According to recent census data, there are almost four million American multigenerational households with three or more generations living together. In the US, this represents a new (or arguably a return to a previous) trend away from each generation establishing their own independent home. In more collectivistic cultures, multigenerational living arrangements are considered the norm. Like any family structure, multigenerational living, whether a new phenomenon or a steadfast tradition, offers both benefits and challenges.Post a thoughtful discussion addressing the following: What were some of the major issues addressed in the readings and videos? What did you agree with? What did you disagree with? Describe some advantages and disadvantages that result from a multigenerational living arrangement with regular exchange and contacts between three generations in a single household? How does the living arrangement affect people differently based on their place in the family? How does it change roles in the family system? What cultural features of each society play a role in maintaining aspects of their traditional family structure? What are your thoughts and insights on multigenerational living arrangements? Are they primarily positive or negative? Would you want to live in this family arrangement? Why or why not? read and respond to 2 of your classmates.

In the required reading for this module, the article “If You Build It, They Will Relocate: Public Private Partnerships in Sport Stadium Financing (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.” describes the unique relationship formed between a jurisdiction and a sports franchise that is potentially “on the move” with the common goal of attracting/retaining lucrative revenue streams for the related public and private sector businesses.Public private partnerships are one recommended mechanism for brokering the financial side of the transaction where public funding and private funding combine to sponsor the construction/rehabilitation efforts of a sporting facility. Using taxpayer dollars for such projects can often be a tenuous proposition, so as accountants, we need to make sure this project’s accounting will withstand potentially intense scrutiny.Please respond in MS Word to the following questions related to this scenario:In your own words, summarize the “If You Build It…” article in two to three paragraphs, specifically evaluating the financing vehicle of the public private partnership.Based on the article content, how would you set up the public private partnership financing arrangement on the books of the jurisdiction using fund accounting? What items should you consider in your decision?Assume instead that the sports franchise and private donors will sponsor the entire cost of the project on a reimbursement basis, but the local government will handle the management of the project, including handling the bookkeeping and paying the bills. What factors would you need to know to properly account for the transaction? For each possible type of fund, identify the factors that determine the classification of the project into a particular fund.The construction of major facilities like a sports stadium often encounter challenges during the construction process that create budget overruns. When additional public funds will be needed to cover some or all of these overruns, what are the jurisdiction’s options for obtaining additional funds to finance large projects were discussed in the textbook Chapter 5? How would those options be accounted for on the jurisdiction’s books?What is your opinion on whether taxpayer funds should be utilized for building sports arenas that benefit a for-profit business for a limited period before the facility starts to become undesirable and obsolete?
