Finance simulation

Provide a brief overview of New Heritage what does the company need to do to succeed?
What is the role of each division within New Heritage? How are the roles of the divisions related?
In year one, five project proposals were reviewed. What proposals did you decide to move forward with in year one and why?
How did the decisions made in year one impact New Heritage in year two? Why?
Provide a brief summary of the subsequent proposal decisions made in years 2-5, and explain why those decisions were made
At the end of the simulation, you now can see how all of the decisions impacted New Heritages performance over the five year period. Armed with this knowledge, if you were to play the simulation a second time, would you make any decisions differently? Why?
Provide a brief reflection on your experience in the simulation- for instance, were you able to make decisions in the simulation with ease, or were the decisions challenging? Why? Please include any other thoughts or comments in this section on the overall experience

Interpersonal Interactions in Film

Interpersonal Interactions in Film
Films can hold up a mirror to us about ourselves and our relationships, but they can also demonstrate an exaggerated, stereotypical, simplistic, or dysfunctional view of our interactions. This Assignment provides you with an opportunity to apply what you are learning about interpersonal relationships as portrayed in a movie of your choosing. You will evaluate communication skills as you analyze the movie. Choose a movie that allows you to analyze significant interpersonal relationships.
Consider what the movie is about, who the characters are, and who holds the significant relationships. Analyze the verbal and nonverbal communication present in the major relationships of the movie. Choose a scene in which two characters from different cultural backgrounds (race, age group, nationality, etc.) interact with each other, and analyze the communication that takes place in that scene. Perhaps the two characters are having a deeply emotional conversation (anger, sadness, fear, etc.) that warrants your consideration. Apply lessons learned in this course, and from your own experience, to your analysis of the scene and interactions.
This week, you will start the analysis portion of your film of choice, focusing on the interpersonal interactions it portrays. You will also apply the knowledge you have gained on interpersonal communication to a relationship in the movie you chose.
To prepare for this Assignment:

    Choose a film that contains a significant interpersonal relationship and watch it, looking for a scene that has an extensive conversation between two people. This should be one scene, not multiple ones throughout the movie.
    Read Chapter 3, Section 3 Functions in Language
https://open.lib.umn.edu/communication/chapter/3-2-functions-of-language/
    Read Chapter 4 Nonverbal Communication in Communication in the Real World: An Introduction to Communication Studies. 
https://open.lib.umn.edu/communication/part/chapter-4-nonverbal-communication/

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that includes the following:
    A brief paragraph that describes the scene that you have chosen, and the characters involved. This should give an overview of what took place in the scene.
    An analysis of the verbal and nonverbal communication that took place between the characters in that scene. You should be looking at the different verbal communication concepts and nonverbal communication types you see taking place in the scene. You will want to write about these, pointing to the specific cues from the scene that are showing the concept or type of communication that you identified.
    What was the outcome of the conversation? Was it positive or negative? Could anything have been done to make it better?
Please Note: Be sure to reference at least one scholarly or popular source to support your answer(s).

Systematic and Unsystematic Risk

elaborate on the following in a minimum of 400 words

Systematic and Unsystematic Risk
explain the 3 difference between the two risk and explain an example

example:

The risk is the degree of uncertainty in any stage of life. The systematic risk applies to the industry or market segment-wide risk. Systematic risk, also defined as ‘undiversifiable, variable, volatility or market risk. This factor impacts the entire market and not just a single sector. This form of danger is both uncertain and inevitable.

Unsystematic risk is peculiar to an organization or industry. It is often recognized as a specific, nonsystematic, or diversifiable risk. It is sometimes also called residual risk. To an investment group, this can be minimized by differentiation. The unsystematic risk may be defined as inherent volatility in a business or sector expenditure. Forms of unsystematic risk involve a new industry player with the opportunity for a substantial customer base from the business (Difference between Systematic and Unsystematic Risk- 2019).

Top 3 differences between the two risks

    Systematic risk implies the opportunity for a business or market-wide failure. Unsystematic risk implies risk associated with business or defense.

    Systematic risk, if occurred, becomes out of control, and unsystematic risk is somewhat controllable. (Beja, 72)

    Macroeconomic conditions cause systematic risk. However, unsystematic risk occurs due to microeconomic conditions.

    Systematic risk impacts multiple equity securities. Conversely, unsystematic risk impacts a company’s shares.

    The systematic risk may be eliminated by taking protection measures such as asset distribution, as compared to unsystematic risk, which can be waved off by selective diversification of portfolios.

What is the cause/effect of each risk?

Systematic risk is caused by non-organizational causes. Both investments, or shares are subject to systemic risk and, therefore, a non-diversifiable risk. Systematic risk cannot be differentiated by buying several shares. Systematic risk distresses a significant number of business or industry-wide companies.

Unsystematic risk can arise due to microeconomic conditions, including labor strikes. That is attributable to controllable causes such as undesirable goods. Unsystematic risk disturbs the working of an organization (Koskei, 20).

Example

2008’s Great Recession is a crucial illustration of systematic danger. People who participated in all sorts of stocks see their stock prices dropped owing to the market-wide economic case. The great recession influenced complex securities. Thus, investors holding securities are negatively impacted relative to those of larger equity allocations.

Unsystematic threats are primarily linked to organizational decision mistakes. For example, a technology company might conduct market analysis and anticipate interest for smaller mobile phones and watches to grow in the year to follow. Development lines are modified, and money is diverted to smaller devices.

However, Next year the business understands that buyers are more inclined towards larger watches and phones. Therefore, the company’s product and equipment later sell at a big loss or went unsold. All this eventually damaged the stock value of the company. Thus, all other enterprises in the technology industry may well be doing good, although this business would backtrack due to weak visionary forethought. (Ross, 2019)

Conclusion

In financial accounting, avoiding both systemic and unsystematic risk may be challenging. External factors cause systemic risk. These factors are inevitable and uncontrollable. They often influence the whole economy but can be partly limited by asset selection and applying hedge strategy. Unsystematic risk takes birth mostly from internal causes which can be managed and easily thwarted, primarily by portfolio diversification.
