Worksheet for You Decide Name: Jennifer Carr Course Code ACC555 Grade ___/ Date 12/16/2012 Questions: Q1: Discuss how the SEC has influence (if any) over the audit of Smackey Dog Foods, Inc. Solution: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an agency of the federal government and was established to help investors obtain reliable information upon which they could make informed investment decisions. Under the Securities Act of 1933 and The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, all companies filing registration statements and subsequent reports, must also file audited financial statements. Since the only companies filing statements are those that seek to issue new securities to the public, privately held companies are not held to the audited financial statement requirement setup by the SEC (Arens, Alvin, Elder, and Beasley, 2010, p. 31). Smackey Dog Foods is a privately held company and is not required by the SEC to file audited financial statements as mentioned above.

In this case the Supreme Court stretched the Commerce Clause to rule that wheat grown on Filburn’s farm, that never left the farm, and didn’t enter the market place or interstate commerce, was subject to provisions of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. The Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution is found in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 states, “Congress has power… to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.” It seems simple enough, straight forward and only sixteen words. Compared with the other powers granted, E.G. : The power to raise and support Armies and maintain a Navy and establishing the District of Columbia, the commerce clause didn’t raise much anti-federalist ire (Levy and Mellor 38). The main purpose of the Commerce Clause, it seems, was to prevent the balkanization of trade among the states following the Revolution by vesting Congress with the means to establish uniform policies for interstate trade (Levy and Mellor 38).

temporarily began issuing) in order to grow hemp in support of the war effort. The hemp plant produces strong industrial fibers that at this time were in short supply because most had to be imported from overseas. The film shows a history of hemp and its’ products, how it should be properly grown, and how it can be processed into rope, cloth, cordage, and other products. I pulled this quote from the 13 minute film Hemp for Victory, which is freely available to watch on YouTube.com or download from Archive.org. “American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries.”(Evans, 1942).
Ch. 6 To Farm Or Not Too Farm Summary Diamond first compares a few geographical areas that have fairly fertile climates to allow the reader to understand the much asked question in this chapter, “Why did any of them adopt food production at all? (Diamond 104)” By “them” Diamond is focusing in on the hunter-gatherers of the Southwest Asia Fertile Crescent, Southwestern Europe, The south African Cape, South west Australia, and California. Diamond says that humans did just one day decide to start farming because nobody had ever come up with the idea of planting and harvesting crops. instead, farming is the product of thousands of years of techniques that have evolved food production into what it is today.

Singer’s Quest: An Examination of “Famine, Affluence and Morality” Robert Black PHI 208 Ethics and Moral Reasoning Instructor: Zummuna Davis March 11, 2013 In 1971 Peter singer wrote that people and governments had a moral obligation to endeavor to aide famine victims in less fortunate nations. In his article “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” Mister Singer put forth the position that if we can stop the wrong, or famine in this case, without sacrificing any comparable moral position than we must do this (Singer 1972). In this paper the writer will show if this is a valid argument or if there is another more valid. In Mister Singer’s article he argues that closeness has no bearing on moral obligation: we have as much a duty to help someone across the world as someone in our own backyard. This is a very strong argument in favor of helping: if suffering can be stopped then you must put forth the effort regardless of proximity.
