Given what you now know about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, identify and explain 4 ways the American education system should be preparing people in order to contribute to the American society in the coming years?  It is important to provide supporting examples.

Describe why therapy for the parent is important in this scenario including at least two supporting rationales.

Directions:

Scenario

Ryan is a 12 year old diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). As a small child, Ryan was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. He had just started preschool and was unable to remain in one place for more than a minute or two. His parents had already had a very difficult time in disciplining him, because he would become very upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen to adults and comply with the rules.

By the age of 12, he has begun to bully and annoy others. His parents have decided that the approaches they have used in the past are not working, and they are more afraid his behavior will only get worse.

Initial Post

What was your independent variable?

What was your independent variable? What question did it ask of a respondent? If you created your own dataset, what was the source of this data and did you cite it? How was your variable measured (continuous, categorical, binary, etc.) and did you transform or recode in any way? Did you remove any observations from your dataset? 

Why will bonuses be negatively affected? What is the effect on pretax earnings?

Discussion Question

Danville Bottlers is a wholesale beverage company. Danville uses the FIFO inventory method to determine the cost of its ending inventory. Ending inventory quantities are determined by a physical count. For the fiscal year-end June 30, 2024, ending inventory was originally determined to be $3,265,000. However, on July 17, 2024, John Howard, the company’s controller, discovered an error in the ending inventory count. He determined that the correct ending inventory amount should be $2,600,000.

Danville is a privately owned corporation with significant financing provided by a local bank. The bank requires annual audited financial statements as a condition of the loan. By July 17, the auditors had completed their review of the financial statements, which are scheduled to be issued on July 25. They did not discover the inventory error.

John’s first reaction was to communicate his finding to the auditors and to revise the financial statements before they are issued. However, he knows that his and his fellow workers’ profit-sharing plans are based on annual pretax earnings and that if he revises the statements, everyone’s profit-sharing bonus will be significantly reduced.

Based on the information above and answer the following questions:

· Why will bonuses be negatively affected? What is the effect on pretax earnings?

· If the error is not corrected in the current year and is discovered by the auditors during the following year’s audit, how will the error be reported in the company’s financial statements?

· Discuss the ethical dilemma Howard faces.

What factors have led to the current overfunded status of large U.S. companies’ pension plans?

 Discussion Question

Instead of underfunded pension plan, we have seen “companies’ U.S. pension plans are more overfunded than they have been in years amid strong equity markets.”  This article from WSJ sheds light on overfunded pension plan, which seems to be against the common norm.  Read  Chap 17 Companies’ U.S. Pension Plans Are More Overfunded Than They Have Been in Years – WSJ.pdf  and answer the following questions:

· How are defined benefit pension plan obligations measured?  How is a pension plan’s funded status measured?  ( Hint: You can refer to the textbook for this.)

· How are changes in bond interest rates affecting the measurement of pension plan obligations?

· What factors have led to the current overfunded status of large U.S. companies’ pension plans?

· Why don’t companies remove assets from overfunded pension plans to redirect use to other corporate purposes?

2. Chapter 18 Discussion Question

Nike is the world’s leading designer, marketer, and distributor of authentic athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, and accessories. The following is a press release from the company:

When the share repurchase program was announced the company also declared a stock split distributed in the form of a 100% stock dividend. At that time Nike’s 1,200 million shares were trading at $130 per share. Nike’s shares have a stated value of $0.001 per share.

Based on the information above and answer the following questions:

· Prepare the journal entry that Nike recorded to account for the stock split?

· Assume Nike repurchased 50 million shares after the stock split at an average price of $59 per share. The original issue price of the shares, after adjusting for the six stock splits since the shares were issued, was $0.15 per share. What entry would Nike have recorded to account for the repurchase? Nike views the repurchase of stock as a formal retirement of shares.

· Suppose Nike views the repurchase of stock as an acquisition of treasury stock. What entry would Nike have recorded to account for the repurchase?

· Prepare the entries for the declaration and for the payment of the cash dividend announced in the press release.

3. Chapter 19 Discussion Question

Del Conte Construction Company has experienced generally steady growth since its inception in 1976. Management is proud of its record of having maintained or increased its earnings per share in each year of its existence.

The economic downturn has led to disturbing dips in revenues the past two years. Despite concerted cost-cutting efforts, profits have declined in each of the two previous years. Net income in 2022, 2023, and 2024 was as follows:

A major shareholder has hired you to provide advice on whether to continue her present investment position or to curtail that position. Of particular concern is the declining profitability, despite the fact that earnings per share has continued a pattern of growth:

She specifically asks you to explain this apparent paradox. During the course of your investigation you discover the following events:

· For the decade ending December 31, 2021, Del Conte had 60 million common shares and 20 million shares of 8%, $10 par nonconvertible preferred stock outstanding. Cash dividends have been paid quarterly on both.

· On July 1, 2023, half the preferred shares were retired in the open market. The remaining shares were retired on December 30, 2023.

· $55 million of 8% nonconvertible bonds were issued at the beginning of 2024, and a portion of the proceeds were used to call and retire $50 million of 8% debentures (outstanding since 2019) that were convertible into 9 million common shares.

· In 2022, management announced a share repurchase plan by which up to 24 million common shares would be retired. 12 million shares were retired on March 1 of both 2023 and 2024.

· Del Conte’s income tax rate is 25% and has been for the last several years.

In preparation for your explanation of the apparent paradox to which your client refers, calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the three years.

If the patient completes the recommended interventions what are the expected outcomes for the patient?
