Write a 3-4 page paper in which you:

1. Compare and contrast features and costs of at least two (2) programs that can be used to recover deleted files.  Include the success rates and specific functions each program offers.
2. Specify the costs associated with purchasing two (2) tools that can be used to gather digital evidence from a cell phone.  Include specific hardware or additional devices that will be required.
3. Identify hourly costs associated with specific certified computer experts that can be used for forensics purposes and suggest a certified computer professional, you think, would be effective for a court case.
4. Summarize a current event article based on how an expert’s deposition helped the case at trial.  Include specifics on how the deposition was delivered and what was done to ensure that it was provided truthfully and concisely.
5. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Evaluate and explain the various methods of computer forensics and evidentiary gathering techniques.
• Describe the process of litigation and expert reports.
• Describe depositions and trial evidence.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in the investigation of computer crime.
• Write clearly and concisely about computer crime investigation topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

1) In Mad in America, Robert Whitaker argues that the treatment of mental illness is a “prism through which to view a society.” Put another way, he suggests, “Medical treatments for the severely mentally ill inevitably reflect the societal and philosophical values of the day (xv).” For this essay, please compare and contrast the dominant paradigm of mental illness treatment in two historical periods discussed in the book. You should consider: the underlying assumptions about the causes of mental illness; the prevailing treatment(s) of the day; how the mentally ill were regarded; and then describe what this tells us about that particular society at that particular time.

2) At the heart of Whitaker’s study is a question: Why do people with mental illness in the United States fare less well than people in poorer countries? Use Mad in America, as well as the other texts for our class, to address this question. Ask yourself, why might this be the case? What are the social, cultural and economic features of U.S. society that contribute to this situation? You may want to focus on the three or four most significant factors and explain how they all contribute to this situation.

3) Utilizing Karp’s “In Sickness and in Health” and one other reading from Voices from the Inside, compare and contrast caring for a family member with a physical illness to caring for a family member with a mental illness. In what ways are they similar, in what ways are they different? What accounts for the differences? What factors to social perceptions play? Do these differences matter, why or why not? Explain.

4) Karp and Sisson write, “I believe that one of the most important missions of sociology is to give voice…to the experiences of those whose voices and experiences would typically otherwise be blunted, marginalized…or simply ignored. If we want to understand how society works…we need particularly to listen well to the narratives of those who are too often powerless, marginalized, disenfranchised, and stigmatized (p. 4).” What do the narratives presented in Voices From the Inside tell us about how society works? Utilizing at least two selections from the book, please identify and discuss at least two different lessons these narratives tell us about how society works regarding mental health and illness.

In general, the responses will be evaluated as follows:

1) Each response should be written in an essay format (introduction, body and conclusion-writing matters!).

2) Incorporation of specific examples from the relevant texts (you should demonstrate that you have a solid grasp of the material by drawing on the texts to support your claim, argument or analysis). If you pull an exact quote from one of our readings, you must include the author’s last name, year of publication and page number. For example: “As in prisons, the attendants’ main job was to maintain order…” (Whitaker, 2010:69).

3) Completeness of response (be sure to answer all aspects of each question).

4) Each response should be 1-2 pages.

This exercise is due by 11pm on Wednesday 12/16. Please email your assignment as a Word attachment via our class Blackboard email system.

