“Security Controls”  Please respond to the following:

Evaluate the impact on auditors if operating systems and networks are determined to lack adequate security controls. Suggest at least two controls that should be implemented to reduce the risk to data integrity and explain your answer.

Create an argument in support of establishing a policy for security violations so when breaches occur, the organization will be a position to prosecute the person committing the violation. Determine the types of security controls that should be implemented to reduce security violations and explain your answer.

“Database Systems” Please respond to the following:

Assess the effectiveness of the grandparent-parent-child backup technique, providing suggestions for implementing such a system. Provide support for your suggestions.

From the e-Activity, evaluate three emerging issues that relate to the implementation of IT systems and the related impact on the fraud environment. Recommend a risk mitigation strategy associated with installing a new database system, and determine the impact of designing an effective internal control audit plan to determine if those risks have been identified.

Discussion Question – ECO 550 Week 3

January 24, 2020 1 Comment Business Finance - Economics

Week 3 Discussion 

The Tariff, the Price Elasticity of Demand and the Impact on Company Profits

Here is some help with elasticity.  

In this week’s discussion your are going to be the CEO of a company.  In anticipation of the upcoming quarterly disclosure of profits, you prepare your Board of Directors for the challenge that US Tariffs on Chinese Imports is having on profits.  Please make yourself CEO of only one of these hypothetical companies.

‘Tis the Season- ‘Tis the season is one of the largest importers of holiday decorations and the summer quarter is devoted to importing decorations such as lighting, artificial trees, table runners,  outdoor yard decorations all of which have to be ready to ship by early fall. In fact we at ‘Tis the Season has a highly inelastic supply curve, they ramp up to produce decorations for each season and then once that season has been shipped they move on to the next season.  Fortunately the price elasticity of demand for almost all of your products is 0.19.

We Build Big – We Build Big is one of the largest developers of residential structure in the US.  We Build Big, builds every thing from apartment complexes to new single family homes.  Critical materials such as lumber, gypsum board, fabricate metal etc are largely imported. We Build Big know that our production process, the supply curve, is relatively inelastic. The concern over profits is that the price elasticity of demand for housing is 1.0.

Very Big US Auto – Very Big US Auto is one of the oldest and one of the largest auto manufacturers of auto in the US.  Very Big US Auto’s supply chain is highly dependent components manufactured in China and assembled in the US. Very Big US Auto knows that the price elasticity of supply is relatively inelastic and that then the price elasticity of demand which is 1.2.

Now explain:

  • Is the demand curve for your product relatively elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic?  Demonstrate for your company’s product, by how much the quantity demanded will change if you pass on the 25% increase in cost from the tariff as a price increase for your product. In other words, show your calculation of the percentage change in the quantity demanded given a 25% change in the price.
  • Given your company’s price elasticity of supply and price elasticity of demand prepare a statement for your board as to the potential impact of profits.   Who will pay the the larger share of the tariff, your firm or your customers.

NOTE THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT, YOUR RESPONSE MUST INCLUDE A CALCULATION.  DR. ISLEY COVERS THE CALCULATION IN HER LIVE SESSION.  

PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON WIKIPEDIA, INVESTOPEDIA OR ANY OTHER PEDIA AS A REFERENCE AT ANYTIME IN THIS COURSE.

FOR THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE CREDIT OF 20 POINTS, YOU MUST COMPLETE ONE POST AND ONE FOLLOW-UP/REPLY.  MAKE SURE BOTH THE POST AND REPLY FOCUS ON THE QUESTIONS ASKED.

THE INTERNATIONAL REGULATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS: TOWARDS ABSOLUTE EXCLUSION?

January 24, 2020 2 Comments APA, Law

My doctor had sent me the following instructions to employ on my research proposal. Editing and rewriting is required in the light of the two following paragraphs to be done on my research proposal. I would also like to ask if you could implement new amendments after its first delivery for me? Thank you.

“My concern with your proposed project at this stage is in regards to the research question(s) that you pose: the originality of the project and its potential to advance the discourse (which is required for a PhD). A number of commentators have already been discussing the legal potential/impact of the TPNW, and it is fairly clear that it would be very difficult to see it as having binding customary effect without the support of the nuclear powers, which is not going to happen any time soon. I think its fair to say that the discussion has already moved to questions of e.g. political impact, possible shifts in perspective towards humanitarian underpinnings in discourse and the relationship between disarmament and arms control in this context. I am, for example, currently supervising a PhD considering some of these wider aspects, which is already half completed. I do not think it is possible to base a PhD project on the legal impact of the treaty at this stage in the way that you envisage. In addition, other aspects of your project, such as the correctness of the ICJs conclusions regarding the compatibility of nuclear weapons with IHL principles such as distinction is of course important, but has been written about extensively since 1996.”

“I therefore think it is necessary for you to identify a more novel research question or approach that allows you to move some of these debates forward. You clearly have excellent knowledge in this area as I say, your background research work in this proposal is excellent and I would be interested in working with you on a topic in the nuclear law field, but my view is that you need a stronger research question for a viable PhD proposal.”

Characteristics of Culture

January 24, 2020 3 Comments APA, Humanities

Professor’s instructions: In Week 3 we will be talking about the characteristics of culture.

1) Within our culture, there are many subcultures (a group of people who hold many of the values and norms of the large culture but also hold onto certain beliefs, values, and
norms, that set them apart.) Are you familiar with any subcultures or ethnic minorities in your own society? Could you make friends with or even marry someone from another subculture? What kind of problems would you be likely to encounter? (Student: the answer is yes for the last part of the question.)

2)  As noted in the readings, culture is based on symbols. What is a symbol of your culture and what does it signify?

3) Peoples in all cultures across the world display ethnocentrism, but some more so than others. Considering todays globalization (as described in Chapter 1), do you think ethnocentrism poses more of a problem than in the past? What are the positives and what are the negatives of ethnocentrism?
