A capital investment plan is a document that is typically prepared to obtain funding and/or financing. For your Final Project, which is due in Week Five, you will assume the role of a department manager who is seeking funding/financing for a capital investment, and you will create a capital investment plan to present to your chief financial officer and board. In the scenario you choose, you may be looking to expand in an existing department, or you may focus on a brand new capital investment for a new service line.

For this assignment, address the following points as they pertain to your selected capital investment:

Executive Summary: State the purpose of the report and describe the major points of the report.
Service and/or Equipment Description: This section should be at least one page.
Establishing the Team: This section should be at least one page. Include a chart that illustrates the structure of the capital investment team. In addition, provide a summary of your team (background, responsibilities, etc.) as it pertains to your selected business.
Addressing these points will help you as you begin to develop your capital investment plan. Your paper should be two to three double-spaced pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages. Format your paper according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

This is the first assignment
Chief Financial Officer
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston will be the hospital information I will use. This will be my 8th year been employed here. The department of Division of Finance is where the CFO Dwain Morris is. He holds two titles which are the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Morris has 9 different departments under him, we will focus on the Financial Planning & Analysis which is ran by Juan Castro AVP. Financial Planning & Analysis is broken down into 5 sub-departments. The departments are Operating Budgets and Forecasts, Capital budgets, Economic Forecasting Model, Long Term Capital Plan and Business Plans.
Division of Finance
My reason for picking Financial Planning & Analysis is because it focus on practices and strategies for improving the institution’s financial budgeting and planning techniques. It also provides customer service by delivering accurate and timely financial data, analysis and recommendations to facilitate progressive and insightful decision-making for the institution. This also helps the development of the institution’s Operating and Capital Budget processes. Long-Term Capital Plan outlines the major projects on the planning horizon which will be a source of financing. This would be summarizes of cash available to the capital plan, external sources and timing of uses such that cash surpluses/deficits can be anticipated.

This is the markup I got back

You are a writer for a local newspaper, and your editor has just told you that you’re getting your own column and a giant raise, which is amazing, because you’re still a college student. The focus of your column is to offer a weekly critique, where you compare and contrast two like things as a means of informing and persuading your readers. What you choose for your subject is up to you. You can compare two of anything e.g. sport teams, actors, ice cream, movies, restaurants, shampoos, industrial sized ovens–whatever. The catch is that your column has to engage the reader. Otherwise, you will be out of a job and standing in the unemployment line within a week.
Assignment
Compare and contrast two like things of your choosing. The subject should be something you know about. It should be clear from your opening paragraph, what criteria you are using and which of the two things you prefer and why (This is your thesis idea/purpose and motive). What follows in your column’s body will be a comparison and contrast that persuades and supports the reasoning that drives your preference. In terms of how you organize your ideas, you may use a subject by subject (block by block) approach or a point by point approach. Be sure to utilize some of the other methods of development in your response e.g. example, description, analysis, etc. to make your column more effective and interesting for your audience.
Length- 400 words/typed and formatted
Assessment
When I am reviewing this exercise, I will be focusing on the clarity of your thesis and your ability to effectively persuade using comparison and contrast. The caliber of your writing will be considered; therefore, this response should be carefully proofread and be relatively error-free in terms of spelling, grammar, awkward phrasing, etc.

Tasks to be undertaken:
You are the sustainability manager for a manufacturer of electrically powered garden tools (hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, wood chippers, lawn mowers, etc.) for home and small business users. At present, your material and energy flows are entirely linear (no reuse or recycling). Your CEO has seen a presentation on ‘The Circular Economy’ and has asked you to investigate the extent to which this concept could be applied to the company and its products. You are primarily responsible for the sustainability of the manufacturing activities of the company, but your role also involves you in the planning of future products and the business model of the organisation, since all these also affect industrial sustainability.
1. Describethemanufacturingprocessesusedforthethreemaintypesof component in your products, which are:
• Structural parts (handle, body, housings, etc.)
• Electrical parts (motors, switches, wires, circuit boards) and • Functional parts (blades, fans, etc.)
Note: Some of the components are manufactured by your suppliers and simply assembled in your factory. This includes most of the electrical parts.
2. Describeafuturesustainableindustrialsystemintermsofthestagesinthe lifecycle of a typical product after the company’s material and energy flows have been made as ‘circular’ as possible.
3. Foreachofthetypesofcomponentabove,describetheshorttermandlonger term steps that the company should take to get to the sustainable system you described above. Where possible, illustrate your arguments from case studies in the literature and indicate briefly any relevant policy implications.
Deliverables to be submitted for assessment:
Your report should be no more than 3000 words. Use appendices to include additional charts, illustrations and data as necessary. Appendices should be no longer than 5 pages in total. The document should be produced in the style of a technical report (formal, factual and to the point). You should use a font of size no less than 10 points.
How the work will be marked:
Assessment will be based on the extent to which the learning outcomes listed above have been met, and the extent to which the above instructions, notes and guidance are complied with (for example regarding word limit, style, structure, referencing and citation, etc.). The criteria below relate to the current pass mark of 50%.
• To achieve a marginal pass of 50% to 54%, you should list the main processing steps for the three types of components, outline a future circular scenario and list a set of initiatives that the company should undertake to make the transition from a linear to circular operations, indicating the timescales over which they might be practically applied.

