(you will use the10-k file forkroker co. from their website) "In order for a Company to access the public market the SEC requires five years of audited financial statements.Item 6 of the annual report on Form 10-K also requires five years of selected financial data.The CQAD and most financial professionals will normally accumulate at least 5 years of financial statement data for purposes of observing trends and/or recoveries from unforeseen events and conditions.Because only two balance sheets are presented in a US GAAP set of financial statements, three 10-K’s will be required to obtain five years of balance sheet information. BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR FIRST EFFORT AT THIS EXERCISE, YOU MAY SHORTEN YOUR REVIEW PERIOD TO THE MOST RECENT THREE FISCAL YEARS.Thus all of your income statement, cash flow and changes in equity information can be found in the 10-K that you downloaded in Phase 1.You will however have to download the10-K filed two years earlier in order to obtain the third and fourth years of balance sheet information.Four years of balance sheet data are needed as many of the ratios require the calculation of average balances (beginning + ending)/2.I have been known to add points to students who accumulate 6 years of data (I/S, CF, Equity and BS).  1) Prepare an Excel spread sheet containing a minimum of three years of Income Statement, and Statement of Cash Flows and a minimum of four years of Balance Sheets as presented in the 10-Ks.All three of the financial statement will be on the same tab within the spread sheet.That tab should be called “As Reported”.In future steps we will create a new tab containing reclassified items to conform to CQAD format, but for the time being we need a starting point and that starting point needs to be the financial statements as reported by the Company.DO NOT SUBMIT A SPREAD SHEET PREPARED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN YOU.(see my comments on page 3). DO NOT INCLUDE PARENTHETICAL DATA IN THE LABEL COLUMN OF YOUR SPREAD SHEET.Rather create a new row for the data.For example it is common to report: Accounts receivable (net of allowances of $100 and $90) $1,651$1,542 The label for Accounts receivable should just read: Accounts receivable – net Under the balance sheet you should create a new row for the supplemental information as follows: Allowances against receivables$100$90 By doing this the allowance data is now usable data rather than a narrative label. 2. To the right of the financial statement data, prepare common size financial statements (vertical analysis) using total revenues as the base for the income statement, operating cash flows as the base for the statement of cash flows and total assets as the base for the balance sheet.(Hint – use anchors and copy.Then go back and add borders) 3. To the right of the vertical analysis prepare horizontal analysis columns including year to year growth and a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for all relevant rows on your spreadsheet.CLEAR CELLS THAT RETURN ERROR MESSAGES AND OR RATES IN EXCESS OF 100%. (Hint – use anchors and copy.Then go back and add borders) Step 1 is the most time consuming because it takes time to type and to find your keypunch errors.You will make keypunch errors.Find them so that I don’t have to. Do not concern yourself with mirroring the cosmetics of the Company’s financial statements.This Excel spread sheet is a working tool.What is important is that the numbers on the spreadsheet are presented in the same order and with a reasonable representation of the line item label. On the income statement, you can omit Basic Shares Outstanding and Basic EPS.We will focus on Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding and Diluted EPS.If your income statement does not included the number of diluted shares used to compute EPS, find the number in the footnotes and include it on your spread sheet in a row in between Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Share.If your company declared a cash dividend and does not disclose the cash dividend per share on the income statement, compute and present on the income statement the cash dividend per share using the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. On the statement of Cash Flows be sure to include supplemental cash flow information at the bottom of the financial statement including: Interest paid during the year and Income taxes paid during the year.  On the balance sheet, add lines to your spread sheet below the balance sheet to reflect parentheticals disclosures for allowance for doubtful accounts, shares issued, treasury shares and shares outstanding.Eventually, you will also need separate amounts for Land, Construction-in-progress, accumulated depreciation and deferred revenues (gift card liabilities)  which are often found in the footnotes rather than on the face of the financial statements.

