Assignment

 

Watch the video, “Physical Development in Early Childhood,” @ http://media.pearsoncmg.com/pcp/pls_0558982484/index.html?wf=1&item=4 and choose one child to observe for motor development.

 

Discuss and defend the observation technique you used.

 

• Why did you select this observation technique?

 

• What did you learn?

 

• What other observation technique could you have used?

 

• What more do you need to know?

 

Explain the importance of direct observation to a coworker who is new in the early childhood field. Give specific examples of why it is important to conduct objective observations of young children.  

 

Student 1

 

I actually watch both of them. It seemed to me that they both was developed pretty well. The little girl seemed to be more advanced then Cody, but both of them was close in development.

I would use play base and social behavior. Play base observation is something that can be use for children with disabilities as well as for children with out. It helps to determine how well a child is developing as they grow and learn. Also using social observation is way to determine a child’s social skills. It is important to make sure that a child is developing socially, because they will need social skills in life. Another thing that can be done is through play you can learn how a child’s motor skills are developing.

I am kind of doing this backwards. I learned that both of them had good social skills and that both of them language was good. I seen that they played will with each other and the little girl was outgoing and she was a leader if you ask me. She didn’t mind taking risk.

I need to make sure that I pay attention a little bit better and pay attention to every little details. I am learning and I am still new this hopfully when it is all over I would have mastered it.

 

Student 2

 

I observed the girl. The video never said her name. She was very cute and outgoing. She played well with Cody. Her language was very clear and understandable. She remembered that they had a playground at school and even knew the color of the ——–. She noticed that Cody couldn’t kick the ball and she told Cody to throw it instead of kicking the ball. She had great motor skills. She gave pleasant instructions to Cody. Her physical skills were developed well. She could climb and she knew it was scary and she said it was scary to climb. But she climbed anyway. The girl was quiet bright and she has developed well for her age.

 I selected Social and Emotional development. Because the girl socialized well with Cody. Her emotions were happy and outgoing.
 I learned that the girl while playing on the playground took challenges to climb. Her motor skills and her social interactions showed that she has developed through the years well. That she will be developing more and more as she grows. Her influence on Cody was normal. They got along well. Her emotional status was good. She never got angry, and her behavior stayed the same. She is a happy child. She loved playing, and talking. I learned that the girl can speak and can say clear sentences. I learned that observing her I can document many good values without being bias. She demonstrated good social skills; her social interactions were good with another child. She was very alert. She was never aggressive. Her responses were good in language, motor skills, and cognitive development. I’ve also learned to never wear bright clothes to distract a child while you are observing them. Never star at a child for a long time. I should never to be bias of a child while observing the child.

    I could have used physical development. Psychical and motor developments are the most important in a preschooler’s development. Her motor and fine motor skills are two types of motor skills that need to be observed in preschool children. Motor skills involve large muscles. The child can jump, hop, run, climb, and skip. These motor skills keep preschooler’s psychical. Psychical is being healthy and able to move with activities.

 

     I need to know a lot since I’m a beginner at this. I need to take more classes and have more assignments so that I can get a clearer view of what to do with observations. I need to become a great observer. I will take more classes coming in the future so I can ace being an observer.

1. Which of the following statement completions is CORRECT? If the yield curve is upward sloping, then the marketable securities held in a firm’s portfolio, assumed to be held for emergencies, should

 

Answer

 

consist mainly of long-term securities because they pay higher rates.

 

consist mainly of short-term securities because they pay higher rates.

 

consist mainly of U.S. Treasury securities to minimize interest rate risk.

 

consist mainly of short-term securities to minimize interest rate risk.

 

be balanced between long- and short-term securities to minimize the adverse effects of either an upward or a downward trend in interest rates.

 

2 points

 

Question 2

 

A lockbox plan is most beneficial to firms that

 

have suppliers who operate in many different parts of the country.

 

have widely dispersed manufacturing facilities.

 

have a large marketable securities portfolio and cash to protect.

 

receive payments in the form of currency, such as fast food restaurants, rather than in the form of checks.

 

have customers who operate in many different parts of the country.

 

2 points

 

Question 3

 

Which of the following actions would be likely to shorten the cash conversion cycle?

 

Adopt a new manufacturing process that speeds up the conversion of raw materials to finished goods from 20 days to 10 days.

 

Change the credit terms offered to customers from 3/10 net 30 to 1/10 net 50.

 

Begin to take discounts on inventory purchases; we buy on terms of 2/10 net 30.

