February 12, 2017 My calculations for the Vanda-Laye Corporation’s production of oven mittens by the, led to the following conclusions. . A price ceiling lower than $3.55 will cause a shortage in the market with increased demand and decreased supply. The equilibrium price point for manufacture is $3.55. Producers can supply 20 units and demand will equal supply. A floor price greater than the $3.55 will cause over production, and thus a surplus of the mittens. Consumers would reject the higher prices for the product and cause a decrease in demand. An increase in the prices of Sub Good A and Complimentary Good C, independently applied, will cause opposing effects .

The demand curve for a good complementary to the oven mitten, (such as a baking dish purchased during the holiday season for example) will behave contrariwise. As the price of the dish rises, the demand for both the dish and the oven mitten will decline.

    TCO B. Infuriated when Harry Reid is re-elected during the 2010 fall election, the Republicans in Congress decide to take matters into their own hands. In 2011, the House of Representatives passes a new "Freedom isn't Free Act" that requires that anyone who wants to vote in the 2012 presidential election must prove that they paid at least $200 in federal income tax in the past year, including people aged 18 (who typically are deducted on their parents' returns and do not pay income tax). Anyone who received the "earned income credit" is barred from voting unless they return the payment from the government. Proof of payment of the tax can be made by showing a copy of the prior year's W2, a copy of the prior year's tax return, or a signed statement from the IRS stating that the payment of more than $200 in federal income tax has been made. Citizens who do not pay taxes can still vote if they donate $200.00 to the federal government as voluntary income tax and get a statement from the IRS that they have done so. The law sunsets on December 31, 2012. List two bases under which someone impacted by this law could argue to have the law overturned.…

    Rob Dander, project manager in the Operation Research Department (ORD) was charged with managing a large computer project for Antar’s new manufacturing process. Dander was assigned three assistants to help with this project, all with different experience levels. The team was to function as a high-performance product development team, however they lacked sufficient tools to do so. “The primary problems of poor communication and poor coordination of typical product development processes in organizations can be rectified by creating self-managing, cross-functional product development teams” (Griffin and Moorhead, 2014). Implementing an effective revamp of Antar’s manufacturing process with the installation of a robotics system lay in the findings of Dander’s team. “The ORD would run a full-scale simulation of the entire manufacturing process and determine the working requirements that would optimize production while lowering costs. A major concern of management was to establish a program that would occupy minimal computer time and which could easily adapt to changing parameters and inputs. A secondary objective was to use the simulation to train operators on how to manipulate the new computer monitors which automation would bring” (Seijts, 2006). Thus, it is clear that management had a large investment in the outcome of the project with the company’s need to stay competitive in the market by cutting manufacturing costs.…

    Suppose that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the price floor for cheese, set at $0.17 per pound of cheese. (In real life, the actual price floor was officially set at $16.10 per hundredweight of cheese. One hundredweight is 100 pounds.) At that price, according to data from the USDA, the quantity of cheese produced in 2009 by U.S. producers was 212.5 billion pounds, and the quantity demanded was 211 billion pounds. To support the price of cheese at the price floor, the USDA had to buy up 1.5 billion pounds of cheese. The accompanying diagram shows supply and demand curves illustrating the market for cheese.…

    (TCO I) Marianne Jennings wrote an article, “Why an International Code of Ethics would be good,” which was assigned to be read at the beginning of the course. As you have worked throughout this session, you should have considered this article and how it may or may not have impacted different situations in the world economic/business/legal/political environments. The essay you will write on the next question should show that you have read Marianne’s article and can apply her theories and thoughts from that article to the scenario provided. Feel free to rely on the information you know about the situations (if real) or analogize to one that is real, if you wish. Include in your answer at least two specific concepts from Marianne’s article, and apply those concepts to your reasoning in your answer. You will be graded on your knowledge of the article as well as the application of ethical theories to international situations. Arguably, the United States and other countries have been experiencing one of the longest and hardest hitting economic crises since the Great Depression over the last few years. This economic downturn is a result of multiple things, but the housing bubble burst was one major event that continues to ripple throughout the bank/lending world. As a result of the downturn in housing sales, foreclosures, bank lending overvaluations, and bank failures, lending practice changes and bank bailouts have become the norm.…

    In 1994, the New York City Police Department adopted a law enforcement crime fighting strategy known as COMPSTAT (COMPuter STATistics). COMPSTAT uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the locations of where crimes occur, identify “ hotspots”, and map problem areas. COMPSTAT has amassed a wealth of historical crime data. Mathematicians have designed and developed algorithms that run against the historical data to predict future crimes for police departments. This is known as predictive policing. Predictive policing has led to a drop in burglaries, automobile thefts, and other crimes in some cities.…
