Describe your capstone project’s findings and explain how the agency will implement any changes based upon your work. Share your thoughts on the capstone experience with your classmates.

What do your capstone experiences have in common? What reasons explain the differences in your capstone? How will you use what you learned from this experience in your future career?

To complete this assignment, review the Capstone Discussion Rubric document.

PEER 1

My capstone finding was based on finding a solution on the current day opioid crisis. Also looking at how this shaped the society we live in since they were introduced into it. The agency I worked with that talked about what they thought was the biggest problem involving the opioid crisis was the lack of resources and also how hard it is for people to kick a habit for opioids. Not only the physical, but also the mental. This creates more crime because there is need that can be filled , but there is not unlimited money. This leads to crimes in the community.

With the project’s findings, the recommendation I found can help enhance the services and also the solution in finding the base problem for those who use opioids. Drug addiction councilor works hard to find solutions to help those not to reuse.
This capstone was a bit complicated and it took determination to complete it. Using this agency helped me understand what some people go through from both sides of the scenario. This will be very helpful in the future as a probation officer.

PEER 2

My final project was based on finding a recommendation to facilitate the excessive deployment of tactics and strategies that were affecting the retail community of the selected agency (Loss prevention). The agency stated that the countermeasures (Receipt and bag checks) (restriction of merchandise) being deployed on their behalf was starting to irritate the retail community as customer theft was being excessively monitored. To facilitate this issue, research was conducted which discovered employee theft of being a detrimental factor besides consumer theft that was influencing the shrinkage of inventory in the retail industry. Therefore, the recommendation for the selected agency was to equally distribute the deployment of tactics and strategies for consumer and employee theft to improve the guest shopping experience for customers.

With the projects findings, the recommendation can help enhance the way loss prevention deploys their daily duties while understanding the stigma that can be established if countermeasures are not conducted effectively. Loss prevention specialists that work for the selected agency have the ability to enforce employee theft to reduce the excessive deployment of such countermeasures, to only use them whenever it is necessary. The capstone project was very lengthy and complicated at times, but it did help me realize how much determination I retain in myself. Working with the selected agency gave me the ability to acquire an insight into the job duties that are conducted daily, which was important to know for future reference.

I’m studying and need help with a Business question to help me learn.

Hello,

I need three responses of at least 200 words each for the below students discussions for this week. Also in the bold below are the questions the students at answering.

Consider the following statement: “The size of a company is not important. What does matter, whether it is a large corporation or a small business, is the capital structure – it always has and always will.”

Do you agree or disagree? In 300 words, support your position.

Student one:

“The size of the company is not important. What does matter, whether it is a large corporation or a small business, is the capital structure – it always has and always will.” Interesting quote here that needs further research to determine its validity. In order to determine which side to lean toward, let’s start by identifying what Capital structure is and understanding how capital structure is used.

Capital structure is the combination of debt and equity used by a company to finance its overall operations and growth (Tuovila, 2019). Bonds and loans are examples of Debt, while common stock, preferred stock or retained earnings refer to equity. Additional debt such as working capital requirements is also part of the capital structure. Capital Structure is equity and debt used to buy assets for your company in order to make income. Debt consist of borrowed money that requires to be paid back to the lender, typically with interest. Equity consist of ownership rights in the company and the debt-to-equity ratio is useful in determining riskiness levels of the company’s borrowing practices.

Understanding the use of capital structure will help answer whether the size of the company matters. Debt is one of the two main ways a company can raise money in the capital markets. Companies benefit from debt because of its tax advantages; interest payments made as a result of borrowing funds may be tax deductible (Tuovila, 2019). Debt also allows a company or business to retain ownership, unlike equity. Interest rates determine just how much debt a company will get into. Equity does not need to be paid back and only returns dividends to their investors if the company makes profits.

After reviewing what capital structure is and understanding how it is used leads me to believe that the size of the company does not matter, and that equity capital and debt capital ratio will determine just how successful a company will be. Capital structure will make or break a company.

Student two:

The statement has some flaws but for the most part I think it is correct. Capital structure is defined as the debt and equity of a company that help the business operate. (Cornett, 2018) The size of a company does not matter when thinking of using this structure. The mere fact is a capital structure is the most important thing to have in business is accurate. In general, when operating a business it is very important to know the different areas of financial information is needed. Unlike financial structure, which includes short-term debt, long-term, and shareholders funds, the capital structure is made up of long-term debt and shareholder funds. (Peavler, 2018) Capital structure should also not be confused with Assets Structure. Assets Structure is the balance of total assets used in the company. (Peavler, 2018) While the three financial structures are important in there own way, knowing the different purposes for all of them is pertinent to its use.

When a company focuses on the capital structure they are investing in increasing the market price of shares and securities. The capital of a company contributes in its development to the companies ability to manufacture building, buy new equipment, and update their technology. (Peavler, 2018) Without determining the companies capital they and unable to determine if there is money to support new projects. If a project does not have the money required based on the capital structure analysis, the project would not proceed. As we mentioned last week, when a company does not focus on the in-flow and out-flow of cash, things can absolutely get messed up and lead to bankruptcy or corrupt decisions. The difference between a small business company and large business company can be anywhere from the supplier credit and supplier credit and firm liabilities respectively. (Peavler, 2018) For any type of business, it is important to manage the money in multiple ways to ensure its success.

