Prepare an annual program budget for the stratton township park

MHA 5001 Unit VII Homework
 
Please read “The Stratton Township Park” on pages 308-311 in your course textbook. Complete questions 1-5 listed below and found on pages 310-311 using the information found in the case study and any of the required reading. Compile your answers in a Word document, and upload it in Blackboard.
 
 
Question 1:
 
Prepare an annual program budget for the Stratton Township Park including golf operations; the pool; concerts; other park activities including tours, nature visitors, and general concessions; and administrative costs. Show the line-item details for each function by natural account and summarize the budget for the park as a whole.
 
Because of the current fiscal situation, the Stratton Township needs to reduce its operating costs. As usual, the park is on the list of targeted operations. As the finance director for the township, you have been asked to work with the park’s manager to explore possible options.
 
Question 2:
 
Based on the information in the budget, find the break-even green fees for the golf course and the break-even admissions charges for the pool. You may assume that the volume of users will not change with increases in pricing. You may also assume that the course will operate for a full 130 days.
 
a)      Do both break even analyses based on the cost of delivering services with and without the allocated management salaries.
b)      Do you think the park can realistically charge these fees to park users? What might the consequences of raising fees be economically, politically, and in a public relations sense?
 
Question 3:
 
The park manager wants to know whether it makes sense to shut down one or more of the operations at the Stratton Township Park. Determine the impact of shutting down the golf course, the pool, the concert series, and the tours, and show the overall marginal impact of making each of these changes. Be sure to include all marginal revenues and all marginal expenses in your calculations.
 
Question 4:
 
After completing these analyses, the manager has decided to recommend three changes to the Park’s budget.
 
First, he plans to increase green fees for golf to $5 above the break-even price excluding allocated management costs and rounded to the next highest multiple of $.50. Since competitive private clubs in the region cost $100 or more for a round of golf, he does not believe that an increase in price will result in a decline in the number of golfers using the course.
 
Second, he wants to raise pool admission charges to $4.50. Given the demographics of those who use the pool, he believes that raising prices by $1.00 will result in a 5% drop in attendance.
 
Third, he wants to eliminate three of the concerts the township had planned for the next year.
 
Prepare a revised budget for the Stratton Township Park reflecting these changes. Will these budget modifications meet the township’s goal of reducing the subsidy it would have given to the park in the next fiscal year by 20%?
 
Question 5:
 
After receiving your analysis of the impact of eliminating the concerts and raising green fees and pool admission charges, the park manager has asked you to come up with some additional proposals for meeting the township’s subsidy reduction goal. What would you recommend?

STRATEGIC MARKETING PLAN
INTRODUCTION
This assignment entails development of a comprehensive strategic marketing plan for a new product or service that is ready to “go to market”. A Project Template is provided that allows you to organize your work in increments and see how the sections come together to produce a comprehensive plan.
PRODUCT/SERVICE
This assignment requires application of concepts learned to build a strategic marketing plan for a new product or service that is ready to “go to market”. You will not be allowed to mimic plans or ideas from larger or already “in-place” campaigns. You must develop the business concept in its entirety.

Describe the new product or service.
Discuss the qualities that make this product/service new to the marketplace and the rationale for your decision to pursue the concept. Be sure to pick a product or service that is ready to market. If you are developing a new product, assume that the development phase is over and you are ready to launch the product into the marketplace.

OBJECTIVES/MISSION STATEMENT
Create a Mission Statement. State your short-term MARKETING objectives (one year). Assume that the product/service is ready to launch at the beginning of the year (planning and testing have been completed).

Marketing objectives include goals for sales, profits, market share (as examples)
Objectives need to be quantifiable. Use the SMART acronym – simple, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-specific – in formulating your objectives. An objective with a 100% goal is not acceptable

TARGET MARKET
Identify your target market. Provide a specific demographic profile and rationale for this decision. Another source that may help you: The US Census Bureau’s American Fact Finder. Consider the size of the market and its purchasing power. Research is required to back-up your selection and to provide statistics to show that it is a viable market.
COMPETITION
Analyze your competition. Who are they? Who are the biggest players? How large is the market? What are the trends/forecasts in the industry? How does your product/service fit in? Hoover’s Pro in the Library is a good tool for this section; it may be accessed under Find Web Resources.
PRODUCT/SERVICE FEATURES
Provide a brief overview of the product or service.