Small Business Service and Retail Creation Project Description Business Plan – Term Project Background: The vast majority of all businesses (roughly of 90%) are owner managed. These businesses are started with owner capital and when financing is required it is typically acquired in the form of debt. A major source of this debt financing to businesses is from commercial banks. Banks are heavily regulated with a limited upside profit opportunity. Additionally, bankers have a fiduciary responsibility to minimize risk for their shareholders. Therefore bankers tend to be risk adverse lenders. In order to minimize risk, as part of a loan application, bankers typically require a business plan. As bankers are risk adverse, the plan that a banker desires is in many ways the most detailed and comprehensive of all business plans written. Virtually every aspect of the business, its operations, marketing and finances must be explored, understood and discussed in the business plan being submitted to a bank. As the business plans required for a bank is perhaps the most comprehensive, complete and detailed of all types of business plans written, they are perhaps the best to learn how to write. When you are able to write a comprehensive and detailed plan that a banker would find acceptable, you can write any other derivative plan desired. ENTR 4503 – Project Description E Clark Term Project This course covers the wide range of issues surrounding the creation and financing of an owner operated and managed business in the service, retail or small manufacturing sectors. The topics include developing a business plan (financing package), strategy development for the small business, sales forecasting, pro forma development, debt financing, and service development. The course format is structured around the components of a business plan that would be used to obtain debt financing. The final project for the course is a complete business plan that would be suitable for obtaining debt financing from a traditional lending institution. The purpose of this project is to create as “real†of a business startup and plan as possible. The business plan will be graded based on structural content as well as conceptual content. Structural content includes completeness and degree of thoroughness. Structural content includes connections between text and financials. For example marketing is essential for a small business and expected. A discussion of your marketing activities is therefore expected in the text and the associated costs should be included in the financial statements. Conceptual content relates to the degree of appropriateness of your actions for your business idea and operations. Conceptual content considers what you are trying to do and the relationship to your proposed activities. For example, are your actions and investments appropriate for your business idea? Given the scope of the project, time available, and experience; the goal of the project is not to create necessarily a “bank ready†business plan, but rather a plan that is appropriate and accurate as a learning experience. We are looking for accuracy in the structural content of the plan, combined with a level of conceptual content that is appropriate and meaningful to provide a valuable learning experience. ENTR 4503 – Project Description E Clark THE PROJECT: The purpose of this project is to create as “real†of a business plan as possible. Use the following criteria for the project unless agreed to in advance: • You are going to start a small owner operated retail, service or light mfg business (no franchises or acquisitions). • 35% of the necessary startup cost of the business will be owner contributed equity. (Assume that you have personal funds available to finance 35% of the startup cost.) • 65% of the startup cost of the business shall be financed through debt. • The maximum start-up funding required is $1,500,000. • No real estate will be purchased (lease or rent). • Operating costs (negative cash-flow) will be financed via short-term loans. • The business is expected to provide a reasonable annual income to the owner ($75,000). • You are writing the business plan for a client. o You do not need to elaborate on the client, their background, finances, etc. o You do not need to have team members in the business or have industry experience. o Team members working on the project do not need to be employed in the business. • Use real data where appropriate and possible. The purpose of this project is to create as “real†of a plan as possible. Real data must be used wherever possible, particularly for issues that are deemed to be strategic. For example, if location is a key factor for success, then a suitable location must be found. • Please see me if there are problems obtaining information. It will be assumed that all data in the business plan is actual market/industry data unless otherwise approved. The following are required for the project: • Use the Business Plan Template provided in class. Required • Use the Financial Statements Templates provided in class. Required • Financial Statements will conform to the provided templates. Required • You will have long-term and short-term financing requirements. Required • The business will be cash-flow negative during a start-up period Required • Short term financing (line of credit) will be used, monthly as necessary, to cover cash-flow negative operational expenses during start-up period. Required • You will have depreciable assets. Required • Text – 12 font Times New Roman 1.5 spacing, standard margins. Required • All written assignments are to be submitted via “Turn-it-in†by 5:30 p.m. on the assigned due date. ENTR 4503 – Project Description E Clark Presentation: • 20 minutes max: 15 minutes allotted for presentation max. 5 minutes allotted for questions max. • Provide a copy of the slides, (2 slides per page) prior to the presentation. Business Plan Due: Last day of class Business plans will be graded based on structural content, as well as conceptual content. GENERAL COMMENTS • Creating a business plan requires discipline and initiative. • Don’t wait until the last minute, it won’t work well here. • Feedback is often more valuable when provided in-person. You have the opportunity to ask questions and information can be provided in greater detail. • Take responsibility to seek feedback about assignments. Ask questions. • Seek feedback regarding the structural components of your plan. • Seek feedback regarding the conceptual content of your plan. • If you have questions; ask them. Try to be specific; work to identify what you need. • Drafts and assignments are due by 5:30 via “Turn-it-in†on the assigned dates. Comments on Business Plan Assignments, Drafts and Feedback Writing a Business Plan is a process of discovery. Worksheets and draft Business Plan are often based on incomplete data and assumptions. As you go through the development of your business plan you will acquire new, better and more complete information. When you do, you may validate assumptions or you may find you need to change the plan. Therefore, until the final Business Plan is submitted associated assignments should be considered as “works in progress†. Seek feedback regarding the development of your business plan. As we will spend a significant amount of time in class discussing what should be included in the business plan it is repetitive to write down what was discussed in class and in the materials. Take the initiative and responsibility to ask questions regarding the development of your business plan. If you need help in the process of writing your plan, or if you need support in the development of your plan; ask for it.ÂÂ