• To achieve a pass of 55% to 59%, in addition to the above you should suggest a bold and innovative approach to the supply, maintenance and disposal of electrically powered garden tools, indicating how this affects the product design, manufacturing processes and business model of the company. You should also indicate the extent to which your changes are feasible in the short and longer term, highlighting any trade-offs between different approaches to industrial sustainability, for example the trade-off between longevity and ease of disassembly.
• To achieve a good pass of 60% to 69%, you should demonstrate the ability to critically compare different approaches to manufacturing in order to make a transition from a linear to a circular economy. You should demonstrate an ability to synthesise knowledge from relevant literature to construct responses which reveal good skills of critical analysis and insight.
• To achieve an excellent pass of 70% or greater you must demonstrate an authoritative grasp of the conceptual context of the assignment and show insights into current debates around this subject. You should demonstrate the ability to express your arguments clearly, concisely and accurately, with a high degree of technical competence.
Work that is deficient in most of the respects outlined above, showing no evidence of critical analysis will be awarded an outright fail of 44% or less. A marginal fail of 45% to 49% may be awarded to work which demonstrates some understanding of the problem but where the understanding, accuracy, organisation and critical analysis fail to justify a marginal pass.

You are becoming familiar with the vastly different effects that substances of abuse have on the body, as well as their varied processes of addiction.

This week, you will examine the addictive properties of substances in three additional classifications and compare the physiological and psychological effects of two of them. You also will examine how cross-tolerance to substances occurs and consider issues related to poly-substance abuse, with a focus on contemporary drug trends.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this week, you should be able to:
• Compare the physiological effects, psychological effects, and addictive properties of substances
• Analyze the risks and implications of poly-substance abuse
• Explain the process of cross-tolerance
Please proceed to the Learning Resources.

Hallucinogens, Inhalants, and Steroids

Understanding the classifications of substances and the differences in their effects on the body will help give you clarity on the nature of addiction and broaden your knowledge base about the common addiction issues you may encounter when working with substance abusers.

In this Discussion, you will continue your examination of common substances of abuse and their properties and effects on the body, as well as their processes of addiction.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the properties, physiological and psychological effects, and processes of addiction of hallucinogens, inhalants, and steroids.

• Consider the properties of the various substances, their physiological and psychological effects on the body, and the process of addiction that occurs with each.

• Review the DVD segment, “Substances and Addictions,” with Dr. Tom Cargiulo, focusing on the information Dr. Cargiulo discusses about hallucinogens (psychedelics).

• Select two substances to compare, one each from two of the three following categories: hallucinogens, inhalants, and steroids.

• Reflect on how the substances are similar to and different from one another in terms of both physiological and psychological effects.

With these thoughts in mind:

Write a comparison (similarities and differences) of the physiological effects, psychological effects, and addictive properties of two substances (one each from two of the three following categories: hallucinogens, inhalants, and steroids).

Note: Put the names of the two substances you are comparing in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to the posting of a colleague who compared at least one substance that you did not.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Strategic Management
Fiat-Chrysler car industry.

Dear writer
This task there is 3 main questions. But my task is to do question 1 only. Which question 1 you focus on the past why they merge?

So in question 1, you can see it has a few sub questions in there but I would like you to work just focus on PESTLE and Porter’s 5 forces ( RED sentence).

For example, PESTLE you can use Technology, Social and Legal and find some supporting informations for them, also do the Porter’s 5 forces.

I have uploaded all information please download them all and read carefully.

You are asked to prepare a report, focusing on three issues:

1. An analysis of the external factors impacting upon the car industries in which the company operates and the rationale for the two companies to go together

This question refers to the reasons behind the merger/acquisition. Why did Marchionne make a multi-billion dollar bet? Why did he decide to buy a moribund Chrysler (it wasn’t the first time that Chrysler had gone bankrupt)? What external factors could justify this decision? The question is orientated to external factors but the firm/environment interface should not be ignored. A ‘reduced’ PESTLE (i.e. analyse only relevant elements, skip the rest) is of course useful, but other tools such as Porter’s 5 forces may be more analytical in revealing the industry key factors.
