Submit your assignment using the assignment link in the course shell. This homework assignment is worth 100 points.  Use the following information for questions 1 through 4: The Goodman Industries’ and Landry Incorporated’s stock prices and dividends, along with the Market Index, are shown below. Stock prices are reported for December 31 of each year, and dividends reflect those paid during the year. The market data are adjusted to include dividends.  Goodman Industries    Landry Incorporated        Market Index Year  Stock Price  Dividend  Stock Price  Dividend  Includes Dividends 2013  $25.88   $1.73   $73.13   $4.50         17495.97 2012  22.13    1.59     78.45    4.35         13178.55 2011  24.75     1.50     73.13    4.13         13019.97 2010  16.13     1.43     85.88     3.75           9651.05 2009  17.06     1.35     90.00     3.38           8403.42 2008  11.44     1.28      83.63     3.00           7058.96  1. Use the data given to calculate annual returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index, and then calculate average annual returns for the two stocks and the index. (Hint: Remember, returns are calculated by subtracting the beginning price from the ending price to get the capital gain or loss, adding the dividend to the capital gain or loss, and then dividing the result by the beginning price. Assume that dividends are already included in the index. Also, you cannot calculate the rate of return for 2008 because you do not have 2007 data.)  2. Calculate the standard deviations of the returns for Goodman, Landry, and the Market Index. (Hint: Use the sample standard deviation formula given in the chapter, which corresponds to the STDEV function in Excel.)  3. What dividends do you expect for Goodman Industries stock over the next 3 years if you expect the dividend to grow at the rate of 5% per year for the next 3 years? In other words, calculate D1, D2, and D3. Note that D0 = $1.50.  4. Assume that Goodman Industries’ stock has a required return of 13%. You will use this required return rate to discount the dividends calculated earlier. If you plan to buy the stock, hold it for 3 years, and then sell it for $27.05, what is the most you should pay for it?

Find a technical journal for your current or planned field of work, and look for an article that has graphs, charts, or tables in it. Select  of the graphic presentations and represent them in a different format. (If something is presented as a Pie Chart, consider using a Bar Chart or other format). You must create  graphic presentations. Remember to include the reference for the journal source that you choose or a copy of the original graphic representation you presented in a different format. Follow the “good” style formats referenced in “An Engineer’s Guide to Technical Communication” chapter 9, starting on page 158.

Deliverable Length:   When you were attending AIU, you thought of yourself being an undercover narcotics officer or working for a bank as a fraud investigator, but you were initially exposed to the role of a victims\’ witness assistant during the Criminal Careers course at AIU. Then, your best friend became a victim of a crime of violence after being stalked for several months, and that incident changed your life. As you provided comfort and support to your friend during the judicial process, you were exposed first-hand to the role played by the victims\’ witness assistant during the criminal judicial process. The role of the victims\’ witness assistant changed you, and you decided then that you wanted to pursue a career as a victims\’ rights advocate somewhere. It has been a year since you were able to start your career in the victims\’ rights advocate position, and every day, you feel that you are making a difference in society and your jurisdiction.The prosecutor for whom you have been working as a victims\’ witness assistant has had several calls from victims of stalking. Some cases seem more serious than other cases; however, one case that no one in the office thought was serious resulted in the victim’s death. Everyone thought the couple was just going through a difficult breakup. This case had a tremendous impact on the entire office—especially you.To help make sure that the office does not minimize a potentially dangerous situation again, the prosecutor has asked you to put together an intake, evaluation, and assessment instrument to be used in taking information on stalking situations. Be sure to check stalking statutes, and cite the elements of the crime of stalking in your documents. Complete the following:Your forms should reflect contemporary information and the legal definition of the crime of stalking and what factors distinguish the most serious situations.