State the features of your product/service. Show how it’s innovative and different. It may be unique because of the area in which you plan to market it.
Discuss legal and ethical implications that could affect the marketing process. This will require research.

CORE STRATEGY
Discuss your Core Strategy and make sure to connect it to your Mission & Objectives. Include a discussion on Product/Service Positioning.
MARKETING MIX: COMMUNICATIONS & PROMOTION
The Marketing Mix is the set of decisions about communications and promotion, price, channels of distribution, and customer relationship management. An integrated marketing communications (IMC) approach delivers a clear and consistent message to your consumers and is connected to your Core Strategy.

Discuss the aspects of the IMC. (The elements of the communication mix include: advertising, direct marketing, sales promotion, publicity/public relations and personal selling.) Define each and discuss the pros and cons of the individual elements.
Provide a detailed description of your IMC approach. Explain your rationale for choosing or rejecting the specific elements (include applications to the earlier research section). What changes do you expect to make as the product/service matures?
Describe the message you wish to communicate based on your core strategy. Explain your rationale for the message. Formulate how you will communicate with your target market? Be specific. How will the internet be used in your IMC approach?
Select and explain the most suitable method for measuring advertising effectiveness. Your decision must include research to back up the selected method. Be sure to explain why this is the most effective method to measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaign.

MARKETING MIX: PRICE
Discuss what pricing objectives you would consider for your product/service. The Objectives should be based on the various theories presented in marketing literature and take in to account competitor pricing. Including background on value proposition, positioning, and target market is necessary. All of these components provide rationale for the chosen pricing scheme.
MARKETING MIX: CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION
Channels of Distribution: Specify the type of distribution channel you will use and include rationale.
MARKETING MIX; CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
Customer Relationship Management -Detail how you will incorporate CRM into your plan. Be sure to include a discussion on the role of technology that will be used to support your CRM.

Assignment 4 – due 18 july at 1500est

10 pages including references. Read project description carefully; especially grading rubic..
Objective: Students will prepare an interview methodology and outline complete with instructions for the examiner.  This will incorporate aspects of the interview process specific to a digital forensics examination.  This will include developing a base interview script for interviewing victims, potential perpetrators, and other sources that can help provide insight into the investigation.  Consideration should be given to developing an outline that documents information obtained from an interview.
Course Goals:
1. Develop and utilize a methodology for digital evidence collection, preservation, and analysis.
2. Develop incident response plan and procedures for a variety of digital forensic situations.
3. Evaluate environment for global/international influences and determine implications on forensic procedures.
5. Appraise appropriate digital forensic techniques for Network, Internet, and Cloud-based environments.
8. Incorporate validated forensic results into appropriate action plans, reporting, information sharing, and information archiving procedures.
 Scenario: Your purpose is to develop a methodology to standardize the interview process for digital forensic examinations, as well as share information across incidents.  The methodology should be adaptable to a variety of situations and circumstances, and should have the ability to be modified and improved.  Outlining the methodology will provide for consistency in investigations, as well as helping to ensure that information and processes are not overlooked. 
 Deliverables: Develop an interview methodology for a digital forensic examination that includes instructions and definitions for the examiner. This could manifest itself as a series of forms and online resources.  It is important that your product is readily available to an investigator (for example, an examiner may be in the field where web access isn’t possible).   Be sure to include proper document support where appropriate.  Deliverable should include an outline/overview of the methodology. Please make sure to look up the term ‘methodology’ if you are unfamiliar with it.

Managing hazardous material and waste course project

This is the scenario and I have also put it in attachment.
 
Congratulations! You have just become the safety manager for Podunk University. Your position is at the campus in Podunk, Colorado, and your predecessor left the job a year and a half ago. There has been nobody in the position during that interval. The commitment of the institution to safety is dubious at best, but you are looking forward to starting your new position and making a positive change.
 
