Use this week’s discussion board to explore alternate means of applying a classic finish to a firearm.
While some modern gunsmiths believe spray-on finishes provide better protection to gunmetal than traditional conversion coatings, “classicists” argue that traditional finishes are aesthetically superior.
Research several consumer reviews of a spray-on bluing or browning products and incorporate your findings to answer the following question:
In your opinion, would you attempt to blue or brown a gun part for a customer using a spray-on method? Would it depend on the part (i.e. a barrel vs. a fastener)? Why or why not?
Consider your Course Project.
Describe the composition and role of the board and board membership (number of people, who they tend to be, and to who or whom they are most loyal) in terms of success before and after a venture capital fund has invested in a new venture. What Warren Buffet has to say about Board Members.
Successful entrepreneurs understand all aspects of business, especially costs and costing systems. In the course project, you will assume the role of the owner of a small business and apply managerial accounting principles to evaluate and manage costs related to your services within a costing system. In the first milestone of the project, you will determine and classify the costs necessary for opening your business.
You plan to open a business manufacturing collars, leashes, and harnesses for pets. To begin, you will manufacture these in a standard style and size with plans to expand your range over the year. In a few weeks, you will present your company’s financial strategy to some key investors. To begin creating your strategy, you need to consider and record all the costs associated with operating your business. You have decided to use the job order costing system.
Use the given operational costs in the Milestone One Operational Costs Data Appendix Word Document to complete the first two tabs, “Cost Classification” and “Variable and Fixed Costs,” in the Project Workbook Spreadsheet.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Submit the Project Workbook with the “Cost Classification” and “Fixed and Variable Costs” tabs completed. This file should be completed and submitted using Microsoft Excel.
From Luke 15:11 – 32.
(Ethics Case and Assignment Instructions are included in the attached pdf files)
Ethics Case Instructions -The purpose of this exercise is to explore ethics and decision making within organizations.
Assignment Guidelines: After reading the case:
1) Name this section ‘Identification of Dilemma’ and address the following (limit to 1 page):
a. What is the overall ethical dilemma? b. Who can be impacted by the dilemma (people and/or groups)?
2) Provide a brief overview of 2 Frameworks (Approaches) to Managerial Ethics (1+ pages per framework). Name this section ‘Ethical Frameworks’. Name each sub-section after the ethical frameworks you choose.
a. Choose from: Utilitarian, Deontology, Self-Interest, Rights, Justice, Social.
b. The textbook and lecture provide general explanations for the approaches above. Expand on these with external sources. Use in-paper citations and list the additional references at the end of your paper. c. This is not copy/paste from the internet. Be sure to write this in your own words based on your research.
d. This section of your paper should not reference the case. Instead focus on what you’ve learned (researched) regarding each ethical approach.
3) Provide outcomes to this ethical dilemma (2+ pages). Name this section ‘Evaluation of Ethical Dilemma’. Address the following in this section:
a. Based on what you’ve learned about the case, which framework (from the two you’ve explained in the previous section) do you believe will guide you in this situation? Explain why you will go this direction.
b. What are the implications of this decision (who does it benefit? What are the positive implications? What are the negative implications?)
c. If you had been guided by the other framework addressed in section 2, what would have been the positive and negative implications?
d. There’s no right/wrong answer choice, so I won’t grade this on your ability to choose a particular ethical framework. Instead, I’m more concerned with your ability to describe why you chose the approach and what happens next based on the approach. These will help me assess whether or not you understand the concepts.
e. No need for additional outside resources in this section, as you should refer to the case and the information provided from section 2.
You must also pick one of the following questions to answer (200 words minimum) for each film. (You don’t have to use the same question for each film.)

Exercise 5.12 METHODS AND APPLICATIONS
Suppose that the probability distribution of a random variable x can be described by the formula
P(x) = x
________________________________________
15
for each of the values x = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. For example, then, P(x = 2) = p(2) =2/15.
(a) Write out the probability distribution of x. (Write all fractions in reduced form.)
x 1 2 3 4 5
P(x) ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________
________________________________________
(b) Show that the probability distribution of x satisfies the properties of a discrete probability distribution.(Round other answers to the nearest whole number. Leave no cells blank – be certain to enter “0” wherever required.)
P(x) ≥ for each value of x.
(c) Calculate the mean of x. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Exercise 5.23 METHODS AND APPLICATIONS
Suppose that x is a binomial random variable with n = 5, p = 0.3, and q = 0.7.
(b) For each value of x, calculate p(x), and graph the binomial distribution. (Round final answers to 5 decimal places.)

(h) Use the probabilities you computed in part b to calculate the mean, μx, the variance, σ 2x, and the standard deviation, σx, of this binomial distribution. Show that the formulas for μx , σ 2x, and σx given in this section give the same results. (Do not round intermediate calculations.

(i) Calculate the interval [μx ± 2σx]. Use the probabilities of part b to find the probability that x will be in this interval. Hint: When calculating probability, round up the lower interval to next whole number and round down the upper interval to previous whole number. (Round your answers to 5 decimal places. A negative sign should be used instead of parentheses.)
The interval is [ , ].

Common Health Conditions with Implications for Women
Select a patient that you examined during the last four weeks as a Nurse Practitioner. Select a female patient with common endocrine or musculoskeletal conditions, Evaluate differential diagnoses for common endocrine or musculoskeletal conditions you chose .With this patient in mind, address the following in a SOAP Note:
Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding or her personal and medical history?
Objective: What observations did you make during the physical assessment?
Assessment: What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses. List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis and why?
Plan: What was your plan for diagnostics and primary diagnosis? What was your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up appointment with the provider, as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan.
Reflection notes: What would you do differently in a similar patient evaluation? And how can you relate this to your class and clinical readings.
