For the assignments in this course you will be developing a comprehensive Network Implementation Plan document which is the final Key Assignment deliverable.

Throughout this course, you will be working on several aspects of network implementation that will result in a complete Network Implementation Plan document for a scenario organization of your choosing. You will work extensively with the concepts of good network design and implementation practices in this project. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for that project.

Target Organization Selection

The first step will be to select a scenario organization as the target for your network implementation plan. This scenario organization will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course, and should conform to the following guidelines:

• Nontrivial: The selected organization should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the networking principles in the course assignments.

• Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization to allow focus on the assignment tasks without significant time required for domain education.

• Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the organization because this will be an important part of the process.

Select a scenario organization that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for approval.

• Target Organization
  • Give a brief description of the organization.
  • Include the organization’s size, number of locations, and other information that is necessary to describe its networking needs as they relate to this project.
  • Material can be taken from the approved proposal that you submitted to the instructor.
  • Be sure that this organization is approved by the instructor.

• Proposed Network Solution
  • Describe the network configuration that will address the needs of the organization.
  • Topic coverage should include DNS, DHCP, network protocols, WINS, IP Routing, and Certificate Services.
  • Include justification of the selected configuration and why it suits this organization well.

Imagine that you have decided you need a new car, but not any car will do; you have decided to purchase the car of your dreams. Conduct some research as to the cost of this car.  You have determined in this imagined scenario that you could afford to make a 10% down payment.  You can borrow the balance either from your local bank using a four-year loan or from the dealership’s finance company.  If you purchase from your dealership’s finance company, the APR will be 10% with your 10% down and monthly payments over three years. However, the dealership will give you a rebate of 5% of the car price after the three year term is complete.  You want the best deal possible, so you consider the following questions:

• What type of car have you selected, and what will it cost?
• What is the interest rate from your local bank for a car loan for four years?
• What will your payment be to your local bank, assuming your 10% down payment? Be sure to use the formula provided in Chapter 4 and show your work. How much will that car have cost in four years?
• What will your payment be to the dealership finance company assuming your 10% down payment? Be sure to use the formula provided in Chapter 4 and show your work. How much will that car have cost in 3 years?
• Which is the better deal and why?

there is two question and each of answer should be less than 200 words. 

This is about opinion therefore does not need any work site. 

1.

Redcliffe company is a fertilizer manufacturer.  Its sales declined greatly this year due to the passage of legislation outlawing the sale of several Redcliffe’s chemical fertilizers.  In the coming year, Redcliffe will have environmentally safe and competitive chemicals to replace these discontinued products.  Sales in the next year are expected to greatly exceed any prior year’s.  The decline in sales and profits appears to be a one-year aberration.  But even so, the company president fears a large dip in the current year’s profits.  He believes that such a dip could cause a significant drop in the market price of Redcliffe’s stock and make the company a takeover target.

To avoid this possibility, the company calls in Stacy Clark, controller, to discuss this period’s year-end adjusting entries.  He urges her to accrue every possible revenue and to defer as many expenses as possible.  He says to Stacy, “We need the revenues this year, and next year can easily absorb expenses deferred from this year.  We can’t let our stock price be hammered down!” Stacy didn’t get around to recording the adjusting entries until January 15, but she dated the entries December 31 as if they were recorded then, Stacy also made every effort to comply with the president’s request.

In 200 words or less, provide the ethical considerations, if any, of (1) the president’s request and (2) Stacy’s dating the adjusting entries December 31?