Select an assessment from Chemical Dependency: A Systems Approach with faculty approval and administer the instrument to someone you know who drinks, uses drugs, or both.

Provide an analysis regarding the following:

• Identify what assessment was used.
• Did you find the assessment useful?
• What additional questions might need to be asked to accommodate particular special populations?
• Include a summary of findings and a recommendation for treatment options.
• Do not disclose the interviewee’s identity in your analysis.
• Include peer-reviewed research as support for your answer.

As a financial consultant, you have contracted with Wheel Industries to evaluate their procedures involving the evaluation of long term investment opportunities.  You have agreed to provide a detailed report illustrating the use of several techniques for evaluating capital projects including the weighted average cost of capital to the firm, the anticipated cash flows for the projects, and the methods used for project selection.  In addition, you have been asked to evaluate two projects, incorporating risk into the calculations.

You have also agreed to provide an 8-10 page report, in good form, with detailed explanation of your methodology, findings, and recommendations.

Company Information

Wheel Industries is considering a three-year expansion project, Project A.  The project requires an initial investment of $1.5 million. The project will use the straight-line depreciation method. The project has no salvage value. It is estimated that the project will generate additional revenues of $1.2 million per year before tax and has additional annual costs of $600,000.  The Marginal Tax rate is 35%.

Required:

1. Wheel has just paid a dividend of $2.50 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of six percent per year forever. If the stock is currently selling for $50 per share with a 10% flotation cost, what is the cost of new equity for the firm? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of financing for the firm?
2. The firm is considering using debt in its capital structure. If the market rate of 5% is appropriate for debt of this kind, what is the after tax cost of debt for the company? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of financing for the firm?
3. The firm has decided on a capital structure consisting of 30% debt and 70% new common stock. Calculate the WACC and explain how it is used in the capital budgeting process.
4. Calculate the after tax cash flows for the project for each year. Explain the methods used in your calculations.
5. If the discount rate were 6 percent calculate the NPV of the project. Is this an economically acceptable project to undertake? Why or why not?
6. Now calculate the IRR for the project. Is this an acceptable project? Why or why not? Is there a conflict between your answer to part C? Explain why or why not?

Wheel has two other possible investment opportunities, which are mutually exclusive, and independent of Investment A above.  Both investments will cost $120,000 and have a life of 6 years. The after tax cash flows are expected to be the same over the six year life for both projects, and the probabilities for each year’s after tax cash flow is given in the table below.

7. What is the expected value of each project’s annual after tax cash flow? Justify your answers and identify any conflicts between the IRR and the NPV and explain why these conflicts may occur.
8. Assuming that the appropriate discount rate for projects of this risk level is 8%, what is the risk-adjusted NPV for each project? Which project, if either, should be selected? Justify your conclusions.
