Create an Excel spreadsheet that defines data elements and formats that support enterprise information management and data integration. Write a data discovery report (4-5 pages) that identifies data quality issues and recommends strategies for addressing and preventing them.Health care organizations are constantly challenged to assess data quality procedures. Data entered into information systems often contains redundant data elements, disparate data, and inconsistent definitions. Health care technology, such as an EHR system, helps to improve data quality; however, it cannot completely eliminate data quality challenges.Data can be organized to identify trends, transforming raw data into useful information. Data discovery is a detection process that involves searching for trends, patterns, or specific items in a particular data set. It can also include identifying potential data quality issues and leveraging data mining techniques. Data discovery’s goal is to analyze data from different perspectives, summarize it, and use it to meet organizational needs.In this assessment, you will investigate potential data quality issues that pose a risk to Independence Medical Center and then propose recommendations to address these issues.Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria: Competency 1: Manage data from multiple sources.Use various strategies to maintain clean data from multiple sources.Describe data quality issues when using multiple sources.Competency 3: Analyze the impacts of data warehousing.Explain data formatting issues when using and storing data from multiple sources.Competency 4: Analyze effects of database design and architecture in integrating and using various data sources.Create a spreadsheet describing data elements and formats supporting enterprise information management and data integration.Competency 5: Communicate professionally in a health care environment.Create clear, well-organized, professional documents that are generally free of errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.Follow APA formatting and style guidelines for citations and references.PreparationDo the following to prepare to successfully complete Assessment 2 on data discovery:Review the work you did in Assessment 1, as it will inform the work you do in this second assessment.Conduct independent research on clean data characteristics.

Answer Initial Discussion question 250 words. Respond to 3 classmates 250 Words each Initial Question: When reading Article I of the Constitution you learned or reviewed, about Congressional authority with regard to the Commerce Clause, the General Welfare (Spending) Clause, taxing authority, treaty power, War Powers, Article III Courts and the Necessary and Proper Clause.We could spend many weeks on just Article I, but we focused your attention on the Commerce Clause and Gonzales v Oregon.For you initial discussion post discuss:1) What was the ruling in the case and how did the Commerce Clause impact the case?2) Do you agree with the court’s ruling? Why or why not?3) Does this ruling close the door to federal regulation of of physician suicide? Should we have such regulation?Classmate 1 Rocquieh: Professor and Class,This week we had the privilege of looking into Congressional authority:What was the ruling in the case and how did the Commerce Clause impact the case?In the case Gonzales v Oregon, the attorney general believed that under the Controlled Substances Act it gave them authorization to ban the use of controlled substances for physician assisted suicide. The Court held that Congress intended the CSA to prevent doctors only from being illicit drug dealers, not to define general standards of state medical practice[1]. The Commerce Clause of the US Constitution empowers Congress to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution’ its authority to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States. The Commerce Clause impacted this case because unlike in Raich the medicinal drugs are not being grown and have the chance of being considered intrastate commerce. However, they have most likely been intrastate commerce since they are produced in a pharmaceutical plant and travel to the facility for distribution. It is all a bit confusing.Do you agree with the court’s ruling? Why or why not?As for the ruling in my opinion Justice Thomas said it best in his dissent. The majority in Gonzales v. Raich employed unambiguous language, concluding that the “manner” in which controlled substances can be utilized “for medicinal purposes” is one of the “core activities regulated by the CSA And, it described the CSA as “creating a comprehensive framework for regulating the production, distribution, and possession of … ‘controlled substances,’ including those substances that ‘have a useful and legitimate medical purpose,’ in order to foster the beneficial use of those medications and to prevent their misuse[2]. These doctors like the ones in California are using drugs for medicinal purposes to help their patient whether it is the same reasons is invalid. I believe the Court used judicial activism instead of restraint in this case. Does this ruling close the door to federal regulation of of physician suicide? Should we have such regulation?I do not believe this ruling is going to close the door to federal regulation of physician assisted suicide because as laws are changing across the country in relations to drugs such as marijuana, that will come with new rules and regulations and as we talked about in week 1 judicial activism is very present in how laws are interpreted. I believe there should be a limit to how much regulation goes into medical regulations. I know if I had a family member or even myself in a position where medicinal drugs were the only saving grace, I would not want the Court to decide that its not allowed if my doctor who is the medical professional says that is what is best.-Locke[1] Gonzales v. Oregon, Oyez, https://www.oyez.org/cases/2005/04-623 (last visited May 10, 2021).