I’m working on a management question and need guidance to help me understand better.

1(a): Which of the following are deductible, who reports the corresponding income if applicable, and why:(i) Sam and his wife were married during a whirlwind trip to Law Vegas. The day after the nuptials, they decided they had made a mistake and split, though they never file for divorce. For the last five years, Sam has been sending her a check for 1K every month to “help her out.”(ii) Same situation, but rather than sending a check each month, Sam gave his wife a credit card and pays the bill for what she spends, about 1K per month.(iii) Evaluate (i) and (ii) above if they had filed for divorce, and there was a consent decree (agreement filed with and approved by the Court) to pay spousal support. Ignore the obvious malpractice on Sam’s attorney’s part.(iv) Evaluate (i) and (ii) above if they obtained a legal separation, but decided to live together anyway.(v) Michael runs his own business. In the course of his business, he needed to organize as an S-Corporation. He hired an attorney to handle this for him and seeks to deduct the attorney fees.(vi) Michael is obviously not in the tax business, as he was audited in 2010. He hired a tax attorney to handle the audit and assist him. He seeks to deduct those fees.(vii) Fiona makes a contribution to the NRA every year. She also contributes to the Arizona Humane Society. Are either or both of these donations deductible?(viii) Madeline has 30K per year of income as well as 25K per year of investment income. There was a problem with her Medicare paperwork, and she failed to have insurance coverage in force when she slipped and broke her leg. Her medical expenses were 20K. Can she deduct those expenses?1(b): Can the Taxpayer claim the following dependent(s)? Why or why not?(i) Fiona’s niece is sixteen and has come to the U.S. from Ireland because her parents were in violent trouble. She moved in with Fiona in March and lived there throughout the year. Fiona paid for all of her expenses. Can Fiona claim her as a dependent? What if the niece’s friend stayed with Fiona too?(ii) Same as above, but Fiona received checks intermittently from her sister. Those checks totaled 17K through the year. What should Fiona do to make sure she can claim Niece as a dependent?

I’m working on a business writing question and need an explanation to help me learn.

Integrated Waveguide Technologies (IWT) is a 6-year-old company founded by Hunt Jackson and David Smithfield to exploit metamaterial plasmonic technology to develop and manufacture miniature microwave frequency directional transmitters and receivers for use in mobile Internet and communications applications. IWT’s technology, although highly advanced, is relatively inexpensive to implement, and its patented manufacturing techniques require little capital as compared to many electronics fabrication ventures. Because of the low capital requirement, Jackson and Smithfield have been able to avoid issuing new stock and thus own all of the shares. Because of the explosion in demand for its mobile Internet applications, IWT must now access outside equity capital to fund its growth, and Jackson and Smithfield have decided to take the company public. Until now, Jackson and Smithfield have paid themselves reasonable salaries but routinely reinvested all after-tax earnings in the firm, so dividend policy has not been an issue. However, before talking with potential outside investors, they must decide on a dividend policy. Your new boss at the consulting firm Flick and Associates, which has been retained to help IWT prepare for its public offering, has asked you to make a presentation to Jackson and Smithfield in which you review the theory of dividend policy and discuss the following issues.a. (1) What is meant by the term “distribution policy”? How has the mix of dividend payouts and stock repurchases changed over time?(2) The terms “irrelevance,” “dividend preference” (or “bird-in-the-hand”), and “tax effect” have been used to describe three major theories regarding the way dividend payouts affect a firm’s value. Explain these terms, and briefly describe each theory.(3) What do the three theories indicate regarding the actions management should take with respect to dividend payouts?(4) What results have empirical studies of the dividend theories produced? How does all this affect what we can tell managers about dividend payouts?b. Discuss the effects on distribution policy consistent with: (1) the signaling hypothesis (also called the information content hypothesis) and (2) the clientele effect

/in /by

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.
What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.
What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.
To Prepare:

Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
Download your Signature Theme Report to submit for this Assignment.

The Assignment (2-3 pages):
Personal Leadership Philosophies
Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following:

A description of your core values.
A personal mission/vision statement.
An analysis of your CliftonStrengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile
A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen.
A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.
Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your CliftonStrengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.

