Federalism The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government. In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications. Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows: Define federalism. Explain three advantages of federalism. Explain three disadvantages of federalism. Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution. Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you. Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government. .

Fanciful, Inc. is a case study which allows you to incorporate numerous financial and managerial accounting concepts into a single business setting. You will take the position of the company controller who will prepare the budget for the year ended December 31, 2013, using the actual data from 2008 through 2012, and information given to you by various departments. You will prepare a report for the president of the company, describing the strengths and weakness of the corporation, as well as provide suggestions for the future. In short, you will be responsible for the planning and control procedures for the company from an accounting standpoint. In order to focus on important accounting concepts, certain simplifications are necessary to make this case manageable. The student should keep the following simplifications in mind while working on this case: · Work in process inventories will be ignored. · Financial and IRS tax will be the same. · Some projections for 2013 will be given. · Standards used for the 2013 budget will be the reasonably obtainable standards. · No hourly worker will work overtime. · All price changes will occur on January 1st and will remain in effect for the entire year. · The actual 2012 information is available while preparing the 2013 budget. · All debt transactions will occur either on January 1st or December 31st. · There are no bad debts. The student should also keep in mind that the budgeting process is not an exact science; therefore, approximate figures provide adequate information for the decision maker. Figures should be rounded to the whole dollar throughout the budgeting process and the control applications. Since it is not possible to have a partial machine or person, certain figures will always have to be rounded up. GENERAL COMPANY INFORMATION Fanciful, Inc. is a paint manufacturing company that produces two qualities of paint, Super and Stupendous. The company was established eight years ago and began with only one type of paint. Sales of the original product have been rather stable in the past 5 years. In 2010, a second, higher-quality paint was introduced, and sales of this product have increased each year due to reasonably effective sales efforts. The president is currently concerned about the potential inefficient use of capacity and the effect that this has on profits. All raw materials are currently purchased from outside suppliers and no difficulty is foreseen in obtaining the necessary inventories for production in the future. All inventories are currently considered to be at the lowest safe levels possible given the delivery, production, and sales cycles. Given the current production capacity, the company will have room for expansion for the next few years without building new facilities or expanding the current building. The company will also have the option of starting a second production shift to support future sales if necessary; therefore, increased production will be obt.

Fans at stubhubnba tickets buy NBA tickets to see the kind of talented players that make the All Star team. Here are the seven players I would pick as reserves for the Eastern Conference squad. (Note: All statistics are as of January 28th.) Chris Bosh Anthony Davis 49ers Jersey , Toronto Raptors: I thought Bosh should have been selected as a starter over Kevin Garnett. Bosh could be the best power forward in the league right now, though his playing in Canada hurts him in terms of exposure. The Raptors star is averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds per game while shooting good percentages. Hes a great free throw shooter, uncommon for a big man, and has significant range on his jump shot. He deserves at least a reserve role. Danny Granger, Indiana Pacers: Grangers is probably the most underrated player in the entire league. Hes posting incredible numbers, among them a 26 points per game scoring average, and is carrying his team night in and night out. He had a really good season last year Anthony Davis Womens Jersey , which went largely unnoticed, but hes starting to get his due a little. In my book, a players teams record does not factor into the All Star selection process. Joe Johnson, Atlanta Hawks: Johnson has fallen off a bit as of late, but this guy has not gotten the credit hes been due since joining the Hawks and becoming their leader. He does everything well and can play three positions on the floor. Hes also a much underrated player. Devin Harris, New Jersey Nets: This has been Harris breakout season. His jump shot has gotten much better, especially from three Anthony Davis Authentic Jersey , making his lightning quick first step eve more dangerous than it already was. Hes taken on a leadership role on a young New Jersey squad and has been doing a little bit of everything. His overall numbers alone warrant a selection. Jameer Nelson, Orlando Magic: Nelson has really taken the next step in his development this season. Before this season began, I was thinking that perhaps he wasnt cut out for a starting gig in the NBA. Boy, did he prove me wrong. Nelson has been on a tear this season. Hes shooting a fantastic percentage from the floor, from the line and from behind the arc. Nelson isnt a pure passer, but he helps his team in a lot of ways. People have taken notice of his play this season and I think hell get the nod. Vince Carter, New Jersey Nets: I bet most people thought theyd never hear Vince Carters name in the All Star conversation again Anthony Davis Jersey , but hes having a really good season. Its apparent that hes giving full effort now and its paying dividends. His averages of 21 points, five assists and five rebounds are really impressive and should earn him a spot on the team. Mo Williams, Cleveland Cavaliers: Williams has pushed the Cavaliers to a whole new level. Hes the sidekick that LeBron James has always needed. He can handle the ball, distribute, create his own shot and shoot the rock very well. The addition of W.

Javier is a self-employed accountant (professional activity code is 541213). He maintains an office at 550 SE 1 st Avenue, Miami, FL. 33130. He shares the suite with several other professionals and has no employees. A receptionist handles all calls and is provided by the landlord as part of the services offered to tenants.

As is the case with all of Javier’s business transactions, the lunches are properly documented and supported by receipts. Because the reception room furnishings were looking shabby, Javier and his suite-mates had them replaced. The $2,200 Javier spent was his share (i.e., a sofa and coffee table) of the cost. Javier follows a policy of avoiding depreciation by utilizing the Section 179 election to expense assets. All of Javier’s office equipment (e.g., desk, chairs, file cabinets, computer, etc.) has previously been expensed.

FACTS: THE Decision Sciences Institute, Inc. sent email ballots to its members for their use in amending their Constitution. The Members were not required to sign their ballots. A review of the membership roster used to send the email ballots disclosed that 18 members did not receive ballots. The Decision Sciences Institute Inc. did not preserve copies of ballots cast and it is not known whether or not all other members received ballots. It is known that approximately 500 of about 1,400 members in fact cast ballots and there is anecdotal evidence that some members to whom email ballots were sent did not receive ballots because of junk mail filters and the like. had their servers set to reject email from addresses not on their “friends” and “favorites” lists or from businesses with whom they had previously agreed to transact business with electronically. The Board intended to amend the Constitution to remove regionally elected vice presidents from the Board. However, the ballot did not offer any amendments to ARTICLE VII, the composition of the Board. Undaunted, the Board that conducted the balloting removed the regionally elected vice presidents from the board. This has caused a many members to resign and the regions to reconsider their allegiance to the Institute because their representatives were removed from the board without a vote by the Members. Over the past 40 years the Regions have served the professional development needs of about 68,000 faculty members in their annual meetings while the Institute has served the professional development needs of about $44,000 Members in its Annual Meetings. You have been called in as a consultant by Members and you are now being asked to determine the legality of the balloting and the ethical issues raised by the Board’s action in removing the regionally elected representatives from the Board. ARTICLE XVII—CHANGES IN CONSTITUTION No article shall be added to this Constitution and no part shall be amended or annulled except by written ballot sent to all Members. A change in the Constitution requires a two-thirds affirmative vote of the Members returning said written ballots within 30 days after their mailing to the Member. ARTICLE VII--BOARD OF DIRECTORS 1. Composition. The Institute's Board of Directors shall consist of the President (who serves as Chairperson), the immediate Past President, the President-Elect, the Secretary, the Treasurer, and Vice Presidents, one elected by each of the Regional subdivisions and an equal number of Vice Presidents elected at-large, and the Executive Director as an ex-officio member. BYLAW 3: TERMS AND DUES Section 1. Terms (a) The fiscal and tax year of the Institute is from July 1 through June 30. (b) The membership term is from July 1 through.
