...Computer Assignment II Anton Saadeh 10995740 BUS 503 Accounting Information for Decision Making University of La Verne May 3rd , 2010 MEMORANDUM Date: May 3, 2010 To: Allyn T. Brown, President of Global Electronic Company From: Anton Saadeh Subject: Sensitivity Analysis for the 1st Quarter, 20X1 Scope and objective of the work performed We analyzed the Global Electronic Company’s budget for the first quarter. The analysis is included retained earnings, income statement and balance sheet. From the analysis of the paper, cash flow has changed because of the collections from sales on account during the first quarter. The company collects the cash in three months when the sale is made. The biggest amount was collected in the last month of the payment. Significance of the sensitivity analysis Sensitivity analysis is a method used to clarify how different values of an independent variable will impact a particular dependent variable under a set of assumptions. Sensitivity analysis helps us to understand how conditions changing in setting budget affected the financial statement of the company in order to avoid the company bankruptcy. There are five different models used for the sensitivity analysis. In this assignment I used sensitivity analysis and it helped me to recognize the changes in the income statement, statement of retained earnings, and the balance sheet under four scenarios. The first model contains the data...

...Admissible Reparations The truth, however masked or denied, is as TS Elliot puts it, “hell is oneself, hell is alone, and the other figures in it are merely projections”. Each and every person has the ability to choose his own actions, and therefore must be responsible for their consequences. Of course, the others in this ‘personal hell’ may have physically or mentally injured us; but that does not mean that we should, in this, result living in hell, but can rather choose to live in paradise. Take injustice, the easiest way to allow our lives to turn into sheer nightmare. Inequality, or discrimination happens in our society, purely because that one is of a different nationality, different status, different abilities and talents; to the point even when appearance could be taken in and laughed at. Injustice is everywhere, and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it entirely; as Kino from The Pearl (Stein) and Santiago from The Old Man and The Sea (Hem), the two protagonists from the respective novellas experiences. The former lives in poverty, right next to palaces; and the other has not, being a fisherman, caught any fish for a continuous eighty four days. These unfortunate events, however, is only the basis for their undeserved discrimination. Such happenings contribute to creating a ‘living hell’ towards the both men; it is only a place among internal conflict, pain and hardship that makes the protagonists who they are in the end. Both Kino and Santiago, strive for...

...30 St Mary Axe, also known as the “Gherkin,” is one of Norman Foster’s works that has sparked London’s new architectural movement. This movement consists of structures with steel and glass, a round-shape, and unused designs. I chose this structure because of its odd-shape and towering height; it’s not very common to see this specific design in major cities around the world. The Gherkin is a missile-shaped skyscraper that incorporates Foster’s combination of steel and glass; its height and shape draws the eyes of every Londoner. The building tends to stand out to many due to its surrounding of outdated, smaller structures. While there are many older buildings surrounding it, the Gherkin is also located in one of the more updated parts of the...

...Vaulting Kimberly Gottschalk In the 11th century, we see the development of a new vaulting type. This vault is called the barrel vault and is perched by a mount, making it an irregular shape. This type of vaulting can be found in the church of St. Martin in Pyrenees. Barrel vaults are typically very narrow because of how the arches are formed at the roof. St. Martin’s church vault is made of stone and contains transverse arches, which go across the roof of the vault, and piers, that run vertical up the arches, to help maintain its structure since it’s very heavy. This vaulting type doesn’t allow in much light, making it hard to see at times. A different type of vaulting we begin to see is the intersecting barrel vault, also known as rolling vaults. An example of a place with this type of vaulting would be in the St. Philibert of Cornell. This vault type allows you to have more windows and is constructed more easily since it can be done in segments. It is also more spacious, compared to the barrel vault, which ends up getting its name “the growing vault.” However, there is a downside to this construction. Because it needs a lot of scaffolding, it is often off center. Even with this setback, the development of this type of vaulting moves forward in to the future. Moving forward, we begin to see changes to the growing vaults. These changes lead to our ribbed growing vaults. An example of a place with these are the Durham Cathedral. Ribbed growing vaults have a skeleton with...

