In completing your reading for the week you learned about the benefits and challenges faced in the budgeting process.  You also learning about the importance of focusing organizational efforts on customers.  Chapter 22 introduced you to the many types of budgets, their importance, and the many ways that an organization can go about messing up the budgeting process.   In Chapters 24 and 25 we learned about the benefits of focusing our efforts on the customer.
You and Emma have already spent a good deal of time focusing on and discussing the accounting department at CM Tech.  Now it’s time to broaden the focus of your efforts.  Emma asks you for your thoughts on the budgets at CM Tech and how the team can integrate the concept of customer focus into the budgeting process.  Emma asks you to do some research for her.
Your research paper for Emma should include the following key elements: 

  1. What are the key problems that CM Tech could run into throughout the budgeting process that could reduce the effectiveness of their budget?
  2. What should be done throughout the budgeting process to ensure the budget is tied to the organization’s strategies?  Why is this important?
  3. How can CM Tech include a solid customer focus throughout the budgeting process?  What benefits could be derived from ensuring the customer remains a key element of focus even during an internal process like budgeting?  Be sure to fully support your assertions in all three sections with reasoning, examples, and research.

Your report should outline the key concepts in each area listed above and provide examples as appropriate.  Be sure your report is a minimum of 4 pages, includes an introduction and conclusion paragraph, title page, and references page.  The title and references pages do not count toward the total page count.

The file
C11_03.xlsx shows the overhead data that
Wagner has collected for its shop for the past
52weeks. The average weekly overhead for the
last 52 weeks is $54,208, and the average weekly
number of labor hours worked is 716. Therefore,
the normalized rate for overhead that will be used
in the upcoming week is about $76(= 54208/716)
per direct labor hour.
Questions
1. Determine whether you can develop a more
accurate estimate of overhead costs.
2. Wagner is now preparing a bid for an important
order that may involve a considerable amount of
repeat business. The estimated requirements for
this project are 15 labor hours, 8 machine hours,
$150 direct labor cost, and $750 direct material
cost. Using the existing approach to cost estimation,
Wagner has estimated the cost for this job
as $2040(= 150 + 750 + (76 × 15)). Given the
existing data, what cost would you estimate for this job?

The purpose of this assignment is to better your research skills and your knowledge of modern food systems. You will select a food commodity and research the origin of the food and how it enters a world market and reaches your or someone else’s dinner plate. 
In this assignment you will learn to make better use of the searches you can conduct using Google and other searchers. You will gather the “best of” what you find and assemble these in a short report. The report will take the form of a bibliography. Your best findings will appear in alphabetical order of the author’s last name. You should have ten or more sources in your bibliography. We will conduct an advanced search in class. All your sources should be online PDF files! 
First you have to pick a food commodity. Here are some suggestions: pineapples, coffee, wheat, bananas, soy beans, corn, sorghum, rice, mangos, kiwi fruit, salmon, grass-fed beef, potatoes, tuna, olives, tea, chocolate, vanilla, sugarcane. It should be relatively easy to research, and have to do with agriculture and food markets.
Second you want to organize your preferences. For example you can conduct a search of government documents relating to Monsanto soybeans like this: Go to Advanced Search in Google. It’s a well-kept secret: http://www.google.com/advanced_search. This is the top of the Advanced Search page.

Question Description

Your term paper should explore a recognized DSM-V disorder. Some disorders that appear in childhood should be avoided as this course focus is on adulthood psychopathology.

See list. – Your paper should address the following:

A definitive clinical picture of the disorder you are researching. (Short description).

You should include the following:

Symptoms

Prevalence rates – one line

Cultural variables – Is this a Western bound disorder or is it found all over the world such as schizophrenia?

Age of onset. What is the average age when symptoms appear that lead to a diagnosis?

Gender features (ex. Bipolar is equally common among men and women; major depression is seen 2X more in women then in men etc.)

Etiology ( e.g. Is it due to biology e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar, or is it trauma based or a combination?)

Course (will it be a lifelong chronic course e.g. schizophrenia or relatively short episodes e.g. depression?)

Current treatment -What is the most effective treatment for your chosen disorder?

Prognosis of the disorder you are researching. What is the end result you expect to see with regard to the symptom picture? E.g. What would the symptom picture look like when the person is 70. E.g. Would the client still have to be on medication

– Must have within text citations. THIS IS A MUST

– Articles, the DSM-V, books, and online sources are fine BUT NO WIKAPEDIA.

 1. The Documentary Hypothesis holds that the Pentateuch has a number of underlying documents (alt., sources) that were ultimately gathered and sewn into the Pentateuch as we now have it. The method of separating those underlying documents is called source criticism. Please perform a source-critical analysis of Gen 1-3. In so doing, please identify the significant features that distinguish each underlying document. Note: There are many such features.
2. Why are covenants important in the Bible? What do they accomplish? Are they all the same, whether in structure or outlook? Do the different writers view them differently? What does the ancient Near Eastern background to the biblical covenant contribute to our understanding?
3. Dt 6:4 used to be translated
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD [YHWH] our God, the LORD [YHWH] is one.”
Currently, we translate
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD [YHWH] is our God, the LORD [YHWH] alone.”
In all likelihood, the second translation is grammatically preferable. What is the interpretive difference between “one” and “alone”? Is it significant? How, if at all, does this verse relate to the First Commandment? How does this verse relate to Gen 1:26, 3:22, and 11:7? How does this verse relate to the variant non-MT variant in Dt 32:8-9 (as reproduced in HarperCollins)? Why is any of this important?
Be sure to provide a careful, well-written essay which gives ample biblical examples (proof texts) to support the point(s) you wish to make.
