Hi,
I am requested to make a presentation for my internship in finance department, I need a short presentation like 5 slides is enough, writing an introduction, Company
Overview, Internship Role and Responsibilities and Key Learnings. I will attach in here my internship final report and you can use it to take the information from it.

All MBA level assignments must be prepared professionally. Students must
apply sound thinking and conduct research. This means students should
review the Wall Street Journal for information and analysis. An
introduction, body and conclusion are required as well as a list of
references.
Things Not to Do
1. Do not discuss, mention or download anything about the political situation
in Venezuela. Your paper must be all about Finance – Money!
2. Do not give vague, dumb generalities, such as, “They should develop a plan
to buy oil.” The plan is YOUR JOB.
3. Venezuela is not a friend of the US. Getting the oil into the US will be
difficult. Find out how!
4. Do not go to Google, punch in Venezuela and download garbage.
5. Do not define oil or give a history of Venezuela.
6. Do not express any unfounded opinions. Your job is to produce a plan to
MAKE MONEY from Venezuelan oil.

1. Taveras Corporation currently operates at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses job-order costing with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:
Machine-hours required to support estimated production185,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost$ 2,960,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour$ 2.00
Required:
Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $2,900. The following information pertains to this job:Direct materials$ 1,334
Direct labor cost$ 957
Machine-hours used76
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.

Assume a company started and completed numerous jobs during July—two of which were Job Y and Job Z. The company uses two departmental predetermined overhead rates. The rate in the Machining Department is based on machine-hours and the rate in the Assembly Department is based on direct labor-hours. The following additional information from the month of July is available for the company as a whole and for Jobs Y and Z:
MachiningAssembly
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead$ 48,000$ 30,000
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour$ 1.50 Estimated variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 2.00
Estimated total machine-hours to be used12,000 Estimated total direct labor hours to be worked 10,000
MachiningAssembly
Job Y Machine-hours36 Direct labor-hours 30
Job Z Machine-hours40 Direct labor-hours 60
How much manufacturing overhead is applied from the Machining Department to Job Y?

You have the task of implementing a change in your team’s work process. You have a very short deadline from your boss and you personally agree with the change. Half of your team is on board and ready to go. The other half is very sceptical about the change. Applying the module content to set up an appropriate strategy, in a 500 word-post explain what do you do.
Please note that I work in the accounts department at a Cruise Port. Please relate this paper to my job. Also, please thoroughly read the attachment before you start the paper.

Scribners Corporation produces fine papers in three production departments—Pulping, Drying, and Finishing. In the Pulping Department, raw materials such as wood fiber and rag cotton are mechanically and chemically treated to separate their fibers. The result is a thick slurry of fibers. In the Drying Department, the wet fibers transferred from the Pulping Department are laid down on porous webs, pressed to remove excess liquid, and dried in ovens. In the Finishing Department, the dried paper is coated, cut, and spooled onto reels. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data for March for the Drying Department follow:
UnitsPercent Completed
PulpingConversion
Work in process inventory, March 13,900100%80%
Work in process inventory, March 317,000100%80%
Pulping cost in work in process inventory, March 1$ 1,755
Conversion cost in work in process inventory, March 1$ 1,053
Units transferred to the next production department150,500
Pulping cost added during March$ 72,270
Conversion cost added during March$ 47,338
No materials are added in the Drying Department. Pulping cost represents the costs of the wet fibers transferred in from the Pulping Department. Wet fiber is processed in the Drying Department in batches; each unit in the above table is a batch and one batch of wet fibers produces a set amount of dried paper that is passed on to the Finishing Department.
Required:
For March:
Compute the Drying Department’s equivalent units of production for pulping and conversion.
Compute the Drying Department’s cost per equivalent unit for pulping and conversion.
Compute the Drying Department’s cost of ending work in process inventory for pulping, conversion, and in total.
Compute the Drying Department’s cost of units transferred out to the Finishing Department for pulping, conversion, and in total.
Prepare a cost reconciliation report for the Drying Department.
