Unit 4 GB518 | Financial Accounting Principles and Analysis Assignment: Case Study Part 1 The Case Study will be due in Unit 4. VERY IMPORTANT INITIAL GENTLE REMINDER: If you do not understand Plagiarism and how to avoid violating the rules of Academic Integrity, please review the tutorial in the classroom title “Plagiarism.” It can be found under the “Academic Tools” tab in each unit. All written papers will be submitted to Turnitin to determine originality of content. Part 1 is a formal analysis paper. You are to complete a series of “Real-World Focus” problems from your textbook. You will select a company. The company you select must be the same company throughout the case for Part 1 in Unit 4 and Part 2 in Unit 5. The following alternatives are included to help you select your company: 1. If you work for a company that is willing to participate, you may use that company. 2. If you do not work, or if your company would not be an appropriate choice, you may choose a local company willing to participate. 3. If none of the above is an available option, you may choose to use data from any company you select as long as data is available (an internet search in accordance with the textbook RealWorld Focus problem instructions would be acceptable) and would be appropriate for the assignment. The basic definition of “Appropriate” would be that it will meet all of the grading rubric requirements. 4. Under NO circumstances would a company that you own be appropriate, whether it is a soleproprietorship, partnership or corporation. This is the list of Real-World Focus (RWF) Problems you will complete: Expand your Critical Thinking: CT 1-5 – pages 38 and 39 in the physical text. CT 2-5 – page 84 in the physical text. CT 4-5 – page 210 in the physical text. CT 6-5 – pages 311 and 312 in the physical text. CT 7-5 – pages 368 and 369 in the physical text. CT 8-5 – page 417 in the physical text. CT 9-5 – page 473 in the physical text. Although presented in chronological order above, the order of presentation MUST follow the grading rubric order listed at the end of this document. You should consider using the grading rubric as a basic “Outline” for your paper. You may use the rubric elements to build your headings and subheadings. The rubric is provided at the end of this document. Unit 4 GB518 | Financial Accounting Principles and Analysis In addition to simply following the steps required in each RWF Problem, the first thing to present in the case will be an introduction to the company. For example, what industry, products, services, market, customer base, competitors, etc. Be thorough! Short answers do not provide the necessary analysis or critical thinking. Then, complete all required sections for all RWF problems. IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember; use the SAME company for all RWF segments. Do NOT present answers to any repetitive question components. For example, you are told to answer “What is the name of the company” in a number of the problems. You are to omit such repetitive answers. Include a “conclusion section” in your paper to summarize your case. Your paper must be presented in a single Word document. The paper must be between 6 to 8 pages in length, not including the title and reference list pages. The paper must use proper APA Publication Manual, 6th Edition formatting, including title page, running head, abstract and reference list with properly formatted citations in the body of the paper. Headings and sub-headings are REQUIRED. IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) Use the APA Template here. (2) This is an Analysis; do NOT present an “Interview” format with “questions and answers”. Do not simply provide “short-answers,” be more formal in the communication style. (3) An abstract is required. (4) Do NOT include a table of contents. (5) Do NOT repeat or copy the assignment question narratives. You may use abbreviated versions of the questions as headings and sub-headings. Anything that artificially increases the length of the paper but does not add value to the analysis will result in a reduced score. (6) For more specific information and guidance, please read the “General Writing Help” file in Doc Sharing. After you have completed the Unit 4 Case Paper, upload your Word document to the Unit 4 Assignment Dropbox before 11:59 PM (ET), on Tuesday of Unit 4. Name your assignment filename using this format: LastName_FirstName_Unit#_AssignmentName For example, this assignment will be named: Smith_Joan_Unit04_CasePaper Assignments submitted late will be subject to the Late Policy described in the Syllabus.
