Elrond’s Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $480,000 is estimated to result in $205,000 in annual pre-tax cost savings. The press falls in CCA Class 43, with a 30 percent rate, and it will have a salvage value of $55,000 at the end of the project. Elrond will have other assets left in that asset class when the project is completed. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $21,000, along with an additional $3,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop’s tax rate is 34 percent and its discount rate is 15 percent, should Elrond buy and install the machine press?

Case Study-Training Assessment

Case Study-Training Assessment
Assignment 2: Case Study—Training Assessment
Training assessment is an important task for HR personnel. Use the Argosy University online library and textbooks to read about training assessments.
Then, consider the following scenario:
You have recently been appointed as a training manager for the southeast region of a major supermarket chain in the U.S. Your territory includes 15 retail stores. Your responsibility involves working directly with store managers and other stakeholders to develop training solutions to meet specific needs of employees in various stores. This includes, but is not limited to, performing needs assessments, determining appropriate instructional design and training delivery methods, as well as implementing and evaluating training initiatives.
Three of the stores in your territory have missed sales goals for the last two quarters. All three stores have received low customer satisfaction scores and are experiencing increased employee turnover rates. The high employee turnover has resulted in the store managers hiring many new and relatively inexperienced sales associates, which further contributes to the problem.
The senior management team of the supermarket chain believes that training and development may help decrease employee turnover and increase customer satisfaction. You have been asked to assess training needs and develop a proposal to address the situation in these three stores.
Instructions:
Use scholarly resources and your learning, address the following:
Identify, using simple heuristics, the indicators that show that the specific problems experienced by the three stores can be resolved through training.
Design a needs assessment plan and identify three specific training initiatives you would recommend for these employees. Include the expected outcomes for the three training initiatives in your proposal.
Select one of the specific training initiatives you identified and develop a budget of projected costs to implement this initiative.
Write a seven-to-nine-page training proposal in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

ETHNOGRAPHIC FOR SOCIOLOGY CLASS

ETHNOGRAPHIC FOR SOCIOLOGY CLASS
Conduct a participant observation (ethnographic study) wherein you study through participation in a particular cross- cultural group event or social organizational meeting. Samples of events may include a visit to a religious group other than the one you usually attend, hanging out at a greasy spoon café or coffee shop and observing tipping behavior, attending a cross-cultural sporting event (e.g. if you are American, perhaps soccer but NOT American football or baseball), or volunteering with an organization that serves a cultural population somehow different than your own. To complete the assignment paper, first consider what cultural norms may be different from your own and discuss them in writing. Then, participate in the event, writing down your observations, noting any patterns you observe, and pointing out any observations or patterns that particularly surprise you. Why are they surprising to you? What might be the purpose(s) behind the perceived difference? Throughout your paper, you should reflect on your own cultural identity compared to the group being observed. Additionally, you should apply Sociological theory in an attempt to explain multicultural and global diversity.

Instruction:

between 1.5 and 2 pages in length (typed, double spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins).

Respond to Discussion Question

Respond to Discussion Question

Respond to at least one of your colleagues’ post and determine whether you are able to understand the “whole picture” of the data or understand the data in its entirety. What might you add to their display and why? What might you change to their display and why?

Data Presentation

For data presentation, I have chosen the variable “labor force status’. Being a categorical data, the labor force status of respondents was presented using bar graph and pie chart.

Based on Figure 1, the bar of “working full time” group is the highest implying there are more people working full time than any other status. Next to working full time group is the ‘retired” group while the least is the “temp not working” group.

Figure 1. Bar graph showing the frequency of each category of labor force status.

Figure 2 presented the labor force status using pie chart. Based on the pie chart, less than 50% of the respondents are working full time. This is a significant observation which is not captured in bar chart (Figure 1). Only about 60% are recorded to be full time or part time workers.

The labor force status is presented in two different ways and it’s interesting to note the information we could get from each type of data presentation.