...Small Creatures of the Night Imagine for a minute, you’re walking through the forest at night on the eastern fronts of Australia. As you’re walking you catch a glimpse of something that seems to be flying overhead. Naturally, your first thought would be, it must be a bird or maybe even a bat. Just as you think this you catch another glimpse, but this time you can see that it doesn’t appear to be flapping any wings, and looks almost square in shape. What is this thing? Where did it come from? Is it going to hurt me? These creatures of the night resemble flying squirrels and are better known as Sugar Gliders. These creatures of the night are also becoming more noticeable in homes across the United States as cute pets. Most people have never heard of a Sugar Glider before and didn’t even know you can keep them as pets. So, what is a Sugar Glider? And how do you take care of one? The scientific name of a Sugar Glider is Petaurus breviceps; which, if broken down into it Latin roots, means Short-headed Rope-Dancer. They get their name Sugar Glider from two different aspects of their life. They love to eat sweet foods, such as: fruits, nectars, and saps, which hint at the first part of their name Sugar. The second part is probably even easier to see and understand, Glider because they’re very agile and acrobatic in the air. The can spread they’re arms and legs to produce a very thin skin membrane called Patagia. Their patagium, when fully spread, allows them to glide upwards of...

..." Gaudi was born in Reus in 1852, and he was the son of a coppersmith. He attended the School of Architecture in Barcelona from 1874 till 1878. Gaudi spent his entire life in Barcelona. He was very stubborn, and didn't care about what others thought. At first people rejected his work, but then they learned to love it, and when he died, many mourned his death. Gaudi's designs integrated sculptural elements, perhaps because he often used three-dimensional models rather than relying only upon two-dimensional drawings. He is remembered for using ornate ironwork, curved and warped surfaces, textured tiles and building materials, and mosaics. Perhaps Gaudi's greatest achievement was the development of the "slanted" column to replace the flying buttresses used in Gothic and Romanesque cathedrals. His columns leaned on a slight angle and branched at the top to further support the ceiling stresses of the tall and open buildings. He studied the angles and curves of natural structures--such as trees--to find solutions for stress support problems that had impeded architects for...

...One person that has affected my life is Steven Ellison, or better known as his alias Flying Lotus. He is a multi-genre music producer, composer, and rapper, from Los Angeles, California. Before making music, he was already slightly well-known for being the nephew of John and Alice Coltrane. Music is a big part of my life. When I began seriously collecting and listening to music, Flying Lotus really influenced and expanded my tastes. But when asked to do a quick presentation on someone that changed your life, why would I choose a musician? I always have a problem when I focus on school because I want to do what I want to do. I want to do things for the right reasons and because I enjoy it, not for a paycheck. Most artists have this dilemma as well. But most artists also sell their identities for money. I respect what he does. He enjoys what he does for a career, makes many people happy, and does it for himself. He stays true to himself and people respect him for it. He collaborates with many different artists, and is in it for the long run. I find it inspiring and am trying to shape my career like he shaped his. Ellison has five studio albums, a handful of Eps, and one rap mixtape. He produced a ton of music for Adult Swim as well. Everything he does is very different, but it is always very appealing to the senses. Here is some of the artwork. This month, he posted a tweet regarding his new album, which clearly shows the reason I chose him, over a...

...Technology in the 20th Century HUM/300 Technology in the 20th Century Technology is rapidly evolving and has been for many years. Scientists and inventors are always on the lookout to invent something to make the average person’s daily life easier. The 20th century brought many technological advances in the world from the television to the air conditioner. Many of the technologies so fundamental to everyday life came from advancement during this time. The author of the paper will discuss three technological developments in the 20th century including: the airplane, the automobile, and the computer. The Airplane For centuries humans wanted to invent a device that would allow them to fly like birds. Kites, gliders, and air balloons were many of man’s creations to attempt to derive the privilege of flying. Two men, Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright, were the first to find some success in inventing a device that enabled flying. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers flew there invention for the first time. However, this was only a small start because their aircraft did not fly very high and it only stayed in the air for about a minute. Although this was a small triumph in the goal of flight it marked the beginning of the technological advances that produced the modern airplane. When the Wright brothers invented their aircraft they received immediate recognition and other inventors and aviators worked hard at inventing a better aircraft. In 1909, Louis Bleriot, a French...

