There are a lot of legal issues at hand in this scenario, but the main legal issue whether the company is telling the truth or is it valid or not. The soft drink company put a deal out there, which promised a reward of a Harrier Jet for whoever would reach 7 million company points. But when a customer reached the 7 million points it remained to be seen if the company would keep there end of the bargain. The issue here is whether the company’s suggestion for exceeding something that wasn’t a reasonable or appropriate award constituted a valid contract or not. What are the 4 elements of a valid contract? There are four elements of a contract and when a party files a suit claiming a breach of contract; the first question the judge must answer is whether a contract existed between the parties. The complaining party must prove four elements to show that a contract existed: (1) offer, (2) Consideration, (3) Acceptance and (4) Mutuality. If any one of them is missing, the agreement will not be legally binding. An offer is when one of the parties makes a promise to do or refrain from doing some specified action in the future.

...Running head: BINDINGS To make bindings or not to make bindings that is the question Natalie Johnson January 21, 2011 American Intercontinental University Abstract Many companies outsource for their companies benefits. Others have learned that outsourcing was not such a great idea and that it caused more problems than solved them. The Ski Pro Corporation has now decided to start making cross country skis instead of sticking with just producing water skis. The Ski Pro Corporation now needs to decide if it is better to make the bindings that the new skis require or outsource the making of the bindings. To make bindings or not to make bindings that is the question The Ski Pro Corporation would like to know if they should make the bindings or outsource them to a subcontractor. The Ski Pro Corporation should just make the bindings only because if they outsource it will cost an extra $0.50 per pair. That extra $0.50 spent on outsourcing could eventually add up over time. Calculation: Direct Labor: $35 Direct Material: $30 Total Overhead: $15 Making Bindings: Labor: $35 * 10,000 = $350,000 Material: $30 * 10,000 = $300,000 Overhead: $15 * 10,000 = $150,000 Total Cost: 350,000 + 300,000 + 150,000 = $800,000 Outsource Bindings: Purchase Labor: 350,000 * 10% = $35,000 Purchase Material 300,000 * 20% = $60,000 Variable Overhead: 50,000 * 10% = $5,000 Variable Overhead Costs need to be calculated. First we take the Fixed Overhead which is $100,000. Now we need...

...1) Mere Assertion means that it is true because one believes it is. Argument: If I said that I am the most beautiful person in the world. To me that would be what I believed and no matter what one says, I will believe it no matter what, until it is proven otherwise. 2) Circular Reasoning meaning to me that the reasoning is the same all the way around. Argument: That I believe God is real and that he wrote the Bible (Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth). That he also created man and woman, and all things in this world. That he died for on the cross for my sins. That he also died and rose from the dead. 3) Ad Hominine means that one is attacking another without a valid argument or attacking someone not pertaining to what is being argued. Argument: Because I am a Christian and I said not only under my belief is abortion wrong but that it is morally wrong. One might say that I would say that because of my religious background. Even if I gave valid reasons why it is morally wrong, even for someone who is not a Christian. 4) Red Herring is making a statement that does not pertain to the argument, and it made is to try and confuse others. Argument: My boys argue about doing chores. If one has taken out the trash the day before and the dog needs to go out today, then the one who took the trash out yesterday might say well I took out the trash yesterday, when both are a daily chore. 5) Pseudo-Questions is when someone ask a question that seems to have a...

Part I: Adjacency Matrix and Shortest Path Construct a graph based on the adjacency matrix that appears below. Label all nodes with indices consistent with the placement of numbers within the matrix. ⌈0 | 6 | 0 | 5 | 0⌉ | | 6 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 | | | 0 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 8 | | | 5 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 | | ⌊0 | 3 | 8 | 0 | 0⌋ | | | | | | * Describe the graph and why it is consistent with the matrix. The Graph above is an undirected graph. As the lines are not directed towards a particular node, the lines or edges go both ways. It is consistent with the matrix because the matrix is defining the edges. * How many simple paths are there from vertex 1 to vertex 5? Explain. There are 3 paths. 1-2-5, 1-2-3-5, 1-4-3-5. * Which is the shortest of those paths? That would be the 1-2 path.

Internal control procedures are the duty of the management. Every single control must be assessed based on risk and a cost/benefit inquiry. Several operational low cost procedures can be applied. These control procedures, when in service effectively, will arrange for a sensible assurance that mistakes will be either prohibited or identified. Instances of controls that would have make sure that the prepaid tunings were made would be to gather a check-list of cyclical monthly journal records, than as a part of the financial report evaluation procedure, this check-list ought to be looked over by the management.

