John Snow began working for Castle BlackInc. (CBI) on November 1, 2017. He was hired as a data entry clerk where he processed customer complaints and entered them into a database. Mr. Snow was earning $1,200 per week, not including vacation pay.
Aemon Targaryen is the general manager of CBI. On November 7, 2017, Mr. Targaryen and Mr. Snow signed an agreement whereby Mr. Snow would be paid time in lieu for any overtime that he worked. It was a very busy time for CBI and Mr. Snow worked many hours of overtime. From November until the end of February 2018, Mr. Snow worked a total of 200 hours of overtime. In February, Mr. Snow took 40 hours of lieu time and therefore has 160 hours remaining.
On March 1, 2018, Mr. Snow was promoted to data entry manager. In addition to keeping some of the data entry work that he previously performed, Mr. Snow is also responsible for recording employee absences and lateness in his work area. He reports this information to Mr. Targaryen and Mr. Targaryen makes the decision regarding discipline and termination. Mr. Snow now earns $1,550 per week, not including vacation pay.
According to CBI policy, Mr. Snow is no longer entitled to payment of overtime or any lieu time because he is a manager. In addition, under the terms of his agreement with Mr. Targaryen, Mr. Snow lost all rights to the lieu time that he earned in his previous position upon being promoted.
Mr. Snow finds that the pace of work has increased. He is now working 60 hours per week on average. From March 1, 2018 to July 15, 2018, Mr. Snow has not had any time off work. He is working seven days a week, every week. As a manager he is not paid overtime but his employer does pay him time and a half on public holidays. It is difficult to work on public holidays since his children are home; he would like to spend time with them but he needs the money and is appreciative that his company gives him more than straight time for public holidays.
On July 15, 2018CBIs main client,The Westeros Company (TWC), announced that it is no longer going to use CBIs services. TWCs business accounts for 85% of CBIs sales. Although CBI is trying to gain new customers, the loss of business has been devastating for CBI.
To avoid huge costs of terminating the employment of its employees, CBI has decided to embark on a new strategy. It has decided to eliminate all company health benefits effective September 1, 2018. In addition, all managers will have a 20% pay cut. Mr. Snow will therefore earn only $1,240 per week.
On November 1, 2018, Mr. Snow was informed that he was required to agree to a new oral agreement permitting CBI Company to eliminate any unused vacation. Given that it was a busy year, Mr. Snow never had the chance to use any of his three weeks of his vacation.
Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse. On November 2, 2018, CBI lost its second major client which accounted for 10% of CBIs business. Although some new clients were acquired, overall sales are down 75%.
On November 3, 2018, all 500 employees of CBI were informed that their employment would be terminating immediately. Mr. Snow was provided with 2 weeks termination pay in lieu of notice. However, CBI filed for bankruptcy on November 4, 2018 and Mr. Snow was unable to recover any monies owing to him.
Mr. Snow has approached you for help. Your job is to present his case, in writing, to the Employment Standards Tribunal.

Describe, critically assess and evaluate the principal methods of analysing company accounts as an outsider to the company.

Indicate the major shortcomings that are inherent in such processes and propose contemporary
analysis methods that will limit these shortcomings.
Illustrate your answer with worked examples of dynamic analysis for any two listed companies
This assignment is essentially a critical analysis/evaluation of methods of analysing corporate
financial statements. Traditional approaches, such as ratios, trend/horizontal, vertical comparisons
should be briefly described and techniques applied to the financial statements selected (2 from 6).
This should lead to preliminary conclusions on the financial performance and strength of the
companies. However, in additional to demonstrating knowledge and application of these
techniques, a critical analysis/evaluation of the technique is also required and this will significantly
increase the marks earned for this section. The evaluation is supported by reference to relevant
academic sources and other research findings. A brief summary of this section would be useful.
The assignment continues with brief descriptions of contemporary analysis methods. The likely
starting point is the use of Economic value added, but it is then for the writer to decide the breadth
and depth of methods described. Again, where appropriate, methods are applied to the companies
selected above, but it is the critical analysis that earns most of the marks.Please follow the sample provided.

Same Subject, Different gaze on two different artworks

Same Subject, Different gaze on two different artworks: Edgar Degas’s Green Dancers(1834-1917) and Henri de toulouse lautrec’s Ballet Dancers(1864-1901) Go to these two websites for the two painting’s details: – https://www.artic.edu/artworks/9148/ballet-dancers – http://paintingandframe.com/prints/edgar_degas_green_dancers-1819.html – Same Subject: Dancers – Different Gaze: Edgar Degas’s Green Dancers(1834-1917) is more “still” bringing a silent elegance to the beauty of the dance perhaps ballet?(to me it reminds me a soft flute tunes playing) While Henri de toulouse lautrec’s Ballet Dancers(1864-1901) is a moving almost interacting artpiece, seemingly caught on the moment giving a powerful almost overwhelming strength to the piece (to me it reminds me of black swans intense background orchestra music) – give formal elements analysis and also deeper reading of the two pieces – have to have a lot of similar elements too of the two pieces