[2] Id.CClassmate 2 Adam: Greetings Classmates and welcome to my week 2 forum posting. This week we are covering another interesting case, Gonzales vs Oregon and the involvement of the Commerce Clause. There is a lot of background information here to cover before we dive head first into the questions, so lets get into it.First to give you a little background information, the Gonzales vs Oregon was essentially a challenge to a 1994 ruling where the Oregon electorate voted to legalize physician-assisted suicide under certain circumstances. The Oregon Death With Dignity Act (ODWDA) permits licensed physicians to dispense and prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to patients with incurable and irreversible diseases calculated to result in death within six months under the exercise of reasonable medical judgment. Following enactment of the ODWDA, several members of Congress advocated DEA prosecution of physicians who engaged in assisted suicide practice, arguing that even if permitted under state law, such conduct violated the Controlled Substance Act (CSA).The challenge to this in 2006 came in the form of Gonzales vs Oregon in which the Court found that the Attorney General not only lacked legal authority to regulate medical practice but concluded that, if anything, the CSA denied him the very power he claimed.Now to move on a bit, how did the Commerce Clause effect this case? Well, The Commerce Clause technically refers to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the states, and the Native American Tribal lands”.This case essentially sheds light on how the Supreme Court approaches controversies involving the exercise of power by federal agencies operating under the Commerce Clause powers. Despite the wide range of Congressional power, the Commerce Clause provides, the Court heavily scrutinizes the legal basis federal agencies try to claim using the literal claims to act. In Oregon v. Gonzales, the Court found that the Attorney General not only lacked legal authority to regulate medical practice but concluded that the CSA actually denied him power he claimedI do at the end of the day agree with the courts ruling on the case because the ruling in the opposite direction would have hit a lot of doctors with negative impacts when their literal state law allowed what they were doing. I am always in support at handling at the lowest level first, and if the state voted in support, then treat that state independently and allow the item they passed by public majority.It was essentially stated in case notes that the doctor patient relationship was determined by the lower courts to be an item that was perhaps just beyond the reach of congressional power under the Commerce Clause. In the courts view, they decided that they should not presume that federal law was intended to reach into such relationships unless that intent was clearly stated in the applicable legislation, which it was not.If my understanding is correct, this does not close the door to federal regulation of assisted suicide because Congress can still make up more specific federal law to specifically address this issue.Thank you for reading,Adam T.Classmate 3 Sherron: Good morning, In Gonzales v. Oregon, the Supreme Court addressed whether the Controlled Substance Act allowed the Attorney General to prohibit the prescription of regulated drugs for physician-assisted suicide in the face of a state law permitting such a prescription. The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) was enacted in 1970 to create a comprehensive uniform national scheme for regulating the manufacture, distribution, and dispensation of various chemicals and substances[1]. The CSA creates five schedules of controlled substances to allow each to be regulated at a different level. Initially, Congress prescribed a number of specific substances are included within the scheduling system, and delegated to the Attorney General the power, via rulemaking authority, to add substances to a schedule, transfer substances between schedules, and remove substances from a schedule[2].In 1994, the State of Oregon legalized assisted suicide when voters, through a ballot measure, approved the Oregon Death with Dignity Act (ODWDA)[3]. ODWDA exempts from civil or criminal liability physicians who dispense or prescribe a lethal dose of drugs to terminally ill patients under specific safeguards[4]. The drugs used by physicians under ODWDA, while not specified in the Act itself, are regulated under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which restricts the availability of certain drugs for medically accepted uses only[5].In Gonzales v. Oregon, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Attorney General’s Interpretive Rule was invalid because it was outside of the scope of his authority delegated by Congress. This ruling shed light on how broad the Commerce Clause is about the Constitutional power of Congress. In this case, physician-assisted suicide in Oregon did not involve the cultivation or trade of a controlled substance. The Court concluded this activity was non-economic in nature and therefore outside the reach of Congress’s Commerce Clause authority.In my opinion, the Courts handled this case properly. Congress clearly did not pass the CSA to stop physician-assisted suicide; rather, Congress passed the CSA to address the growing illicit drug problem in the United States. Thus, under this reading, the Attorney General’s actions were not permissible because he stepped outside the bounds of his authority by issuing a ruling that used the CSA to serve a function other than that for which Congress intended the legislation, an approach that finds written support in the decision. The ruling does not close the door to federal regulation of physician-assisted suicide. I believe this case opened the doors to further laws or regulations that will override the state’s laws, like the Oregon Death with Dignity Act, to prevent assisted suicide. Oregon put in many safeguards to ensure that assisted suicide was the last option. We should have a form of regulation to ensure that assisted suicide is not being abused or used as a quick fix instead of attempting palliative care.

