3.    Question :    If depreciation expense is a noncash charge, why do we consider it when determining cash flows?

Student Answer:          because depreciation expense reduces taxable income, so reduces the amount of taxes paid
because depreciation expense offsets part of the initial cash outlay for depreciable assets
because depreciation expense reduces net income

because depreciation expense is a method for allocating costs

Your first step is to work with Alan to convert the consequences table shown on p. 91 to a preferences table. 

Parkway           Lombard             Baranov               Montana             Pierpoint

Alan’s commute               45                           25                           20                           25                           30

(mins)

Client access (%)              50                           80                           70                           85                           75

Office Services                 A                             B                             C                             A                             C

(constructed scale)

Office size (sq. ft.)           800                         700                         500                         950                         700

Monthly cost                     1,850                     1,700                     1,500                     1,900                     1,750

(dollars)

1. Your first step is to work with Alan to convert the consequences table shown on p. 91 to a preferences table. Clearly, on commuting time, Baranov is his “best” (100 points), Parkway his worst (0 points). He rates the others as shown on line 1 in the table below. Once completed, the preference table looks like this:

Parkway Lombard Baranov Montana Pierpoint
Commute 0 80 100 80 50
Access 0 80 60 100 70
Services 100 60 0 100 0
Size 90 80 0 100 80
Cost 10 50 100 0 40

 

2. Is it still clear that Lombard dominates Pierpoint, and that Montana practically dominates Parkway? You could drop Pierpoint and Parkway now, but keep them in while you finish the exercise.

3. Using the method described earlier, you elicit the following swing weights from Alan:

Commute 1.0
Access 1.5
Services 1.2
Size 3.0
Cost 1.0

 

4. Using these weights, calculate an overall preference score for each location. What do these scores imply for Alan’s decision?

5. Alan wonders about the weights, especially the cost. He considers cost very important, but his swing weight for cost is relatively small. How do you explain this?

6. Alan notices that the two alternatives you saw were dominated (Pierpoint and Parkway) score poorly, but that Baranov, the worst-scoring option, was not dominated. How do you explain this?

7. The even swaps and swing weights methods took about the same amount of time and effort on this problem. Do you find one easier to explain to the client than the other? Which would you choose if Alan had 40 sites to evaluate, rather than four?

8. Write a short (one or two pages, single-spaced) report to Alan summarizing the two site selection procedures, what you recommend, and why. Include enough detail that Alan can defend his decision to his Board.

Consider how business processes as services can improve efficiency

Work #1:

Consider, in 500 words or more, how business processes as services can improve efficiency. This discussion is about business process as a service and security.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google.   Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0.

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format.

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.

Work #2:

(1) Define the time value of money.  Do you believe that the average person considers the time value of money when they make investment decisions?  Please explain.

(2) Distinguish between ordinary annuities and annuities due.  Also, distinguish between the future value of an annuity and the present value of an annuity.

Peter R Kongstvedt states, “The case manager is consistently challenged with managing fiscal constraints with patient expectations

Peter R Kongstvedt states, “The case manager is consistently challenged with managing fiscal constraints with patient expectations in light of orders and expectations articulated by the care team. This requires a highly skilled individual, certainly not a job for the faint of heart.” The case manager can also play a role in identifying disease prevention strategies.

In 2 pages, develop a “job description” or job outline for a case manager. Consider disease prevention as part of the responsibilities of the role. Also consider education and skills. Feel free to set up your information in a table. Give your work a professional look, and be sure to include each of the following headings or sections:

  • Facility name
  • Department
  • Position title
  • Classification
  • Position grade or level
  • Shift and/or days of the week
  • Reporting relationships
  • Summary statement
  • Responsibilities
  • Required competencies or position requirements
  • Physical requirements or working conditions
  • Date written
  • Date revised

For information on case managers, see your reading. You may also want to conduct research in the following websites:

Do not simply reproduce a position description that already exists! This is plagiarism. Be creative. You will be evaluated on the information contained in the position description, as well as how professional your document looks.
Submit your completed assignment to the drop box below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.
