Describe the Korean cultural practice tae-kyo. Is this practice congruent with allopathic recommendations for prenatal care?

Jay and Sue Kim, ages 29 and 26 years and married for 2 years, immigrated from South Korea and settled in Los Angeles. They have lived in a small one-bedroom apartment since their arrival. Both graduated from the same Korean university with baccalaureate degrees in English literature. They have one child, Joseph, age 1 year. When they arrived in the United States, Jay was unable to find a job because of his poor proficiency in English, despite his major in English literature. He eventually obtained a job with a moving company through a church friend. Sue is not working because of their son. Although the Kim’s did not attend a church before immigration, they are now regularly attending a Korean Protestant church in their neighborhood.Sue is pregnant again, determined by a home pregnancy kit, with their second child and concerned about the medical costs. They did not use any contraceptives because she was breastfeeding. Because of financial limitations, Sue did not initially have prenatal care with her first pregnancy. However, she did keep up with the Korean traditional prenatal practice, tae-kyo. Eventually, she received help from her church and delivered a healthy son. She is not sure whether she can get financial help from her church again but is confident that her second child will be healthy if she follows the Korean traditional prenatal practices.Jay is concerned about job security because he recently heard from colleagues that the moving company might soon go bankrupt. Although Jay has not been satisfied with his current job (he thinks that he is overqualified), this news is still a cause for concern. Moreover, Sue’s recent pregnancy has made Jay more stressed, and he has started drinking alcohol. Joseph cannot stand up by himself and still wants to be breastfed. Although Sue has tried to give foods such as oranges, apples, steamed rice, and milk (because she is now pregnant), Joseph refuses to eat them and cries for breastfeeding. Joseph’s weight is low-normal for same-age babies.Describe the Korean cultural practice tae-kyo. Is this practice congruent with allopathic recommendations for prenatal care?How do food choices among Koreans differ with pregnancy and postpartum?Describe cultural attitudes toward drinking among Koreans.Identify two or three culturally congruent strategies a healthcare provider might use to address Jay’s drinking.Submission Instructions:Your initial post should be at least 500 words,formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 3 academic sources.

Compute a cost-volume-profit analysis. What are the implications of this analysis?