After introducing yourself to the secretary you share with a half dozen other, more senior, people, you decide to focus on hazardous material and hazardous waste issues since you just completed a great college course on those topics. You tour the campus and discover that the following departments and programs are yours to deal with:
· The biology department has animal dissection, human dissection, a microbiology lab, and a medical laboratory education program that uses small quantities of a lot of chemicals.
· The chemistry department has chemicals that have never been inventoried and a new forensics program (as in CSI, not in college debate).
· The physics department has high-voltage equipment, lasers, and LEDs.
· The English department has lots and lots of books and papers, as well as photocopiers.
· The math department has lots of computers and whiteboards.
· The automotive technology department has everything pertaining to auto repair, including solvents, asbestos brake linings, pneumatic tools, waste oil, and cutting and grinding tools.
· The Massive Arena is one of the original buildings on campus and has a variety of interesting problems, including asbestos insulation, and the building is undergoing a massive renovation.
 
Respond to each of the following questions:
1. Where do you start?
2. Where should you focus your initial HazCom efforts? In what order do you tackle the rest of the departments?
3. What are the HazCom issues in the automotive technology department?
4. What are the hazardous waste issues in the automotive technology department?
5. What are the HazCom issues in the chemistry department?
6. What are the hazardous waste issues in the chemistry department?
7. With the Massive Arena renovation, who are the people to whom you need to communicate hazards?
8. What are your main concerns with the physics department?
9. What are the hazardous material/waste spill response issues for the university, and how should you prepare for them?
10. Is any HazCom training needed for the English and math departments?
11. What are some resources for finding out how to solve the HazCom issues?
12. You must choose technology or trainers to do the needed training. What are some issues to consider when selecting these?
13. Due to budget cuts, you have to do the training yourself, and you will use PowerPoint. What are some
considerations when developing your PowerPoint Presentation?
14. How can you evaluate your training to ensure that it is accomplishing your goals?
15. One of the chemistry professors working with some of the automotive technology faculty members, invents a new nonflammable compound that will render obsolete the need for solvents to degrease auto parts. She wants to market the stuff. What needs to be done before it can be marketed, and who should do it?
16. The University decides to partner with the chemistry professor and market this new compound. Due to the lack of flammability, it is a great hit nationwide. They then decide to market it worldwide. What concerns need to be addressed?
17. It turns out that this wonderful new compound makes a really great explosion when used in conjunction with another chemical. As the University is manufacturing the compound in large quantities and storing it on the grounds, what concerns do you now have? What experts should you consult?
18. The biology department has been busy as well. The little microbiology lab is large now, and they are working with stronger pathogens. How would you determine the new hazard communication requirements and things that you should do beyond that minimum?
After a tough five years, you have the Podunk University campus running smoothly. Everybody is trained, and your successor will not have nearly as much of a challenge as you did. Congratulations, and best wishes on your next challenge!
Your submission must be a minimum of four pages double-spaced, not including the title and reference pages, and in APA format. Support your answers to the questions with appropriate references and in-text citations.

Course project | Human Resource Management homework help

Objectives

Select, develop, and analyze two mini case studies. The purpose of this project is to identify a successful strategy and compare and contrast it with an unsuccessful strategy, with the aim of identifying critical success factors (CSFs). You may select two strategies developed in the same company or from entirely different companies—or, indeed, different industries.
 
Case studies are used extensively in teaching business. Typically students perform an analysis on a case study prepared by an author or the professor—in this instance, the student is the author of the cases. The case study research strategy provides the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of an organization or event—data can be collected from multiple sources (for example, company websites, interviews, or published articles).
 
Please select two examples that reflect success and failure—collect data from multiple sources and develop two mini case studies of 500 words in length. Perform a cross-case analysis by comparing and contrasting the case studies on points of parity and points of difference. This should entail developing a framework, similar to many of the frameworks presented in class (e.g., SWOT or Five Forces) and analyzing the key data in your case studies. The analysis should be presented after your case studies and should be followed by a brief concluding statement and references in APA format.

Guidelines

Mini Case I: (Success): Sufficient length begins with general points and moves to a focus on specifics, evidence of success, good quality content—relevant, accurate, and timely.
 
Mini Case II: (Failure): Sufficient length begins with general points and moves to a focus on specifics, evidence of failure, good quality content—relevant, accurate, and timely.
 
