Performance Measurement Please respond to the following:

• Imagine you are working at an ice cream shop. It is the middle of summer, the shop’s busiest season, and the electricity goes out during a storm. Rank the actions that you should take in order of importance, as your performance will be measured regarding your immediate actions.
• Assess the advantages and / or disadvantages of having more than one source of performance measurement within a company. Support your position with examples. Of the performance measurement sources you provided, select one that you believe your current or previous company could benefit from and explain why.

Create a 350-word memo to management including the following:

• Describe the use of internal rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV), and the payback method in evaluating project cash flows.
• Describe the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

Calculate the following time value of money problems:

1. If you want to accumulate $500,000 in 20 years, how much do you need to deposit today that pays an interest rate of 15%?
2. What is the future value if you plan to invest $200,000 for 5 years and the interest rate is 5%?
3. What is the interest rate for an initial investment of $100,000 to grow to $300,000 in 10 years?
4. If your company purchases an annuity that will pay $50,000/year for 10 years at a 11% discount rate, what is the value of the annuity on the purchase date if the first annuity payment is made on the date of purchase?
5. What is the rate of return required to accumulate $400,000 if you invest $10,000 per year for 20 years. Assume all payments are made at the end of the period.

Calculate the project cash flow generated for Project A and Project B using the NPV method.

• Which project would you select, and why?
• Which project would you select under the payback method? The discount rate is 10% for both projects.
• Use Microsoft^® Excel^® to prepare your answer.

Week Four Discussions

Discussion Topic

Starts Jan 30, 2017 12:00 AM

This week (and past weeks) your readings focuses on the techniques and tools you would use to collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence. This really is the fun stuff, but while this class does not focus as heavily on the highly technical aspects of digital forensics (e.g., using the tools, techniques, processes to collect, preserve and analyze digital evidence), it does stress how to be prepared for the digital evidence process, as it fits into the criminal justice system. Although you may not know how to conduct these processes using the tools, you should be aware of what processes the tools are used for, what and what issues may come up regarding the analysis and the introduction as evidence. The class does stress understanding the digital evidence process (ex: using forensically-sound practices) as it fits into the criminal justice system and evidentiary issues.

Of course, it is critical that computer forensic examiners understand processes such as capturing volatile data, recognizing and collecting digital evidence, analyzing the evidence once it is collected, etc.; however, what I want you to focus on this week is why and how processes designed to identify, seize, collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence relates to the criminal justice process.

You should all understand the need to verify what a warrant will allow you to search for and seize in a criminal case (ensuring that you do not exceed the scope and potentially compromise your case). In working as an IT professional with a corporation, you should also be aware of what a company’s policy or an organization’s leadership will allow you to do in a non-criminal justice investigation. In either case, you need to able to testify about all the steps you took, from the point when you were first notified of the incident or called in to collect the digital evidence, until the time you are called testify about it. Digital evidence must not just be simply collected (e.g., picked up and put in a bag), but procedures must be put in place to preserve the evidence so the defense cannot sufficient doubt about the integrity or provenance of the evidence.

For this week’s discussion: (answer all questions in a single posting)

1. Describe at least 5 steps in a process from the collection of digital evidence to the time you testify that you consider important. Please number your steps and explain why each step is important.

2. You are a witness and I am asking the following question – please answer as if you are on the witness stand. (By the way, when you answer a question, you would want to turn and give your answer directly to the jury)

“Upon entering the room where the computer was located, what was the first thing you did?”

3. Then, please answer my follow-up question, again as if you are on the witness stand.

“After seizing the computer evidence, what did you do with it?”

1.Explain why the monotheistic conception of deity presents problems for the monotheistic faiths with regard tot he problem of evil. How does Process theology within its pantheistic framework attempt to address these problems?
-In answering the above examine each of the monotheistic theodicies that can be found in the book of Job.
-How does process theodicy redefine the traditional monotheistic characteristics of God?
-Conclude by describing which theodicy makes the most sense to you, or is the most satisfying to you? Why? 2.Choose an Axial Age religion (Theravada Buddhism or Confucianism) and a branch of Christianity (Catholicism or Protestantism) and compare and contrast their perspectives on the human problem and their respective solutions. -Begin by exploring how their religious interpretation of the human condition is related to the concepts of deity or ultimate reality and cosmogony?
-Make sure to cover the following sections when developing your answer: what is the problem, what is the ideal state that we should as individuals and societies be achieving, what is the proscription (steps toward the solution), and lastly, what is the ultimate ideal that as humans we are looking forward to. (See chart posted on Blackboard “the human problem.”)

Using one or two examples, analyze the ways in which Islamic architecture embodies the deeper values and ideas of Islam.

I want exactly seven pages without the work cited… double-spaced..
