...Business Writing Portfolio Outline Chapters 1. Cover page 2. Outline of Assignment 3. A Business Letter 4. A Business Memo 5. An E-mail Message 6. Reflection Dear Store managers: The company is writing this letter to inform every one of the new changes in the company that are effective immediately. As we all know the economy is changing and gas prices are on the rise and it is causing issues amongst our workers. In order to comply with these issues we have developed a plan to alleviate this situation. The company has decided to cut the hours of the full-time employees and managers. The store has placed them on a 10-hour, four-day work week. The store has placed the part-time workers on a minimal schedule. Their schedule will consist of one, two, or three day work week depending on the full-timer’s schedules. The stores hours of operations have also changed. We will no longer be open on Sundays. Monday through Saturday the store will open an hour later, and the store will close an hour earlier. The reasoning behind all of this is due to the downturn of the economy in addition to keeping business cost down. As a member of the team I know we must place the well-being of our workers first. Our workers are the backbone of the store, if they leave, then where would we be as a retail store. Our workers are who keep the business running. During these hard economic times, adjusting the schedules and changing hours of...

Any health epidemics causes carnival to avoid ports of the country infected which also can cause financial losses. 3. The weather causes a major threat which normally forces the company to cancel the trip...

...Online Business Expansion Plan for Clovis Transit A1. Online Business Viability Clovis Transit is a public transportation agency located in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. Clovis Transit provides two types of transportation – fixed route and paratransit. The fixed route service is called Stageline and runs regular routes throughout the city of Clovis proper and into some portions of the neighboring town, Fresno. The paratransit service is called RoundUp and provides service to disabled residents of the city. Clovis Transit is considered a mid-sized transit agency and provides approximately 300,000 trips per year. The city brands itself in the western motif with the goal of maintaining a small-town feel and personality while still serving a population of just short of 100,000 citizens. Passengers who use Clovis Transit fall into three main categories: low income, student, and disabled riders. These riders are considered “transit dependent” which means they have no other choice for transportation beyond the bus and therefore marketing has remained a low priority. The City of Clovis maintains a website that provides access to all its departments including Transit. The Transit department’s website currently contains basic information about the services offered and various forms and documents that can be downloaded by the user. Because the department serves two distinct customer groups, regular fixed-route transit riders and disabled citizens, there is an opportunity...

...various types of routing problerns,These tools are used to prepare input data, solve the routing problem, and provide tabular and graphical output of the resulting routes and vehicle schedules. The starting points for each route (such as the warehouse in the above example) are known as depots, and the points to be visited are known as stops. A vehicle route starts at a depot, visits one ormore stops, and may or may not return to the depot. The goal of the procedure is to obtain a set of routes that minimizes the total time or discance traveled by the entire fleet of vehicles. The travel times or distances are stored in the vehicle routing matrix.You can use a network to calculate the network driving time or distance, or you can use straight line distances to create your vehicle routing matrix. You must use a network-based vehicle routing matrix if you want to display the routes on a map as a route system layer.Time window- There are time restrictions on when deliveries can be made to some or all of the stores Each stop requires a certain amount of time to service. The service time can have a fixed component and a variable component that is demand dependent (time per unit). In most cases, each stop has a fixed service time that is independent of demand, variable service time that depends upon the demand at that stop. The amount of time it takes to service a stop is as follows: service time = (fixed time) * (number of units) *(time per unit). To Set Up Depots and Stops for Vehicle...

...is activated. After that initial fee, the taximeter will add RM2.40 for each kilometer the taxi drives. In this scenario, the total taxi fare depends upon the number of kilometer ridden in the taxi, and we can ask whether it is possible to model this type of scenario with a function. As you hop into a taxicab in Kuala Lumpur, the meter will immediately read RM3.30; this is the “drop” charge made when the taximeter is activated. After that initial fee, the taximeter will add RM2.40 for each kilometer the taxi drives. In this scenario, the total taxi fare depends upon the number of kilometer ridden in the taxi, and we can ask whether it is possible to model this type of scenario with a function. An equation whose graph is a straight line is called a linear function (y = mx + c). * Consider this Example 1: * Using descriptive variables, we choose k for kilometers and R for Cost in Ringgit Malaysia as a function of miles: R(k). * We know for certain that R(0) = 3.30, since the RM3.30 drop charge is assessed regardless of how many kilometers are driven. * Since RM2.40 is added for each kilometer driven, then: R(1) = 3.30 + 2.40 = 5.70. * If we then drove a second kilometer, another RM2.40 would be added to the cost: R(2) = 3.30 + 2.40 +2.40 = 8.10. * If we drove a third mile, another RM2.40 would be added to the cost: R(3) = 3.30 + 2.40 +2.40 + 2.40 = 10.50 * From this we might observe the pattern, and conclude that...

...1a. Answer: (1.0, 228,000), (2.0, 216,000) 1a. Key work steps 1b. Answer: $-12,000 1b. Key work steps Since M= y2-y1/x2-x1 then M= 216,000-228,000/2.0-1.0 M=-12,000/2.0-1.0 M=-12,000/1.0 M=-12,000 1c. Answer: Y= (-12,000)*x+240,000 1c. Key work steps Since Y=mx+b then and do figure m we use the formula m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) I know now what m is in my equation in this situation it’s -12,000 and to figure b is just the Y intercept which in this case is 240,000. So I get my linear equation Y= (-12,000)*x+240,000. 1d. Answer: $126.000 1d. Key work steps Now if this depreciation were to continue until 2019 then we use our formula to determine the value of the plane. Y=(-12,000)*x+240,000 now x is the number of years from the end of our graphing years which was half way through 2009. So in this case x will = 9.5 years now to plug this in. Y=(-12,000)*9.5+240,000 Y=114,000+240,000 Y= $126,000 2a. Answer: L=w-5 2a. Key work steps 2b. Answer: Width= 22.5 inches, Length is 17.5 inches 2b. Key work steps Since p=2L+2W and our equation L=W-5 then P=2(W-5)+2W P=2W-10+2W P=4W-10 We know that in this case P=80 inches so 80=4W-10 80+10=4W-10+10 90=4W 90/4=4W/4 22.5=W and since we know L= W-5 then L= (22.5)-5 L= 17.5 3a.

...before examining the actual context, it is also important to look at the form of the poem, which also plays a puissant role. First of all, and most noticeable, is the continual use of dashes, which adds a lingering essence, as if foreshadowing the death. The dashes also signify power and unanswered questions about death and, perhaps, whether or not an afterlife exists. Another aspect of the form is how it is broken up into stanzas expressing differing ideas in each one. By braking up such ideas, it is easier to analyze the varying aspects of death that Ms. Dickinson believes are imperative when expressing what she is feeling prior to her death. The first stanza starts off repeating the title, “I heard a Fly buzz—when I died—“ (line 1). These words, though odd, are explained through the rest of the stanza, as the insignificance of the sound of a fly’s buzz is magnified, thus becoming extreme, compared to “The Stillness in the room” (2). This “Stillness” is then related to the “Stillness in the air” (3). Though the “Stillness” causes the buzzing sound to take strength, “Stillness”, in this stanza, takes on a double meaning, which is representative of death as well. The second stanza differs from the first in that, as she lies in her bed, observers, who express their own emotions while witnessing her final moments, surround her. “The Eyes...
