Deposit Slip

When you write a deposit slip for a check you first write out the date, you then write down the amount of money of the check on the bracket then write it again in the boxes. If you have cash you're depositing too you write down the amount in the boxes in the cash column. Then you add those up and write the amount in your sub total. If you want to receive cash back that won't go into your account, you write the amount in the cash back column. You then subtract the cash you want from your sub total then write the amount left in your last column. The cash you want back has to be less than your sub total. Also, you must sign your name on the line under the date. If you don't want cash back you don't have to sign.

How to Write a Check

When writing a check you need to fill it our properly or it won't be valid. The steps are:

1. Where the date goes
2. Who you're paying the check to
3. The amount of money, write kind of big so no numbers are added
4. Write out the amount of money with the amount of cents over 100 and then add a line on the rest of the line so that an extra amount is added
5. Sign your name
6. What the check is for

Endorsing a Check
There are three different ways to endorse a check depending on what it is you want to do.

 The first way is to just sign your name the way it is on the front of the check if it's made out to you. Only do so if you're ready to cash or deposit it otherwise if you lose it, someone else can cash it and get your money.

 

 

 

 

 

The second way is called a Special Endorsement, this means you're giving the money to someone else, sometimes called "signing the check over to someone". You will write "pay to the order of(person's name)"

 

 

 

 

The last way of endorsing a check is called a Restrictive Endorsement, it makes your check safer if you're sending it by mail. You will write "for deposit only" and this means the bank can only deposit it into your account, it cannot be cashed.

Credit Report

• What is it?

A report detailing a person’s financial history specifically related to their ability to repay borrowed money.

• What's a good score and what's a bad score?

Your credit score is calculated from your credit report. However, lenders look at many things when making a credit decision including your income, how long you have worked at your present job and the kind of credit you are requesting. It’s sometimes hard to pin down. Some break from the 300-850 scale. The VantageScore ranges from 501-900.

A good credit score is generally considered a 720 or higher.

A bad credit score is between the low 300's.

• How can you raise your credit score?

Pay your bills on time, keep balances low on credit cards and other revolving credit, apply for and open new credit accounts as needed, pay off debt rather than moving it around.

• What are some reporting agencies?

Three agencies are Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion

The Social Responsibility of Business

Social responsibility refers to the idea that companies and corporations should contribute wealth or resources solely dedicated to the improvement of society as a whole.

Communities are a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.

Environment is the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions, or influences; surroundings.

Stakeholders are a person or group that has an investment, share, or interest in something, as a business or industry.

Closure: I think a business incorporates social responsibility into their business plan because their customers at any time can say that they put their profit before the people and destroy the earth making their products. It can make them go out of business if it goes far enough.  When they take into account that they have responsibility to society they can be smart about how they manufacture their products. Since they do somewhat destroy the environment, giving back is the least they can do. Whether it's charity, the employees working conditions, helping the environment, etc.

The Social Responsibility of Dunkin' Brands
 Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins Franchises across the country have a foundation to serve the basic need of their communities through food for the hungry, safety and children’s health.

The Business Ethic Case
Chantale should tell a higher authority that would take the matter more seriously.
I think that when the company you're employed at is potentially harming the community, that's the limit that's hit when it comes to loyalty.
Yes, I think it would make a difference if Chantale was in a position of high authority, she feels strongly that's it's wrong and also knows it's illegal. I'm sure she would do her best to stop it.
It would also make a difference if she had scientific expertise because when she talked to the company's operation manager she said it's barely harming anyone, if she had the knowledge behind it she could defend her point on why it's a serious problem.
