A quaint but well-established coffee shop, the Hot New Cafe, wants to build a new cafe for increased capacity. Expected sales are $800,000 for the first 5 years. Direct costs including labor and materials will be 50% of sales. Indirect costs are estimated at $100,000 a year. The cost of the building for the new cafe will be a total of $750,000, which will be depreciated straight line over the next 5 years. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 37%, and its cost of capital is 12%. For this assignment, you need to develop a capital budget. It is important to know what the cafe managers should consider within their capital budget. You must also define the key terms necessary to understand capital budgeting. In this assignment, please show all work, including formulae and calculations used to arrive at financial values. You must answer the following: Using the information in the assignment description: Prepare a capital budget for the Hot New Cafe with the net cash flows for this project over a 5-year period. Calculate the payback period (P/B) and the net present value (NPV) for the project.

Based on Essentials of Research Methods, by Keeok Park ISBN: 978098434461 structure. Please rewrite chapter 1 in a paragraph structure style, based on Keeok Park method. Keep the topic, but should use this formatting below… Chapter I: Introduction Two most important things in the introduction section are the purpose and significance of the study. Statement of the problem: (Statement of the need): What is the (social, administrative, or management) problem that will be studied? If no specific problem will be addressed, some basic information about the topic can be provided in this section. Purpose of the study: This section begins with “The purpose of this study is ….” Hypotheses: Express the hypothesis in the research hypothesis format (not in the null hypothesis format). Directional hypotheses are preferred. Each hypothesis should indicate the dependent and independent variables. Limit the number of hypotheses to 2 or 3. Importance (significance) of the study: Why should we care about the topic? Why is the study important? (Is it because it solves some real world problems? Is it because it adds new pieces of information to the existing literature?) Definitions of terms: Defines unusual terms and phrases (this is an optional section and it may go to an appendix, if necessary). Delimitations of the study: This section defines or narrows the scope of the study by explaining what will be studied and what will NOT be studied. In most cases, we cannot study all aspects of a topic because we do not have enough time, energy, or technical skills. So, we delimit the scope of the study by focusing on only one or more aspects of a topic. For example, assume that we plan to study the issue of quality of life. We may state that we will study the issue of quality of life only in terms of social relationships (excluding the financial, health, and other aspects of quality of life). Then, we are delimiting the scope of the study. We may also delimit the scope of the study by defining or narrowing the study population. For example, we may state that the study will deal with the issue of quality of life only among the senior citizens in one city. This way, we are delimiting the scope of the study to the population of senior citizens in that city.

Discuss Psychological Skills for Enhancing Performance – Arousal Regulation

Motivation is a key component in employee productivity and overall organizational success. Understanding why people behave as they do is an important step in predicting and managing behavior. There are many theories of motivation. Three important theories are Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, McGregor’s Theories X and Y, and Herzberg’s two-factor theory. In an essay, describe and evaluate one of these important theories of motivation. First, choose a theory and describe the claims it makes. What does it say about why people act as they do? Then explain why, in your view, the theory you have chosen is or is not effective in predicting individual behavior. Do people actually behave the way the theory claims that they do?

Discussion: Nurses Working to Prevent Disease at Home According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2016), a vaccination has not been found to prevent the Zika virus, a disease that has been transmitted to humans through mosquito bites from mosquitoes that are most active during the day. Zika has been found in many countries around the globe, and its range is expanding. The symptoms of Zika are generally mild, last about a week, and include fever, rash, joint pain, and/or conjunctivitis. Symptoms are generally so mild that many victims will not know they have been infected, but about 20% of those individuals who are bitten will develop Zika. The most concerning symptom of Zika affects pregnant women, whose babies may develop microcephaly. In general, the CDC (2016) has recommended that people wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outside and apply insect repellant beforehand to avoid getting bitten. People who possibly have been infected with the Zika virus are urged to use a condom during sexual contact to avoid spreading the virus to others. In fact, some countries, such as El Salvador, have recommended that women avoid pregnancy for the next two years (The New York Times,1/25/16). The CDC has also recommended that any vessels or containers of open water be protected from access to mosquitoes so that breeding cycles are disrupted. Brazil has begun a massive campaign to stop mosquitoes from accessing breeding grounds by closing their access to water collection systems and other sources of standing or still water. Could something like the Zika virus begin in your neighborhood? In this Discussion, you will examine your neighborhood through the eyes of the public health nurse or a nurse epidemiologist. To prepare for this Discussion: • Walk around a two-block radius near where you live or work. • Look to see if you can spot any areas where mosquitoes may reproduce. These sites may include abandoned tires, rainwater collection systems that have been installed at homes, parks or golf courses, low sections at roadsides or near sidewalks, and the like. You may include pictures of sites that you find to enhance your discussion thread. • Note any positive or negative findings that you observe. Have steps been taken to prevent mosquito breeding? • Find out what your community health department does for mosquito abatement. • Discover who in your community you would contact to report deficiencies/negative findings. • Determine what you can do, as a PHN, to change policy to reduce mosquito breeding grounds in your neighborhood. By Day 3 Post your findings regarding mosquito breeding grounds in a two-block radius near where you live or work. Include any preventative strategies you can see that are already in place. Report on the role your local health department plays in mosquito abatement and to whom you would report negative findings. Then, describe your role as a BSN in changing policy to ensure a healthier climate (reduced mosquito breeding grounds) in your neighborhood.
