Story book: COLGATE Toothpaste, marketing homework help Business Finance Assignment Help

A hospital marketing director at a very large hospital in an urban setting has several research projects to undertake this quarter. The hospital is continuing to expand its offerings in the metropolitan area and ensure a strong relationship with the top physicians in the community.

The 3 current projects that he is currently researching include the following:

– the hospital urology department wants to establish a sexual dysfunction clinic. The department head wants to get an estimate of the number of men ages 35 to 60 in the community suffering with some form of sexual dysfunction.

– A primary care medical group is trying to determine whether patients are being greeted and serviced appropriately by the billing and admitting departments.

– An MCO is trying to determine what concerns physicians have in agreeing to become some part of its panel of physicians who will treat its subscribers.

He has asked you to assist by developing a report analyzing how each of these 3 projects would help the hospital improve its relationship with the public.

Given that the projects would be presented to the hospital’s Board of Trustees, the marketing director indicated that your report needs to include a critique of current literature (scholarly references) to support a position on each.

The body of the resultant report should be 5-7 pages and include at least 5 relevant peer-reviewed academic or professional references published within the past 5 years.

Think of a problem in your company, neighborhood, schools, or community, to which you would like to offer a solution. Develop a presentation in PowerPoint, that you might use to present your argument to the governing board of your chosen organization. Use what you know about persuasion, effective communication and message organization to sell your idea. In your PowerPoint, you will:

• Create 8-10 slides that offer a presentation introduction, body and conclusion.
• Focus your message on audience needs and motivations. Use reasoning, appeals to emotion and audience interests.
• Cite at least three outside sources.
• Include a coversheet slide, slide titles, bullets, charts (pie, bar, or line), clip art and creativity in terms of animation effects and word choice.
• Use the NOTES feature to add the general text of what you will say in your presentation. Each slide will have two-three substantive paragraphs in its NOTES section. In most settings, you would do fine with using NOTES simply to place your keyword outline. However, since you will not be delivering this orally, more content is needed for your instructor to understand what it is that you intended to communicate.
• Concentrate on formatting and the overall flow of your presentation. Be mindful of the rules of good visual design.

Submit your PowerPoint along with a paragraph providing some background, your goal, and a brief description of your audience.

Continuous Problem – City of Monroe

Essentials of Accounting for
Governmental

and Not-for-Profit
Organizations: 

Twelfth Edition

Chapters
2 through 8 describe accounting and financial reporting by state and local
governments. A continuous problem is presented to provide an overview of the
reporting process, including preparation of fund basis and government-wide
statements.  The problem assumes the
government is using fund accounting for its internal record-keeping and then at
year-end makes necessary adjustments to prepare the government-wide statements.
The problem that follows is presented in the same order as the textbook
(beginning with Chapters 3, and 4).

Each
chapter requires the preparation of journal entries to record the events and
transactions of governmental, proprietary, or fiduciary funds.  For the General Fund, use control accounts
for the budgetary accounts, revenues, expenditures and encumbrances.  For all other funds, use separate accounts
for each type of revenue and expenditure/expense.  At appropriate stages, preparation of the
fund and government-wide statements are required. The following funds are included
in this series of problems:

Governmental
Funds

Ø 
General

Ø 
Special revenue—Street and Highway Fund

Ø 
Capital projects—City Hall Annex Construction
Fund

Ø 
Debt service—City Jail Annex Debt Service Fund

Ø 
Debt service—City Hall Debt Service Fund

Proprietary
Funds

Ø 
Internal service—Stores and Services Fund

Ø 
Enterprise—Water
and Sewer Fund

Fiduciary
Funds

Ø 
Private-purpose—Student Scholarship Fund

Ø  Pension
trust—Fire and Police Retirement Fund

Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances from Section 5–C; (3) the
proprietary funds Statement of Net Assets and  Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes
in Fund Net Assets from Section 6–C.

Required:Part of this is
already completed if you use the problem templates posted in Bb

1. Start a worksheet for adjustments, using the
   trial balance format illustrated in the text (i.e. list accounts with
   debit balances first, then accounts with credit balances).  Enter the balances from the governmental
   funds financial statements prepared for Section 5-C.  When doing this, follow the following
   guidelines:

§  Net Assets:  Use a single account for net assets
(which will include the beginning balance of all fund balance accounts).

