    Clearly label each problem.
    Show and explain all work. No credit will be given if work is not shown. Make sure that your explanation shows understanding of the mathematical concepts used to solve the problem.
    Include a statement with your final answer explaining what the answer means. For example, instead of providing a numerical answer only, say In two years, the account balance will be $4507.98.

It is All About the Money
Congratulations! You have just come into a large sum of money. You make the wise decision to invest the money to use at a later date. Use the exponential equation to find the total amount in the investment account after a certain number of years.  Interest: If an initial principal P is invested at an annual rate r and the interest is compounded n times per year, the amount A in the account after t years is:

For your problem:
    Choose an amount between $5,000 and $500,000 for p , the initial amount of money to invest.
    Choose a rate between 2% and 11% for r , the interest rate per year.
    Choose daily, monthly, or yearly for n , the number of times per year the interest will be compounded
    Choose between 5 and 30 years for t , the number of years you will let the account grow.
    Include what values you have chosen and find the value of the account at the end of the time period. How would you spend this money?.

Planning for the Future
You will complete a reflective essay to address the following questions which relate to your calculations from the problem above.

    Consider what you know about personal financial matters. Where did you gain this knowledge? Did you learn about these matters in school or some other deliberate training, or did you learn from personal experience? Are you satisfied with your level of knowledge on personal financial matters? Are you satisfied with how you have handled money in the past?
    Consider your calculations from the problem above. How do changes in interest rate, time, and compounding affect the amount of interest earned on an investment? What changes will you make in the way you deal with money based on what you learned?
    What do you wish you had known earlier in your financial life? What financial advice would you give to a young person just starting out?

Development of Business Strategy

October 13, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Business and Management

In your first essay you identified a strategy. Now it is time to execute your strategy so that organizational goals are attained. You also identified some competitive forces that may work against you; in your implementation, this must be taken into consideration.
You should develop a 5 page, APA-formatted paper, in which you explain what strategy you would select, how you would execute the strategy, and answer the following questions:
    What will you do to execute your chosen strategy?
o    What roles will management play in the execution and implementation of your strategy to strengthen the company’s competitive position?
    So, the people within the organization are crucial when implementing and executing strategy. Your strategic plan may have been to compete more heavily in any of the following areas: low cost leadership, differentiation, focused, or quality.
o    Depending on what your strategic approach, what kind of qualities will you look for in employees (skills, knowledge, ethics, etc.) that will ensure the success of your strategy?
o    What type of characteristics, traits, ethics, etc. must they possess?
o    How will you train them?
    At the end of strategic implementation, you should have strengthened your company’s competitive position. What will you do as director to continue to increase your company’s strategic position?
o    Would you stay on the offensive, defensive, stay in problem-solving mode, delve into the creative and innovative?
o    Provide both quantitative and qualitative reasoning for your discussion. This could include how you will measure financials (accounting reports, budgets, etc.), customer and/.or employee evaluations (quantitative surveys), sales reports, etc

Imagine that you have been asked to write a scientific article to be published in a prominent journal on the topic of osteoporosis as a multifactorial disease. Prepare a written paper of at least 1000 words on the following bullet points:

What is the functional relationship between the integumentary and skeletal systems?

How does failure to maintain homeostasis in the integumentary system affect bone formation and remodeling processes? Be sure to discuss how the different types of bone cells respond to different factors (e.g., ions, hormones, cellular signaling molecules, etc.) and what the driving force behind maintaining homeostasis in the bone remodeling process.

Describe the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and explain why it is considered a multifactorial

WRITING YOUR FINAL POLICY PAPER (10-pages)
Please go over this checklist of tips!       
1)  Recheck your paper to see if you have constructed it according to the TEMPLATE.
POLICY PAPER template (APA format. Ensure headings for sections & sub-sections.)
Cover page with your name, course name & number with section, & TITLE of Issue paper
I.  Introduction:                                                                                                                        half-1 page 
                          1. What is the issue
                          2. Why it is important
II.  Science section:                                                                                                                        4 pages   
                            1. Epidemiological scope of the problem: statistics
                                2.  Medical/scientific explanation of problem or pathology
                                3.  Insufficient current treatments or solutions to problem
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _    HALFWAY HERE! 
III.  Legislative section:                                                                                                                  4 pages
                            1. Legislative background of problem
                            2. Your own legislative/regulatory or communications innovation
                            3. Anticipated impact if implemented (or worsened problem if not)
IV.  Conclusion: Tie together points made about issue, & refer to implications beyond  half-1 page 
V.  References:10 2015-2020 academic, professional, & legislative refs          beyond text pages

Do not get carried away into tangential things while writing the text.  Stick to a strict structure, & follow your outline carefully, so that you do not waste time & effort on general, vague  statements, extraneous opinions, & emotional declarations you would have to cut in order for the paper to follow this sequence to be logical & clear to policymakers.

Do not string together a series of direct quotes instead of formulating your own policy perspective.  But do cite ideas & facts evincing scientific/medical/public health & legislative/policy evidence for the urgency of a policy intervention.

Tone:  This paper must have a solid medical professional/public health understanding, used to inform policymakers of an urgent problem, the insufficient ways it was already partially dealt with through legislation, regulations, & policies.  Most importantly, you have a fresh policy plan to solve it!

Please discuss the actual legislation of relevant policy info, now that you have a better understanding of how the US health care system & governmental policymaking works!

WRITE A TITLE FOCUSSED UPON YOUR POLICY INTERVENTION FOR THIS PROBLEM, NOT MERELY A TITLE or STUDY ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

*** you did the halfway paper for me. I would like if you can finish the order half. I also need a PowerPoint slide from all of your work
