Will Trust Law, writing homework help
For this assignment, I want to discuss an issue that is certainly very relevant today: the charitable deduction to the estate tax. Many people who are wealthy want to give some assets to charity, either in the will or during life, to minimize estate tax liability. Obviously, a big question is: what constitutes "charitable"? This can be a controversial issue. Here are 3 gifts: - A gift to a trust to go to "paying the salaries of police officers and firefighters" - A gift "to the government of the United States" - A gift to a trust to be used to maintain the premises of a public cemetery Please discuss whether each of these gifts qualifies for the estate tax charitable deduction. Please use case law and/or statutory law to establish your conclusion.Please also discuss any important limitations that may be applicable to each deduction.

MBA 640 UMUC Developing and Implementing a Marketing Plan Project
Project 4: Developing and Implementing a Marketing PlanStep 7: Develop Marketing ObjectivesThe next component of the marketing plan your team needs to tackle is the strategic analysis report.As a marketing team, you need to decide on the marketing objectives for your target market before you develop your company’s marketing strategy. Marketing objectives translate the company's mission and business into long- and short-term goals. Marketing objectives are usually quantitative and include sales (both in units or dollars), market share, and profitability. They may also include qualitative factors such as quality, customer satisfaction, and social responsibility (Kerin & Hartley, 2017). Knowing exactly where you want to go is essential in deciding how to get there. The objectives have to be measurable, specific, and have a set time limit.Marketing objectives should be challenging but achievable. They are mainly quantitative (with some qualitative ones), and they should be precise and focused.Using figures from your own market research, please include your projected annual...growth percentagemarket share percentagesales (in both units and dollars)average unit priceprofitability percentagecustomer satisfactionCSR outcomesemployee satisfaction rateBe sure to include a time frame. Also, presenting the figures in a table in the end would look professional.Deliverable: By the end of Week 9 prepare a one-page document outlining your marketing objectives. This will ultimately form part of your strategic analysis report. Submit your document to your team’s study group.You will continue your work on a strategic analysis report in the next step, where you will begin to examine your market and determine how the company can meet the marketing objectives you identified.ReferencesKerin, R. & Hartley, S. (2017). Marketing (13th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw Hill.Project 4: Developing and Implementing a Marketing PlanStep 8: Conduct a Segmenting and Targeting of the US Market and Product Positioning (STP)The next step in developing your strategic analysis report involves segmenting, targeting, and positioning (STP).Take NoteSegmenting refers to breaking the market down into homogenous groups.Targeting refers to selecting the customer group or groups that you will focus your marketing efforts on. The appropriate segmentation variable is dependent on the needs and wants of customers.These decisions are directly tied to your value proposition and require extensive marketing research on the customers. Once the segmentation variable is determined and the target markets selected, you need to develop a positioning strategy, which refers to the way you want the customer to view the product or service relative to the competition.Describe the market research you would conduct to analyze and segment the US market. Explain how you would select your target markets and explain the process of positioning the company's products or services relative to the competition.Deliverable: By the end of Week 9 detail your STP in a six-page document. This will ultimately form part of your strategic analysis report. Submit your document to your team’s study group.Your overall STP is important, because it will create a foundation for the refinements you will make in the next step, where you will compete and submit your strategic analysis report.Project 4: Developing and Implementing a Marketing PlanStep 10: Complete Breakeven Analysis and Implementation, Controls, and Contingency PlanThe final component of your marketing plan is a breakeven analysis report that also includes a schedule for implementation, any needed control measures, and a contingency plan.Present your breakeven analysis in a table that includes the following details about your client:forecasted total number of units sold (for a service industry, products could be service contracts or the number of customers served)forecasted average unit price (AUP)forecasted total sales (in US dollars)forecasted average unit variable costforecasted fixed costbreakeven point (units)breakeven point (in US dollars)Read about breakeven analysis to assist your calculations.In addition, use the following guidelines as you develop your implementation, controls, and contingency plan:Decide on the team that is going to implement the plan.Determine the time frame for implementation.Secure the financial and human resources needed.Distribute the tasks among team members.Periodically check and communicate performance against the marketing plan metrics (benchmarks) to ensure that implementation is on track.Make changes if there are any deviations from the key performance indicators (KPIs) for those metrics, preferably using a dashboard. KPIs may include the number of sales calls, the number of new customers, sales, profitability, growth, etc.Contingency plans should deal with severe deviations from productions plans, sales figures, market share, profitability, changes in government regulations (e.g., increased taxation), and drastic competitors’ moves (e.g., launching a competing product or service or an offering that may render your offering obsolete or less attractive to the market).Deliverable: Early in Week 9 submit a report that explains your breakeven analysis. Also, include a table at the end of the report that highlights your financials. In addition, explain your schedule for implementation as well as the controls you intend to put in place and how you intend to proceed when your benchmarks are not met (contingency plan).Your breakeven analysis and implementation report should be three pages, excluding cover page, the reference list, and appendices.

