Consider the hypothetical scenario presented to you here.

For this scenario pretend as though you hold a supervisory position within the HR department of said company. Remember the HR department is there to protect both the business and the employees simultaneously.

In a 2-4 page paper explain the following ideas:

• How would you react to this situation given your position in the company?
• How would you protect the employee?
• How would you protect the company?
• What are the final determinations set forth by your HR department given the situation?

Your reactions to this scenario should be based primarily off of the flow of the graphic organizer presented in the lecture material. The organizer acts as a flow chart to guide you on your path to an ethical outcome. Therefore, please keep the organizer in mind as you respond to the previous four questions.

The week 3 paper is attached below.

In the Week Three Assignment, you engaged in a case analysis of a current business problem using some of the components of an argumentative essay. In this written assignment, you will write a complete argumentative essay as described in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Foster, Hardy, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). This essay will include a revised and polished version of your Week Three Assignment, an objection to your thesis, a rebuttal, and concluding remarks. In order to benefit the most, you should start working on your Final Project from the time you receive your Week Three Assignment back with comments from your professor.

Your assignment should include the following:
A revision of your Week Three Case Analysis Assignment. Your revision should represent a substantial edit of your work that fully incorporates feedback from your professor and goes well beyond correcting any grammatical or APA errors.

The strongest possible objection to your thesis. After the final paragraph of your Week Three Case Analysis Assignment, start a new paragraph that introduces the strongest possible objection to your thesis. The considerations for this are detailed in Section 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). Make sure to employ the appropriate language to introduce the objection, such as “some may object to my thesis as follows” or “according to [so and so] the thesis presented here fails to account for X” [whatever he or she finds problematic]. You can find other language to do this, of course, but the key point here is to make sure that you indicate that someone else is speaking when presenting this objection.

It is also important to remember that you do research to discover good objections and not merely objections that are weak and thus easily rebutted. Look for peer-reviewed journal articles in the Ashford University Library, full-text articles in Google Scholar, or articles in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Present the opposing position fairly and in detail. This may take more than one paragraph.

A rebuttal. This is a refutation of the objection that you have just presented. Start this in a new paragraph following the objection paragraph(s). Once again, follow the indications of Section 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). You may point out an error in the objection. Or you may show that, while it is an important objection, it does not apply squarely to your argument, or does not account for facts that make it irrelevant. Above all, make sure to maintain philosophical decorum in your rebuttal. Toward this end, you should apply the principles of charity and of accuracy, first introduced in the Week One course material. See “Confronting Disagreement” in Section 9.4 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015).

Closing remarks. End your argumentative essay with a paragraph of closing remarks. Provide some reflections of what you have attempted to achieve by means of your essay. You could, for example, explain how your essay sheds light on the broader controversy that it addresses. Or you could point out how your essay addresses a frequently ignored point or the unpopular side in the controversy. You could also reflect on the related matters in the broader controversy that would be useful to examine by others. Do not merely summarize what you have done in the body of your essay, and do not add new information here that would support or contradict your essay since the body of your essay should have addressed all the relevant points. See “Closing Your Essay” in Section 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo (2015).

Requirements for your Assignment:

• Your assignment should be between 1500 to 1700 words in length, excluding the cover and references pages.
• Your examination should be both thorough and succinct. This is a combination that demands time and thought, so give yourself sufficient time to draft and revise.
• Your assignment should include citations, as well as a list of references. Both must be in APA form.
• Your references should include at least four peer-reviewed articles in addition to those that you will be carrying over from our Week Three Case Analysis Assignment. These references should be drawn from the Ashford University Library, Google Scholar, or the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Respond to each of the following:

Category: Cash Flows Horizontal Trend Analysis

1. Provide a table with the following selected information for the most recent five years comprised of the following Statement of Cash Flows elements:

  a. Net Income

  b. Net Cash provided/used by Operating Activities

  c. Net Cash provided/used by Investing Activities

  d. Net Cash provided/used by Financing Activities

2. Prepare a horizontal trend analysis for the most recent five years comprised of the following Statement of Cash Flows elements:

  a. Net Income

  b. Net Cash provided/used by Operating Activities

  c. Net Cash provided/used by Investing Activities

  d. Net Cash provided/used by Financing Activities

Note: you must set the fifth year least recent as the base year and index to the most recent year. Suggestion, see my example on what a horizontal trend analysis is to look like.

Note: Be careful of outflow values. In a horizontal trend analysis we are measuring an indexed value increase/decrease from the base year. Therefore, if the base year value is negative $150 and the next most recent year the negative value is only $50 we have in fact reduced our outflow of cash. We would represent this with both values in brackets stating at the base year with a (100.0) value. The next most recent year would have an index value of ($50)/($150) x 100 = (33.3) which reflect that we still have an outflow of cash but only at negative 33.3% of the original base year value. The trouble comes when we shift on any one line from negative to positive values. For, this example, in the current year we have a $25 cash inflow vice outflow. We have gone from ($150) to $25. This means we push an overall inflow of $175 from the beginning year negative outflow. Therefore, did we have a 16.7% or a 116.7% increase in the inflow of funds between the least and most current year figures set to the base year value? We had a 116.7% jump in the inflow of funding for the most current year set to base year valuation.

Note: I have seen some textual material that discusses horizontal trend analysis vs. horizontal percentage analysis. None have demonstrated the Statement of Cash Flows. This is therefore, new ground for us and I believe it worth of our study and exploration. On that note, follow the instructions provided, be sure that you review my example with the Boston Beer Company and I assure you that I will be understanding as we make our exploration.

3. Analysis: Review the values and trend information that had been presented in parts 1 & 2. Identify one or two trend(s) to discuss.

  > Present your observation in a short bullet style note.

  > Provide reason(s) for the trend you observed.

  > Be sure that there is a cause and effect in your observed reasons. The reason drives the trend that you observed.

  > Be sure that you present it in short, logical and brief (bullet style) notes and document (cite) any sources that you discover in the notes.

Note: Here is where you must step out on the ledge. What do you see, what happened, what caused it to happen? Then you must find/discover any supporting notes that back up what you found. You are on the hook for the analysis, not “Mad Money Bob Cramer.” All of your information must come from the SEC 10-K reports and not any other outside source.

Note: Students must “Start a New Thread” to provide their company’s information. The subject line of that new thread must contain, “Company Name – by Student Name.” Where it says company name that is the name of the company that the student is selecting. Where it says student name that is the student’s name who is posting the new thread.

Note: Round all calculations to one decimal place. Note: All information presented that was found in the financial reports must be documented.

·  Use APA style and in addition, page number(s) must be presented for each in text citation.

o  Except for directly quoted material, page numbers are not mandatory in APA style but I am making them mandatory for credit in this presentation.

·  Present source document as a bibliography complete with the exact url that will directly lead the reader to the exact SEC 10K annual report.

o  Additionally, you must provide a date accessed.

o  Again APA does not mandate this for fixed website, I am making it mandatory for credit.

Question 1) I recieve annuity of 500 dollars once every 3 years. Annuity stretches over 30 years. First payment occurs 3 years from now. Annual interest rate is 6%. What is PV of annuity?

Question 2) Find the present value from the two sources in this pension plan. First source of income gives direct sum of 200,000 when I retire later, compounded anually at interest rate of 10% per year.