Cross-Case Analysis: Once you have completed your cases you need to conduct a cross-case analysis. This requires comparing the two cases to determine points of similarity and points of difference.
 
Research Skills: Each case uses four to six sources, and sources are cited in the text and at the end of the case study in APA format.
 
Writing Skills: Ideas are communicated clearly in business English and using the appropriate business terminology. Work should be prepared following the development of a rough draft, revision, editing, and proofing to produce a final polished report.
 
A successful project will meet all of these requirements to earn a maximum of 200 points. At the conclusion of this project it will be beneficial to compare what factors are selected by your peers. Are there patterns here?
 
Milestones
 

Week 1: Select company strategies, read supporting documents in Doc Sharing.

Weeks 2–7: Research and prepare rough draft and analysis, followed by revision, editing, and proofing—obtaining feedback.
Week 8: Submit Final Report.

Best Practices

The Process for Developing a Case Study and Cross-Case Analysis

Generate topic ideas (brainstorm – use your experience – your interests – career oriented choices).
Develop initial ideas (explore the Internet – library data bases).
Select a topic (find the best fit between assignment and information/interest/experience obtained).
Develop a research question/set of questions  –  e.g. Why did this strategy succeed? (answering this question this will guide data collection and helps interpret results).
Data collection and analysis:

Decide on suitable sources and means to access these sources
Conduct interviews/observations, if appropriate
Collect published sources and record publication details (use APA format)
Review data and determine gaps that need to be filled
Determine case study structure (chronological or organized around key events/issues)
Interpret data in relation to the initial research question

Develop an outline – Say what you are going to say – Say it – Say you have said it (i.e. Introduction – Main body – Summary and conclusion).
Develop a rough draft, revise, edit and proof – this is critical to producing a good quality document.
A good case study should be:

Significant
Complete
Consider alternative perspectives
Display sufficient evidence
Be written in an engaging manner

Cross-Case Analysis
Once you have completed your cases you need to conduct a cross-case analysis. This requires comparing the two cases (or more) to determine point of similarity and points of difference. The objective is to determine the critical success factors (CSFs). What are the key factors that led to success? Understanding success also involves studying failure.
The following framework might be helpful. You should identify factors for comparison based on the characteristics of your own cases.  Such factors might be charismatic leadership, global growth, effective value chain network.
The CSFs are based on your judgment of the evidence you have collected, and should emerge as you work through this framework. What are the key factors that have led to success. It will be beneficial to compare what factors are selected by your peers. Are there patterns here?
You can present your analysis in your report as a figure, but remember to introduce it and comment on what it means and present your CSFs in the text. Remember to number your figure and give it a title, e.g. Figure 1: Cross-Case Analysis, see below:
Figure 1: Cross-Case Analysis

Psychological Impact of Diabetes
Prior to engaging in this discussion, read Chapter 5 in your text, watch the Peter Attia: Is the obesity crisis hiding a bigger problem?video, and review any relevant Instructor Guidance.
For this discussion, please reference the information in the SOC313 Family Document. Lila Miller Goldberg is a 45-year-old diabetic. Since her pregnancy years ago, she has had difficulty losing weight.  She has Type II insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and has been symptomatic for more than 10 years.  She has been resistant about changing her diet and has been inconsistent with treatment, despite her health.  She always hated her mother Ella’s fixation on nutrition while she was growing up, the different diets she tried, and the “weird meals” she prepared.  She prefers quick and easy convenience foods, such as fast food and frozen meals.  After all, she is a busy working mom! She has never liked to exercise and, with the pain that has developed in her feet, it is physically too difficult. 
Analyze and discuss the relationship between Lila’s environment growing up, her physiology, and her attitudes and behaviors.  Use the following questions to guide your explanation, and be certain to apply basic medical terminology as appropriate.

How might Lila’s condition affect her thinking, her relationships, and social situations? In what ways might these factors worsen her condition?
How has Lila’s aversion to her mother’s dietary fanaticism while she was growing up affected her choices and, as a result, her health?
How might Lila’s condition of being overweight affect her relationships?
How might others in Lila’s family and community view her, and how might this affect how she views herself?
What do you believe are Lila’s options at this time? Explain your choices.
If you were Lila’s close friend, how might you counsel her based upon your understanding of the
Biopsychosocial aspects related to her circumstances? Provide a statement from at least one of the required and/or recommended resources that supports your reasoning.

