Include a slide with APA-formatted referencesFollow below suggestions for success in this assignment:Submit a presentation that shares your recommended incident response plan for a cyber-attack that occurred at a healthcare organization. The audience of the presentation is the healthcare organization’s executive board. The goal of the incident response plan is to mitigate or reduce the impact of the cyber-attack to the organization.In your PowerPoint, ensure you address the assignment requirements and rubric. This will be accomplished with a mix of content on the slides and in the speaker Notes sections of PowerPoint. Remember: the slides are what the audience will see and read; the Notes section shows what you’d be saying while they look at the slides. Slides and notes should go together, but not be strictly repetitive (i.e. you would not want to read slides to your audience).Rubric requirement 7 states that the presentation must “creatively incorporate appropriate images and charts to support the plan.” So, as you’re putting together your presentation and addressing all of the other content requirements, be sure there are appropriate and effective images, charts, SmartArt, or figures that illustrate the content requirements and help show the content that you are explaining.Start the presentation with a title slide that includes words of introduction in the Notes section. Then, the presentation should address the following sections in the body of the presentation:Goal and ScopeThe rubric requires that the presentation “clearly defines the goal and scope of the incident response plan.” To do this, ensure you have a stated goal for the incident response plan, and then identify and describe the scope of that plan. This will set a sort of overview of the plan for the rest of the presentation.Impact and SeverityThe rubric requires that the presentation “fully analyzes the impact and severity of the cyber-attack with a business impact analysis (BIA).” To do this, include:Provide a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)Describe the impact of the cyber-attack on the organizationExplain how sever the cyber-attack was for the organizationCommunication RequirementsThe rubric requires that the presentation “accurately identifies the communication requirements including criteria for escalation and organization reporting and regulatory requirements.” To do this, ensure that you:Identify who the organization must communicate withExplain how the organization must communicate with themShow and explain the criteria for how the information about the cyber-attack must be escalated within the organization and outside the organizationIdentify and explain what the organization’s requirements are for reporting to authoritiesIdentify and explain what the organization’s requirements are for complying with regulatory requirementsResponse ProcessThe rubric requires that the presentation “thoroughly explains the process for responding to this incident.” This means you need to illustrate and explain the process steps that the organization needs to follow to respond to the cyber-attack. Show the process and explain all the steps of the process.Relationship with Other Organization ProcessesThe rubric requires that the presentation “thoroughly describes the relationship with other organization processes.” To accomplish this, you need to:Identify other organizational processes that are related to and/or intersect with the cyber-attack response processDescribe how those other processes intersect or have a relationship with the cyber-attack processRecommendationsThe rubric requires that the presentation “provides insightful recommendations for prioritization, resource requirements, and opportunities created by the incident.” To accomplish this, you must:List and explain your recommendations about what the organization must prioritize in their response to the cyber-attackList and explain your recommendations for what resources will be required for the organization to respond to the cyber-attackList and explain your recommendations for what opportunities the cyber-attack creates for the organizationConclusionHave a slide that sums up the key points and asks the audience for questions.ReferencesHave a slide that lists the reference entries for any sources that you quoted, paraphrased, and cited in the presentation.

write a one-page summary that includes the history of landmark cases that grant due process rights and procedures to juveniles and your understanding of the following Supreme Court decisions, especially as they pertain to the death penalty and requirements for life imprisonment without parole.

The juvenile justice system oversees adjudications for juvenile offenders in juvenile courts. A juvenile offender is a youth under the age of 18 or the age of majority, depending on state statute. A juvenile, or delinquent, is said to commit delinquent acts rather than crimes. This language is consistent with the primary goal of the juvenile system, which is rehabilitation, treatment, and successful reintegration into the community.For the last 40 years, the United States Supreme Court has rendered several important cases affecting the constitutional rights, treatment, and adjudication of delinquents in the juvenile justice system.InstructionsPer the chapter reading, write a one-page summary that includes the history of landmark cases that grant due process rights and procedures to juveniles and your understanding of the following Supreme Court decisions, especially as they pertain to the death penalty and requirements for life imprisonment without parole.

Is there an alternative other than extending credit to Curtis for 30 days?