...Memo The Toronto Ultimate Club (TUC) is located in Toronto, Ontario and is a non-for-profit organization that focused on growing the sport of Ultimate Frisbee (Ultimate). As a result of their previous strategic plan TUC ‘s membership has stopped declining, but the general manager Jason Robinson was still not satisfied. The competition between TUC and for-profit organizations has increased, forcing TUC to develop a new marketing plan focusing on new strategies for fiscal 2009. The alternatives TUC has are to stay with the traditional standard Ultimate rules or to modify the “house rules” like the competitors. TUC can offer additional team recreational leagues like hockey, football, etc. or stay with Ultimate. TUC has the choice to stay with recreational and competitive or add a beginner, all-woman/male leagues, as well as offer clinics and modify prices. They need to decide whether to continue sponsoring the touring teams or focus on marketing abilities in other areas. The target markets TUC should be more aggressive in are the visible minorities, young professionals and secondary school students. Toronto was one of the most multicultural cities in the world where visible minorities made up 47% of the cities population. Focusing on this segment shows that TUC cares about diversity and that this sport is open to and for anyone. TUC’s current market is focused on competitive players aged 22-40, focusing solely on young professionals in their 20’s would add to the current...

...was not the type of movie we were about to watch. When the narrator starts introducing the three orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. The first shot looked similar to the painting “Persistence of Memory” by surrealist painter Salvador Dali. In each shot, one of them was in a barren field surrounded by a body of water with a few dead trees. It was expressing the loneliness of the children and was as if telling, if they make a mistake, they will die. The title of Dali’s painting matched with one of the children Klaus’s characteristic too. Klaus remembered everything he reads; “Persistence of Memory.” House of Count Olaf was very Gothic. His entrance door shape was a pointed arch. As soon as the children come inside the house, there are flying buttresses around the entrance. Most of the light source looked like sunlight through the windows, which is another characteristic of Gothic architecture. Natural lighting made the interior look cold and dirty. The word “Gothic” was used by Giorgio Vasari to describe the culture he considered rude and barbaric in 1530s, and it suits the characteristic of Olaf. Gothic style was used to build castles and palaces. To the kind of person who wants to make the children his own servants, it was a great theme. Gothic style worked very well for Olaf’s house and it helped emphasize the creepiness of Olaf. There are “eye” marks/patterns all over his house and...

...all time, For one second I do not believe that this was an era art decline. I think this was an era of fascinating Buildings and awesome glass art like the Stonemasons and sculptors looking at this glass art is just cool they way they were even able to make such detail into glass. Almost like they were trying to show you that you can make art out of anything that nothing is impossible they were getting even more creative. With the Romanesque influences you can see it in the cathedrals and the other buildings. But with the new Gothic cathedrals it says in the chapter that this was an era of “technological innovations”. I really agree with this statement because with the buildings they had lofty masonry rib vaults on point arches help by flying external buttresses and internal illuminated with mystical light steaming through huge colored glass windows. That right there just shows you the that this truly was an era of technological innovations because the way they were able to build these monstrous cathedrals is amazing. I also liked the fact that some of these cathedrals real but the name in Gothic to me they looked really big and a little spooky I mean by no mean did half of these cathedrals look anywhere near a place of worship they looked dark and gloomy almost like a haunted house. An example of what I am talking about is looking at the West Facade of Saint Maclou ,rouen France. The description for this is the high Gothic style I mean this has everything that is a description...
