Please include your references for EACH discussion WITH the answer, NOT in a separate page.
Make sure that you answer ALL of the question within the discussion. These are easy, NO plagarism. I will check.

Pyramid Printing Companys Controller, Sally Sound, has been approached by the Production Manager, Darrell Dailey, regarding the cost of quality, given the spoilage experienced in April 2017. Darrell indicates that improvements in the proofing process would be required in order to mitigate the risk of incurring similar, significant quality costs. As the presses are beginning to show their age, the company has to dedicate more resources to quality initiatives, Dailey indicated.
What are the four types of quality costs? Under which quality cost category does the cost of enhancing the proofing process, as described above, fall? For the most effective quality cost benefit, under which category of quality costs should resources be concentrated?

Pyramid Printing Companys Controller, Sally Sound, and the Production Manager, Darrell Dailey, continue to discuss potential operational improvements. Darrell recently attended a seminar on Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory management methods. He mentions to Sally that colleagues who also attended the seminar recently implemented JIT and realized tremendous benefits in minimizing inventory investment. Sally, we may even be able to sublet the warehouse space if we are able to curtail inventory investment, Darrell offered.
Pyramid Printing now has an MRP planning system. Compare and contrast JIT and MRP.
Name an advantage and a disadvantage of JIT and MRP.
How would a conversion from MRP to JIT be accomplished?

Pyramid Printing Companys Controller, Sally Sound, and the Production Manager, Darrell Dailey, once again discuss potential operational improvements. After successfully implementing JIT and subletting the warehouse space, Pyramid was flush with cash. As a result, Darrell inquired whether it was time to purchase another press. Henry Hines, Pyramid Printings Sales Manager, suggested that the market be tested to ensure the press would be full in terms of capacity prior to use.
Sally and Darrell then discuss their choice of decision model; Sally prefers net present value, and Darrell prefers internal rate of return. Consider the use of these models. Which model is better for use? Are there circumstances one must consider regarding the outcomes of these two decision models? Do these models both deliver the same level of accuracy for decision making?

You are conducting research for a client that is a government entity. Your task is to check on the following costs to see if they are allowed according to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as indirect recoverable costs by federal research grants: bad debts, recruiting costs, and security costs that are deemed reasonable and necessary. Prepare a memo to your client stating each costs section on the OMB website and whether the costs are allowed or not. If the cost may be allowed, explain the circumstances that the cost may be allowed. The OMB website is https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/information-for-agencies/circulars. Suggest management costing tools that could help your client save money to offset nonrecoverable costs. Could the balanced scorecard provide long-term cost savings to your client?

You have been hired as a CPA to perform an audit of an entity. You do not have any evidence that suggests the organization is a government organization. No evidence suggests that the government has the power to dissolve of the entity. All net assets are allocated to among different entities, which do not revert to a government. Additionally, it does not seem that the organization has the power to enact a tax levy. Analyze the organization to determine if it is governmental not-for profit entity or nongovernmental not-for-profit entity. To which standards should the financial statements adhere and why?