Now without further ado, the instructions to the assignments are below:InstructionsCookie Creations (Chapters 9 and 10)This assignment will focus on the Cookie Creations case study from Chapter 9 (page 9-37) and Chapter 10 (page 10-42) of your textbook. There are two parts to this assignment. Review the case situations for each part (i.e., in each chapter), and then complete the instructions.Part IOne of Natalie’s friends, Curtis Lesperance, runs a coffee shop where he sells specialty coffees and prepares and sells muffins and cookies. He is eager to buy one of Natalie’s fine European mixers, which would enable him to make larger batches of muffins and cookies. However, Curtis cannot afford to pay for the mixer for at least 30 days. He asks Natalie if she would be willing to sell him the mixer on credit.Natalie comes to you for advice. She asks you to address the questions below.Curtis has given me a set of his most recent financial statements. What calculations should I do with the data from these statements, and what questions should I ask him after I have analyzed the statements? How will this information help me decide if I should extend credit to Curtis?Is there an alternative other than extending credit to Curtis for 30 days?I am thinking seriously about being able to have my customers use credit cards. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of letting my customers pay by credit card?The following transactions occurred in June through August 2020.June 1: After much thought, Natalie sells a mixer to Curtis on credit, terms n/30, for $1,150 (cost of mixer $620).June 30: Curtis calls Natalie. He is unable to pay the amount outstanding for another month, so he signs a 1-month, 8.35% note receivable.July 31: Curtis calls Natalie. He indicates that he is unable to pay today but hopes to have a check for her at the end of the week. Natalie prepares the journal entry to record the dishonor of the note. She assumes she will be paid within a week.Aug. 7: Natalie receives a check from Curtis in payment of his balance owed.Instructions:Answer Natalie’s questions in a Word document.Prepare journal entries for the transactions that occurred in June, July, and August in an Excel spreadsheet. Round to the nearest dollar. Note that the company uses a perpetual inventory system. Use the Part I Excel Template (which will be attached below) to record your transactions.To reiterate, you will write your responses to Natalie’s questions (1–3) in a Word document, and you will complete the journal transactions in an Excel spreadsheet. Your responses to Part I (Natalie’s questions) should be a minimum of one page in length, and you will add your responses for Part II to this document before submitting.Part IINatalie is also thinking of buying a van that will be used only for business. The cost of the van is estimated at $36,500. Natalie would spend an additional $2,500 to have the van painted. In addition, she wants the back seat of the van removed so that she will have a lot of room to transport her mixer inventory as well as her baking supplies. The cost of taking out the back seat and installing shelving units is estimated at $1,500. She expects the van to last 5 years, and she expects to drive it for 200,000 miles. The annual cost of vehicle insurance will be $2,400. Natalie estimates that at the end of the 5-year useful life, the van will sell for $7,500. Assume that she will buy the van on August 15, 2020, and it will be ready for use on September 1, 2020.Natalie is concerned about the impact of the van’s cost on her income statement and balance sheet. She has come to you for advice on calculating the van’s depreciation.Instructions:Determine the cost of the van.Prepare three depreciation tables for 2020, 2021, and 2022: one for straight-line depreciation (similar to the one in Illustration 10-9), one for double-declining balance depreciation (Illustration 10-13), and one for units-of-activity depreciation (Illustration 10-11). Use the Part II Excel Template (which be attached below) to determine depreciation. For units-of-activity, Natalie estimates that she will drive the van as follows: 15,000 miles in 2020; 45,000 miles in 2021; and 50,000 miles in 2022. Recall that Cookie Creations has a December 31 year-end.What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s balance sheet at December 31, 2020? What impact will the three methods have on Natalie’s income statement in 2020?What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s income statement over the van’s total 5-year useful life?What method of depreciation would you recommend Natalie use, and why?Use the same Word document that you used to record your Part I responses (one page in length), and add your responses for the Part II questions (1–5), which should be one page in length.In summary, you will submit one Word document containing your responses for Parts I and II (two-page minimum) and two Excel spreadsheets containing Natalie’s journal transactions from Part I and the depreciation tables from Part II. You will upload a total of three files to Blackboard (one Word document and two Excel spreadsheets).There are no resources required for this assignment; however, your Word document should be formatted using APA Style.There are several attachments below first four are screen shot from the text book and basic examples of how to calculation Methods (from Chapter 9 & 10). The next attachment is the Excel Template for part one of the assignment that must complete. Then Study Guide will be the next attachment. Following the study will be the second template for part 2 of the assignment. And remember the response for both part 1 & 2 of the assignment goes in one Word document (Two pages minimum in total for both responses – APA style). Complete both complete both templates in there own separate documents. NO PLAGIARISM NO PLAGIARISM!!!!!!