 

Adopt a new manufacturing process that saves some labor costs but slows down the conversion of raw materials to finished goods from 10 days to 20 days.

 

Change the credit terms offered to customers from 2/10 net 30 to 1/10 net 60.

 

2 points

 

Question 4

 

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

 

Other things held constant, the higher a firm’s days sales outstanding (DSO), the better its credit department.

 

If a firm that sells on terms of net 30 changes its policy to 2/10 net 30, and if no change in sales volume occurs, then the firm’s DSO will probably increase.

 

If a firm sells on terms of 2/10 net 30, and its DSO is 30 days, then the firm probably has some past-due accounts.

 

If a firm sells on terms of net 60, and if its sales are highly seasonal, with a sharp peak in December, then its DSO as it is typically calculated (with sales per day = Sales for past 12 months/365) would probably be lower in January than in July.

 

If a firm changed the credit terms offered to its customers from 2/10 net 30 to 2/10 net 60, then its sales should increase, and this should lead to an increase in sales per day, and that should lead to a decrease in the DSO.

 

2 points

 

Question 5

 

Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT?

 

A company may hold a relatively large amount of cash and marketable securities if it is uncertain about its volume of sales, profits, and cash flows during the coming year.

 

Credit policy has an impact on working capital because it influences both sales and the time before receivables are collected.

 

The cash budget is useful to help estimate future financing needs, especially the need for short-term working capital loans.

 

If a firm wants to generate more cash flow from operations in the next month or two, it could change its credit policy from 2/10 net 30 to net 60.

 

Managing working capital is important because it influences financing decisions and the firm’s profitability.

 

2 points

 

Question 6

 

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

 

Net working capital is defined as current assets minus the sum of payables and accruals, and any increase in the current ratio automatically indicates that net working capital has increased.

 

Although short-term interest rates have historically averaged less than long-term rates, the heavy use of short-term debt is considered to be an aggressive strategy because of the inherent risks associated with using short-term financing.

 

If a company follows a policy of “matching maturities,” this means that it matches its use of common stock with its use of long-term debt as opposed to short-term debt.

 

Net working capital is defined as current assets minus the sum of payables and accruals, and any decrease in the current ratio automatically indicates that net working capital has decreased.

 

If a company follows a policy of “matching maturities,” this means that it matches its use of short-term debt with its use of long-term debt.

 

2 points

 

Question 7

 

Other things held constant, which of the following will cause an increase in net working capital?

 

Cash is used to buy marketable securities.

 

A cash dividend is declared and paid.

 

Merchandise is sold at a profit, but the sale is on credit.

 

Long-term bonds are retired with the proceeds of a preferred stock issue.

 

Missing inventory is written off against retained earnings.

 

2 points

 

Question 8

 

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

 

Accruals are an expensive but commonly used way to finance working capital.

 

A conservative financing policy is one where the firm finances part of its fixed assets with short-term capital and all of its net working capital with short-term funds.

 

If a company receives trade credit under terms of 2/10 net 30, this implies that the company has 10 days of free trade credit.

 

One cannot tell if a firm has a conservative, aggressive, or moderate current asset financing policy without an examination of its cash budget.

 

If a firm has a relatively aggressive current asset financing policy vis-à-vis other firms in its industry, then its current ratio will probably be relatively high.

 

2 points

 

Question 9

 

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

 

Under normal conditions, a firm’s expected ROE would probably be higher if it financed with short-term rather than with long-term debt, but using short-term debt would probably increase the firm’s risk.

 

Conservative firms generally use no short-term debt and thus have zero current liabilities.

 

A short-term loan can usually be obtained more quickly than a long-term loan, but the cost of short-term debt is normally higher than that of long-term debt.

 

If a firm that can borrow from its bank at a 6% interest rate buys materials on terms of 2/10 net 30, and if it must pay by Day 30 or else be cut off, then we would expect to see zero accounts payable on its balance sheet.

 

If one of your firm’s customers is “stretching” its accounts payable, this may be a nuisance but it will not have an adverse financial impact on your firm if the customer periodically pays off its entire balance.

 

2 points

 

Question 10

 

Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT?

 

Commercial paper can be issued by virtually any firm so long as it is willing to pay the going interest rate.

 

Accruals are “free” in the sense that no explicit interest is paid on these funds.

 

A conservative approach to working capital management will result in most if not all permanent current operating assets being financed with long-term capital.

