Assume that ABC Company is a small specialty retail store.
Ratios are relevant when assessed over time or across companies. IBISWorld is a comprehensive resource containing market research and statistics, which can be used to compare ABC Company to the industry and leaders in the industry.
Below is a brief introduction to financial ratios using IBISWorld and screenshots that provide guidance for accessing IBISWorld via the Trident library.
Required
Part 1
First, choose three ratios from the background materials. ABC is a simple organization (see balance sheet in case), so pick ratios for which sufficient financial data is available. Verify that at least one of the ratios is included in the IBISWorld database.
Identify the name of the ratio, the formula, and show your computations.
Part 2
Next, respond to the following questions.
Comment on the purpose and information conveyed by each ratio.
What did you learn about ABC Company by reviewing the three ratios?
What is your conclusion about the solvency and efficiency of the company?
How successful is ABC Company relative to the industry average and leaders in the small specialty retail store industry? Write two paragraphs or more for this question. Refer to an actual ratio found in the IBISWorld database to support your conclusion.
A suggested approach to the assignment:
Step 1
Watch the brief introduction to financial ratios using IBISWorld as suggested.
Step 2
Access the IBISWorld database in the Trident library. See screenshots on this page for guidance.
Step 3
Choose three ratios from the background materials for which information is available in the ABC Company’s balance sheet. Make sure at least one of the ratios is included in the IBISWorld database.
A General Example Not Using to ABC Company data.
EFG is a business with $42,000 of current assets and $40,000 of current liabilities. Therefore, the current ratio is:
Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities Current ratio = $42,000 / $40,000 Current ratio = 1.05 (or 1.05 to 1 or 1.05:1)
EFG’s current ratio of 1.05 may be small or large depending on the industry. For example, which factors should be considered in interpreting the ratio?
Step 4
Use data from the module 2 case balance sheet to compute ratios. Identify each ratio and show the computations.
Step 5
Analyze and interpret.
Step 6
Locate at least one of the industry ratios computed above in the IBISWorld database to make a comparison to the ABC Company.

After studying the assigned reading Sociology: The Social Construction of Gender and considering the concept of “gender as socially constructed,” answer the following questions and prompts.
A) How does media create meanings about gender?
B) Provide examples of how this is manifested in our everyday lives.
C) Provide a link to a commercial/ad that stereotypes gender. Even though it is natural to find humor in some of these portrayals, in what ways is this problematic.
Also, consider that sex is a system of classification based on biology and physiology, while gender reflects the cultural meaning that is ascribed to a person’s sex, thus resulting in labels of “masculinity and femininity.” Furthermore, our biology is not distinctively male or female and a significant number of people are born “intersex” with variations in chromosomes or sexual organs. Most biological researchers agree on the estimation that intersex people are about as common as encountering someone with green eyes.
It is important to understand that masculinity and femininity are not oppositional, although it seems to be portrayed so in media. In Western society (such as in the U.S. and Western Europe) we typically adhere to certain ideas and values that define masculinity and femininity as we perform the roles. What if the list was different? All of us, in honesty, could reveal that we interchange among the qualities. Take a look at the list and answer the following questions:
Masculinity
strength
dominance
aggression
independence
empowerment
active
rational thought
production
breadwinner
subject
outdoors
technology
Femininity
weakness
submission
compliance/vulnerability
dependence
disempowerment
passive
emotion
consumption
nurturer
object
indoors
nature
Provide answers to the following questions or prompts in your assignment submission.
D) How is the list being currently challenged?
E) What traits do you have that are typically considered “on the list” of the other sex?
F) What examples do you see in your daily life of people challenging the historic list?
G) What about examples in media of characters or people challenging the list?
H) Finally, do you agree or disagree that gender is socially constructed? Provide evidence that backs your opinion.
“ Should homosexual couples be allowed to adopt children?”Discuss.
1) Who ruled Huron societies? How and why was that person chosen to be leader?
2) What roles did men have in Huron society? What roles did women have?
3) One historian has called Huron society a female dominated society. Do you agree, did the women have the power? Why or why not?
4) What could women do or not do in Western societies like the US?
5) How were women’s roles the same or different in the two societies?
