Use your creativity to illustrate each term.There
are multiple elements to this SLP. Please make sure that you follow the
requirements very carefully and double-check your work against the
requirements before uploading.SLP Assignment ExpectationsThis SLP requires that you define 23 Business Terms in a slideshow where each slide contains both verbal and visual elements.The
best way to approach this assignment is to follow the order of the
terms as they are presented. Begin with ‘Accounts Payable’ and end with
‘Variable Cost’. DO NOT skip around and present the terms out-of-order.
This can lead to confusion and run the risk of missing terms. It also
makes it difficult for the reader to follow.What the slides must
contain is noted below. Make sure that you double-check your work
against the Expectations before you upload.Your PowerPoint

References Cited slide. Creative images can be found using Internet

cited next to each image (full reference will be included on the

Definitions Accounts Payable (AP) - Refers to the bills (most common liabilities) that are owed and need to be paid by a business. Accounts Receivable –Refers to the debts that are owed to a business which are typically the result of sales on credited. Assets –Refers to possessions of value owned by a business (such as inventory, cash, machinery, equipment, and property). Brand
– An important marketing term referring to the name of a product or
organization and any symbol or design associated with such. Used to
uniquely identify and differentiate an organization’s goods and services
from that of competitors. Break-even Analysis – A procedure
used in business to identify how many of a given product must be
produced and sold in order for the product to pay for itself. Business
Plan – A document that clarifies the details of a business venture and
typically includes the vision of the business, its status, identifies
markets, and provides projections for the results of the organization.Corporation
– A legal classification for most businesses which separates the
liabilities of the business from those who actually own the business
(stockholders). Capital Assets – Assets of an organization that
are also known as fixed assets. They are typically long-term assets
such as facilities and equipment owned by an organization. Cost
of Goods Sold – Refers to the costs of materials and production of the
goods sold by a business. The costs may include overhead, material
costs, and labor costs. Diversification – A marketing technique
or strategy that involves the creation of new product offerings to new
target markets. This may require the purchase of existing companies or
building of new facilities to enter the new market (for instance, an
auto-maker may choose to start selling fork lifts and golf carts). Entrepreneur – An individual who pursues opportunities and secures resources resulting in the creation of a new business. Fixed
Cost – Refers to costs that do not vary with the output of products and
includes costs such as rent, overhead, and payments on loans. These
costs essentially include payments that must be made regardless of how
well the business is doing. Liabilities – Money that must be
paid to lenders and other organizations. Typically debt on terms of 5
years or less is considered a short-term liability and if longer than 5
years it is considered a long-term liability.Marketing – An
important activity of businesses involved with planning and directing
resources to influence the perceptions of consumers to enhance the
likelihood that they will purchase the goods and services produced by
the business. Net Profit – Also known as net income or earnings, the operating income of a business after subtracting taxes and interest.Opportunity
Cost – Refers to the idea that if resources are dedicated to one
activity, those resources cannot be used for another activity. For
instance, if money is dedicated to purchase new computers the same funds
cannot also be used to retool a manufacturing operation. Return
On Investment (ROI) – The net profits for a project or investment
divided by the total invested in the project or investment. Thus, an ROI
of 1.0 would mean the investment paid nothing. Anything over 1.0 would
mean there was a return. The larger the value, the greater the return.Shareholders
– Individuals or companies owning shares of stock in a company. They
are typically considered the owners of a corporation. Stakeholders
– Individuals who hold some kind of a stake in an organization’s
activities. These typically include shareholders, the community in which
the organization resides, customers, employees, suppliers, and other
groups that can be impacted either positively or negatively. Strategic
Management – A multi-year planning process used by businesses that
includes the assessment of the competitive environment in which a given
organization operates, and the formulation of strategiesfor
implementation. Strategies are implemented in order to achieve the
organization’s mission and to ensure the company’s ability to compete
more effectively. Sunk Cost – The idea that expenditures on a
given activity should not be considered for the purposes of making
future decisions regarding the continuation of that activity. For
instance, if a company spends a million dollars on research and
development to improve a product and that product is suddenly made
obsolete by a competitor’s new innovation, it may not make sense to move
forward with the improvement. SWOT analysis – A commonly used
framework for identifying where an organization stands in the
competitive marketplace and entails assessing the organizations internal
strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities, and
threats. Variable Cost – Costs that fluctuate based on the
number of units produced. For instance, if an automaker produces more
vehicles they need to purchase more parts, more paint, hire more labor,
use more energy, and so on. Thus variable costs will increase. at least one image per termtext defining the term (abbreviated definitions are allowed)references cited next to each imagefull definition in each Notes Section Please Name of File >>>>> BUS101 Mod 2 SLP __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________TUX101

has a major paper due at the end of the term. It’s now past midterm and
she still hasn’t started to work on it. She keeps telling herself, “I
should have started sooner,” but she continues to postpone her work and
is becoming increasingly anxious and guilty. To relieve her growing
anxiety and guilt, Delayla starts doing other tasks instead, such as
cleaning her house and returning e-mails. This makes her feel a little
better because these tasks keep her busy, take her mind off the term
paper, and give her the feeling that at least she’s getting something
accomplished. Time continues to pass; the deadline for the paper grows
dangerously close. Delayla now finds herself in the position of having
lots of work to do and little time in which to do it.Reflection Questions What do you expect Delayla will do at this point? Why?What grade do you think she’ll end up receiving on her paper?Other
than simply starting sooner, what else could Delayla (and other
procrastinators like her) do to break the cycle of procrastination?Can you relate to this student’s predicament, or do you know other students who often find themselves in this predicament? Assignment ExpectationsPlease Name file TUX101-Mod2 Case
