Think about the three methods to solve these types of equations, graphing, substitution, and elimination.
Which method works best for you? Why?
How do you think this method of solving problems can be applied to your current life or future career? Include at least one example. Refer to Ch. 3, “Systems of Equations,” for ideas.
The Red Flags Rule, a law enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), requires certain businesses and organizations — including many doctors’ offices, hospitals, and other healthcare providers, to develop a written program to spot the warning signs, or “red flags” of identity theft; a legal and ethical violation.
Utilize online resources and the Purdue Global Library to research the Red Flags Rule
Create an Identity Theft Prevention Program for a healthcare setting of your choice, based on the requirements of the Red Flags Rule. Be sure to include the following key components in your prevention program:
Procedures put in place to detect red flags in your day-to-day operations
Descriptions of how you plan to prevent and mitigate identity theft
Procedures for how you will respond when you spot the red flags of identity theft, provide examples
Descriptions of the training you will provide to the staff

FOR EXTENDED LITERATURE REVIEW STUDENTS: Proposed approach and Methods (approximately 800 words)
· Research design- here, you write about how this will be a theoretical (desk-based) design. You briefly discuss this type of research here. This would be a good place to cite- find a citation from a research methods book or paper that shows the purpose of literature reviews.
· Data gathering technique- how you will be doing a systematic review of the academic literature. Literally, how you will find the material (e.g., which databases/journals you will use, what search terms will you use, what inclusion/exclusion criteria will apply). Also, if you are going to use input from professional bodies like CIPD, how will you find this? What’s your strategy?
· Uses and limitations- what this type of research can offer vs. what it cannot. This is also a good place to cite- find a citation from a research methods book or paper that shows the benefits/drawbacks of literature reviews.

The Manchester Crane Survey, 2021 produced annually by Deloitte provides a useful market insight into construction and property development activity in Salford and Manchester. The report monitors new starts on site, planning applications and permissions and refurbishment schemes to enable a thorough analysis of the quantity and type of new floorspace which has (and is in the pipeline) to be delivered over the next few years. Whilst construction activity is resilient, this can vary quite significantly between the different sectors. The outlook, whilst remaining positive states that there may be an element of “levelling” off in the future.
A new client has recently contacted your property development consultancy for advice on a potential development opportunity in East Manchester that has been brought to their attention. Whilst they have an established, successful manufacturing business, they have no experience in property development, or any active involvement in the real estate market. They believe that property development is a “high risk/ high reward” activity and would like to seek professional advice before they decide if this venture is the right opportunity for them.
The client has been sent property particulars from a local agent for the sale of land of a redundant public house situated on Ashton Old Road, Manchester (M12 6LP), close to Manchester City Centre and the Etihad Stadium. The current owners submitted plans and an application for planning permission for a scheme of apartments, with ground floor commercial use and have received full consent. This development opportunity is to be sold freehold, with vacant possession and the agent has confirmed that there are no onerous covenants or restrictions on title.
The client are very keen football fans and would like to pursue a development opportunity in this part of the city, as they consider East Manchester to be an “up and coming” area. However, they are a little concerned that the real estate market in Manchester/ Salford may now have reached its saturation point. To make progress, your consultancy has now been instructed to research the NW real estate market, advise on the residual value of the land, and to appraise this opportunity.
The advice will be presented in a report, which will be shared with the client’s investors and must cover all the following:
1. Research the NW real estate market, with a specific focus on East Manchester to provide a full market commentary, which should also highlight any factors, which could have either a positive or negative impact on the GDV or Development Costs for the site. (ILO’s 1, 7; 750 words)
2. Prepare a fully costed valuation to calculate your opinion of the residual land value based on the information that has been provided by the local agent (please see below). The valuation should be presented on a separate excel spreadsheet, but your report must include a clear explanation for the client of the method of valuation and your main assumptions for the GDV and Development Costs. (ILO’s 2,5,7; 750 words)
Site area: 1,500 sq m
Location: Ashton Old Road, Manchester, M12 6LP
Tenure: Freehold
Planning: Full planning permission has been granted
Proposed scheme: Demolition of existing, derelict public house and construction of a 9 storey, new build, single apartment block comprising 54 apartments (12 x 1 bedroom (50 sq m), 39 x 2 bedroom (75 sq m) and 3 x 3 bedroom (100 sq m). Ground floor commercial space, to a “shell” specification of 7,500 sq ft (which may be capable of sub- division)
S106 contribution: £500,000 for a placemaking strategy, in lieu of any affordable housing.
Demolition costs: £75,000 – £100,000
Finance: Available at 7% interest
Build period: 24 months
The market value for apartments in East Manchester can be researched from databases and local property agent’s websites. Resources such as Co- star, can be used for comparable evidence for the commercial space. You will need to make your own reasoned assumptions on BCIS build costs, professional fee’s, developers profit, project contingency and any other required costs.
3. The client is aware that property development is a an inherently high- risk activity and that they are inexperienced in this sector. They would like your report to include an analysis of the systematic and unsystematic risks that they may incur if they were to proceed with the purchase of the land and development of the proposed scheme. This section also include advice on how these could be mitigated. (ILO’s 1,3,5; 500 words)
4. It is expected that that this will be a good opportunity and that the client should now proceed with a purchase of the land. They would like your reasoned advice on how the scheme should be marketed and for any ways in which they could potentially increase the GDV or reduce the Development Costs to increase their profit. (ILO’s 1,3,7; 500 words)
The date for the residual valuation will be the submission date for this coursework assessment. You can make assumptions but please ensure that these are reasonable and have been clearly explained for the client.
This is a fictional property development project, so you should not contact Manchester City Council for any information regarding the hypothetical planning consent. However, the local plan, strategic regeneration framework and LPA website can be reviewed.
The client will be provided with your advice in the form of a report, and this should refer to the relevant valuation and property development procedures which are currently in place in England. Please ensure that all the required points in the client’s brief have been fully addressed and that you accord with the required word count for each specific task.
The residual valuation should be prepared on a excel spreadsheet. The submission will not be complete until both elements have been received. Additional tabs can be used for any supporting information.
Please support all work using appropriate references. You should also use the APA 7th Harvard Style in your submission.
