Australian student, just 550 words + calculations. As you can see there are 4 companies in it but we only allowed to choose one company and choose the MYERS company. This assignment is to be completed in teams of five students. All questions, must be attempted. The assignment must be submitted before the above due date to avoid any late penalties. Please make sure you follow the usual assignment presentation guidelines especially those relating to presentation of written work, late policy and academic integrity.

Forming Teams: You must discuss the selection of teams with your lecturer, who may decide to allocate you into teams or he/she may decide to form teams using a random process. Any work which has been copied or shared between teams will result in a Fail grade for all students concerned. So please make sure that the answer to this team assignment is your own work and not copied from any source. Please note that a word limit exists for all questions. You must indicate your word count at the end of each question. Submissions that exceed the word count by more than 10% will cease to be marked from the point at which that limit is exceeded. Submission: The assignment will need to be submitted electronically through the student portal – use the link under “Assessments” to submit the information.

Instructions on the Assignment: Referencing: As you will be using a company’s Annual Report as the basis for answering many of the questions asked in this assignment, you need to ensure that you acknowledge this in your assignment. In fact, any sources that you use need to be acknowledged in order to avoid plagiarism. Information on referencing can be found in the Guidelines for Referencing and Presentation at the Kaplan website.

In-Text Referencing and the Reference List: Sources of information must be cited both in the body of the text (in-text referencing) and the end of the assignment (reference list). Failure to do so will result in penalties. Remember that when referencing an Annual Report it is a corporate document that does not have a particular author but it will still require referencing any time you use information from it. Any other documents or books or other references you use will also require referencing. Penalties Regarding Referencing: No in-text referencing – deduct 1 marks. Some in-text referencing only – deduct 1 mark. No reference list – deduct 2 marks and Incomplete reference list – deduct 1 mark.

Policy on Late Submissions: Late submissions will automatically be penalised at a rate of 5% per day for each of the first 2 calendar days it is late, and 10% per calendar day for any subsequent days. Submissions will NOT be accepted if more than 5 calendar days late, unless formal, prior approval has been given. Extensions are normally only granted in cases of exceptional and genuine hardship (this does not include inconvenience, poor planning, pressure from work or work commitments). Students seeking an extension of seven calendar days or less (from the original due date) must complete an Application for Extension of Time for Submission of Assessable Work form and lodge it at least 48 hours BEFORE the due date for submission. Applications for extensions of 7 or more calendar days are made using the Special Consideration Process.