 

The risk to a firm that borrows with short-term credit is usually greater than if it borrowed using long-term debt. This added risk stems from the greater variability of interest costs on short-term debt and possible difficulties with rolling over short-term debt.

 

Bank loans generally carry a higher interest rate than commercial paper.

 

2 points

 

Question 11

 

Firms generally choose to finance temporary current operating assets with short-term debt because

 

Answer

 

matching the maturities of assets and liabilities reduces risk under some circumstances, and also because short-term debt is often less expensive than long-term capital.

 

short-term interest rates have traditionally been more stable than long-term interest rates.

 

a firm that borrows heavily on a long-term basis is more apt to be unable to repay the debt than a firm that borrows short term.

 

the yield curve is normally downward sloping.

 

short-term debt has a higher cost than equity capital.

 

2 points

 

Question 12

 

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

 

Depreciation is included in the estimate of cash flows (Cash flow = Net income + Depreciation), hence depreciation is set forth on a separate line in the cash budget.

 

If cash inflows from collections occur in equal daily amounts but most payments must be made on the 10th of each month, then a regular monthly cash budget will be misleading. The problem can be corrected by using a daily cash budget.

 

Sound working capital policy is designed to maximize the time between cash expenditures on materials and the collection of cash on sales.

 

If a firm wants to generate more cash flow from operations in the next month or two, it could change its credit policy from 2/10 net 30 to net 60.

 

If a firm sells on terms of net 90, and if its sales are highly seasonal, with 80% of its sales in September, then its DSO as it is typically calculated (with sales per day = Sales for past 12 months/365) would probably be lower in October than in August.

Question 13

 

A lockbox plan is

 

used to protect cash, i.e., to keep it from being stolen.

 

used to identify inventory safety stocks.

 

used to slow down the collection of checks our firm writes.

 

used to speed up the collection of checks received.

 

used primarily by firms where currency is used frequently in transactions, such as fast food restaurants, and less frequently by firms that receive payments as checks.

below average inventory turnover ratio.

 

low incidence of production schedule disruptions.

 

below average total assets turnover ratio.

 

relatively high current ratio.

2 points

 

Question 15

Carry a constant amount of receivables as sales decline.

 

Place larger orders for raw materials to take advantage of price breaks.

 

Take all discounts that are offered.

 

Continue to take all discounts that are offered and pay on the net date.

University of Phoenix Material Food Intake– 3 Days

Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper that addresses the following points about the 3-day
food intake information you recorded in iProfile:

Recorded intake of protein, carbohydrates, and
lipids

Which foods in your recorded daily intake
provide protein? Which provide carbohydrate? Which provide lipids?

Review how your recorded protein, carbohydrate,
and lipid intake compares with the recommendations of the dietary reference intake
(DRI). If your recorded protein-carbohydrate-fat intake was too high or too
low, which foods might you add or remove to achieve your goal and keep other
nutrients in balance?

Is the protein in each of the foods you ate
complete or incomplete, thus combining to become complementary? Why is this
fact important?

How much of your daily-recommended protein,
carbohydrate, and lipid intake did you achieve? Were you surprised by the
number? If your macronutrient intake is insufficient, what might you do to
bring it into the recommended range? Provide specific recommendations.

Macronutrient intake ranges

Is macronutrient intake within the recommended
range important? What are the effects of too much or too little of a
macronutrient? What happens if you consistently eat too little protein? What
happens if you eat too few carbohydrates? What happens if you eat too few
lipids?

Fiber intake ranges

Does your fiber total meet 100% of the
recommendation for you as calculated at the iProfile website?

Do you think your intake was too high, too low,
or just right? Provide a rationale.

Does your diet meet the minimum number of
servings of foods from each fiber-containing group? If not, which of the
fiber-containing groups—fruits and vegetables—fell short of the recommended
intake?

Which specific foods provide the most fiber in
your days’ meals? Which provide the least? Identify trends in your food choices
that might affect your fiber intakes.

Dietary modifications

Are you able to identify any patterns or trends
within your diet? If so, what are they?

What changes might you make among your
vegetables, fruits, meat and meat alternatives, or grain choices to increase
the fiber in your diet?

Do your meals include fiber-rich bean dishes,
such as chili, beans in a salad, or split-pea soup?

If you drink fruit juice instead of eating whole
fruit, what might happen to the fiber content and calorie content in your diet?

How might insufficient or excessive amounts of
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, or fiber contribute to health or illness?
Provide examples.
