...Abstract This paper will evaluate and demonstrate a manufacturing company options about launching a new product. This will be determined using the payback period that they plan to invest in this adventure. This will be performed by figuring out the company net present value and cash flow to determine if a project should be accepted within a three year payback period. The formula that was used to find the payback period was Payback Period = Investment (Total Cost of the Project) / Annual Cash Inflow. The formula used to calculate the net present value is as followed (1+r) ^t. Please click link to view excel spreadsheet for the assignment financial management unit 4 IP excell.xlsx. In order for a project to be accepted using the Payback rule the project according to Brooks, (2010) states that it is okay to accept a project if the payback period is less than maximum years the company is willing to accept. On that, same note if the payback period is longer than the three year that is required by the company then the project need to be rejected. For example, the payback period for this assignment is at 2.9 which mean that the project can be accepted because it is under the three years that the company requires. By the project being boarder line, I would like more clarity because if a person would round the payback period then the project would be denied.

There are three major figures that led to this development they are Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner. Behaviorism is developed with the order that only observations that satisfied the criteria of the scientific method were to be allowable as evidence. One of the hypotheses many behaviorists hold is that free will is an illusion. As the result of this behaviorism orders that all behavior is determined by a combination of genetic factors and the environment is either through classical or operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is a technique used in behavioral training in which a naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a response.

Introduction While we have the more freedom and rights than most countries our freedoms have definitely been effective in recent years due to the September 1, 2001; with the on terror and the efforts to make our country safer, Americans have been more willing to give up many more freedoms in exchange for this safety. My Topic is: The “War on Terror” has become a war on American Freedoms, and my Thesis is: The “War on Terror” has reduced more of our freedoms in America and has done little to catch Terrorist: we should eliminate the TSA and reevaluate all the other amendments that are being infringed upon and restore our freedom. Main Point 1: The idea behind the “War on Terror” was sparked by the events of September 11, 1999 when the World Trade Center was attack by terrorist, the idea behind it was a good one but failed in many ways. The American people are really the people that are punished the most by the “War on Terror”, we can no longer travel freely without being subjected to uncomfortable pat downs or invasive scanners by the TSA. Main Point 2: Why have flight restrictions with the TSA when our boarders are wide open? This makes no since, Americans are being restricted by flight, stopped at road blocks and checked for driving...

...Margaret Burnett IP English Human Trafficking Margaret Burnett AIU-Online Pro. Slotemaker Thesis: While Human trafficking is the second and fastest growing criminal industry in the world, we must find ways to stop this brutal crime. This article, “Forced Sex and labor Trafficking,” by Rebecca Clarren, talks about the investigations into human trafficking. The feminist groups plays a large part in helping with human trafficking. In 2000, Congress passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), which gives a special “T-vista”, that lets victims of sex and labor trafficking to remain temporarily in the U.S., and agree to assist in the investigation and prosecution of their traffickers, after 3 years , the attorney general will give them permanent residence. But it didn’t last long, for the Bush administration had failed to fund its provision in a way that was meaningful. There has been such a lack of traffic investigations, 639 were opened by the Department of Justice between 2001 and 2006. Yet only 360 defendants were charged and only 238 convictions. My assessment on the integrity of this article is that the information is accurate and to the point. The author is legitimate. I definitely find that it is public service information. I will use this information because it is stating why human trafficking is in a slow process of being solved. This article, The Crusade Against Sex Trafficking, by Noy Thrupkaeu, is about efforts that are trying to do...

...AN INTERPRETATION OF HUMAN TRAFFFICKING AIU ENGL107-1203B-18 : English Composition II Lois Roskoski Saturday, July 21 2012 Abstract The author of this paper gives an argument of human trafficking. He explores the graphic nature of human trafficking. He describes the people that are affected by it, the people doing it and the people putting an end to this problem. His concern for human trafficking is for everyone to see it as a problem. * One of the most terrible parts in history that relates to human trafficking is slavery. Humans were exploited and brought to different lands like the new world also known as the Americas. Laws were made to end the slave trade. Slavery was stopped long ago and it has been abolished in the United States for a while now. For an understanding of the term human trafficking, an interpretation of the issue would be needed to give an explanation of the adult and child victims, criminals engaging in human trafficking and law enforcement stopping human trafficking. Adult And Child Victims Adults and children are the victims in human trafficking. Men are exploited for cheap labor. They could be put to work hard all day on farms or plantations and not get any insurance or any benefits that governments offer to legal working citizens or immigrants in the countries that they are sold in. Women and Children are at a high risk for being sold for sexual purposes. Women could be forced to be prostitutes or escorts and children could be bought...

...UNIT 1: IP ADDRESSING SCENARIO First to start off with this scenario you should think about the design. When designing I would use one floor with a single data closet. This will be able to have one hundred and fifty users. There’s a list of equipment and software that’s needed. A core network, networks for your firewall, server network, voice network, wireless network. Also networks for other services you have not yet identified, like security, cameras, fire, door and video. The subnet range would be one-hundred and forty five from one-hundred and forty six. The network number would be one-hundred and forty four. Also the broadcast number will be one-hundred and forty seven. In this case as far as which class it would be is class B. In the case of the how the IP addresses would be assigned I would consider choosing statically. A static IP address is a number that is assigned to a computer by an internet service provider to be its permanent address on the internet. Also an advantage of having statically IP addresses is that they’re easy to use and less expensive. When it comes to maintaining and obtaining they’re easier to have as well. In answering the question about having one or more network/subnets to be used, I would think that you should use multiple network or subnets just in case you want to expand the size of your IP addresses. If you keep everything at its minimum size or space then that’s all you have to work with. If you make sure that you have extra space, host...

...Unit 1 Individual Project Economic Concepts Lamar Dolby ECON220-1204B-04 Faime Moussavi October 7, 2012 Abstract Michelle and James are two people faced with opportunity cost decisions. They both can produce chickens and potatoes or one or the other. They both live in isolated regions but share the same resources. When faced with opportunity costs one has to decide what they have to give up in order to gain something they want. In the scenario Michelle can grow 200 potatoes per year or raise 50 chickens per year. James can grow 80 potatoes per year or raise 40 chickens per year. They both can gain and lose from doing both or choosing one and devoting all their time to that particular area. Opportunity Cost Introduction In today’s society we are faced with many different choices and decisions to make. Should I buy a new car today? Can I afford to purchase a new home? I am sick but I am going to work anyway. These questions and the choices made are all opportunity costs. Opportunity cost does not always have to deal with money or a number (2007). Opportunity cost is the choice you make or the alternative the choice you made. Simply put, “What you would have done if you had not made the decision you did”. We must understand that an opportunity only considers the next best alternative to an action (2007). Scenario; Michelle Michelle’s opportunity cost for producing only potatoes is, she would have to give up producing chickens. She could produce 200lbs. of potatoes...
