Using the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELP) from Arizona or from your state, select a stage (grade level) for a group of students you define. Create a content objective and a language objective using the AZ College & Career Ready Standards and the ELA Standards for your group of ELLs at the Basic Proficiency Level for each of the following domains:

1.Listening and Speaking

2.Reading

3.Writing

Include a 500-750-word summary below the chart (within the same document) that contains rationales for each of the three domains that describes how the objectives you wrote address the characteristics of a basic ELL level and accounts for the theoretical language acquisition principles mentioned in your required reading.

In this summary, explain how content area teachers can write lesson plans in which all of the standards (ELP and content) support one another and actually provide scaffolding opportunities for students.

As explained in the syllabus, this is an assignment that requires you to choose a case material (such as a film) that is relevant to learning. In this assignment you are asked to explain the learning challenges and experiences of a particular character by applying concepts from at least three specific chapters of the textbook. It is important to apply at least three concepts from each of the three chapters (a total of at least nine specific concepts), by providing references (with page numbers) for each application of concepts (a total of at least nine references to the textbook).

Here are some of the main questions you can address in this essay (not necessarily in this order). I recommend that you provide separate sections for the following analyses:

Existing learning

– What types of learning mechanisms or processes are occurring in this case material? In other words, what is the character learning and how?

Existing challenges

– What are the major challenges that this character is facing in his adaptation to life?

Impact of the environment

– In what ways is the environment of this character influencing learning and adaptation to life? What are some of the positive and negative environmental influences?

Recommendations for improvement

– If you were a friend, a teacher, a counselor or a therapist for this character (who would ask your help), what would you recommend for him to do based on your learning in this class about the science of learning? In other words, in what specific ways can his learning and adaptation to life b

Andrew worked as a chef in medium-sized restaurants until he decided to persue his interest in health food and went to work with an obesity clinic. That was five years ago and Andrew is now ready to start his own restaurant for people at risk for obesity or just those who want to watch their calories. Though health food can fetch higher prices, Andrew has decided to keep his rates reasonable considering the socioeconomic profile of obesity sufferers and the location of his restaurant.

Andrew plans to serve only the main meals. His restaurant can seat 15 customers at a time. Both lunch and dinner will be available for two hours and a diner is expected to occupy a seat for about 1 hour. The restaurant will be open Monday through Friday of each week throughout the year except for the first two weeks of July when Andrew vacations with his family.

COST TO RUN

Average revenue, including juices (per meal)………           $   42

Average cost of the food (per meal)…………………….           $   12

Chef’s and waiters’ salaries (per year)…………………           $59,920

Rent (premises, equipment) (per month)………….             $ 4,200

Cleaning (linen and premises) (per month)……………        $ 840

Replacement of dishes, cutlery, glasses (per month)       $ 300

Utilities, advertising, telephone (per month)……………  …$ 2,000

 

Healthy Eating Trends

Obesity is a growing health concern in the U.S. As health awareness grows, people are more likely to eat health. However, Andrew’s restaurant will be the first of its kind in the area. His first concern is whether the idea will find enough takers. He accepts that he might lose money during the first few weeks, but wants to know how many people he must attract to break even.

Breakeven

The formulas are as follows:

 

Breakeven in units = Total fixed costs_______

Unit contribution margin

Unit contribution margin= Unit sales price – Variable cost per unit

= $42 – $12

= $30

The remaining cost items are considered fixed costs. The monthly cost items must be multiplied by 12 to convert them to yearly totals in order to calculate total fixed costs which amounts to $ 141,000.

Breakeven point in meals = 141,000 / 30 = 4700 meals

 

CVP Analysis

Review Decision Case 1 (Steve and Linda Hom) starting on page 984 of your text. In your initial post, answer the two case questions:

1. Compute the annual breakeven number of meals and sales revenue for the restaurant.
2. Compute the number of meals and the amount of sales revenue needed to earn operating income of $75,600 for the year.

In addition, address the following in one to two paragraphs:

1. Identify and discuss several qualitative factors that should be considered in the decision process in addition to the quantitative data already computed in the case assignment.
2. What are the potential benefits of applying CVP analysis to business decision making?
3. Provide an example of another business scenario that could benefit from CVP analysis and explain how you would apply CVP analysis in the decision-making process.

Cost ACCT

 

Q1

 

Describe the two assumptions used in cost estimation behavior. Give an example of one of the assumptions.

 

Q2

 

Question…with so much data to analyze and use, how important is precision in the collection of data? Anyone?

 

Q3

 

Hello everyone! I found the below linked article about estimating health care costs and thought it would be a good example to discuss in class! As you read this article on insurance companies’ attempt to identify costs in an effort to ease their cost estimation, think about whether the cost drivers presented are suitable or if other cost drivers would be more adequate, given the industry. Please post your thoughts:-) Anyone?

 

http://www.amednews.com/article/20120515/business/305159997/8/

 

Q4

 

Hello everyone! Let’s say that a company invests considerable time and money to develop sophisticated cost functions that rate high on all evaluative criteria. In the course of using the cost functions, a manager notes that in several instances the actual costs were different from the predicted costs, resulting in lower profits during one quarter of the year…. The question of the value of the cost function is asked. Give some suggestions on how to answer the manager! Anyone?

 

Q5

 

I am also thinking…What are the methods that could be used to estimate a cost function assuming that no historical data exists? Anyone?

 

Q6

 

Your suggestions would be benchmarking! In my opinion, this is a very under-utilized method in collecting data when no historical data exists internally 🙂 Your thoughts, anyone? Also, what other methods are listed in our readings?

 

AIS

 

Q1

 

Discuss how REA diagrams might be useful to auditors in understanding a client’s business processes. What if the client hasn’t prepared them in advance? What basic steps would the auditor perform to compile the information necessary to build the diagram him or herself? Does that time investment produce large enough benefits to the auditor? Explain your answer.

 

Q2

 

Class: Is there a difference between an Activity and an Entity? Explain your response.

 

Q3

 

Class: Using an academic organization as a model, describe an example of a MANY-to-MANY relationship.

 

Q4

 

Discuss why there cannot be one basic REA diagram that would work for all businesses. What might be some areas that could be similar from business to business? Select either the company for which you work or one that interests you. Describe the business processes that are unique to that company or industry that would require special handling in an REA diagram.

 

Q5

 

Class: Does every database table require a primary key? Explain why or why not and provide an example to support your response.

 

Q6

 

Constantly checking the AIS system is very important due to various reasons, including the need to comply with laws and regulations, and business rules. For instance, an auto apportionment (allocation) method should be reviewed to ensure that the variables (eg. store space, volume, or cost drivers for activity-based costing) have not changed. Else, there will be incorrect allocation of overheads. The database management system is part of the AIS, and it is critical for data storage and retrieval.

Class: Discuss some of the key considerations when designing a Payroll database system for a teaching hospital.
