Be sure to answer questions in complete sentences and paragraphs. This is an exploration of theIncorporate at least one credible resource from this course into your responses for each scenario…Scenario #1: Bella is a preschool-age child who arrives at the child care program late every morning. By the time she arrives (after an hour bus ride), breakfast has already ended and children are actively playing throughout the environment. Bella consistently explains that she is hungry, but is told to wait until snack time which is in another hour. Additionally, she has been found to hoard food in her personal cubby after snack and lunch. Bella’s family often visits the community food pantry to feed their family of six. Their family lives downtown and in an apartment on the 10th floor of a high rise.Scenario #2: Bo is a toddler in a family child care setting. His family is a first-generation immigrant family from a country in eastern Asia. He wears multiple layers of clothing every day regardless of the weather and often sweats. He prefers to be carried, even though he can walk steadily. His grandmother has been staying with the family since he was born and is a primary caregiver. She will carry him or place him in a carrier even as he is able to walk steadily. Bo is also fed by his grandmother rather than being encouraged to use utensils or his hands for picking up food. Bo’s mother says that feeding him is customary and shows respect for his growth and nutrition. No food should be wasted when it is needed for his healthy development.Format: Document – Question and Answer format

Calculate the expected rate of return on investments X and Y using the most recent year’s data.

Douglas Keel, a financial analyst for Orange Industries, wishes to estimate the rate of return for two similar-risk investments, X and Y. Douglas’s research indicates that the immediate past returns will serve as reasonable estimates of future returns. A year earlier, investment X had a market value of $20,000; investment Y had a market value of $55,000. During the year, investment X generated cash flow of $1,500 and investment Y generated cash flow of $6,800. The current market values of investments X and Y are $21,000 and $55,000, respectively. a. Calculate the expected rate of return on investments X and Y using the most recent year’s data. b. Assuming that the two investments are equally risky, which one should Douglas recommend?

These coders claim that conflicting information is often present in the record, requiring them to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to obtain verification. Coding productivity has been affected. Explain how you would assess the problem, strategies that you may develop to resolve the problem, and a way to study the effectiveness of your strategies.  Give examples of tools you would use to present your findings in the meeting.

Examine alternatives to incarceration for juveniles.

Alternatives to Incarceration

Overview

A recent study illustrates that nearly two million juveniles are processed through juvenile courts across the United States each year. Depending on the nature of the crime, juveniles may face detention or incarceration if they are convicted. Given the fact that many courts are reluctant to incarcerate criminal offenders, judges often consider alternatives to incarceration. The driving force behind these alternatives is to save taxpayer money yet still demand offender accountability and impose sanctions for criminal behavior.

In this assignment, you will examine alternatives to incarceration for juveniles.

Preparation

Use the Internet or the Strayer University databases to research the use of sanctions other than incarceration or detention for juvenile offenders.

Instructions

Write a 2–3 page paper in which you:

• Examine the underlying historical and economic reasons behind the quest for alternatives to committing juveniles to detention centers.
• Describe three alternatives to incarceration that juvenile courts currently use. Provide examples of such alternatives in practice to support the response.

Discuss the significant societal and individual benefits of imposing sanctions or punishments that do not involve removing an offender from his or her family or community.

• Use at least three quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions
