EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
Being able to distill information quickly and accurately is an important study skill. Academic, peer-reviewed articles provide you with an abstract, but an abstract just gives you a general idea whether the article is worth skimming or reading. An executive summary of a business report, however, is a document that—while concise—should pro-vide enough information to allow executives to act on it without necessarily having to read every word of the report. If you are asked to summarize a news article, for example, you need to provide the gist of it to the reader who then ought to be able to clearly understand the original without having to read it. As a rule of thumb, executive summaries tend to be nutshell versions, boiled down to approximately 10 per-cent, of the original. A 100-page report might result in an executive summary of up to ten pages. If the report has five sections, the executive summary needs to address each of these sections, too. Think of the executive summary as a miniature version of the original document, following the structure but leaving out details, examples, and other supporting information. Another benefit of being able to summarize skillfully is that you verify your understanding of the concepts in your reading. If you can’t summarize the original accurately from memory, in your own words, you probably need to reread it to understand it better.
Instructions
*Select a substantial news analysis or feature article in a reputable business publication, i.e., The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Bloomberg Businessweek, Money, Forbes, The Financial Times, or the business sections of big U.S. dailies (e.g., The New York Times, The Washing-ton Post, or U.S. News & World Report).
*Choose an article of length and substance, at least 2,000 words long. Tip: If you access the article in a research database, a word count will be provided for you.
*Write an executive summary, retaining the basic structure of the original, choosing precise, specific words for conciseness, while omitting details and examples that only serve as supporting evidence or explanation. Do not distort the meaning or inject your own opinion. Your summary can be up to 200 words long, i.e., two short paragraphs.
*Provide the source and other citation information for your assignment (Reference Page)
*Submit your executive summary as a memo. (Review and duplicate the sample from your textbook Chapter 13, Model Document 13.2 page 474). For better viewing review “pdf” attached.

Bobby (yes, the same Bobby from last week!) is now a widower. Carla’s yoga business went half to him and the other half was evenly split between their three children. Bobby has no interest in running a yoga studio and most of the children feel the same way.
Tiffanee, his youngest, was also a teacher at the yoga studio and wants to make some changes, however. She wants to add a hot yoga room and an outdoor garden area for moonlight yoga sessions. Tiffanee is getting frustrated in the process because she must get all other owners to agree to any changes in the business.
What are some of the options that Tiffanee might use to make running the business more efficient? Try to keep the focus on options we have covered, but feel free to share any additional suggestions you might have based on your own experiences. Have fun with this.

Bobby (yes, the same Bobby from last week!) and his wife Carla had a great day. Their grandson turned 5 and they were able to go to his birthday party, as were most of the family. It was a wonderful birthday party with happiness all around. On the drive to their second vacation home, Bobby told Carla how much he loved her and loved the family they had raised in a heartfelt extemporaneous speech that would have put Shakespeare to shame. Carla said ‘ditto’ because that was an old inside joke from when they first started dating.
Suddenly a drunk driver ran a red light and smashed into the car! Carla died (there’s going to be death in this course) in Bobby’s arms before the ambulance arrived. Bobby sustained only minor injuries. Carla owned an investment account, retirement account, and recently created a life insurance policy. She was (dead people don’t own anything) also the owner of a yoga studio where she taught most of the classes herself. Carla’s will has a few contradictions to her beneficiary designations.
Instructions:
Beyond the beneficiary designation contradictions, what are some of the estate planning issues that will/might be faced in settling Carla’s estate?
This would be  evaluated based on the connections you make between Carla’s estate and some of the estate planning issues will/might be faced.
