[order_calculator]Stand-Alone Project: Case Study in Managerial Accounting (250 points)
You should begin working on the Stand-Alone Project early in the course. Each assignment provides a benchmark for completing the Stand-Alone Project in a timely manner while working through the course. You will find this information in the “Stand-Alone Project Benchmark” section of each assignment.
Your Stand-Alone Project responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct and formatted in the same fashion as the project itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document them in a bibliography using APA style.
Each assignment in this course focuses on a different concept in managerial accounting. These concepts apply whether a firm is involved in manufacturing, merchandising, or service, as well as non-profit organizations. The purpose of this project is to help you understand the use and application of the concepts covered in the course. You are being asked to study an actual firm and to report on its use of the concepts covered in this course. (250 points) (A 20-page response is required.)
Part A Select a firm that is publicly traded. This ensures you can access the needed data and information from published financial disclosures and articles found in various business journals such as Strategic Finance, Management Accounting Quarterly, etc.
Note: For large firms, you may want to study only a segment of the firm. If so, ensure that you break down company data for the segment chosen.
Provide the following background information on the firm you selected. (25 points)
1. Firm Name
2. Description of the Industry in Which the Firm Operates
3. Type of Business or Segment of the Firm (manufacturing, merchandising, service, or non-profit organization)
4. General Description of the Firm’s Operations, Organization, Products, and Markets
Note: The rest of the report will deal with the concepts covered in this course. Following are concepts that should be discussed in your report. Although some discussion relating to each concept is expected, please feel free to place a greater emphasis on topics of special interest to you. You may also want to place an emphasis on an area of weakness that may result in corrective action by the firm.
Conversely, for your benefit, you may want to explore in depth a topic in which the firm has a real strength. Your study may find areas in which the firm needs improvement. A “no” answer for many of the questions would indicate a weakness in the firm’s systems. In those instances, you should make recommendations. Provide complete details of the recommendations that you make, including why the recommendation is being made and the benefits to be gained. Each of the following components of your report requires a minimum of two (2) pages. This allows flexibility for you to emphasize your areas of specific interest.

Below is requirement and an example of my classmate.
For this part of the project, you will need to utilize the library database of scientific journal articles to:
a. search for 2 primary research papers regarding one of the topics listed below,
b. obtain a copy of the FULL paper (NOT just the abstract),
c. read it, and
d. summarize the research papers in a way that would make sense to the general public
You must use 2 different primary research papers (not review articles) as references. The two papers should be on the same topic so as to compare the two. Summarize your findings in 250-500 words (excluding references). Cite all of your references using appropriate citation style such as APA, MLA, or AMA within the summary and your references at the end (see book references for examples).
IMPORTANT: Please use original words and be careful not to plagiarize. You must include your summary in this document AND post it on the ‘Iron project’ forum on the discussion board for full credit. (You can copy and paste into a discussion posting). ). If you have questions about what peer reviewed primary research papers are, please ask. The purpose is for you to find two different papers that did an experiment on the same topic. And give me your conclusions based on these two papers. What is your take home message?
Topics to choose from:
· Iron deficiency during pregnancy
· Iron and cognitive function in children
· Iron status in vegans
· Most effective form of oral iron supplementation
Grading Guidelines:
· Primary research paper appropriately chosen (i.e., primary research paper, published in scientific journals, NOT review articles, etc). No credit if papers are not primary research.
· 2 pts: appropriate reference within summary and citations
· 1: posting on discussion board
· 4 pts: quality of summary. This should be adequately summarized so that the general public could understand the implications.
Example :
The purpose to the Prevalence of Iron Deficiency Anemia among Iranian Pregnant Women was to detect the average iron status for women who were in their 20-40’s living in Iran. The study was limited to healthy individuals who were not refugees, had cancer, or were undergoing hemodialysis as these groups would stand as outliers and skew the data. A total of 11,037 participants were entered into the analysis (Barooti, et al., 2010). Of these, 42% regularly saw a physician to be tested every month while pregnant. The other 58% had regular house visits from the physician. Hematocrit tests and urine samples were taken for each visit. The maximum percent of pregnant women who had anemia was 95%. Out of those, 67% were in their second or third trimester. The percentage of anemia in Iranian women during pregnancy is considerably highter than that of most EMRO countries (Barooti, et al., 2010).
The second article, Screening for Iron Deficiency Anemia-Including Iron Supplementation for Children and Pregnant Women was a case study based on a 25 year old female who has a family history of anemia and is currently in her first trimester of pregnancy. Regular checkups were done throughout the entire pregnancy. Regular iron testings were done. During the first trimester, the iron levels based on the hematocrit testings were at a normal range of 40%. By the second trimester, the numbers have dropped significantly to 26%. Iron supplements were added to the diet and increased the iron level to 54% by the end of the third trimester (Mabry-Hernandez, 2009).
To summarize for patients, during the first trimester of pregnancy, iron levels remained relatively steady. The body is able to store enough eaten iron for the body and the growing fetus. Begining the second and third trimesters, the fetus is growing and is in need of a larger iron supply which promotes normal development. The iron input is less than the iron required which causes anemia. Anemia is the most common hematological disorder during pregnancy which causes complications for the mother and fetus (Barooti, et al., 2010). Eating a well balanced diet, including lean meats, beans, and fresh vegetables are a good source of iron. Iron supplements are also recommended to aquire enough iron to sustain the mother and fetus.

[order_calculator]Many critics believe that federal law enforcement has encroached into the realm of police responsibilities, particularly with regard to street crimes involving drugs, guns, and gangs. At the same time, some critics have argued for a more robust role for local law enforcement in combating terrorism and fighting illegal immigration—two areas historically thought to be the exclusive responsibility of the federal government.
On the basis of the assigned readings for this module, including the majority and minority opinions in U.S. v. Lopez (1995), available in the Argosy University online library (Westlaw Campus Research database) and in light of your own views on government police power,
Explain whether there are any particular law enforcement duties that should exclusively belong to federal law enforcement or the police. What is the reason for your choice?
Explain whether we should continue with the multiple layers of police agencies, some as small as a single officer, or whether there should be fewer agencies, like a regional police agency and a national police agency, to handle all aspects of law enforcement in the United States. Justify your answer with examples, showing why one approach is better than the other.