Southern New Hampshire University ACC 207 Final Project Guidelines and RubricOverviewThe final project for this course is the creation of a quantitative analysis with a memo to management.Classifying a company’s costs allows for an in-depth analysis of the impact that changes in output have on revenues, costs, and net income or net loss. A cost­volume-profit (CVP) analysis will be completed in order to determine the breakeven point. Relevant costs will be used to prepare a flexible budget. Additionally, an appropriate costing system should be selected and the choice should be substantiated with reasonable rationale. Finally, a memo should be prepared for management that summarizes the results of the quantitative analysis and makes recommendations for an optimal costing system to be ethically used by key decision makers.The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The quantitative analysis with a memo to management will be submitted in Module Seven.In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:· Utilize cost behavior and cost analysis to assist decision makers in planning and adding value to the business· Prepare a flexible budget for supporting informed managerial decision making· Interpret variances for determining the optimal costing system to fit an organization’s internal accounting needs· Interpret the role of ethics in cost accounting for determining its impact on decision makingPromptIn this assignment, multiple analyses will be conducted in order to obtain a company’s financial information specific to company costs.MDE manufactures outdoor garden items such as lawn ornaments and bird feeders. MDE uses a standard costing system to set standards for direct materials, labor, and overhead costs. MDE reviews and revises standards as necessary. Recently, budget variances for bird feeders have caused some concern. You, the company’s cost accountant, have been asked to examine the numbers for the product, explain the variances, and suggest ways to improve performance.Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:You will begin by using the MDE Manufacturing Budget (Table I) to analyze costs, contribution margin, and breakeven point for the bird feeder division. You will then analyze the actual costs and complete a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis to determine how many bird feeders must be sold at the current cost and sales price level to earn a $10,000 profit and how much the sales price would have to increase to earn a $10,000 profit at the same cost and sales volume level. Use Tabs 1 and 2 of the Student Workbook.. ‘I. Costsa) Classify all product and period costs appropriately.b) Compute a cost-volume-profit analysis. What are the implications of this analysis?c) Compute contribution margin per unit and contribution margin ratio.d) Determine the breakeven quantity and the breakeven revenue accurately.e) Determine if the company is breaking even. What are cost-volume-profit analysis implications on short-term planning?Your next step is to use the MDE Manufacturing Budget (Tables I, II, III, IV) to compare the budget and actual costs. Determine where variances occurred and explain why. Use Tabs 3 and 4 of the Student Workbook to present your budgets/variances and Tabs 5 and 6 for all budget/variance calculations.II. Prepare and Performa) What are your fixed costs? Segregate them in the budget model.b) Determine how variable costs change as activity measures change. How can this information be applied?c) Create the budget model, ensuring fixed costs are hard coded into the model (variable costs are stated as a percentage of the relevant activity measures or as a cost per unit of activity measure).d) Add actual activity measures to the model. Make sure all information is added accurately.e) Add the flexible budget calculations to the budget model. Make sure all information is accurate.f) Compare the flexible budget to the actual expenses. What does this inform? Be sure to discuss the following variances:i. Static budget variance, including sales volume and flexible budget variancesii. Price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct laboriii. Spending and efficiency variances for variable manufacturing overheadg) Determine the aspects of the budgeting process that are in need of improvement. Justify your response.h) Interpret what budget variances represent. Should all variances be investigated?You have also been asked to give management a recommendation on whether the company should switch from process costing to activity-based costing (ABC). This is an exploratory discussion, but management would like to know more about the difference between the two costing systems and if a different costing system might work better for the company.III. Main Costing Systems — Activity-Based Costing vs. Process Costinga) Identify the cost allocation system that would benefit this company most. Justify your response.b) Does this cost allocation system meet management planning and control goals? Explain.c) What are the ethical implications that should be considered with this cost allocation system?d) Describe the ethical implications of direct costs versus indirect costs. What considerations should be made when selecting one of these two?After all of your calculations and research, you are now ready to prepare your report.. ‘IV. Prepare a Memo to Managementa) Summarize your quantitative analysis based on your findings (include answers to all questions in Sections I, II, and III).b) Report the parts of the budgeting process that are in need of improvement. Provide suggestions to improve those parts.c) Report overall improvement recommendations to management.

identify two opening exercises that you might recommend for a group of adolescent girls who were victims of human trafficking.

Assignment: Human TraffickingGroup therapy is one of the most successful interventions for adolescents. This is because of the nature of this stage of development and the need to belong to a group. Hearing the stories of other teens and knowing that their experiences and feelings are similar is very therapeutic. Another characteristic of the adolescent stage is a short attention span, so the clinical social worker should tailor exercises that initiate and sustain discussion for adolescents.For this Assignment, watch the “Bradley” video.In a 600-word paper, identify two opening exercises that you might recommend for a group of adolescent girls who were victims of human trafficking.Describe the exercises in detail so that another social worker would be able to implement them.Explain ways these exercises might be effective in creating a comfortable environment for these teenage girls.Support your rationale with the literature. For example, what does the literature say about teenage girls who have been arrested for prostitution/human trafficking and who openly discuss their experiences?How do these exercises promote group cohesion and encourage these teens to talk openly?

Why should businesses consider the cloud and for what parts of their business?

