As Lynn headed out to go shopping, she already knew her four-year-old son was in a bad mood. All that day he had been doing all that he could to frustrate her.

...Birch Paper Company Birch Paper Company Question 1 Which bid should Northern Division on accept that is in the best interests of Birch paper company? Answer: Thompson division even through the bid from west paper seems at first to be the best choice. In you calculate out the cost you find that Thompson actually has the lowest costs associated with them. Cost involved: ✓ Costs for Thompson are a:Linearboard and corrugating medium: cost $ 400x 70% * 60% - $168 plus out of pocket: $400x 30% = 120, for a total cost of $ 288. ✓ Cost for west papers would be a total of $ 430. ✓ Cost for Eire papers would be $ 90x 60% - $ 54 (Southern) plus $ 25 (Thompson), and their supplies of $ 432 – 5 - 432 = $ 312 for a total of $ 391. Question 2 Should Mr. Kenton accept this bid? Why or why not? Answer: Mr. Kenton should not accept the bid from west because it isn’t in the best interest of the company, but at the same time with the transfer policy that exists, it is really up to him what is in the best interests of his division. I believe he should accept the bid from Thompson because not only will it result in the lowest cost, but also it will encourage buying from within the company. Question 3 Should the vice president of Birch paper company take any action? Answer: Yes. As if no orders come from top management Kenton would accept the lowest bid. The vice president of Birch should take action in order to remedy the overall problems associated with...

...life. Right away they have contact with different types of communication from the start. Most children can identify basic signs and logos by the age of 2 or 3. From there they will begin to experiment with written forms of communicating long before they can read by scribbling. Reading and writing develop at the same time in young children who are unified or consistent. Children love to make marks on paper. As they do this, they begin to realize that the symbols on pages are letters that form words. This will help with the attempt to put their thoughts down on paper as well. The development of writing skills consists of stages that children go through. Parents can promote early literacy development for infants by presenting cloth or cardboard books with bright pictures, reading books that have rhyming words, surrounding children with fiction and nonfiction books, magazines or games, reading simple stories with one main character and a simple plot, responding to questions your child might have about print in your house or elsewhere, and supporting early writing by making sure that paper, crayons, pencils and markers are always available. Parents can also promote early literacy development for toddlers and preschoolers by...
