Grant Proposal – Proposed Study, Budget, and Draft Grant Proposal

This week you will write the Proposed Study and Budget sections of your Grant Proposal. The Proposed Study section will resemble a typical methods section like the one you would write in an empirical paper (except that the data have not yet been collected). In this section you will describe the study that you are proposing to conduct to test your hypothesis.

You will also write the Budget Justification section and the Budget for your grant proposal. The Budget Justification section will contain a description of your proposed budget including how grant funds will be used and justifying costs. Proposed costs must be reasonable, necessary and allocable to carry out the project’s goals and objectives.

The Budget, which will be Appendix A of your grant proposal, will follow the format of the budget in the Sample Grant Proposal Template, Appendix A . There is also a Budget Calculation spreadsheet that you can use to determine the direct and indirect costs for your proposed study.

After writing the Proposed Study, Budget Justification and Budget sections, combine them with the completed sections you have done in Weeks Two and Three (with feedback incorporated), and create the first draft of your grant proposal. Submit your draft grant proposal this week for the Week Five Grant Proposal – Peer Review assignment.

See the Grant Proposal Guidelines for detailed instructions on writing your grant proposal. See the Sample Grant Proposal Template as an example of an actual proposal and use it as a template for your grant proposal.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

portfolio project accounting for income taxes at apple inc

Option #2: Accounting for Income Taxes at Apple, Inc.

Read the following Case Study:

Hopkins, J. J. (2017). Accounting for income taxes at Apple Inc. Harvard Business Publishing.

Review Apple’s financial statements included in the Case Study, including Note 5 (Exhibit 1), and answer the following questions related to permanently reinvested earnings:

  • How much cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities do Apple shareholders really own, net of the IRS claims on this cash? In other words, if Apple liquidated these investments at the value on the balance sheet, repatriated the cash, and paid a one-time dividend, how much would shareholders receive? (Hint: Assume that all the income that Apple has earned in foreign subsidiaries has been converted into cash or investments. Also, when Apple says, “U.S. income taxes have not been provided,” it is not referring to the payment of taxes, but to the recognition of taxes from a financial reporting perspective.)
  • What effect would this transaction from Question 1 have on Apple’s reported earnings? Would it differ between the US GAAP and IFRS?
  • Alternatively, instead of distributing a dividend, Apple chose to reinvest the foreign earnings by purchasing a company domiciled outside of the United States. How much cash (net of taxes) would Apple have at its disposal for such a purpose?
  • What effect would the transaction in Question 3 have on reported earnings? Would it differ between the US GAAP and IFRS?
  • Finally, assume that Congress designated a repatriation tax holiday and allowed U.S. corporations to repatriate foreign cash without paying any U.S. income taxes on them. How would this affect Apple’s net income if it repatriated all its foreign-based cash?

Questions related to Apple’s balance sheet:

  • How much in deferred tax assets/liabilities are on Apple’s balance sheet as of 2015 and where do they appear? What is the single-largest component of these deferred taxes and from what does it result?
  • What valuation allowance did Apple record in 2015? What does this imply about Apple’s future? Would the valuation allowance differ between the US GAAP and IFRS? Explain in detail why or why not.

Questions related to Apple’s income statement:

  • If Apple paid income taxes in the US at the statutory corporate income tax rate, how much would Apple owe in U.S. income taxes in 2015? How much did Apple pay to the U.S. government in income taxes during 2015? Why are these amounts different? Hint: refer back to the module where we discussed international taxation during this course.
  • Does Apple have any uncertain tax positions? What do they imply, and what effect do these uncertain tax positions have on current income tax expense? Does the accounting for uncertain income tax positions differ between the US GAAP and IFRS? Be specific.
  • What amount of current income tax expense did Apple record in 2015? How much cash did Apple pay in taxes in 2015? Why are these amounts different?

Other questions related to Apple:

  • Expand in some level of detail what types of accounting-related cultural issues Apple might face when operating in different countries around the world, especially with regards to the combination of local country statutory financial statement and related reporting requirements compared to the US GAAP reporting requirements.
  • Apple is obviously dealing with huge amounts of investments and cash, a large amount of which is located overseas and most likely invested in foreign currencies. Based upon what you have learned in this course, what are some of the foreign-currency management techniques Apple is most likely practicing in the management of these investments and cash sitting in bank and investment accounts across the globe? Be specific.
  • Your Word document should be 8 pages in length (not including the required cover and references pages). Submissions in excess of 10 pages are permitted.
  • Format your submission according to the APA
  • You may submit an Excel file as a separate file supporting your submission. If you include Exhibits as part of your Word document supporting any quantitative calculations, include them as part of your submission.
  • Be sure to discuss and reference concepts taken from the required and recommended readings throughout the course and also your own relevant research.
  • You must include a minimum of six credible, academic, or professional references beyond the course text, required and recommended readings, or other course materials as part of your submission.
  • Review the grading rubric attached

crime mapping

/in /by

Please provide 2-3 detailed paragraphs. Use proper APA throughout. Use media piece provided please

Video: Laureate Education, Inc. (Executive Producer). (2011). Technological solutions and 21st-century crime: Crime mapping. Baltimore, MD: Author.