Please write a response to each of the two questions below.Question Prompt 1 (20 points): You are in the top-management team of a growing software company. You joined last month when the company had 60 employees. The company has secured more funding from investors and is preparing to scale up to nearly 500 employees over the next 18 months. What do you think is important to keep in mind as the organization prepares to grow?undefinedQuestion Prompt 2 (20 points): You were just promoted to Director of Human Resources at a global technology company that includes a popular social media platform. You work at the company’s headquarters in Silicon Valley, but the company has operations in dozens of countries across the globe. You are now responsible for the company’s people strategy. Of particular concern to top management is fostering knowledge development and maintaining coordination and cooperation across all the company’s global operations. Why is this important and how should you, as Director of HR, advance this strategic goal?Guidelines (please read carefully): Midterm Exam 2 covers Modules 5 through 8(textbook attached, please read Chapter 6,5,8,9 for the exam). While the exam is not cumulative, you may also draw from concepts from earlier modules if you like (but grading is based on application of lessons from Modules 5 through 8). Your responses should each be in 12-point font. These are not short answer questions, but you should be able to answer them in less than one single-spaced page per question (two pages for the entire exam). Grading is based on quality, not quantity. The exam must be completed individually with no collaboration or discussion with anyone else. You may use class notes, lecture slides, optional review videos, and the textbook. You may not look at or use any other source. The exam will be graded on the extent to which you (1) address the questions being asked and (2) demonstrate comprehension of course materials through the application of concepts and frameworks. I am not grading on grammar, punctuation, or writing style. However, please try to communicate your ideas as clearly as possible. Your responses should be completely in your own words. Anything not in your own words should be written in quotes (accompanied by the textbook page number, or slide number).

This assessment requires application of a nursing theory based on General Systems Theory and it’s relevance to rural health.  
Rural populations face many challenges to receiving the health care they need. Social determinants of health such as living environment, education, access to resources, etc., all influence individual and population health.Often times, when resources are available, other determinants, such as a lack of education or self-care, financial limitations, etc., continue to inhibit care.
Numerous nursing theories have developed from General Systems Theory and the idea that the “system” is made up of “subsystems” that must work collaboratively and in harmony in order to work effectively. Neuman’s Systems Model and Roy’s Adaptation Model are two of these nursing models that support the principles of General Systems Theory.
For the purpose of this assignment, we will explore Roy’s Adaptation Model and answer the following:

Identify 2 major issues faced by rural populations in meeting their health care needs.
What specific social determinants of health significantly influence these issues?
Identify and describe 3 (out of 10) explicit assumptions of Roy’s Adaptation Model.
How do these assumptions apply to rural health?
What subsystems facilitate or hinder the overall system’s ability to meet the needs of the rural population?
Describe a plan or legislative process (may be one currently under review or recently passed) for improving the “healthcare system” and the potential impact on the rural population.

Make sure you also include a clear, separate introduction and conclusion as a part of this assignment, as these are worth separate points on the grading rubric.
References
Minimum of four (4) total references: two (2) references from required course materials and two (2) peer-reviewed references. All references must be no older than five years (unless making a specific point using a seminal piece of information)
Peer-reviewed references include references from professional data bases such as PubMed or CINHAL applicable to population and practice area, along with evidence based clinical practice guidelines. Examples of unacceptable references are Wikipedia, UpToDate, Epocrates, Medscape, WebMD, hospital organizations, insurance recommendations, & secondary clinical databases.

Introduction
In the medium of photography, it is common to see sets of photos built around a theme. Some good examples of these photo series are Nan Goldin’s Ballad of Sexual Dependency, Ali Mobasser’s A Life Told with ID Photos, or Manuel Cosentino’s Behind a Little House. Below are links to familiarize you with these projects.

Instructions
In this age of the smartphone, we’re all potential photographers. For this journal, come up with a theme for a photo collection, and try to realize that collection with your own phone photos. Describe the unifying idea in a short paragraph, explaining its importance (you may be as serious as you’d like with this). Then snap photos for the collection (minimum 5), and write a brief title and description for each photo, situating it within the overarching theme you’ve selected. You might also choose to have some concluding paragraph to tie the collection together.
The point here is not to come up with award-winning photos (though that might be a fringe benefit); in fact, you’re not being graded on the quality of the photos at all. The purpose of the exercise is to see how a unifying idea can join different images together into a collection, and to explore how verbal and visual ideas interact. Have fun with this assignment, but take the project seriously for its having the potential to reveal how we understand images within broader contexts.
Once you have this project together, post the photos and text on your blog.