They don’t know that there are certain laws that police must abide by when it pertains to search warrants. We all should know the definition of probable cause. Probable cause must be based on facts. There are many factors that go into probable cause, Observation what an officer can see smell or hear, expertise the skills the officer obtains, information the info that is provided by a victim witness or informant. Circumstantial Evidence, evidence that implies a crime but doesn’t prove it. There are exceptions in the probable cause issue like the section 44 terrorism act which states that it enables the police to define a space and time to stop any person or vehicle and seize anything that could be connected to terrorism. The section also states that the police don’t have to have reasonable suspicion that an offence has been committed. Some reasons for legal warrantless searches are any immediate threat public safety in example of someone screaming in a private room the police can have the door opened by force if necessary to determine if a violent crime is in progress they can then seize anything related to the crime that is in plain evidence.

...Unit 3 Individual Project Art Appreciation HUMA 205 June 25, 2013 Abstract I will attempt to compare and contrast two pieces of art work from the renaissance period. Out of our textbook I chose a piece by Masaccio, The Holy Trinity. The piece of art I chose from a website is from Leonardo da Vinci called Madonna and Child. Both pieces of art are masterpieces of the early renaissance period. Renaissance Paintings and the Artists For many Europeans the renaissance was a period of achievement and worldwide exploration. It was a time of discovery. A time of new and renewed understanding that changed the medieval times and laid the foundation for modern society. Masaccio became the first major painter of the Italian Renaissance. He greatly influenced the art of painting in the renaissance. He moved Italian painting away from the idealizations of Gothic art and presenting his work as a more profound, natural, and humanist world. The Holy Trinity was the last painting he did and is considered one of his greatest masterpieces. Masaccio constructed his masterpiece with simplicity and naturalistic, three dimensionality. (The Holy Trinity by Masaccio, nd) The Holy Trinity was one of the first paintings Masaccio used the linear perspective. Linear perspective is a mathematical system used for creating three dimensional shapes and figures on a flat surface. He used perspective to make the illusion of three dimensions. The perspective lines draw the viewer...

...March 5, 2013 Abstract This assignment will use the CGM and the CAPM to calculate some information regarding the XYZ stock market. XYZ Stock Market Information Krf=2% XYZ’s beta =1.64 XYZ’s current annual dividend = $.80 XYZ’s 3-year dividend growth rate (g) = 8.2% Industry P/E = $4.87 KS= (Risk Free Rate) + Beta (Market Premium) KS= (0.2) + 1.64 (.075) KS= (0.2) + 0.123 KS= 0.143 or 14.3% Stock Price= Estimated dividend/ (Cost of Equity-Growth) .80/(14.3%-8.2%) .80/6.1% $13.11 The current stock price is $76.28, which depicts a difference of $63.17 between the stock price above and the current stock price. Such a large difference might be from all of these factors: 1. When figuring the rate of return, we assumed a market risk premium of 7.5%. This type of assumption is not correct because the market risk premium changes every day, and when this happens, XYZ’s required rate of return would be affected; thus affecting the stock price as well. 2. The growth rate used to do the math was 8.2%. The present XYZ growth rate might be higher than this rate, thus a difference with the growth rate could possibly result in a different price per share. 3. The XYZ price per share had been going up over the past month. This particular raise in the share price could have caused non-experienced shareholders to spend lots on the XYZ stock, thus causing the share price to increase. KS= (0.2) + 1.64 (.10) KS= (0.2) + 0.164 KS= 0...

...Activity-based & Process Costing Unit 3 (IP) AIU Online Virtual Campus 05-11-2012 Abstract The discussion on this paper will be about a ski company that is considering branching out their company by either buying or producing some manufactured goods to boost their business during the winter months. This ski company produces and sells an exceedingly victorious profile of water skis, but are studying about the most current intersect-country skis. If this company decides on obtaining the strip wanted or they can produce the bindings for their skis to switch them into snow skis for the winter then they would need to know whether they are gaining or losing profits for the company. If gaining the profits then the company will need to expand the business, but if losing the profits then they will need to go back to step one and look to see if they did not jump before the gun on a much bigger step than they should have taken. Activity-based & Process Costing A collection of techniques and tools can identify with how management’s decisions can affect costs through a cost management system (CMS). The CMS computes the organizations activities in performance and by the costs of resources, in order to access the change in costs in the business activities. This system can provide to your business an aggregate measure of inventory value and the manufactured cost of goods on the external reports that are submitted to the investors, creditors, plus other external stakeholders that...
