![]() "And, if we nominate a lawless, selfish, failed politician like Donald Trump - who lost the House, the Senate, and the White House - we all know Joe Biden will win again." "President Biden can't solve these problems - or won't," Hurd said in his announcement video. He announced his candidacy criticizing both Biden and Trump, saying the president wasn't up to securing the U.S.-Mexico border, combating fentanyl smuggling that has led to epidemic of American overdoses and violent crime and homelessness in the country's cities. Hurd was hoping to resonate with voters seeking a pro-business Republican with a strong national security background who was also unafraid to seek bipartisan consensus. The 46-year-old has long been a fierce Trump antagonist, even encouraging the then-Republican presidential nominee to leave the 2016 race when the "Access Hollywood" tape in which Trump brags about sexually assaulting women was made public in the final weeks before Election Day. Hurd opted not to seek reelection in 2020, saying he was pursuing opportunities outside Congress "to solve problems at the nexus between technology and national security." Last year, he traveled the country promoting his book "American Reboot: An Idealist's Guide to Getting Big Things Done." He represented Texas' then-most competitive district, which was heavily Hispanic and stretched from the outskirts of San Antonio to El Paso, encompassing more than 800 miles of Texas-Mexico border. When he didn't make the second debate, Hurd stuck a different tone, writing on X that "we narrowly missed the cut for the second debate and our campaign is at an inflection point."Ī clandestine CIA officer who worked in Pakistan, Hurd served three terms in the House through January 2021 and was the chamber's only Black Republican during his final two years in office. This is an unacceptable process for a presidential election," he said in a statement. The RNC standards are "arbitrary, unclear, and lack consistency. Hurd was initially defiant about missing the first debate, arguing that the Republican Party blocked him for refusing to sign a pledge for its presidential candidates to support the eventual primary winner, even if it was Trump. Hurd wasn't invited to the Milwaukee event after falling short of Republican National Committee minimums on support in the polls and sufficient numbers of donors to his campaign. Hurd ending his campaign follows another Republican candidate, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who became the first presidential hopeful to suspend his campaign shortly after failing to make the first debate stage. "Thank you for your support and confidence. ![]() ![]() "America is at a crossroads and it's time to come together and make Joe Biden a one-term president," Haley wrote on X in response to Hurd's endorsement. Hurd failed to qualify for both the first GOP debate in Milwaukee in August and the second debate the following month in Simi Valley, California. He leaves the race barely three months later, after failing to gain traction as pragmatic moderate who pledged to lead the party away from Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement. Hurd was the last major candidate to join the already crowded Republican primary field when he announced his run in late June. ambassador to the United Nations under Trump and governor of South Carolina, "has shown a willingness to articulate a different vision for the country than Donald Trump and has an unmatched grasp on the complexities of our foreign policy." "While I appreciate all the time and energy our supporters have given, it is important to recognize the realities of the political landscape and the need to consolidate our party around one person to defeat both Donald Trump and President Biden," Hurd wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. WASHINGTON - Former Republican Texas congressman Will Hurd suspended his presidential bid on Monday and endorsed fellow GOP primary candidate Nikki Haley, officially abandoning a brief campaign built on criticizing Donald Trump at a time when his party seems even more determined to embrace the former president.