After you take the assessment, watch this video about Conflict Management Styles to find out more. KILLMANN'S MODEL OF CONFLICT MANAGEMENT STYLES (reading) - To learn about the uses of each style, read this link.  Competing conflict handling mode The  competing conflict handling mode is the most assertive and least  cooperative of the conflict handling modes. If someone uses this  handling style, they are more likely to pursue their own interests even  at the cost of others’ interests. Individuals with this conflict  handling mode are likely to use whatever they can to win an argument  such as particularly good debating skills or even the use of rank. These  individuals defend their position in an argument heavily. Accommodating conflict handling mode On the other end of the spectrum, the accommodating conflict handling mode is very cooperative and not very assertive. With this conflict handling mode, you are likely to sacrifice your own stance in preference of agreeing with other parties. This  could be a style leaned on out of a feeling of self-sacrifice for the  bigger picture. However, it could also be used by individuals who truly  dislike conflict and are willing to sacrifice their opinions in an  argument to avoid it. Avoiding conflict handling mode Speaking  of hating conflict, if you hate conflict, you might also use the  avoiding conflict handling mode. It might also be used if someone  doesn’t feel like they have a large stake or strong opinion in the  conflict. The avoiding conflict handling mode is neither assertive  or cooperative. Rather than choosing a side, these individuals are  likely to neither pursue their own interests or the interests of anyone  else involved in the conflict. Collaborating conflict handling mode Completely  opposite to avoiding is collaborating. This conflict handling mode  holds both strong assertive and cooperative facets. If you have a  collaborative handling mode, you are likely to consider both sides of a  conflict and look at the underlying problems and find an answer that  works for everyone. Collaborative conflict handling modes involve more discussion than argument and finding a solution that addresses all issues. Compromising conflict handling mode The  compromising conflict handling mode is close to collaborating conflict  handling mode. While the collaborative handling mode holds a little more  assertiveness with the individual taking charge of a mutually  beneficial conversation, compromising is equally assertiveness and  cooperative. When looking at a conflict with a compromising  approach, you are more likely to look at both sides of the problem and  find a middle ground. One of the biggest differences between this  and collaborative conflict handling is how deeply an issue is looked at.  While a collaborative mode focuses more on picking an issue apart and  finding the source of an issue, a compromising mode tries to find a  quick middle ground to a problem by meshing multiple ideas into a single  solution                        .Answer part  A  separately from Part B PART A Answer the following in your discussion. #1  Using the Class Poll "Conflict Triggers," select the main cause YOU  BELIEVE to be a trigger. Briefly explain why you identified this trigger  as being a primary cause of conflict. #2 Reflect on a recent  conflict you had with a friend, family member, co-worker, or another  person. In your own words, what escalated the interaction for you, or  what was your trigger? These will be typically be feelings you have  experienced in the past such as feeling excluded, powerless, unheard,  judged, etc. You do not have to describe the event. #3  After reviewing the Reading & Resources folder on Conflict  Management Styles, identify which style was used by the other person in  the conflict situation you just identified and how this style either  helped or hindered resolution. initial post, 250-500 words, at least one academic reference, Cite all source(s) used in the text as well as in a reference section using APA format.

Their manager, who was very intimating with a loud, assertive voice, instructed them to create a proposal for the new customer which included a design for a restaurant logo and advertising slogan to be used on several billboards throughout the area. They had one week to create the proposal before it would be presented to the restaurant owners. Their boss raised his voice and demanded that they do a good job on the presentation and secure this account.During the first day, Dante approached Tiffany and suggested they come up with an outline to split up the work and manage their time. Tiffany immediately stated that she would take the task of the logo and would submit it at the end of the week because she wanted to make sure she received credit for her work. Although Dante would have preferred to work together on both tasks, he agreed to let Tiffany complete the logo on her own. After all, they had very little time to complete the project and do a good job on it.Over the next two days, Tiffany ignored Dante’s requests to work together and any input or ideas he had for the project. She brought her progress directly to the boss for feedback without ever showing it to Dante. Tiffany even started working on the slogan without Dante. When Dante approached Tiffany about her actions, she told him that she was more experienced in her position than him and this is the way she gets things done. Dante stepped back and let Tiffany complete the project on her own.At the end of the week, Tiffany presented the campaign to the restaurant owners while Dante stood to the side. The restaurant owners were impressed with the logo and slogan and decided to accept the proposal. The boss was very pleased with Tiffany and Dante’s work and suggested they work together on future accounts. Tiffany was annoyed by her boss’s suggestion but did not say anything. Dante felt very disappointed and frustrated having to work with Tiffany.Answer the following: Identify the main conflict(s) in the case study. Why are these conflicts?
