Essay Topic

Sources: Bocaccio’s The Decameron

Pick one of the following topics: gender, religion, honor, nobility in Boccaccio’s The Decameron. Trace one of these topics through at least 3 of the novellae (stories) and explain how Bocaccio and his contemporaries would have understood one of these ideas during the early Renaissance (14th – early 15th century). What do these stories tell us about the importance/meaning of your chosen topic? Does this topic seem to have different meanings or components in the early Renaissance? Explain in your conclusion how Bocaccio’s understanding of your chosen topic is different from our modern understanding. Feel free to use stories from The Decameron we did not discuss in class.

Gary is a seven-year-old child who has been taken into custody for the murder of two schoolmates with the handgun of his mother’s boyfriend. Gary has been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and his mother is currently a heavy drinker and drug user. The police have been to Gary’s apartment several times because Gary’s mother’s boyfriend is frequently violent toward both of them, and Gary was once removed for over a month to live with his grandmother. Since kindergarten, Gary has shown slow progress and poor social skills. He never does homework, frequently fights with other children, and is known to be a bully.

Yahoo Finance is also a great resource for the project and you will use it for the graph. http://finance.yahoo.com (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. Input the above ticker symbol in the search bar and it will take you to the company page.

Your project must be typed using 1.0 spacing and a font of 12 or smaller.

Be sure to cite any and all outside resources used including the 10-K, financial websites, etc. Footnoting is an effective method of citation and looks very nice. I prefer you use footnotes for citations.

I do grade for spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. so if these are not your strong points, you may want to consider going to the Learning Resource Center for assistance. Their information is available under the Free Tutoring announcement on the homepage.

I prefer you answer the questions in numbered format with a response to each of the questions below. Be sure to address all questions and include analysis when requested.

This project is an INDIVIDUAL assignment. Sharing of answers is not allowed and you must do your own analysis. The analysis portion of the project is worth quite a large portion of the grade and it is expected that it will be in your own words.

1. Describe the history, development, and primary operations of the corporation. What do you find interesting about the company? Why did you choose this company over the other option? Obtain this information from the 10-K, company website, Google, etc. (Limit discussion on #1 to one page maximum). 5 points
2. What is the purpose of the section of the 10-K entitled “Management Discussion and Analysis”? Discuss this portion of the 10-K. What is interesting? What can you tell about the company and their management? 5 points

7. Has there been a growth in profits (Net Income) over prior years? Discuss and include the net income numbers for the last two years. If you do see growth, why? If not, why not? Obtain the earnings per share amounts from the face of the income statement and include these in your discussion. A discussion is required here about the company income fluctuations, EPS, and what has been going on with the company to contribute to income fluctuations. 4 points
8. What was the major source of cash outflows during the year? List the item and amount. What does this tell you about the company operations? Be careful here and make sure the number you are discussing is a CASH FLOW number. Remember, net income is accrual not cash. Depreciation is a non-cash number.

You will have to look in the notes to the financial statements to find details.

If so, why? 3 points
12. Ratio analysis – calculate AND discuss the following ratios for the most recent two years. I am looking for quite a bit of discussion here. After calculating the ratios, explain whether the company is performing better, similar to, or worse in comparison to the prior year (FOR EACH RATIO). Do not just state that they are doing better, because it is higher, you must explain why. The goal is to demonstrate that you know what the ratio means. What do the ratios mean?