Student three:

The size of a company and the capital structure it operates under are both things that are likely to evolve over time. While they are both important to the shareholders and stakeholders of the company, the capital structure is more important. The capital structure of the company provides security or risk. It also provides for opportunity, growth and stability. A company must have capital to fund their operations and growth. A proper capital structure should provide stability to the company’s operations and the opportunity to grow. This capital is often a combination of equity and debt and the ratio will change based on the availability and needs of the company (Cornett, Adair & Nofsinger, 2015). As companies grow, they are subject to both a change in ownership structure and capital structure. The combination of a company’s size, ownership structure and capital structure position the company for future growth as well as establishes their exposure for risk and bankruptcy (Chen, 2002).

A company must decide on a capital structure that fits their current and future requirements. The current size of the company and the capital needs will create opportunities and challenges to sourcing the required capital. New companies are often required to rely on equity and personal assets to provide capital as they do not have the credit or assets to borrow against. Once a company is established and is in the process of growing, the capital needed to support that growth will often outpace the available equity. This requires additional debt in the capital structure and the opportunity to get it. The interest paid on this debt provides tax advantages for the company. In cases that involve ownership by private equity or venture capital of mid-sized companies, the debt is often offered by the holding company. This offers shareholders the advantage of earning both interest and tax benefits (Lindsay & Craig, 2002). A company’s capital structure becomes more complex once it grows to a large or multi-national company. This creates an opportunity for a company to use a lot of different methods to raise capital. There is also many opportunities for the company’s ownership structure to shift.

I’m studying and need help with a Mathematics question to help me learn.

This is a question on my homework and I keep getting the wrong answers. Please help me with detailed answers to all four parts.

Consider an annual plant which germinates in the spring, blooms in the summer and produces S seeds in the autumn.

A fraction f of these seeds germinate the next spring, ?ower and produce more seeds. Of those that do not germinate, a fraction g germinate the second spring, ?ower and produce more seeds. There are no seeds that survive more than two winters.

(a) Let Pn be the plant population in year n. Write a second order linear di?erence equation satis?ed by Pn. Explain the role of various terms occurring in the equation.

(b) Find the general solution of this equation.

(c) Suppose that in the ?rst summer you have 80 plants and no extra seeds. Determine the solution Pn after n years as a function of S, f and g.

(d) Let f = 0.014, g = 0.006. Discuss the limiting behavior of the general solution as a function of S. How large should S be to ensure that the plant population eventually increases in size?

I don’t know how to handle this Health & Medical question and need guidance.

The health issue is the attached documents.

MAPP Model Needs Assessment and Identification of an FOA Presentation In this assignment, you will complete a public health needs assessment MAPP matrix template. Next, you will utilize the FOA that addresses the public health intervention that addresses your chosen topic. You will then create a PowerPoint presentation that demonstrates your chosen public health intervention and provides information about your MAPP matrix and the pertinent FOA.

Part I: Conduct an MAPP Matrix Needs Assessment

Conduct a public health needs assessment using the MAPP model. It will result in a MAPP matrix, which identifies a public health need in which you are personally interested.

All MAPP information can be obtained from the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) Web site at the following:

• National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). (2012). Mobilizing for action through planning and partnerships (MAPP). Retrieved from http://www.naccho.org/topics/infrastructure/mapp/i…

Four assessments of the MAPP model and the issues they address are described below:

• Community Themes and Strengths Assessments: This assessment results in a deeper understanding of the issues that residents feel are important by answering the questions:

a. What is important to our community?

b. How is quality of life perceived in our community?

c. What assets do we have that can be used to improve community health?

• Local Public Health System Assessment (LPHSA): This assessment focuses on all the organizations and entities that contribute to the public’s health. The LPHSA answers the questions:

1. 1. What are the components, activities, competencies, and capacities of our local public health system?
   2. How are the essential services being provided to our community?

• Community Health Status Assessment: This assessment identifies priority community health and quality-of-life issues. Questions answered include:

a. How healthy are our residents?

b. What does the health status of our community look like?

• Forces of Change Assessment: This assessment focuses on identifying forces such as legislation, technology, and other impending changes that affect the context in which the community and its public health system operate. This answers the questions:

a. What is occurring or might occur that affects the health of our community or the local public health system?

b. What specific threats or opportunities are generated by these occurrences?

Part II: Identify Funding Opportunity

After you have completed your public health needs assessment matrix template, you will create a presentation that addresses the following:

• Identify your chosen public health intervention that relates to your MPH coursework.
• Explain how (using the MAPP Model) you completed the matrix template to identify your chosen public health intervention.
• Explain why the intervention is an important initiative.
• Identify whom the intervention will assist (target audience).
• Explain the general requirements of the FOA.
• Describe, at a high-level, your intended approach in response to your chosen public health intervention, if awarded this grant.

Develop an 8–10-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format. Be sure to use speaker notes at the bottom of each slide to provide detailed information. If you know how to insert an audio file, feel free to use that approach as well. Your goal is to fully inform your audience about your chosen public health intervention and chosen FOA. Utilize at least 3–5 scholarly sources in your research and be sure to include a references page. Cite all sources on a separate page using APA standards. Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_W3_A2.ppt.

Submission Details:

• By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.
• On a separate page, cite all sources using the APA format