Explain.How do visions manifest in different areas of the company (e.g., actions, processes, and so forth)?The reference of the article in correct APA 7th edition format1Dear Faizan,I would like to throw light on some instances about Mark Zuckerberg.In 2010, Facebook boss and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg began the year by announcing that privacy was no longer the “social norm”. The interpretation was that privacy was dead so get over it. The protection of privacy and personal data has been treated as an afterthought in the development of social media. It has been low on the priority list of tech whizz kids and internet entrepreneurs.But privacy goes beyond a “social norm”. It is an universal, fundamental and legal right. It is laid down firmly in national and international law, in international and European instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. Although social norms may change, human rights remain in force. We can’t rid ourselves of a human right in order to create space for modern technology.Fundamental rights are inalienable. Civil rights and freedoms are not negotiable. Rights are universal, temporary or for a select group of people. The internet age does not make fundamental rights redundant, we merely have to find new ways of applying them in practice. The right to privacy and protection of personal data is central to the exercise of other fundamental rights. The law doesn’t protect data, it protects people.Interestingly, Zuckerberg is now announcing the need for privacy to take centre stage and is assuming a veneer of accountability without any substance. He is placing the ball firmly in the hands of governments and his main message during his visit to Dublin earlier this year was that governments need to be proactive in privacy matters.So why is the Facebook CEO so intent on putting the genie back into the bottle? Has he come to the realisation that his creation is out of control and untamed – or is the newly found privacy concern a smokescreen for something else?There can be little doubt that Facebook’s monopoly over millions of people’s personal data and the flow of online news and information poses a threat to democracy. Facebook’s management has repeatedly shown that it cannot be trusted to behave responsibly. Despite promises to the contrary (on the acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram), Facebook has amalgamated these products with Facebook.Appearing before the European Parliament in May, Zuckerberg was asked if he had lost control of his company, a question he has refused to answer. Despite his appearances before both the US Congress and the European Parliament to face questions about Facebook’s business practices, questions remain unanswered. There is a lack of clarity as to the extent of Facebook’s knowledge in matters pertaining to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the extent to which foreign interference (via Facebook) contributed to the election of Donald Trump in the US and to the outcome of the Brexit referendum.Failures by MarkNot only did Facebook allow third-party companies to gather millions of user’s private data (through apps on the social network), it didn’t come clean about the extent of damage or staying ahead of the problem, always reacting to one setback from another as they trickled down throughout the year.And what about the lies? Mark Zuckerberg was forced to apologize publicly to save face, said the Cambridge Analytica scandal was from the past, that Facebook had fixed that loophole to protect user’s privacy. “We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t then we don’t deserve to serve you,” Zuckerberg said in an interview. His comments, which I have seen, came as Facebook’s stock was trading this Wednesday (March 20) on Nasdaq at 1.11pm in New York at $163.27 – up $1.70 (1.05%), implying a market capitalization of $466.03 billion. This puts it 25.3% ($55.35) lower than its 52-week high of $218.62 reached on July 25 2018, but $40.35 (24.7%) higher than its 52-week low of $123.02 witnessed on December 21 last year.2Barack ObamaThe first black President throughout the entire existence of the United States of America, Barack Obama was a very well known and an empathetic pioneer. He was regarded all around the world and his feeling of mankind and empathy wiped the slate clean to be kept up with by and large. Obama urged his staff to be open and ideate with no limits. His empathy and feeling of comprehension towards his representatives made him receptive and hence expanded the effectiveness of his whole organization generally. Barack Obama has shown throughout the span of his two terms as president various administration styles, he has demonstrated that he is a definitive transformational and charming leader. A critical component of all transformational styles is power and a leader source of power. To completely see how force works between a leader and a followership.What makes his administration so one of a kind is that, he not just needed to manage 2 conflicts, a downturn near the precarious edge of a downturn. There was additionally an inside battle from the Republicans, and much falsehood, and propaganda from the conservative media, and other traditional legislators.The aftereffects of what he achieved that no one might at any point take from him, including some that obliterates every one of the achievements of Obama, is he drove the race into killing Osama Bin Laden, however numerous other high positioning psychological militants. Finished 2 conflicts, and got the economy in the groove again. However much some like to assume acknowledgment for the roaring economy, if not for Obama we would have remained in the downturn any longer, as did the other world economies. Barack Obama made individuals all around the world realize that their voices and their predicaments made a difference. Barack Obama has been the most appreciated man on the planet for more than eight years running.Reference:https://www.quora.com/https://www.marketing91.com/transformational-leade…De Zutter, Hank (December 8, 1995). “What Makes Obama Run?”