Part 2 of the continuing case, due in Unit 7, builds on the work completed in Unit 4. The title page, abstract, outline and preliminary
reference list completed in Unit 4 will be the foundation for the Unit 7 Paper.
All of the feedback and guidance provided to you in your Unit 4 Case Assignment must be fully incorporated in the Unit 7 Paper. Note:
None of the feedback is to be submitted in your Unit 7 Paper. It must be removed before you submit your Unit 7 Case Paper.
For the case part 2, you are to complete a series of “continuing problems” from your textbook. Those continuing problems involve a
series of business issues related to the Cookie Creations company progressive narratives in the textbook end-of-chapter resources.
This is the list of continuing problems you will complete:
TextbookÂ’s Continuing Problems:
CC 1 – p. 1–46 in the physical text.
CC 2 – p. 2–43 in the physical text.
CC 5 – p. 5–51 in the physical text.
CC 7 – Part 1, only, p. 7–54 in the physical text.
CC 8 – Requirement (a), only, p. 8–45 in the physical text.
Although not due in Part 1 or 2, the following additional continuing problem will be included in the Unit 9 Case Part 3 PowerPoint
Assignment:
CC 11– Part 1 (a), only, p. 11–52 in the physical text.
You should preview the Unit 9 Assignment instructions.
The order of presentation must follow the grading rubric order.
Important Notes:
1. Use the APA template located in Course Resources as the format basis for your Unit 4 Assignment.
2. The final paper must be presented in a single Word document. The full paper due in Unit 7 must be between 8 and 10 properly
formatted pages in length, not including the title, abstract, and reference list pages. The paper must use proper APA Publication
Manual 7th edition formatting, including title page, running head, abstract, and reference list with properly formatted citations in the
body of the paper. Headings and subheadings are required.
3. Part 2 is a formal research analysis; do not present an “interview” format with questions and answers. You are a research
analyst for the purposes of this assignment, not a “business consultant” to the case protagonist.
4. Do not simply provide “short-answer” responses; use a more formal approach in the communication style. If you do not understand
the differences between formal and informal writing, please carefully review the guidance available in the Writing Center.
5. A properly formatted title page with a running head and an abstract are required.
6. Do not include a table of contents.
7. Do not repeat or copy the assignment question narratives. You should use abbreviated versions of the questions as headings and
subheadings.
8. Anything that artificially increases the length of the paper but does not add value to the analysis, such as oversized type or
additional line “points” in the paragraph format, will result in a reduced score.
9. Before submitting your Unit 7 Case Paper, submit it to the Writing Center for “Paper Review.”
10. For more specific information and guidance, please access the following resources available in the Writing Center:
a. “Writing a Research Paper”
b. “Introductions and Conclusions”
c. “Plagiarism Prevention”
d. “Formal Versus Informal Writing”
e. “Critical Thinking and the Writing Process”
f. “Using Sources”

Case Project Part 2
Part 2 of the continuing case, due in Unit 7, builds on the work completed in Unit 4. The title page, abstract, outline, and preliminary
reference list completed in Unit 4 will be the foundation for the continued effort in Unit 7.
For Case Part 2, you are to complete an analysis of the “continuing problems” from your textbook.
The case project spans Unit 4, Unit 7, and Unit 9. For the case project, you are to complete a series of “continuing problems” from
company progressive narratives in the textbook end-of-chapter resources in your textbook. Those continuing problems involve a series
of business issues related to the Cookie Creations company.
The case project should be considered a single assignment, not three separate assignments. Therefore, do not overemphasize the
score on any single component of the case. Rather, take a broader and more accurate view of the case project as a single, unified
assignment worth a total of 200 points. The case point distribution is as follows:
Part I (Due Unit 4) – The Initial Formatting/Outline = 25 Points
Part II (Due Unit 7) – The Full Paper (Analysis) = 100 Points
Part III (Due Unit 9) – The Case PowerPoint presentation = 75 Points
Total Case Assignment Points = 200 Points
The textbook, continuing problem assignment Instructions, classroom/course assignment instructions, etc. use several terms
interchangeably. The following terms can be understood as referring to your project or individual elements of the project: case project,
continuing problem, continuing case, “CC,” “CCC.” If you have any questions about any of the terminology, please bring them to the
Virtual Office.
Much of the case project will be an exercise in developing your critical thinking skill and your ability to follow instructions. Therefore, be
sure to read all assignment instructions (all units: 4, 7, & 9) very carefully before starting the writing process.
ALL content MUST be properly cited. That means that every paragraph must have proper attribution of sources. Your personal
knowledge is NOT sufficient. Absence of proper attribution of sources, using properly formatted references AND citations in the body of
the paragraphs, will result in significant reduction of score.
Very Important Initial Gentle Reminder: If you do not understand plagiarism and how to avoid violating the rules of academic integrity,
please review the tutorial in the classroom titled “Plagiarism.” It can be found under the Academic Tools tab. If you do not understand
the rules for proper attribution of sources, please carefully review the information available in the Writing Center in the material related
to “Using Sources.”

Review the Unit 7 Assignment grading rubric.
Submit your completed Unit 7 Case Project Assignment Part 2 Word document to the Unit 7 Assignment Dropbox. Assignments are
due Tuesday 11:59 p.m. ET of their assigned unit.

the CC problems in your Course Resources.

COOKIE CREATIONS CONTINUING CASE

Cookie Creations Continuing Case
Mawadda Alqutbi
Purdue Global
Abstract
This is a case study in which we explore Cookie Creations, a business owned by Natalie Koebe. We will explore the different
stages and significant areas of the startup as it grows. These will include its sources of capital, day-to-day running the business,
Staffing, internal controls, record keeping, and financial reporting among others. Natalie must ensure that she hires eligible
candidates to carry out specific duties in the business ethically and professionally. Internal controls will help Natalie ensure
reliable, timely, as well as accurate information of running her business. One of such internal controls is proper record keeping,
which will help her make sound decisions and take the right actions for the success of the business. Natalie must observe local
and international financial reporting standards while reporting finances of the business. Available opportunities for the business
will be explored: becoming a distributor of cookies and and any other options and what to consider in making such decisions.
Different sources including published books, journal articles, reports, and websites will be used for research in this report.