![]() Channeling carefree fun reminiscent of Future Nostalgia, Lipa felt like a perfect fit for the song's retro disco relief. That is, until Ronson slid into Dua Lipa 's DMs to recruit her for the track. Īccording to Robbie, Barbie cast members rehearsed to the temporarily lyricless song, following only its whirling beat. "It became the Barbie anthem on set," Robbie shared with Rolling Stone. Caroline Ailin also contributed as a songwriter to what would become Barbie 's defining lead single. Ronson and producer Andrew Wyatt - who would end up scoring the entire film together - got to work, crafting the fluttery, up-tempo beat to "Dance The Night" to power the film's core dance scene. Rehearsals were scheduled to hit the floor in two weeks. ![]() ![]() With all this in mind, there was more news: Barbie would feature a highly-choreographed dance number, and Ronson was tasked with putting together the film's central groove. Speaking to the New York Times, Gerwig described the film Barbie as an "anarchic dance-party emotional meltdown spiritual quest." In line with the movie's chaotic good, she and Ronson wanted the soundtrack to be many, many things: poppy, playful, whimsical, nostalgic, and most importantly, full-hearted. Ronson happily signed on as the soundtrack's executive producer - in his own words, becoming " the Robin to Batman " - and he hopped on a preliminary Zoom with Gerwig and Baumbach while they were in England gearing up for production.Īs they brainstormed for Barbie The Album, Gerwig sent over a playlist of some of her favorite songs, which featured everything from Andrea True Connection to music from Xanadu, to what Ronson personally dubbed "Peloton pop." Spitballing ideas evolved into a crystal pink vision for Barbie The Album, which would be 17 tracks in total and featuring everyone from Lizzo to FIFTY FIFTY to Tame Impala to even Gosling himself. "I was like, 'If I don't get this gig, this is gonna be my favorite movie of the year.'" ![]() "I don't read a lot of scripts, but it was just everything I want in a movie," Ronson remembered in a Rolling Stone profile. Drakoulias shared details about the project, and Ronson was sold. The text came from producer George Drakoulias, who previously worked with Barbie co-writer Noah Baumbach on critically acclaimed films like Marriage Story and White Noise. Ronson's nearly year-long work on Barbie The Album kicked off when he checked his phone and saw a one-word text : "Barbie?" The highly anticipated Barbie soundtrack is helmed by Mark Ronson, the seven-time GRAMMY-winning producer known for working with artists like Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse, and Miley Cyrus. Out July 21, the fantasy comedy spotlights Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Mattel's classic Barbie doll couple, alongside a slew of other major stars including Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, and plenty more. From floods of #barbiegirl TikToks to ubiquitous brand collaborations, there's been no shortage of almost alarmingly efficient marketing for Greta Gerwig's upcoming blockbuster Barbie. In the last few months, seemingly all corners of the world have been painted Barbie pink. This summer, everyone's hot (pink) with Barbie fever. ![]() The text is sectioned in build-up contents for learning experience.

Reviewed by Angel Escalona, Adjunct Professor, Middlesex Community College on 11/21/22 It would be better to have more practice and assessment problems in each chapter to for instructors to assign them as homework or self-practice activities. This is a good book for Excel beginners, particularly suitable for teaching Excel in a general elective course or business major. I didn't find anything relevant to this topic. In the pdf version, font sizes of some figures are too small and the figure styles are not very consistent. The subheadings "Printing" and "Preparing to Print" are not self-explanatory before reading the content. Even though your current logic of splitting them makes sense, it makes the "Print" and "Cell reference" topics less easier to be used as independent subunits. I would also suggest covering all the Print topic together instead of splitting into different chapters. I would suggest covering absolute reference and relative reference together instead of splitting them. Sometimes the font sizes and spacing are not consistent or appealing for readers. The online version is easy to ready, but the pdf version can be improved. I suggest a consistent subheading and maybe a more self-explanatory subheading for the assessment activities. The assessment activities are called "scored assessment" in some chapters and "chapter scored" in other chapters. But there is an inconsistency in the headings. I suggest the author clarify the relationship between Excel 2019 and Excel 365 to avoid confusion for beginners since Excel 365 also appear in the texts. The title indicates the book for Excel 2019. But few figures missed the captions and some figures used very small font sizes thus difficult to verify the information. ![]() This book doesn't have any science or engineering examples nor topics used frequently in scientific data analysis via Excel such as x-y scatter chart, logical functions (AND, OR, NOT), nested IF statement, functions like SUMPRODUCT, IFS, MATCH, INDEX, etc. The examples and practice problems are largely related to financial and career decision making. It also includes instructions for Mac user, which is very useful for students using Mac. This book is comprehensive for Excel beginners from non-STEM major.