PurposeThe product of this Assignment will prove that you are able to use professional language, identify conversational speech, effectively handle ethical concerns, format a professional memo, and use advanced features of Microsoft Word.Assignment 1 InstructionsThere are two Assignments this week. The first one will present you to some scenario where ethical violations were made by a couple of employees. The assignment includes practice in proper communication and formatting, with content relating to ethics, which are all important parts of the IT Consultant’s job. The second Assignment will send you to the Internet for researching about Cloud Computing and how the technology and services can help advance organizational goalsContentScenarioYou are the lead consultant for an IT consulting firm that specializes in software. Pearson Waters, Inc. is a large, national company that offers property and casualty insurance to businesses and individuals. Your consulting team was hired by Pearson Waters to investigate the possibility of specialized productivity software for their employees to use in storing and retrieving customer data and product details, as well as performing various estimates to show to customers. After researching options, the company approved the design of a new software package, which your team has just now completed.While you are wrapping up the project, you make some shocking discoveries:Some of the programming code completed by your team was actually copied from another company’s proprietary software.Two images used in the Employee Instruction Booklet were randomly found on the Internet, and no permission was secured for their use.These are clear ethics violations. To rectify the situation, you were forced to fire the programmer who stole the code, hire another programmer to ethically rewrite that part of the software package, reprimand the employee who stole the images, locate alternative images for which permission was granted, and reprint the Employee Instruction Booklet.Write a memo to your team about the above situation. Follow all instructions below and make sure you have also completed the unit reading:Your wording must be professional: give facts, explain ramifications, and refrain from emotional writing.Donot name the guilty employees or even specify their jobs; the idea is to explain the situation, not to write anything that could leave you open to a future lawsuit.The length of the body of your memo must be no less than 250 words and no more than 350 words.Donotuse sources – this must be written entirely in your own words without reference to any sources or quotes.Organize your memo to includeseparate paragraphsfor each of the following:Briefly explain the issues that were foundExplain how the issues were resolvedExplain how these issues affect the clientExplain how these issues affect your companyFollow the “deductive” method of writing, withmost important information at the beginningof each paragraph.Write with full sentences, and do not include any lists.Your memo’s format must follow the instructions given below. You will therefore be responsible for the formatting; Assignments submitted on ready-made templates willnotbe accepted.Assignment RequirementsMemo formatting (Required)A memo is a method of communication used within a company to share important information between coworkers or from administrators to employees, etc. While they can be several pages long, memos can also be rather short.The formatting of a memo and the organization of its contents arenotlike college papers. When you do your Assignment for this unit, use these instructions to create a memo starting in a new, clean Word document:With the exception of the word “Memo” (see below), useonly Times New Roman font size 12 or Arial font size 10 or 12.Use left-alignment for the entire memo.The heading:Type the word Memo at the top. Press the enter key twice.The address block:Click on the ruler at 1? to set tabs.Type To: and press the tab key. Type the name of the person or group for whom this memo is intended.On the next line, type From: and press the tab key. Type your name.On the next line, type Date: and press the tab key. Type the date.On the next line, type Re: (this means “Regarding”) and press the tab key. Type a short phrase to provide a descriptive of title for your memo.You can make the headings To: From: Date: and Re: bold if you wish, but do not make any other content bold.Press the enter key twice. Type three hyphens ( – ) and press the enter key. A line should now appear across your document. Press the enter key again.You can remove the tab marker on the ruler by clicking and dragging it away.The body:Type the paragraphs for your memo.Write in full sentences.Each paragraph should begin with the most important information, followed by details. This is called “deductive” writing.Since the idea is to get to your point rather quickly, most memo paragraphs tend to be short 4–7 lines long.Provide a blank line between paragraphs.Donot write a salutation (“Dear Joe”).Donot sign the memo.Donot indent paragraphs; memos are in “block style.”For one-page memos such as our Assignment this week, do not use any subheadings.Final formatting:Return to the word Memo and make it larger and heavier than the rest of the memo. Recommended: Arial Black font size 24.You can double space (or use 1.5 spacing) for the address block if you wish.Advanced use of Word (Required)To show an understanding of your communication vehicle (Microsoft Word), you must also include the following in your memo. Bothtrack changesandcommentsare found on the Review ribbon.Write just one phrase in your memo that would be considered “conversational.” If you are unsure what this means, use a search engine to learn more about conversational speech and clichés.Then highlight the conversational phrase, click on the track changes button in the Review ribbon, and type a more appropriate wording. Your Assignment will show the “mistake” as well as the correction. An example:Highlight the date in your heading and then click on “New Comment” in the Review ribbon. In the resulting comment bubble, type the following message (presumably to your administrative assistant): When should we send this?
