I need a 759-1000 word essay on the following including references.

Imagine you are a manager of a DVD manufacturing plant. Your facility manufactures DVDs for sale to distributors and you’re seeing changes in the industry, especially with the advent of new technologies such as Blu Ray and the rising popularity of streaming video such as Hulu and Netflix. It seems as though Blu Ray discs, which your firm doesn’t manufacture, are taking over the shelf space at stores everywhere.

Describe the four stages of the product life cycle.

DVDs and DVD players were introduced to the public just 20 years ago; describe what stage of the product life cycle DVDs are currently in and why you feel this to be true, incorporating some of the changes in the way people watch movies.

The Helen Shaggaggy Irrevocable Trust is a calendar year, cash basis taxpayer (EIN: 11-321654). The trust was created under the last will and testament of Helen Shaggaggy, who died on November 11, 2009. For the 2018 tax year, the MSIT’s books and records reflect the following transactions:

Receipts

            Dividends (qualified)                                                              $30,000

            Gross Rents                                                                               25,000

            Interest

                Bonds with the City of Troy                                                 25,000

                U.S. Series HH government bonds                                       20,000

Capital Gains

            RLD, Incorporated stock received from the Estate of Helen Shaggaggy

                Sale price – 12/2/2018                                $48,000

                Less: Basis (FMV on 11/11/2009)              <30,000>         18,000

Disbursements

            Trustee commissions (50% paid from income, 50%

                        paid from principal)                                                        5,300

            Legal Fees                                                                                 28,800

            Contribution – Michigan Humane Society (paid from

                        principal)                                                                       12,000

            Depreciation – rental property                                                    2,000

            Real estate tax – rental property                                                 4,000

            Repairs and Maintenance – rental property                                4,200

            Tax return preparation fee                                                             500

            Federal quarterly estimated tax payments                                  9,000

The legal fee was a legitimate trust expense incurred because of the choice of trust form.  The Trustee allocated the legal fee to the various income classes as follows:

            Dividends                                                                                $         0

            Taxable interest                                                                         16,000

            Tax-exempt interest                                                                    6,000

            Rents                                                                                           6,800

                        Total Legal Fee:                                                          $28,800

The propriety of the legal fee allocation is NOT in question.  The rental property is a commercial building located at 111 Lloyd Avenue, Troy, Michigan 48098.  Under the terms of the trust instrument (i.e. Helen Shaggaggy’s will), the $2,000 depreciation reserve equals the available tax depreciation deduction for the year. The trust instrument also specifies that all capital gains are allocable to principal and that the trustee has the discretion as to the amount of trust income distributed to William Shaggaggy, the sole individual beneficiary, as well as the charities specified in Ms. Shaggaggy’s will.  During 2018, the trustee distributed $24,000 of income to William and $12,000 to the Humane Socierty.

Please prepare the 2018 Form 1041 and any other form or schedule required for the HSIT Trust.

“Trustee”                                                         “Beneficiary”

Harry Bank and Trust                                     William H. Shaggaggy

3232 Mack Avenue                                         8675 Jenny Lane

Detroit, MI 48041                                           Troy, MI 48007

write my assignment 15073

I will pay for the following essay Mahathir Mohammed. The essay is to be 1 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

At one point, Mahathir Mohammad believed in providing the economic freedom and education to the people of Malaysia while on the other hand, he presented an authoritative way to spread regulations and new order. After careful assessment of the development and leadership that he undertook for the Malaysian people, I consider him as a hero who understood that the correct manner to spread development was by authority and practice of power within legal terms (Ridley).

However, there are some of the controversies that have been made associated with the name of Mahathir Mohamed. These included the suspension of media channels that were spreading negative agenda against Mahathir Mohammed. It was merely because the competitor political parties wanted to diminish the developmental procedures of Mahathir Mohammed (Ridley).

As a contradiction, it was noted in the book entitled, “The golden apple:&nbsp.changing the structure of civilization” written by Edgar J. Ridley that Mahathir Mohammed could be an inspiration for the government of United States. It is because that he made use of effective leadership to unite people of his own country at the first place. This clearly shows the readers that Mahathir Mohammad proves to be a leader who is anti-terrorism.