Crime maps display data on offenses, including the type of crime, and the locations and times the offenses occurred. One application of crime mapping is geographic profiling, a technique that uses crime maps to identify geographic areas where serial offenders are likely to reside or frequent. Suspects may be “prioritized” depending on how close they live to a high-crime area. Geographic profiling has had varying degrees of success. As with all areas of criminal profiling, there are questions about accuracy, usefulness, and biases inherent in geographic profiling. Critics say that geographic factors should be combined with a number of other contributing situational and behavioral factors beyond simply a suspect’s location on a map.

For this Discussion, review the media piece “Crime Mapping.” Consider whether or not the interrogation of the woman in the media piece was justified based on the information presented from the crime mapping.

Post by Day 4 your position on whether or not the interrogation of the woman in the media piece was justified based on the information presented from the crime mapping. Justify your response with references to the literature and Learning Resources.

prepare a briefing of a case study that involved specific biologic pathogens 1

/in /by

this is the question :Prepare a briefing of a case study that involved specific biologic pathogens. It should include details on the adversary tactic, emergency services response, and lessons learned associated with the response.

The Threat: Biological Agent.

Biological pathogens are bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic organisms that cause disease in humans,plants, and animals. Human exposure to these agents may occur through inhalation, skin (cutaneous)exposure, or ingestion of contaminated food or water. In recent years, international concern has increased about the deliberate use of certain pathogens or biological products by terrorists to influence the conduct of government or to intimidate or coerce a civilian population.

As was learned in the spring of 2003, epidemics resulting from emerging infectious diseases like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) can cause widespread civil panic and conditions similar to a bioterrorist event. Effective response to a disease outbreak (natural or intended) depends on rapid identification of the causative agent and specific diagnosis.

To enhance detection and treatment capabilities, physicians and other health professionals in acute care settings should be familiar with the clinical manifestations, diagnostic techniques, isolation precautions, treatment, and prophylaxis for likely causative agents (eg, smallpox,pneumonic plague, anthrax, viral hemorrhagic fevers). For some of these agents, delay in medical response could result in a potentially devastating number of casualties.

To mitigate such consequences, early identification and intervention are imperative. Front-line physicians must have an increased level of suspicion regarding the possible intentional use of biologic agents as well as an increased sensitivity to reporting those suspicions to public health authorities, who, in turn, must be willing to evaluate a predictable increase in false-positive reports.

Clinicians should report noticeable increases in unusual illnesses, symptom complexes, or disease patterns (even without definitive diagnosis) to public health authorities. Prompt reporting of unusual patterns of illness can allow public health officials to initiate an epidemiologic investigation earlier than would be possible if the report awaited definitive etiologic diagnosis.

Medical response efforts also require coordination and planning with emergency management agencies, law enforcement, health care facilities, and social services agencies. Health care agencies should ensure that physicians know whom to call with reports of suspicious cases and clusters of infectious diseases, and should work to build a good relationship with the local medical community.

Resource integration is absolutely necessary to establish adequate capacity to initiate rapid investigation of an outbreak, to educate the public, to begin mass distribution of antibiotics and vaccines, to ensure mass medical care, and to control public anger and fear. The following resources provide quick access to current information on preparing for a biological emergency, management of infected persons, hazard assessment, health effects, and accessing emergency assistance.

They are intended to help physicians and other health care professionals recognize signs and symptoms of potential infectious disease threats and the important need to notify appropriate authorities.

ethics case study 9

/in /by

ETHICS CASE STUDY

Scenario: John comes from a blue-collar neighborhood in an East Coast city. He has struggled to get a college degree and has attained a master’s degree in counseling. He is proud of his accomplishments, but he considers himself to be sensitive to his own background and to those who struggle with similar problems. He has moved to the West Coast and has been hired to work in a clinic in a lower-class neighborhood with a large minority population.

At the clinic John starts a group for troubled adolescents. His goal for this group are 1) to instill pride so that group members will see their present environment as an obstacle to be overcome, not suffered with; 2) to increase self-esteem and to challenge group members to fight the negativism they may encounter in their home environments; 3) to teach them to minimize their differences in terms of the larger community (e.g., he points out how some of their ways of speaking separate them from the majority culture and reinforce differences and stereotypes); and 4) to teach them how to overcome obstacles in an environment that is not supportive.

John does not work closely with other staff members and he has little to do with the families of the adolescents. He sees his the families of his group members as being too willing to accept handouts and welfare and as not being very interested in becoming self-sufficient and independent. He tell his group members “What you have in this group is the opportunity to change and have that change appreciated by others.”

Directions: Each step of the outline of the eight step model below needs to be addressed. The eight-step model format outlined below (i.e., Outline: Eight-Step Ethical Decision-Making Model) is a modification of the problem-solving model proposed on pages 24 to 26 of the course textbook. Answers to the ethics case study should be identified under the headings indicated in the bold italics; type face.The “bullet points’ must be full sentences that communicate your answer clearly and succinctly.

The response to the ethics case study will generally follow APA format. The paper should have one inch margins and page numbers with an abbreviated running head.
