Unit vi research paper draft 2

Unit VI Research Paper Draft 2
Purpose:The purpose of the second draft is to build upon the first draft that you have already written and to move your drafting process forward so that you can add a body, conclusion, and abstract to the paper, making it a cohesive and whole academic paper.Description:In this assignment, you will take Draft 1 (review of literature), written in Unit IV, and write an introduction to your final Research Paper that sets the context for your project, establishes your argument, asserts your thesis, and allows for an easy transition from your review of literature. Your introduction alone should be between 250-350 words. If the introduction alone is less than this word count, it is likely you have not fully developed your introduction, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment. Your Draft 2 should include the elements listed below.Elements:The grade of your second draft is largely based on your inclusion of these elements and the overall quality of your writing. For assistance, you may want to refer to the examples in Chapter 23, Section 23a, of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers (pp. 507-509). Your Draft 2 must contain the following elements.
1. Cover page and APA formatting:You should include an APA-style cover page for your Research Paper Draft 2. See the example on p. 33 of The APA Style of Documentation: A Pocket Guide. Your cover page should include the following: the title of your paper, your name, the title of the course, your professor’s name, and the date of submission (with the month, date, and year). The running head should contain a portion of the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.The second page of your paper should contain a title block in the upper left-hand corner that includes the following: your name, your professor’s name, the title of the course, and the date of submission. The title of the paper should be repeated again after this title block, centered with no underlining or font size change.
2. Introduction:Draft and revise an introduction between 250-350 words to come before your revised review of literature. There are some pitfalls to writing an introductory paragraph, and you can avoid some of them by reading through the Checklist: “Avoid Certain Mistakes in the Introduction” on p. 495 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers.
3. Review of literature:Using the comments that you received on your Draft 1, revise your review of literature, and include it with Draft 2.EH 1020, English Composition II 11
4. References:Include a references list as the last page of the paper. See the example on p. 40 of The APA Style of Documentation: A Pocket Guide. There is an additional example on p. 525 of The Little, Brown Compact Handbook with Exercises, which includes explicit directions on formatting the references list.

Module 1 SLP
Present Value and the Risk/Return Trade-Off
For the SLP this session, you will be taking a close look at a company of your choice. You are free to choose any company you want as long as it is publicly traded on one of the major stock market exchanges such as NYSE or NASDAQ. This could be a company that you personally are interested in investing in, or a company whose product you buy, or one that you’ve read about in the news recently and would like to know more about. Do some research on this company, including recent articles. Also, look up the company on Google Finance. This will give you a wealth of information including stock prices over the last month, year, five years, etc., along with other information such as the beta or whether or not the company is profitable.
Once you have chosen a company and have done some initial research on it, write a 2- to 3-page paper discussing the following items:

Give a brief description of the company and why you find it interesting.
What is the beta of this company’s stock? Based on the magnitude of the beta, do you think it is low risk, high risk, or somewhere in between?
Now look at recent stock price movements. What is the highest price the stock has been over the last year? The lowest price over the last year? Look at the five-year pattern as well. Based on what you see, what does this tell you about the riskiness of the stock?
Look at some other companies in the same industry as your chosen company. How do they compare in terms of beta and other measures of riskiness? Would you prefer to invest in your chosen company, or do some of its competitors seem like a better bet?

Financial accounting assignment | Business Finance homework help

In this assignment, you need to review and provide answers to the questions related to the financial summary of Aigrette, Inc. for the quarter.
This Weeks Scenario:
It’s Monday morning and time for the weekly management meeting. Mr. Morton goes over some personnel issues with the management group and he has you review the financial summary for the quarter. The meeting goes well, and as the other managers head back to their offices, Mr. Morton asks you to stay for a few minutes.
“I’m really pleased with your progress,” he says. “I think we are almost ready for the auditors. I was going through the notes Sofia left with me, and I found one last note that we need to address. Sofia said we would need to disclose some information about our segments. I guess she meant the two divisions we have. Anyway, she drafted the comments she thought we would need to include. You can look them over and see if they look okay.”
“Sounds good,” you respond as he hands you the note. “I’ll start on that this morning.”
“Great! Just send me a memo and a copy of any changes you think need to be made. One other thing,” he says. “At lunch the other day the auditors mentioned they would need to look at our quality of earnings. I just nodded, but I have no idea what they were talking about! How can earnings be anything but good?”
“I know exactly what they mean,” you respond. “I’ll be glad to explain it to you.”
“Oh, I don’t have time right now!” Mr. Morton exclaims. “Just put it in the memo.”
You head back to your office to read Sofia’s note.
Barry: I know the auditors will want some information about our divisions for the financial statements this year, so here they are. This should be all they need to know. S. Koffler
Aigrette, Inc. Division Discussion
Aigrette, Inc. operates two divisions—a car division and a sport utility division. The car division is our primary focus and generates about 75 percent of the net income of the company. The plant that produces cars is located in Hennepin, Illinois, and the SUV division is in Brownstown, Illinois. The SUV plant is smaller than the auto plant because it produces fewer vehicles.
This Weeks Tasks:
Your memo to Mr. Morton should be double-spaced and three- to four-pages long. It should also include a discussion of the required segment disclosures, along with an explanation and evaluation of Aigrette’s quality of earnings. Use the financial statements from last week for your discussion.