Your initial post must be a minimum of 150 words with at least one scholarly source beyond your textbook.

Math week 4 | Nursing homework help

To practice using the statistical techniques we are learning, you need to collect some data to use for the remainder of the course. Create a survey and administer it to at least 30 people. You can do this via any of the popular online survey websites such as SurveyMonkey© or SurveyGizmo©. Both of these are free online tools you can use to create an anonymous online survey.
Sharing the link on social media and/or having classmates participate should help you get to 30+ participants quickly. Remember to assure them that the results are anonymous. Getting at least 30 responses is not optional. Don’t forget friends, family, and co-workers. You must have at least 30 respondents. Your survey should include a question of your choosing as well as the following three demographic questions:

What is your current age?
Are you male or female?
What is your current annual household income?

You can include any other questions you wish. Here are some examples:

How many hours a day do you spend on social media?
In an average week, how many minutes do you participate in exercise?
How many hours per week do you watch television?

Strong Suggestion: Do not have choices as your options. Leave the question blank for your respondent to input their answer.
Place your survey link in both your initial response to this post and in the Week 4 Discussion Board titled Post your survey link. Please help out your classmates and participate in each other’s surveys in order to help one another collect a minimum of 30 responses.
Once you have administered the survey, input the data collected in StatCrunch to utilize in subsequent week’s discussion questions. 
Post the link to your survey and collect a minimum of 30 responses. Please note: You may complete this discussion prompt prior to collecting all 30 responses to your survey. 
Describe the question(s) you included in your survey. Why did you choose the question you included? After administering the survey, do you still think it was a good question to ask? Why or why not?

The common practice in the current job market is to submit a resume and cover letter when applying for the opportunity identified. While these two documents are significant, designing and presenting a professional portfolio is equally essential.  A professional portfolio ensures that the applicant provides the potential employer with more information about individual work and achievement (Nkonki, 2016). Therefore, two of the most suitable professional portfolio development strategies include:
Collecting examples of their works
A professional portfolio is based on individual qualifications and achievements. Therefore, collecting samples of their works to help the potential employer to better understand the applicant as an individual and as a profession. These examples of personal work, may include evaluations, reports, and surveys, specific materials designed in college, or the previous place of work. In most cases, employers look beyond the academic qualification of an individual, which means that the inclusion of these works increases the chances of qualifying for an opportunity (Galán-Mañas, 2018). Besides, a candidate can go a step further and include photos of themselves working to prove that they participated in these activities.
Ensure that individual documents are organized clearly and concisely
 In essence, the primary objective of creating a professional portfolio is improving the visibility and credibility of an individual, which can be enhanced by a concise organization of personal documents. Putting the documents in a particular order, such as from the most important to less significant, shows the employers that the candidate is serious about the job.  Therefore, the candidate needs to ensure that all documents are up to date, clean, and organized in such a way that the employers or the audience do not spend more time to locate a particular document (Ahmed & Ward, 2016). For example, an individual might arrange his or her work from recent achievements to past achievements. Such a strategy shows that an individual has higher organizational skills.

Assignment 3 Mobile Computing and Social Networking
Mobile computing has dramatically changed how information is accessed and shared. Wireless networking has been an enabler of mobile computing. One profession that mobile computing has had a big impact on is health care management. Patients are now able to monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure, glucose levels, etc. without having to periodically visit a doctor’s office or hospital. There are devices such as the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor that works with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to record, track, and graph a patient’s blood pressure. There are other devices that can measure blood glucose levels, oxygen levels, heart rate, etc. and use an iPhone to send the results to a clinical server. Doctors and caregivers are then able to access the data on the clinical server.
 
According to the American College of Gastroenterology, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are used as powerful platforms to deliver and receive health care information. Patients and caregivers are increasingly going online to connect and share experiences with others with similar medical issues or concerns Patients are able to take advantage of social networks to do more than just share pictures and tweets.
