Explain a way you think W. H. Auden\’s \”The Unknown Citizen\” (1939) relates to Stephen Crane\’s \”The Open Boat\” (1897). Discuss evidence (i.e., quote or paraphrase specific lines) from both the poem and story to support the connection you make between the texts.

Narrator, point of view, symbol, irony, and theme are some literary terms worth seeing the definitions in the glossaries that are in \”Course Documents.\” For Auden\’s poem, for example, who do you imagine is speaking? Do you trust the speaker\’s point of view?

On page 4 of Crane\’s story, there is a brief epigraph about the sinking of the steamer Commodore. Crane was a journalist on the steamship when it sank, and the story was at least inspired by the experience.

Complete sentences should be used in all written descriptions and explanations.Your presentation should be detailed and organized, but it can be presented an illustrated story.

In general, the research paper should include a pre reflection and post reflection. try your best not deviate from the subject since i\’m a chemical engineering student. make sure you include all the drawings such as chemical structure, process flow diagram, basic view of the process flow diagram.

You are the chief financial officer at SD International (SDI). SDI is a small but growing computer hardware retailer. The company plans to purchase new buildings this year. However, SDI has an existing commercial loan with National Commercial Bank (NCB). One of the conditions of the existing loan was for SDI to maintain interest coverage ratio (operating income/interest expense) of two or higher.

Below is the projected data for next year.

Operating income
$7,500,000

Interest expense on existing loan

3,500,000

New buildings’ cost

25,000,000

If SDI borrows the $25 million needed to finance the new buildings, the increased interest expense will cause SDI to be in violation of the interest coverage constraint.

The controller suggested an accounting solution to this dilemma: lease the new buildings, carefully constructing the lease agreements so that the leases will be accounted for as operating leases. The leasing arrangements will be economically similar to purchase of the buildings with borrowed money, but the annual payments will be reported as rent expense instead of interest expense. Accordingly, the interest coverage loan covenant will not be violated. You were involved in the negotiation of NCB‘s loan. Therefore, you know that the intent of the loan covenant was to prevent SDI from incurring large fixed obligations that might endanger the repayment of the NCB loan. Operating lease payments are fixed obligations, just like interest payments, and you are uneasy about using this accounting trick to get around the loan covenant. However, there does not seem to be any other solution. Write about what you would do.

Explain the theoretical basis for requiring lessees to capitalize certain long-term leases.
Explain how SDI should account for the lease.
Your well-written paper must be 2-3 pages, in addition to title and reference pages. The paper should be formatted according to APA Requirements. Any supporting calculations should be inserted in a table in your Word document. Do not submit two separate documents, as only one document can be accepted.

Please choose one of the following actors, and one of their films listed. Use only actors and films listed. After viewing the film, share your reaction to the physical and vocal choices the actor made in the film, their level of commitment to creating a character, and how successfully believable was their performance. Did you believe their performance? If so cite examples to help support your thoughts. The main objective of this response paper is to see the actor in the film through your eyes. This response is your reaction and not outside research is needed, however if you do include any research or outside quotes, you must cite properly. The minimum word length is 600 but its fine to expand if you’d like.

Moore Manufacturing expects the variable manufacturing cost per unit to increase once the new equipment in in place.

What is the most that the unit variable manufacturing cost can increase and still allow the company to earn the minimum rate of return on this investment?(Hint: use the Goal Seek option in Excel to calculate this. There is an example in your text at the end of the Capital Budgeting chapter.)

Discuss with your classmates:

Your calculation of the highest variable manufacturing cost that still allows the company to earn the minimum rate of return on the investment.

How you used the Goal Seek option in Excel to calculate the maximum variable manufacturing cost.

What are some other ways the Goal Seek option could be useful in making capital budgeting or other management decisions?

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Schantz (2014) “A Young Scholar\’s Guide to Building a Professional Network” article, review the Divisions listed on the APA website paying special attention to the divisions that may interest you, and review the O*Net Online website .

In your initial post, identify one division related to your career interest that you would consider joining and one specific job related to that division. Conduct a search on your chosen job using O*Net Online. Briefly elaborate on the information provided on the job you searched, and be sure to include educational requirements, duties, future outlook, and salaries related to the position. Use the Internet to search for and compile information about the leading employer prospects for this position in your geographical area. Compare and contrast the compiled information with that from O* Net. Include expected duties, number of job offerings found, educational requirements, job experience, and salary levels where applicable. Analyze psychology as a profession and assess the role the APA could play in aiding you in the development of a professional network. Briefly detail an initial plan for building your professional network as well as obtaining your selected job.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates\’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse.

Assess your peer’s selected division and job interest, and review the information on the APA website and O*Net Online if the selected division and job interest are different than your own. Examine your classmate’s professional networking plan and reconcile any discrepancies between his or her plan and your own. Suggest improvements or alternatives that might be included as well as any other job opportunities that might be of interest to your colleague. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. MST on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