§  Intergovernmental Revenues:  When setting up
the worksheet, set up separate lines for the intergovernmental revenues as
follows:

State Grant for Highway and Street Maintenance	$ 1,072,000
Operational Grant—General Government	332,000
Capital Grant—Public Safety	1,320,000
total	$2,724,000

§  Capital Assets:  It is not necessary to set up
separate lines for different classes of capital (fixed) assets or accumulated
depreciation (simply use one row for Capital Assets and another for Accumulated
Depreciation).

§  Confirm that the total debits
and credits equal.

2.
Prepare worksheet entries and post to the worksheet for the following items.
Identify each adjustment by the letter used in the problem:

a. 
Record the January 1, 2015 balances of general fixed assets and related
accumulated depreciation accounts. The City of Monroe had the following balances (excluding
Internal Service Funds):

	Cost	Accumulated Depreciation
Totals	$ 65,900,000	29,800,000

b.
 Eliminate the capital
expenditures shown in the governmental funds Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances.

c.   Depreciation
expense (governmental activities) for the year totaled $ 5,750,000.

d.
 Eliminate the other financing sources from the
sale of bonds by recording a liability for bonds payable and the related
premium.

e.
 As of January 1, 2015, the City of Monroe had $12,000,000
in general obligation bonds outstanding.

f.
 Eliminate the expenditures for bond principal.

g.
 Accrue interest in the amount of $328,000. (Two bond
issues were outstanding; interest payments for both were last made on July 1, 2015.
The computation is as follows: ($11,200,000 × .03 × 6/12) + ($4,000,000 ×. 08 × 6/12) = $328,000).

h.
 Adjust for the interest accrued in the prior year
government-wide statements, but recorded as an expenditure in the 2015 fund
basis statements, ($12,000,000 × .03 × 6/12) = $180,000.

i.
 Amortize bond premium in the amount of $ 10,000.

j.
 Make adjustments for additional revenue accrual.
The only adjustment is for property taxes to eliminate the current year
deferral of property taxes.

k.
 Adjust for the $21,000 of property taxes that was
deferred in 2014 and recognized as revenue in the 2015 fund-basis statements.

l.
 Assume the City adopted a policy in 2015 of
allowing employees to accumulate compensated absences.  Make an adjustment accruing the expense of $
39,500 Charge compensated absences
expense.

m.
 Bring in the balances of the
internal service fund balance sheet accounts. Again, use a single account for
all capital assets and a second account for all accumulated depreciation
balances (use a separate column of the worksheet to enter Internal Service Fund
entries).   

n.
 No revenues from internal service funds were with
external parties. Assume $3,200 of the $11,200 “Due from Other Funds” in the
internal service accounts represents a receivable from the General Fund and the
remaining $8,000 is due from the enterprise fund. Eliminate the $3,200
interfund receivables.

o.
 Reduce governmental fund expenses by the net
operating profit of internal service funds. As the amount is small, reduce
general government expenses for the entire amount.

p.
 Eliminate transfers that are between departments
reported within governmental activities.

3. Prepare, in good form, a Statement of Activities
for the City of Monroe
for the Year Ended December 31, 2015. For purposes of this statement, assume:

§ 
$ 332,000 in the General Fund is a state grant specifically
to support general government programs.

§ 
$ 1,072,000 in the Street and Highway Fund is an
operating grant specifically for highway and street maintenance expenses.

§ 
$ 1,320,000 in the City Jail Construction Fund
is a capital grant that applies to public safety.

  Use the
balances computed from the worksheet completed in part 2 for the governmental
activities portion of the statement.  Use
the solution to P6–C (Enterprise
fund) to prepare the business activities portion (net any short-term interfund
payables/receivables).

4. Prepare, in good form, a Statement of Net Assets
for the City of Monroe
as of December 31, 2015. Group all capital assets, net of depreciation. Include
a breakdown in the Net Assets section for (a) capital assets, net of
related debt, (b) restricted, and (c) unrestricted. For purposes
of classifying net assets for the governmental activities, assume:

§ 
For the governmental activities net assets invested in capital assets, net
of related debt, the related debt includes the bonds payable, the premium on
bonds payable, and the advance from the water utility fund.

§ 
The special revenue fund resources are
restricted by the granting agency for street and highway maintenance.  These ($ 247,000) are the only restricted
resources in the governmental activities. 

5.
Prepare the reconciliation necessary to convert from the fund balance reported
in the governmental funds Balance Sheet to the net assets in the
government-wide Statement of Net Assets.  EXTRA CREDIT 10 POINTS  for both reconciliation

6. Prepare the reconciliation necessary to convert
from the change in fund balances in the governmental funds Statement of