. Chicago Reader. Retrieved April 25, 2015.33 I do not have a full portfolio but I do have some parts of it. For the first step of building my professional portfolio is to gather what I have now together and to see what I still need to complete my portfolio. By looking at the course materials of how to create a professional portfolio, the parts of the portfolio I have now is my resume and some samples of my work. Two components that I think I need time and patient to work on are the letters of recommendation and professional qualifications. These two items are definitely need many time and work to build up the final result. First of all, there need to be many conversation making and relationship building to receive a recommendation letter. The way I am going to do this is to get more connection with people around me and let them to know more about my personality and woking style. Secondly, beside my college transcripts and my diploma, I can learn more and get some licenses or certificates in my free time to complete myself. I am going to plan out the things that I still need first and I will go from there.4Hi Professor.Hope you are at the best of your health and fitness!The components, I am currently working on to improve my professional portfolio are as follows:1. Networking and communication:I have actively been working on building my professional network and communication with superiors in Information technology and project management, because I feel that can help me shape up my MBA Learning along with my CPT internship. By having a conversation with people having similar background and meeting them outside for a little snacks or coffee, this way, I am not only increasing my communication skills and making new friends but also one can gain insight knowledge and journey of the other person which can help me in taking the necessary steps in my professional journey.2. Reading for knowledge and intelligence:Reading is something which I have always liked and enjoyed, I believe it is one of the best hobby one can possess, however now days basis my MBA ITM program, I have started reading professional books with regards to personal growth, communication skills and currently I am reading “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg. The reason I mentioned reading as a component I am and want to work on it, whenever I talk to any person and usually it always starts with little brief introduction about yourself and career and so on and so forth but in most cases whenever the topic reading coming out, it acts like a ice breaker and the communication and the talks just take new comfort level and then it becomes as if I have known that person since long and just catching up with him. Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry & Jean Greaves I just finished and can highly recommend reading it.3. Skill set enhancement:I am currently also searching out certification program in the US which can be aligned with my MBA in information technology and project management, for example I was looking into certification in software product development, agile & scrum master certification, Project management professional (PMP). So, before my MBA ITM is completed, I am already having the necessary certification of my enhanced skill set which can help me land a better opportunity given my recent knowledge learning and MBA in the field and can enhance my professional portfolio.Reference:Here Are 6 Helpful Tips on How You Can Build a Professional Portfolio.

Create a 1-2-page resource that will describe databases that are
relevant to EBP around a diagnosis you chose and could be used to help a
new hire nurse better engage in EBP. ksljwqjwxqjx undefinedEvidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available
to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and
quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the
best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the
practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP
generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an
effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position
but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a
good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as
identify which databases and websites are credible for the purposes of
implementing evidence-based changes in practice.undefinedDemonstration of ProficiencyundefinedBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate
your proficiency in the course competencies through the following
assessment scoring guide criteria: undefinedCompetency 1: Interpret findings from scholarly quantitative, qualitative, and outcomes research articles and studies.
Explain why the sources selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis. Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision.
Describe the best places to complete research and what types of
resources one would want to access to find pertinent information for the
diagnosis within the context of a specific health care setting. Competency 4: Plan care based on the best available evidence.
Identify five sources of online information (medical journal
databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be
used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis. Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead practice changes based on evidence.
Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to
research the diagnosis, as well as strategies to collaborate with the
nurses to access resources.Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style. undefinedProfessional ContextundefinedAs a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for
providing patient-centered, competent care based on current
evidence-based best practices. You will be required to do research,
analysis, and dissemination of best evidence to stay abreast of these
best practices. Understanding where to go to find credible sources and
locate evidence, as well as which search terms to use, is the foundation
of incorporation of best practices.undefinedScenarioundefinedYou are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical
floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally
recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an
online library where staff has access to medical research databases
(that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online
sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and
computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these
resources. (For this scenario, use the Capella University Library to
simulate the hospital’s online library.) You have given the nurses their
patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A
new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago
approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a
diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that
patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive
patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that
can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how
you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to
research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate
evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what
resources you would look for. These resources may include websites,
journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of
online information.undefinedYou may choose the diagnosis for the patient in this
scenario. Choose something you would find interesting to research or
that applies to a clinical problem you would be interested in
addressing. Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to
find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the
sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose
and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of
evidence (database, website, policy database or website, et cetera). You
are not actually completing a search and selecting
evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL
may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to
administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a
hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source
of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal
abnormality.undefinedPreparationundefinedTo help ensure you are prepared to complete this assessment, review
the following resources related to the Capella library. These resources
will provide you an overview of the types of tools, resources, and
guides available in the library. This may be useful in forming a better
understanding of the library to apply to the hypothetical situation laid
out in the scenario of this assessment.undefinedBSN Program Library Research Guide.Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences.Databases A-Z: Nursing & Health Sciences.Get Critical Search Skills.undefinedRemember, it is also appropriate to look toward databases and
resources outside of the Capella library, such as organizational
policies, professional organizations, and government health care
resources.undefinedYou are encouraged to complete the Evaluating the Credibility of
Evidence activity. This activity offers an opportunity to practice
evaluating the credibility of evidence. These skills will be necessary
to complete Assessment 1 successfully and is for your own practice and
self-assessment. Completing this activity is also a way to demonstrate
course engagement.undefinedInstructionsundefinedThe purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find
evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn
effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the
process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you
will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role,
but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing
staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and
collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research,
as well as support them through the initial evidence location
process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be
analyzed and utilized to stay current on best practices. This allows
them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient
outcomes.undefinedFor this assessment:undefinedDescribe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising
clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in
locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources
(that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et
cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to this scenario
and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to
search for evidence.Describe where you might go in the clinical setting to complete
this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research
within research databases or other online sources.undefinedBe sure to address the following in this assessment, which
correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study
the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a
distinguished score.undefinedDescribe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research
the diagnosis, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to
access resources.Describe the best places to complete research and what types of

Course Project: Corporate Consolidation ProjectOverviewThis Group Course Project is the Signature Assignment of the ACCT559 Course and is compatible with the DeVryTech path by requiring that:Students use different technologies to present key deliverables related to the Group Course Project on consolidations and it related financial statements,Students use collaboration tools to coordinate their work as a team in solving the course project, andStudents use online research methods to capture data relevant to the course project.ObjectiveThe objective of the Corporate Consolidation Project is to provide students with an in-depth, hands-on experience examining a real-world scenario. Students will address the following primary areas.Using actual financial results for the recently completed year and a set of assumptions, forecast proposed parent company financial results for the upcoming year assuming the acquisition is not attempted.Develop a set of revised, forecasted, separate financial statements for the parent company that reflect the proposed acquisition.Prepare a pro forma consolidation worksheet for the parent company and its proposed subsidiary.Perform ratio analysis based on (a) the separate financial statements and (b) the consolidated financial statements.Articulate findings, conclusions, and a recommendation in a memorandum to the chairperson of the parent company’s acquisition committee.GuidelinesThe Course Project is to be done by each student. The project is to solve a Case Study, which is