Drug Use in the College and Work Environment.

/in /by

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Drug Use in the College and Work Environment. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Even though statistics implore that marijuana, use may increase the risk of academic and performance problems, in the business world, Steve Jobs and Carl Sagan and many hosts of others have never had academic problems or lapse in their enterprise despite their use of marijuana (Flowers 98). Whether smoking marijuana and taking beer brings irresponsibility in someone, is a theorem that should not apply to discriminate those who are on the positive side of it.

According to one of the students in Preston college, marijuana smoker (Jonny Green), smoking weed makes a student languish in memory as a stereotype. His perception towards that notion is that this was the biggest pet peeves he had to deal with. Many of the college mates could always presume that they were more intelligent than he could manage. His example serves to exonerate weed smokers that in the workplace, college students can as well be successful (Flowers 95). This allegation, of him being less intelligent, arose simply because he continuously smoked throughout his course time in college. On the side of the colleagues, the fact that they did not smoke marijuana made them more intelligent (Gardner, John, Jeweler, and Betsy 167). One would want to refute this claim from the colleagues since as much as one has never smoked weed, that may not be a universal observation that all and sundry are intelligent. What comes to those who are less intelligent and they have neither seen nor smoked weed? The same aspect arises in Jonny’s case study and his history of smoking weed. This may not serve as a conclusion that all who have smoked marijuana during their school days have graduated as the most intelligent (Malone 88). A college student, who manages to successfully scale the ladders of his studies and pass with a high mark, should still faceless restriction as to his use of marijuana or alcohol in his business world. Like the earlier proposition, personality influences a lot, the idea of drugs taking (Trevouledes 107).

Read the following scenario and complete the questions and tasks below.

Brad Winston is the owner and operator of Fishing Unlimited, a charter fishing business operated out of Oregon Inlet, NC. Brad has been taking groups of guests offshore to fish for tuna and marlin for over 15 years. He purchased his current fishing boat when he started the business, but now believes that a larger and better outfitted vessel would allow him to increase the rate he charges per charter. Currently he can carry a maximum of 6 guests while the larger boat will carry up to 8. The larger boat would also require him to take 2 deck hands on each outing, providing better service to his customers. Cost data for Brad’s business is shown in the table below.

Fishing UnlimitedAnnual straight-line depreciation on boat $   8,300

($175,000 original cost – $90,000 estimated resale value/20 years)

Fuel Cost (per hour) $        50Insurance Premium (annual) $   1,900Maintenance and Repairs (annual) $   3,500Fishing Tackle and Gear (original cost) $   7,000Tackle and Bait (per guest) $      20Deck Hand wages (per hour) $        20Dock Fees (annual) $   2,400Captain’s License (annual) $      200Food and Beverages (per guest) $        25Professional Fees (per year) $      750Dock Utilities (annual) $   1,200

Brad has someone interested in purchasing his existing boat for $80,000. He could use this cash as a deposit on the new boat which will cost him $225,000.  His banker estimates the payments on the new boat will be about $1,500. The new boat is more fuel efficient and he believes he can cut his fuel costs by 10% but the more expensive boat will increase his insurance premium by 12%. He is also concerned that he will have to change to a larger boat slip which would increase his dock fees by 5%. The good thing about the new boat is that he should save on maintenance and repairs, at least for the first 3 years. The only other expense Brad would incur with the new boat is adding some additional fishing tackle and gear to accommodate larger parties that he estimates would cost him about $1,500.

His fees for both the old and the new boat are as follows:

Old BoatNew Boat4 hours $      550 $      6006 hours $      650 $      700Full Day (9 hours) $   1,100 $   1,200 

Questions:

  1. Which costs are relevant to Brad’s decision to purchase a new, larger boat?
  2. If Brad decides to purchase a larger boat, what costs will be affected by this decision? Will they increase or decrease?
  3. Identify any unavoidable costs associated with the operation of Fishing Unlimited.
  4. Calculate the revenue generated by a 6-hour trip with the old boat (6 guests) and the new boat (8 guests) and compare the two figures. Identify the costs that changed. What conclusion can you draw based on your analysis?

Hint: Your best first step will be to list the current costs and then make adjustments for a list of new costs with the new boat. I suggest doing the side by site analysis in word or excel. Take your time. this is not hard but it is a process with no short cuts

Discussion on Actual Data of Performance.

/in /by

I will pay for the following article Actual Data of Performance. The work is to be 2 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Management position also requires a good performance profile, which removes non-fact based opinions. It is wise to avoid personal bias by using performance profiles to be aware of characters that have been proven by scientists to make employees satisfied. The other thing is by staying current. Good performance profiles are made by using the recent performance of your employees. Taking note of the current performance of employees is a good tool when developing performance profiles. The other important aspect is developing a performance profile that maximizes odds. Making use of performance profiles enables one easily to hire people who will be productive and stay longer in your firm (Uttaro, Paras. 4- 6).

After school, accountancy will be the career of choice. The job requires knowledge in preparing financial statements. It also requires a commitment, speed, and accuracy, and you need to have computer skills especially in Microsoft Excel. The best performance profile for the accounting job that will lead to effective performance can be seen below. First is to prepare a comprehensive plan to achieve accounting objectives with a distinct period that you want to accomplish. Secondly, one should conduct a comprehensive operational review. Work with other financial accountants and assess all aspects of the company’s operating performance. Develop a plan of action to deal with each of the issues. The other thing is to address operational issues. If the company is underperforming, you need to have a group of people to execute the task and solve pertinent issues. Another thing is to evaluate the financial strength of the company. You need to review all the historical financial data, budgets, and forecasts. Evaluate critical areas of concern and determine new ways to improve performance (Uttaro, Para 8).

Considering the accountancy career goals, which are to improve performance at the workplace and to develop a career, a performance profile will be developed as stated below. First is to prepare a comprehensive plan that defines success to achieve personal objectives. Secondly is to develop a plan of action to deal with daily issues and future issues that may arise. It should be a plan that lacks personal biases to achieve expected results. Finally, you need to develop a plan that will pave the way for conducting a comprehensive operational review. Using a performance profile that includes these steps can improve your performance at whatever position the person is placed (Uttaro, Para 8).