BIS 155 DeVry University Sales Data Project with VLOOKUP Worksheet
In this project, you will work with sales data from Top’t Corn, a popcorn company with an online store, multiple food trucks, and two retail stores. You will begin by copying the sales data for one of the retail stores from another workbook. Next, you will insert a new worksheet and enter sales data for the four food truck locations, formatting the data, and calculating totals. You will create a pie chart to represent the total units sold by location and a column chart to represent sales by popcorn type. You will format the charts, and then set up the worksheet for printing. Next, you help Top’t Corn calculate payments for a loan and decide whether or not the purchase is a good idea. Working with the daily sales data for one of the brick-and-mortar stores, you will apply conditional formatting to find the top 10 sales dates. Y ou will also calculate the sales for each date, and the average, minimum, and maximum sales. You will use Goal Seek to find the appropriate price to reach a higher daily average sales goal. You will use VLOOKUP to look up sales data for a specific date. Finally, you will work with their online sales data to format it as an Excel table and apply sorting and filtering. You will create a PivotTable and a PivotChart from a copy of the online sales data to summarize the sales.Skills needed to complete this project:Open a workbookCopy a worksheet to another workbookClose a workbookInsert a worksheetName a worksheetMove a worksheetEnter textEnter numbersEdit textAutofit a columnApply a cell styleAdd cell shadingChange font colorMerge and center text across cellsApply bold formattingApply number formattingEnter a SUM functionCopy formula using AutoFillInsert a pie chartApply a chart Quick LayoutMove a chartInsert a column chartSwitch the row/column in a column chartChange the chart titleApply a chart Quick StyleShow chart data labelsPreview how a worksheet will look when printedChange worksheet orientationChange the print marginsScale a worksheet for printingChange the color of a worksheet tabApply a column widthCalculate a loan payment with PMTEnter a simple formula using multiplicationEnter a simple formula using subtractionAdd cell bordersCreate a formula referencing cells in another worksheetEnter an AVERAGE functionUse the IF functionHide a worksheetApply date formatsApply Top Ten conditional formattingUse an absolute reference in a formulaName a range of cellsUse a named range in a formulaUse the MIN function in a formulaUse the MAX function in a formulaWrap textAnalyze data with Goal SeekUse the VLOOKUP function in a formulaConvert data into a tableApply a table Quick StyleUse the table Total rowSort data in a tableFilter data in a tableCreate a PivotTableCreate a PivotChartUnhide a worksheetNote: Download the resource file needed for this project from the Resources link.

You will format the charts, and then set up the worksheet for printing. Next, you help Top’t Corn calculate payments for a loan and decide whether or not the purchase is a good idea. Working with the daily sales data for one of the brick-and-mortar stores, you will apply conditional formatting to find the top 10 sales dates. Y ou will also calculate the sales for each date, and the average, minimum, and maximum sales. You will use Goal Seek to find the appropriate price to reach a higher daily average sales goal. You will use VLOOKUP to look up sales data for a specific date. Finally, you will work with their online sales data to format it as an Excel table and apply sorting and filtering. You will create a PivotTable and a PivotChart from a copy of the online sales data to summarize the sales.Skills needed to complete this project:Open a workbookCopy a worksheet to another workbookClose a workbookInsert a worksheetName a worksheetMove a worksheetEnter textEnter numbersEdit textAutofit a columnApply a cell styleAdd cell shadingChange font colorMerge and center text across cellsApply bold formattingApply number formattingEnter a SUM functionCopy formula using AutoFillInsert a pie chartApply a chart Quick LayoutMove a chartInsert a column chartSwitch the row/column in a column chartChange the chart titleApply a chart Quick StyleShow chart data labelsPreview how a worksheet will look when printedChange worksheet orientationChange the print marginsScale a worksheet for printingChange the color of a worksheet tabApply a column widthCalculate a loan payment with PMTEnter a simple formula using multiplicationEnter a simple formula using subtractionAdd cell bordersCreate a formula referencing cells in another worksheetEnter an AVERAGE functionUse the IF functionHide a worksheetApply date formatsApply Top Ten conditional formattingUse an absolute reference in a formulaName a range of cellsUse a named range in a formulaUse the MIN function in a formulaUse the MAX function in a formulaWrap textAnalyze data with Goal SeekUse the VLOOKUP function in a formulaConvert data into a tableApply a table Quick StyleUse the table Total rowSort data in a tableFilter data in a tableCreate a PivotTableCreate a PivotChartUnhide a worksheetNote: Download the resource file needed for this project from the Resources link.