listed below.There are three topics in each letter group that correspond to the three required milestones.Milestone 1: Requirement 1 – Due Week 3 (50 points)Milestone 2: Requirements 2 and 3 – Due Week 5 (100 points)Milestone 3: Requirements 4 and 5 – Due Week 6 (50 points)Each group will choose a leader to be responsible for submitting the Groups’ document(s). Members of each group use collaboration software (BBB as well as other collaboration tools like discussion boards/Google docs) to coordinate the group’s activities to complete each milestone due in Weeks 3, 5 and 6.Each member of a group should participate in the collaboration tool as selected by the group and contribute to the discussion at least six times for each milestone. Please see the grading rubric.Please submit the solution to each milestone of the course project in the assignment section of the respective week. You should create a multimedia piece (such as a narrated power point slides with at least a 2-3 minute narration summarizing your work) for your group’s solution to each milestone of the Course project Do not make it available to the class.Only one team submission is to be made; each person does not submit his or her own solution to milestones.undefinedAny communication that occurs outside collaboration tool or private discussion area on the group’s home page will not be visible to me; thus, it will not earn you points towards the individual participation component of each milestone’s grade.Although this is a group project, it is required that each team member play a meaningful role in completing each milestone. You should review the grading rubric found at the bottom of the page because it will be used to grade each submission and individual participation component of each milestone. Each team member will receive a separate grade dependent on both the submission and his or her participation. Note also that participation in the team topic does not count toward your required weekly discussion log-ins and posts, but it will count toward your individual team grade.Once you have been assigned to a group, go to the e-mail tool, and note the group number or name in the address box. If you click on the group, then Add, you will see the names of your group members in the box. Go ahead and send an e-mail to say hello to your teammates, and tell them a bit about yourself.Teams are to begin working on Milestone 1 using your team topic. Also, please let me know if you have not heard from a member of your group early in the course.Good luck and enjoy!ScenarioParent Inc. is contemplating a tender offer to acquire 80% of Subsidiary Corporation’s common stock. Subsidiary’s shares are currently quoted on the New York Stock Exchange at $85 per share. In order to have a reasonable chance of the tender offer attracting 80% of Subsidiary’s stock, Parent believes it will have to offer at least $105 per share. If the tender offer is made and is successful, the purchase will be consummated on January 1, 20X1.A typical part of the planning of a proposed business combination is the preparation of projected or pro forma consolidated financial statements. As a member of Parent’s accounting group, you have been asked to prepare the pro forma 20X1 consolidated financial statements for Parent and Subsidiary assuming that 80% of Subsidiary’s stock is acquired at a price of $105 per share. To support your computations, Martha Franklin, the chairperson of Parent’s acquisitions committee, has provided you with the projected 20X1 financial statements for Subsidiary. (The projected financial statements for Subsidiary and several other companies were prepared earlier for the acquisition committee’s use in targeting a company for acquisition.) The projected financial statements for Subsidiary for 20X1 and Parent’s actual 20X0 financial statements are presented in Table 1.AssumptionsFranklin has asked you to use the assumptions below to project Parent’s 20X1 financial statements:Sales will increase by 10% in 20X1.All sales will be on account.Accounts receivable will be 5% lower on December 31, 20X1, than on December 31, 20X0.Cost of goods sold will increase by 9% in 20X1.All purchases of merchandise will be on account.Accounts payable is expected to be $50,500 on December 31, 20X1.Inventory will be 3% higher on December 31, 20X1 than on December 31, 20X0.Straight-line depreciation is used for all fixed assets.No fixed assets will be disposed of during 20X1. The annual depreciation on existing assets is $40,000 per year.Equipment will be purchased on January 1, 20X1, for $48,000 cash. The equipment will have an estimated life of 10 years, with no salvage value.Operating expenses, other than depreciation, will increase by 14% in 20X1.All operating expenses, other than depreciation, will be paid in cash.Parent’s income tax rate is 40%, and taxes are paid in cash in four equal payments. Payments will be made on the 15th of April, June, September, and December. For simplicity, assume taxable income equals financial reporting income before taxes.Parent will continue the $2.50 per share annual cash dividend on its common stock.If the tender offer is successful, Parent will finance the acquisition by issuing $170,000 of 6% nonconvertible bonds at par on January 1, 20X1. The bonds would first pay interest on July 1, 20X1 and would pay interest semi annually thereafter each January 1 and July 1 until maturity on January 1, 20Y1.(Note: This is a 10-year bond)This business combination will be recorded using acquisition method and Parent will account for the investment using the equity method. Although most of the legal work related to the acquisition will be handled by Parent’s staff attorney, direct costs to prepare and process the tender offer will total $2,000 and will be paid in cash by Parent in 20X1.As of January 1, 20X1, all of Subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are fairly valued except for machinery with a book value of $8,000, an estimated fair value of $9,500, and a 5-year remaining useful life. Assume that straight line depreciation is used to amortize any revaluation increment.No transactions between these companies occurred prior to 20X1. Regardless of whether they combine, Parent plans to buy $50,000 of merchandise from Subsidiary in 20X1 and will have $3,600 of these purchases remaining in inventory on December 31, 20X1. In addition, Subsidiary is expected to buy $2,400 of merchandise from Parent in 20X1 and to have $495 of these purchases in inventory on December 31, 20X1. Parent and Subsidiary price their products to yield a 65% and 80% markup on cost, respectively.Parent intends to use three financial yardsticks to determine the financial attractiveness of the combination. First, Parent wishes to acquire Subsidiary Corporation only if 20X1 consolidated earnings per share will be at least as high as the earnings per share Parent would report if no combination takes place. Second, Parent will consider the proposed combination unattractive if it will cause the consolidated current ratio to fall below two to one. Third, return on average stockholders’ equity must remain above 20% for the combined entity.If the financial yardsticks described above and the nonfinancial aspects of the combination are appealing, then the tender offer will be made. On the other hand, if these objectives are not met, the acquisition will either be restructured or abandoned.Table 1Parent Inc.
