The purpose of this assignment is to apply concepts associated with leases and understand the disclosures presented in the Form 10-K. Select a publicly traded company and access its most recent financial statements, Form 10-K.  
Assume the company you work for is privately held and desires to go public in the next few years. To prepare for the initial public offering (IPO), the CFO knows that the company will have to change how it reports and discloses leases in order to comply with §842 of the FASB Codification. You are tasked with writing a memo to the CFO that summarizes the leasing issues you have learned from examining the Form 10-K. For this assignment, provide a 500-700-word summary and analysis that addresses the following items:
Review the balance sheet of the company to determine if financing leases are presented on the report.
Navigate to the notes to the financial statements and locate the company’s note on leases. Explain the details of the leasing transactions, financing or operating, based on the amounts and disclosures found in the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
How do the financing or operating leasing arrangements impact the overall profitability and debt position of the company? Sometimes ratio calculations help to find trends. Consider debt to assets, times interest earned, and vertical and horizontal analyses.
What information did the company provide about its leases in the notes? Why is that information important?
How does each company comply with the rules as provided in the FASB Codification?
Summarize the key points the CFO needs to know about lease disclosures to prepare the company to comply with §842.

This assignment is due on Sunday of Week Three.
This course is designed to provide hands-on experience that utilizes the learning from previous courses. With your knowledge of the client you have identified and the learning you have acquired to this point, identify a management problem you will investigate and for which you will provide recommended solutions. If you are working with a supervisor or manager, you may want to consult with them to complete this step.
Instructions: VERY IMPORTANT! If you have not already read the information in the Content Section (the link is located on the left-hand side of the classroom), you should do so without delay. You will find additional information there that will help you be successful in this class.
This paper will have four main parts: Identifying the Client
Identifying the Problem
Conducting a Need Assessment
Solution Identification
Part 1: Identify the Client: The first step is to identify a client for whom you will act as a consultant. The client can be your own work group or company, a family business you are involved with, a business you worked for previously, a volunteer organization you work for or have worked with, or a public company. The client you choose should be a small group or organization in which you can influence change in your role as a consultant. Please do not select “the military” or “the U.S. government” or “Giant XYZ Corporation.” However you may choose a small entity, such as a workgroup, within any of the larger organizations. For example, if you are in the military, focus on your group. If you select a Giant XYZ Corporation, select the department.
The length of part one is 2- 3 paragraphs. Part 2: Identify the Problem: In this portion of the paper your goal is to identify a problem or issue that is impacting performance in the organization. With your knowledge of the client, you have identified and the learning you have acquired to this point, identify a management problem you will investigate and for which you will provide recommended solutions. If you are working with a supervisor or manager, you may want to consult with them to complete this step.
Read the material at the sites listed in the Week 1 Content Section to help guide you in identifying a management problem in your work environment. This section is generally 1-2 pages.
Part 3: Complete a Needs Assessment by submitting a 1-2 page paper discussing the client’s needs with relation to the management problem you are studying.
Read the material at the sites listed in the Week 2 Content Section to help guide you in understanding needs in relation to your management problem.
Part 4: Conduct a Needs Assessment Conduct a Needs Assessment based on the identified problem. The questions below can help you conduct a needs assessment. This list is not all-inclusive and is a guide to support you when completing a Needs Assessment. They are provided to help you get started and inspire questions to explore. What is the problem?
How is the desired performance related to the current performance?
How does the desired performance relate to the mission statement?
Is the problem organization-wide or isolated to one or a few individuals?
Have organizational initiatives created the problem?
Does the problem relate to individual performance issues?
Is training adequate to support the desired outcome?
Is the issue related to job design?
What criteria are used to measure performance?
Is performance criteria appropriate, i.e. attainable and measurable?
Part 3 should be 1-3 pages depending on the management topic you identified. Part 4: Solution Identification
For solution identification read the material at the sites listed in the Week 3 Content Section to help guide you in identifying solutions to the management problem you have identified. Here are some tips to help you create your solutions:
Solutions should focus on the problem, be accepted by the team and be achievable.
Find opportunities to allow the individuals to meet to work out the differences, respectfully. Focus on strategies that can build trust in the relationship.
Look at the tasks that the individuals are responsible for and explore whether they have had adequate training or resources to be successful in performing their tasks (so the solution is to provide additional training and/or mentoring to help your folks be successful).
Evaluate the conditions under which these two work (are they sitting right next to the community coffee pot or the photocopy machine or with poor ventilation or no natural light? Is the environment affecting their behavior?) The solution may be to fix the problem by moving them or making some other change.
Is it financially feasible? Can it be completed in a reasonable time? Can it be done within financial cost structures? What is the return on investment?
If you get stuck in a section, below are some questions to get you unstuck. What are the goals of the company / division / workgroup? Do they align with the mission of the company?
Is there data to substantiate this or is it a perception of the manager?
Who is involved…the manager, the employees, stakeholders?
How long has this problem existed?
What and how are expectations and requirements communicated
When expectations or key deadlines are missed, what happens?
What factors contribute to the problem (politics, structure, decision-making factors)?j
Are technical skills or training contributing to the problem?
Are there ethical issues relating to the problem?
If so, how have those issues been handled to date?
These questions do not all need to be answered nor is this list all-inclusive; they are provided to help you get started and inspire your own questions to explore while completing this assignment.
When relationships experience roadblocks of any sort we can say there is a problem in the relationship. This is true for both personal and professional relationships. When identifying and analyzing potential problems one would start first with the symptoms of the problem. This is sometimes a difficult process as it can be easy to confuse symptoms with the problem. For instance, perhaps as a manager, you are dealing with a lack of acceptable productivity with two of the ten people who work in your area of responsibility. Maybe one of those people is cranky and difficult to work with.
In this case, the problem you need to solve as a manager is one of increasing productivity in your area to an acceptable level. Managers respond to this issue in many ways depending upon their skill, ability, knowledge and maturity. Some managers may transfer some of the work from the two problem employees to some or all the other employees. This solution will, in turn, produce additional symptoms that now are visible in the behavior and productivity level of the other eight employees in addition to the original two employees. You can see that this solution will only continue to affect productivity in a negative manner and never really solves the problem. Therefore, during the problem identification stage, one ought to be certain they are looking at the problem and rather than trying to reduce or eliminate symptoms.
Part 4 should be 2-3 pages discussing the Solution Identification.
Assignment Submission: Submit your final assignment in the assignment tab. Paper lengths depend on your management topic, but typically range from 8 – 10 pages. Submit your paper in a word document, upload to your Week 3 “Identify the Problem” Assignment folder in the classroom. This is due by midnight on Sunday of Week 3.

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
For this assignment, write a reflective essay on a recent purchase you have made in your personal life or
workplace. Using the consumer buying process as a framework, you should examine your experience during
the buying process and the factors that affected your purchase decision
Reflective writing is documenting the thinking process or revisiting a practical situation and reviewing your
experiences through the lenses of the concepts or theories you are studying. In other words, reflective writing
is recounting a particular experience and exploring how you have changed or learned from those experiences.
When reflecting, you begin by recalling a situation and the thoughts and feelings you encountered during the
experience. From there, you explore your beliefs, values, and attitudes that underpin these thoughts and
feelings. Lastly, as you study the subject, identify one or two salient points, concepts, or theories that you can
relate to your situation and discuss your insights.
It is essential to realise that while you are writing your reflection, the story of the incident or event is not the
focus. Instead, you should focus on the insights you gained from re-examining and documenting your reactions
and connecting the salient points, concepts or theories to real-life situations.
When writing your reflective essay, you are not expected to review all the chapters in the subject before
completing this assignment but rather focus on the relevant chapters indicated in the Key Information section
of this brief. Additionally, a reflective essay balances your personal observations, opinions, feelings, beliefs and
conventions of academic writing, such as crafting a thesis statement and using the salient findings, concepts, or
theories to support or further explain your reflection.
Reflection Essay
When writing your reflective essay, we suggest you use the 4Rs Model to Reflective Writing (Moon, 2006; QUT,
2010) to guide the organisational structure.
