Advertising Expenses went over cost for an unfavorable variance of $3,754 from a standard budget of $28,412 and a flexible budget of $27,708. The extra money spent towards advertising may have been to help boost extra sales towards the end of the year. Transportation Out also went over its budget for an unfavorable variance by $5,607. However, there is more to the Transportation Out than what the budget says. The price of shipment is supposed to be $30 per unit and with 87 less units sold; there should be an extra $2,610 in the budget. This requires extra investigation.

The plaintiff Charles Barker, a mayor Tennessee; sued Joe Carr the Secretary of State of Tennessee. Baker complained that legislation had not redrawn districts since being under a 1901 statue; which is in violation of the Tennessee Constitution because reapportion is due every ten years.

Levin and Goldberg quickly shot down Gilmore’s idea of adding a footnote about the warehouse arrangement where South City Electronics would ship their goods to Kelly Electronics who would then sell it to Victor Systems, while South City recognized revenue immediately. Not disclosing this arrangement would be in direct violation of AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct. Levin even told Gilmore himself that the footnote would create doubt in the public and wonder what accounting practices they are partaking in. With this being said, this would violate the public trust principle. This principle states that South City has a responsibility to the public to serve them honestly, and to carry out their duties with integrity and objectivity. If they go through with this warehouse arrangement and add the footnote, the public would wonder what other manipulative accounting practices they use to meet their earning goals. If they don’t add the footnote, they would be violating AICPA’s Code of Professional Conduct integrity and objectivity rule, which states that a member can not knowingly misrepresent facts to the public. This warehouse arrangement would allow South City to record a $1.2 million sale early, before the goods have reached the final customer, Victor Systems which violates SEC and FASB

The problem is Gavin uses the men’s restroom and is fighting for a transgender restroom throughout the school. The school board’s policy denies transgender students access to the restrooms used by rest of the student body because it violates the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Unknown, 2017). The school states that students must use the restrooms according to their

During our negotiation with D.G. Barnhouse (DGB), we intend to utilize an integrative bargaining strategy with management. Before coming to this conclusion, we weighed the advantages and disadvantages of a distributive approach, however, we eventually decided to take an integrative and predominantly interest based stance versus a position based stance in our negotiations after assessing internal and external environmental factors. In addition, we settled on this strategy because we ultimately believe that management and the union share at the very least, one fundamental common interest, which is the firm’s financial stability. That being said, even with our plans to use integrative bargaining, we still plan to negotiate assertively to achieve

Those concerns and suspicions easily turn to the idea law enforcement is trying to protect someone suspected of a wrongdoing, whether it’s true or not.

Right there Lambeth would lose $125 since Mrs. Carter was not willing to pay any more than $1,500, not to mention their $275 profit. If the company would have taken the job for $1,500, instead of $1,900, they would have lost a total of $400.
