These reading focus questions are of the "short answer" variety (3+ sentences with controlling topic sentence, supporting evidence, and a brief explanation/discussion). Responses that simply cut-and-paste from the readings without some attempt at proper citation will receive a zero. As always, grammar matters so be sure to check for random capitalization, run-on sentences, sentence fragments, and so on.

Assignment 1: Discussion— Job Costing Value
You seemed to develop significant interest with your talk on the future of cost accounting. Your boss has heard about the excellent presentation and you are hopeful that your early retirement will take place.

A call for help has come in and with new hope you rise to answer the bell. Harmony Organs has found that their profits have shrunk. They manufacture and install pipe organs world-wide. They have many parts that are custom made for each instrument. In addition, a major part of the expenses are for packing, shipping and installation.

Norma Faye Raye, the daughter of the CFO, Linda Kaye Raye was in your presentation and came downstairs after the online club meeting excited about activity-based costing (ABC). Linda Kaye thinks that this could be a key change to get costs under control.

You are required to elaborate on the value that job costing would bring to the company. The top managers have always wanted to see the profitability of each contract for the jobs they take. Discuss the advantages and benefits of job costing. Explain how job costing works. Include how job costing direct and indirect costs?

In addition to the above, introduce the company to activity-based costing. Explain how activity-based costing is different from job costing. Give examples of each costing approach and how they can be applied to different industries. Use the Argosy online library to locate at least one resource that will support your answer.

Write your initial response in 3-4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Assignment 3: Design with UML

Advanced Business Systems (ABS) is a consulting and staffing company providing specialized staffing and consulting services to clients in a variety of different industries. It has offices in major U.S. metro areas and has ongoing relationships with Fortune 500 companies. Its areas of services range from software development and network engineering to geo-information systems. It has fifty (50) plus regional offices in U.S. and five (5) offices in Canada. It plans to expand to other countries in the future.

When an ABS client company determines that it will need a contractor or temporary professional, it issues a staffing request against the contract it had previously negotiated with ABS. The contract manager in ABS reviews the staff request and ensures that the request is valid with its current contract with its client from the database.

• If the request is not valid, the contract manager sends the staffing request back to the client and explains the reasons and asks for the need for starting a new contract.
• If the request is valid, the contract manager will start recruiting requests by putting the request into its staffing database. The staffing request is then sent to ABS placement department.

In the placement department, the placement specialists will check the job requirements and candidates qualifications.

• If there is a qualified candidate, the specialist will notify the candidate and put a note in the database.
• If a qualified candidate cannot be found or not immediately available, the specialist notifies contract managers and recruiting department; the recruiting department starts search outside immediately.

The recruiting department normally has thirty (30) days to find an outside candidate and send the qualified candidates to the placement department to review. If an internal qualified candidate is confirmed with his / her availability, the confirmation will be sent to the arrangement department. In the arrangement department, the candidate works with the specialists to further confirm the placement details, such as starting date, location, compensation (e.g., per diem), and travel arrangement. The final confirmation will be sent to the client along with a billing schedule. If the client agrees with the arrangement, he/she acknowledges the arrangement with contract managers in the contract department. The contract manager then puts a memo into its database and closes the request.

Note: You may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Create a package diagram of the problem domain layer using the communication diagrams and the CRUDE matrix through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
2. Perform and explain the verification and validation walk-through of the package diagram.
3. Create a set of invariants for attributes and relationships and add them to the CRC cards for each class in the structural model using Object Constraint Language (OCL).
4. List the classes in the structure model. Choose one (1) class and create a contract for each method in that class. Note: Be sure to use OCL to specify the preconditions and the post conditions.
5. Create a method specification for each method using both structured English and activity diagram for the algorithm specification through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
6. Use at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
