...10.35 A. A static budget is an accounting tool that is completed before the budget periods that are being forecasted and fixed for the whole period covered by the budget without any changes and based on actual activity. If sales volumes change, then we will not need to change the amounts listed in the static budget (What is a Static Budget, 2013). To get the static budget for the next period, the prior year’s results can be used. For the 20X9 the 20X8 results can used as the basis for the benchmark. B. We start by adjusting the 20X8 variable costs to show the activities of 20X9. The 20X9 amounts can also be adjusted for any known price changes. 20X9 estimates Divide each variable cost by the level of of activity of 20X8, then multiply by the 20X9 level of activity. The following are variable costs incurred. Homemakers: [($60,046 / 4,312 visits) X 5,101 visits] =$71,033 Medical supplies: [($18,197 / 4,312 visits) X 5,101 visits] = 21,527 Cleaning supplies [($6,894 / 4,312 visits) X 5,101 visits] = 8,155 Transportation [($9,068 / 4,312 visits) X 5,101 visits] =10,727 The following are fixed costs incurred. For the 20X9 estimates, these costs are adjusted to show any known increases using the following Nurses: 1/3 year’s salary ($135,378 / 3) $ 45,126 2/3 year’s salary [(($135,378 105%) / 3) X 2] 94,765 $45,126 plus $94,765=$139,891 Therefore, the 20X9 benchmark and variances are 20X8 20X9 20X9 Costs Actual Benchmark Actual Variance (Difference) ...

...Nigerian universities from the psychological perspectives of morality and motivation. The need and procedure for confronting the problem of academic dishonesty via academic integrity policy are advocated; and specific obligations and responsibilities of academic staff, students and administration in evolving academic integrity climate in universities are identified. Collaborative efforts among universities in engendering academic integrity climate; and collaborative research work in related areas are considered important and called for in the paper. INTRODUCTION It is no longer news that academic dishonesty remains one of the major challenges of the Nigerian education system (Olasehinde, 2000; Olasehinde-Williams, Abdullahi & Owolabi, 2003). – Literature is also replete with plausible explanations for the ‘culture’ of academic dishonesty (Olasehinde et al. 2003); and researchers have proposed variety of methods of dealing with the same (Crown & Spiller, 1998; Marzean, 2001). Deriving from such proposals for instance, it is new commonplace in most universities, to take such measures as alternate seating arrangements and identity checks in order to reduce cases of examination dishonesty. It should however be worrisome, particularly to educationists that despite such regulations and recommendations, designed to deter it; academic dishonesty remains endemic on many campuses (Crown & Spiller, 1998; Olasehinde et. Al, 2003). To what then, can the apparently low success rate of the deterrent...

There is an agreement between Peter, John and Gilbert to commit the robbery that is an illegal act, and for dishonesty, they intentionally assist the robbery, Peter is responsible for arranging a car for escaping and John is responsible for pretend to be a customer in order to divert the attention of the manager.

The intention of assist in the robbery and dishonesty are mens reas. Conspiracy To Robbery refers to s.159A of Crime Ordinance and s.10 of Theft Ordinance.

As a Wall Street icon, they disappointed the public and being irresponsible towards their actions, against the ethnical issue by not being honest to review the actual situation of the company, but using others method to cover it annual report. In my opinion, the top management is the main issue that caused the downfall of Lehman Brothers. According to the case study, it mentioned the major problem at Lehman was culture and reward, it showed the top management of the company did not have a structure way to motivate and guide their employees on the appropriate way of doing tasks.

...longer embarrassed by it”. Aside from this common attitude among students, many professors also list the enhancements of technology such as text messaging and the internet as major contributing factors to aid students in cheating. In September, 2004, The Washington Post released an article about academic dishonesty. They acknowledged there is a problem with students cheating in college and that technology has worsened what was already an area of growing concern. However, rather than focus their energy on stiff punishment and court trials they present prevention over consequences as the way to fight the cheating. “Our first and most important line of defense against academic dishonesty is simply good teaching. Cheating and plagiarism often arise in a vacuum created by routine, lack of interest and overwork” [2]. “The second remedy is to encourage the development of integrity in our students. A sense of responsibility about one's intellectual development would preclude cheating and plagiarizing as inconsistent with one's identity. It is precisely this sense of individual integrity that schools with honor codes seek to promote” [2]. My recommendations for academic dishonesty come from these ideas but take them yet a step further. I believe a program must be put in place. At the beginning of every registration period, every incoming student whether freshmen or...

...You can ask any college or university what they consider about plagiarism and they will tell you that they have zero tolerance. The reasoning for this is because students should be there to learn and not copy and paste other people’s information. In an academic setting your punishment could be any of the following: suspended, expelled, and/or your academic records may be penalized. If you participate in plagiarism on the legal end your punishment maybe far worse. Plagiarism dealing with money, jobs, and rewards is considered breaking the law. The penalties can be anything from a fine to time in jail to a felony. Plagiarism can be avoided in all cases.
