of all those who didnʼt have any transportation. It was a tiring job, but i realized that if i wanted the team to be successful, i had to make certain sacrifices, some of which included taking money out of my own pocket...

...Utter chaos or sheer comical genius? The Eric Andre Show transcends what most people typically think of in terms of a variety show. This man has taken his talents as a comedian and created something that is truly unforgettable. The show on Wednesday, September 19 started with Eric Andre running out on stage throwing beer, sandwiches, what seemed to be chicken carcasses, and many other objects out into the crowd as he jumped off stage and began to run through the dense mass of people pushing, shoving, and simply making a riot amongst the observers. He disappeared and shortly after appeared back on stage fully naked running around the set. Things slowly settled down and it was time for his first guest, Russell Brandt. The crowd grew eager and when he finally came on stage, it was clear that it was in fact not he. Either that, or Russell Brandt changed his image to that of a malnourished Philadelphian homeless person. Once on stage “Brandt” sang a song, in what seemed to be English accompanied by a plastic guitar and a 2 liter bottle filled with some unknown foamy liquid that eventually also ended up in the crowd. His next two guests consisted of a local juggler and Freeway, who is a native rapper of North Philadelphia. It was clear that neither of the two were aware of what they were actually participating in. Right as the juggler was about to begin his performance, the lights dimmed and Doc Chicken emerged. This was nothing more than a rubber chicken with a stethoscope...

...Introduction: Working in a small cohesive team of five members tasked with an assignment to submit a case study analysis helped bust several myths about teams and provided valuable lessons in working as groups. There was rich diversity in the team in terms of work experience; varied skill sets as well as varying exposure to theoretical and practical concepts of OB. The approach taken to achieve our goal was to divide and conquer. The entire analysis was broken into smaller sections that were split across the individuals who picked the topics based on their comfort levels. The more senior and experienced members offered to take up more complex sections that involved more analytical skills. I offered to take up the task of compilation of the sections into a single deliverable and perform the necessary editing and review to publish an output that was consistent. This was accepted without any conflict due to the team’s faith in my writing skills and producing case reports which was demonstrated through my grades from earlier courses. The tangible evidence of skill/expertise helped build trust in my abilities and reduced potential conflict around leadership. Stages of Team Building: It was an interesting experience to see the different stages of team building in action such as the forming of the team when individuals who haven’t worked together in the past came together to work towards a common goal. Although in our case we didn’t have the need for introduction and pleasantries...

...schools a week before the start of the school year. Scrubs produces uniforms for hospital staff. Both companies have consulted with their financial department and received a report stating the benefits of the merger. However, there is some concern with respect to the differences in managerial accounting procedures. The main differences are stated below. Orders CoolSchool: CoolSchool delivers to a fixed number of schools each year. The schools provide CoolSchool with the exact enrolment number two weeks before the start of school year. Since it takes more than a week to produce all the uniforms, CoolSchool uses last year’s enrolment number for each school to start production, when the final number comes in two weeks before start of term the company compares the production to the final number and produces extra if necessary. If they have made too many uniforms they keep them until the next year, assuming the uniform logo, colours... do not change. Scrubs: Scrubs delivers to a fixed number of hospitals. The hospitals require new uniforms every 4 months. Scrubs knows the staff numbers and is able to perfectly predict the number of new uniforms that need to be delivered every 4 months. Unplanned orders Occasionally both companies get a small one-off order, like special uniforms for a school event or a small number of uniforms for new staff. While CoolSchool is eager to accept these offers to boost customer satisfaction, Scrubs refuses. Scrubs argues that these orders...