For example, companies using FIFO cost flow assumption may have a lower ITR number in days of inflation because the latest inventory purchased at higher prices remain in stock under FIFO method. Moreover, excessive quantities in stock always pose a risk of loss due to factors like damage, theft, spoilage, shrinkage and stock obsolescence.īefore interpreting the inventory turnover ratio and making an opinion about a firm’s operational efficiency, it is important to investigate how the firm assigns cost to its inventory. Maintaining inventory in larger quantity than needed indicates poor efficiency on the part of inventory management because it involves blocking funds that could have been used in other business operations. A low ratio may also be the result of overstocking. ![]() If a financial statement user wants to calculate and compare the ratio of two firms, he must make sure that both the firms are perfect competitors of each other i.e., both fall within the same industry and their business models are essentially the same.Ī high ratio indicates that the firm is dealing in fast moving inventories and a low ratio, on the other hand, indicates slow moving or obsolete inventories lying in stock. Inventory turnover ratio vary significantly among industries. = 15 times Significance and interpretation Inventory turnover ratio = Net sales/Inventory Here, the only math we can do to compute ITR is to divide the net sales by the inventory. We can’t workout cost of goods sold and average inventory from this information. In this question, the only available information is the net sales and closing balance of inventory. Workout the inventory turnover ratio of Duro Items. ![]() shows a net sales of $660,000 and balance sheet shows an inventory amounting to $44,000. Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory at cost If its opening and closing inventory balances are $36,000 and $54,000 respectively, what would be the corporation’s cost of goods sold for the quarter? Solution Example 2īlessed Forever, a trading corporation, has an ITR ratio of 12 times for the first quarter of the year 2022. The company takes 73 days to sell its average inventory. It can be computed by dividing the number of days in a year by the inventory turnover ratio (ITR): The average selling period is the number of days True Dreamers takes to sell its average inventory. The ITR of True Dreamers is 5 or 5 times which means it has sold its average inventory 5 times during 2022. (Opening inventory + Closing inventory)/2Ĭost of goods sold/Average inventory at cost Calculate average inventory, inventory turnover ratio and average selling period for 2022. The opening and closing inventory balances are $9,000 and $7,000 respectively. It reports a net sales revenue of $75,000 and a gross profit of $35,000 on its income statement for the year 2022. True Dreamers is a US based small trading company. Inventory turnover ratio = Sales/Inventory Examples of inventory turnover ratio For example, if only sales and year-end inventory balance is given in the problem or homework assignment, then there would be no other option but to apply the following formula: If cost of goods sold is unknown, the net sales figure can be used as numerator and if the opening balance of inventory is unknown, closing balance can be used as denominator. The use of average inventory rather than just the year-end inventory balance helps minimize the impact of seasonal variations in turnover. Average inventory in denominator part of the formula is equal to opening balance of inventory plus closing balance of inventory divided by two. Cost of goods sold is equal to cost of goods manufactured (purchases for trading company) plus opening inventory less closing inventory. Two components of the formula of ITR are cost of goods sold and average inventory at cost. ![]() Inventory turnover ratio is computed by dividing the cost of goods sold by average inventory at cost. Other names used for this ratio include stock turnover ratio, inventory turns, stock turns and rate of stock turnover. A lower number, on the other hand, may indicate otherwise. For example, having an inventory turnover ratio of 10 means the firm has sold and refilled its average inventory 10 times during the period selected for analysis.Ī higher ITR number may signify a better inventory procurement and effective use of resources allocated to promote sales. It measures how many times a company has sold and replaced its inventory during a certain period of time. Inventory turnover ratio (ITR) is an activity ratio which evaluates the liquidity of a company’s inventory. ![]() ![]() Alternatively, you can install the Plex add-on for Kodi, if you prefer to deal primarily with the latter's interface.

How Do I Install Kodi on a Fire TV Stick? ![]() ![]() You do not need to buy a Kodi Box in order to use Kodi with your Fire TV Stick. Know that there's no such thing as an official Kodi Box, since Kodi does not license its name for such purposes. While this hardware can be perfectly legitimate for consumers who don't want to set up Kodi themselves, Kodi Boxes cross a point of legality if their preconfigured add-ons offer illegal or unlicensed access to content. A Kodi Box is an HTPC that typically comes preloaded with Kodi as well as some add-ons. Some of these add-ons are legitimate, while others can be used to illegally access content to which you do not have rights. However, Kodi allows you to install third-party add-ons, too. The add-ons in Kodi's official catalog are all approved by Kodi and safe to use. We do not condone any illegal behaviors, and there may be penalties for such uses for those who are caught.Īnother point of legality stems from the add-ons you can use with Kodi.
