SUBURBS AND USE OF SPACE IN AUSTRALIA
$37.50SUBURBS AND USE OF SPACE IN AUSTRALIA
Suburbs have been criticised as wasteful and boring by some, and praised as havens of creativity and sustainability by others. Stretton’s discussion of domestic economy and Trainer’s idea of retrofitting cities to become more sustainable take up these ideas, yet suburbs are still being planned within greater Brisbane, alongside densification of inner city areas such Woolloongabba’s Transit Oriented Development, and the proposed Kurilpa Masterplan.
How is space used in suburbs inside homes, in gardens, and in the broader neighbourhood? Consider changes in lot size, house size and use of external space in Australian suburbs over time. How does suburban space use differ from medium and high density housing, and what effect does this have on potential users of these housing types? Discuss examples from suburban and at least one other housing type to demonstrate your analysis.

A Prediction of Political, Economic, and Environmental Situations and Their Influence on Different Regions of the World
$30.00MAKE 3 PREDICTIONS… about situations or events you believe will have significant world regional or global effects during the next 5 to 10 years using what you have learned during the course this semester. Each of your predictions should be significant for 1 or more of the world regions we’ve discussed — or important for Planet Earth as a whole. In other words, your predictions are about things that matter for multiple countries in terms of their results or consequences.
One prediction must be environmental in nature. Events or situations could, for example, be related to: global warming, greenhouse gas emssions, desertification, salinization, biodiversity, or air, water, or soil pollution.
One prediction must be political in nature. Events or situations could, for example, be related to: increased or decreased tensions between countries (war, conflict resolution, boundary disputes, militarization or demilitarization) or between religious, ethnic, or other groups (intra-faith conflicts, religious fundamentalism, regional or global terrorism, internal political conflicts with regional spillover effects, nationalism, et cetera).
One prediction must be economic or social in nature. Events or situations could, for example, be related to: population and demographic change, urbanization or urban ways of life, cultural changes, conflicts between tradition and external influences, organized crime and illegal economic activities, globalization of language and culture, the economic rise or decline of regions, et cetera.
Please be advised: (1) Your 3 predictions must have different focal regions. In other words, although Southeast Asia might be your favorite region of all, only 1 of your predictions can be focused on it — the other 2 must be primarily linked to different world regions or to the planet as a whole
Assignment Outline
– Create a title that hints at your predictions or point of view
– Develop an introductory paragraph that provides the reader an overview of what you’ll be discussing
– Write 3 paragraphs, 1 for each of your predictions. For each prediction: (i) provide a background description of the current state of affairs; (ii) explain what you expect to develop or occur within the 5 to 10 years and why; and (iii) describe the consequences you anticipate in terms of how world regions and/or people will be affected (positive and adverse effects).
– Conclude your essay by discussing whether you feel optimistic, pessimist, or somewhere in between about the near future, based on your predictions.
Please choose 3 different countries from 3 different regions
Would King & Queen be liable to EFL
$35.00Topic: AUDITING AND ASSURANCE SERVICES
ASSIGNMENT QUESTION
Impulse Pty Ltd (Impulse) is an entertainment system manufacturer that was established in 2005. Your audit firm King & Queen have been the auditor of Impulse since its formation. The audit report for the year ended 30 June 2012 was unqualified. Although Impulse had been suffering liquidity problems with a drop in both debtors’ turnover and inventory turnover, King & Queen did not consider that any additional audit work was necessary in regard to the valuation of these assets. In August 2012, Impulse obtained a large loan from a finance company, Easy Finance Limited (EFL), to provide additional working capital. However, Impulse continued to experience severe trading problems and was placed in liquidation in December 2012.King & Queen has been notified by EFL’s solicitors that they are taking action against your firm based on the audit of the 30 June 2012 financial report. EFL claim that the cause of Impulse’s failure related to the inadequate provision for doubtful debts and a fall in the value of inventories on hand, and that these problems were evident at 30 June 2012, but had not been adequately dealt with in the financial report due to your negligence. They also claim that they would not have given the loan to Impulse if the 2012 financial report had been qualified.
Required
(a) Would King & Queen be liable to EFL? Provide specific case references to support your answer.
(b) Would your answer change if EFL had written to King & Queen advising you that they intended to make a loan to Impulse and were relying on the 2012 audited financial report to assist them in making their decision?