Msp432 microcontroller | Computer Science homework help

Any body familair with MSP432 microcontoller (luanchpad) with CCS software?
Lab 1 Digital Logic Implemented on a Microcontroller
Preparation
Download, load into CCS, and run these five projects:
GPIO_MSP432asm Simple output
InputOutput_MSP432asm More complex with inputs and outputs
Squarewaves_MSP432asm Output to two pins
SSR_MSP432asm Output to one pin
Switch_MSP432asm Simple input from a switch and output to an LED
Watch the related video(s) here
Purpose
The  general purpose of this lab is to familiarize you with the software  development. You will learn how to perform digital I/O on parallel ports  of the MSP432. Software skills you will learn include port  initialization, logic operations, and unconditional branching.
Procedure
The basic approach to this lab will be to develop and debug your system on the LaunchPad.
Find  the five example projects listed above. Compile, download and run all  five projects on your LaunchPad and choose the one that best matches the  problem. These four example project codes show the basic template for  the first few labs. Make a copy of one that projects and rename it Lab  1. You will not need global variables in this lab.
Write a  flowchart for this program (see eq.(1)). I expect 5 to 15 symbols in the  flow chart. Put this in Part 3.a of the lab report (see the template  document).
Write pseudo code for this program (see eq.(1)). I  expect 5 to 10 steps in the pseudo code. You may use any syntax you  wish, but the algorithm should be clear. Put this in Part 3.b of the lab  report (see the template document).
You will write assembly code  (see eq.(1)) that inputs from P1.1 and P1.4, and outputs to P1.0. If  eq.(1) is true, then the red LED should be on. Otherwise, the LED should  be off (see this video to see how it should work). Put this in Part 4  of the lab report (see the template document).
P1.0 = (not(P1.1)) and (not(P1.4))
(1)
Demonstration
During  the demonstration, you will be asked to run your program to verify  proper operation. You should be able to single step your program and  explain what your program is doing and why. You need to know how to set  and clear breakpoints.  You should know how to visualize Port 1 I/O in  the debugger.
Lab Report
The lab report is how I will grade  you on your labs. Usually, the report is due 1 week following the  completion of the lab. However, do to  unforeseen circumstances, due dates may change. I will try my best to  keep everyone informed of any changes. With this said, it is your  responsibility to turn the report in during the scheduled due

Homework 3 Submission: This is an individual homework assignment. Compress your complete VB project folder into a .zip file. Upload the .zip file to our homework submission site.
In this assignment, you will implement an electronic stock trading system. Your system will accept trading orders and based on those orders, it will keep track of pending orders, and execute trades when possible.
1. Database design (20 points)
Use Microsoft Access to design a database for the stock trading system. You should determine the tables to be created, the attributes in each table, and the primary key in each table. DO NOT define foreign keys in this assignment even they do exist. It will be easier for you to debug your VB program when foreign keys are absent.
The system maintains common stocks records. Each stock is described by a ticker symbol (e.g., BAC), a company name, exchange venue (e.g., NYSE), listing date, sector, and industry.
The system also keeps track of stocks’ daily closing records. Each closing record consists of a ticker symbol, a date, opening price, highest price of the day, lowest price of the day, the closing price, trading volume on that day, and 1 day price change %.
Users can use the system to place market order requests for stock trading. A market order is a request to purchase or sell a stock at the current market price. Each order request should include a ticker symbol, date and time of the request, type of order (buy or sell), quantity of stock to be traded, and order status (pending, completed, or cancelled).
2. Database population (10 points)
Use Microsoft Access to populate at least 10 records into each of the database tables created above. You must pick at least 10 stocks from this web site: http://www.1stock1.com/1stock1_112.htm , where you can find last year’s return rate % for each stock. For other stock information, please use the Yahoo! Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/stock-center/) and search by the stock ticker symbol. The sector and industry information can be found from the company profile page on Yahoo! Finance. Please make sure that you have at least 2 sectors and 2 industries per sector, and that each industry has at least 2 stocks.
After you populate the stocks table, you should populate daily records and trading requests based on either true market data or your imagination. Please make sure that you have a mixture of different order types and statuses for different stocks. A minimum of 10 records is required for each table.
