You work as a financial analyst at a large automobile corporation that occasionally makes acquisitions of smaller companies that specialize in the production and assembly of small component parts. In order to achieve vertical integration of its newest sports sedan model, the company is evaluating a few manufacturing companies that have experienced strong financial performance in the past few years. These companies would make excellent acquisitions due to the nature and quality of the product and the anticipated ease of transition. You have been tasked to evaluate these companies from a financial perspective and choose one. To do this, you need to brush up on a few concepts by addressing the following topics:

Describe what a crediting rate/score is. Should this be a factor in evaluating companies?
The firm will need to raise funds immediately for the acquisition, and debt will be used. Should the firm borrow on a long-term or short-term basis? Why?
Explain the effect, if any, inflation rates will have on the purchase? How significant is this factor?
Define the relationship between yield curves and the term structure of interest rates.
Explain what would happen to interest rates if a new process was developed that allowed automobiles to run off oil that was formulated based on lemonade? The technology used to convert this liquid to gas would be pricey but well worth it. What impact would this technology have on interest rates?
Discuss what ratios should be used to assess the financial health of the potential acquisition?

Please respond to one of the following options by starting a new thread. Be sure to include the number of the option you are addressing. 
1) Explore two disparities that are particular to rural populations (explored p. 232 ff in your Winters text).  What can nurses do to mitigate the impact of these disparities? Note: although it is very important that nurses are active politically, you will not earn credit for answers such as ‘secure more funding’; ‘increase the number of providers’; etc. for this discussion.  I am looking for things that nurses can do without lots of extra funding.  Then,   what can nursing do to promote health in these situations? Please integrate the Code of Ethics for Nurses into your post.
2) Explore something from one of the CDC websites listed in the reading assignment as it relates to rural health disparities. What can nurses do to mitigate the impact of this disparity? Note: although it is very important that nurses are active politically, you will not earn credit for answers such as ‘secure more funding’; ‘increase the number of providers’; ‘increase telehealth’; etc. for this discussion.  I am looking for things that nurses can do without lots of extra funding.  Then, what can nursing do to promote health in these situations? Please integrate the Code of Ethics for Nurses into your post.
3) Explore access to care more fully.  Be sure to include the three steps of access found at https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/Access-to-Health-Services    How do does access relate to the Rural Nursing Theory concepts of isolation/distance and old timer/new comer? Then, what can nursing do to promote health in these situations? Please integrate the Code of Ethics for Nurses into your post.

I’m working on a writing question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.

Write a routine email requesting more information from the representative of a business software training company you met at a recent business conference. The goal is to refresh the person’s memory about your conversation and request additional information about their products and services. In this instance you will position yourself as the CEO, president, or manager of the company. Your company should be framed as a fictitious company, not a real company or one that you are currently working for, and should relate to your area of concentration and career interest(s), For example, if you are interested in marketing your company might be a marketing agency. If you are interested in accounting, your company might be an accounting firm, if you are interested in finance, your company might be a financial investment company, etc. Please note: It is likely that you will need to do a little research on the type of services offered by business software training companies, for example, lynda.com. Be sure that the information you are requesting makes sense for the type of company you are representing..
Please include the following content:
A Salutation
An introduction that refreshes the person’s memory as to who you are, what you do, how you met, and why you are contacting them.
Body Paragraph. Ask for very specific information about their product or services relative to your company’s needs and let them know your time line for implementation (when would you like to have the product/service in place).
Closing. In closing, show your appreciation for their attention to the matter and give them a specific time limit for responding to your request for information.

Now that you’ve had the chance to learn about and review the building blocks of effective communication (Audience Analysis, grammar, and intention/perception), let’s practice. 1. Choose a company that are familiar with (a current or former employer is suggested), and review one of their social media feeds. 2. Choose a social media post made by the company and evaluate it for the effective use of Audience Analysis as well as grammar.Address the different elements of Audience Analysis: Did the company use the correct medium (social media platform/photo/video/text only) to convey their message? If not, what medium would have been better?Is the style (direct/indirect) of the message clear? Is it appropriate for the message’s intention?What voice is used primarily in the message? Is it appropriate for the message’s intention? Could a different predominate voice have done a better job conveying intention?What is the overall tone of the message? How is this conveyed to the audience? Finally, consider the use of grammar.Is it appropriate for the post?Should the grammar have been more or less formal?Is missing or incorrect grammar negatively affecting the message’s intended purpose?3. Citation. Provide the correct APA 7th edition citation for the social media post. NOTE: There are specific formats for citing different types of social media posts (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.). Please consult a citation helper (not generator) for assistance. I like Owl Purdue. When making your replies to others, consider their comments on the elements of Audience Analysis and grammar as well as their citation. Other comments about the company’s social media post, their social media feed, and/or general communication are great additions to your peer replies.
