The written memo should be properly formatted according to APA guidelines and demonstrate research and critical thinking skills. Evaluations and recommendations should be supported by at least four scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library or other external sources, excluding the textbook.

In Question 1, evaluate each decision separately in full detail including calculations, as necessary. The evaluation should be included as part of the memo discussion, not a separate component. Evaluations can be included as appendices, exhibits or figures; however must be properly referenced within the written content.

In Question 2, prepare a comprehensive business memo addressing each decision and your recommendation. The memo should be properly formatted as a business memo and formatted according to APA guidelines.

Production Cost Analysis and Estimation Applied Problems

Please complete the following two applied problems:

Problem 1:

William is the owner of a small pizza shop and is thinking of increasing products and lowering costs. William’s pizza shop owns four ovens and the cost of the four ovens is $1,000. Each worker is paid $500 per week.

Workers employed	Qty of pizzas produced per week
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8	0 75 180 360 600 900 1140 1260 1360

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

1. Which inputs are fixed and which are variable in the production function of William’s pizza shop? Over what ranges do there appear to be increasing, constant, and/or diminishing returns to the number of workers employed?
2. What number of workers appears to be most efficient in terms of pizza product per worker?
3. What number of workers appears to minimize the marginal cost of pizza production assuming that each pizza worker is paid $500 per week?
4. Why would marginal productivity decline when you hire more workers in the short run after a certain level?
5. How would expanding the business affect the economies of scale? When would you have constant returns to scale or diseconomies of scale? Describe your answer.

Problem 2:

The Paradise Shoes Company has estimated its weekly TVC function from data collected over the past several months, as TVC = 3450 + 20Q + 0.008Q2 where TVC represents the total variable cost and Q represents pairs of shoes produced per week. And its demand equation is Q = 4100 – 25P. The company is currently producing 1,000 pairs of shoes weekly and is considering expanding its output to 1,200 pairs of shoes weekly. To do this, it will have to lease another shoe-making machine ($2,000 per week fixed payment until the lease period ends).

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each item below in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

1. Describe and derive an expression for the marginal cost (MC) curve.
2. Describe and estimate the incremental costs of the extra 200 pairs per week (from 1,000 pairs to 1,200 pairs of shoes).
3. What are the profit-maximizing price and output levels for Paradise Shoes? Describe and calculate the profit-maximizing price and output.
4. Discuss whether or not Paradise Shoes should expand its output further beyond 1,200 pairs per week. State all assumptions and qualifications that underlie your recommendation.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

So you dont need to write too much just a small paragraph and dont use outside references, below is what the teachers instructions were:

“The body needs many minerals; these are called essential minerals. Essential minerals are sometimes divided up into major minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). These two groups of minerals are equally important, but trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts than major minerals. The amounts needed in the body are not an indication of their importance.

A balanced diet usually provides all of the essential minerals.

This time you reflect on your IDEAL list of food for a day to get the coverage for ALL the Minerals. Determine “What would be good for me for my health?”

SO, this time, please PLAN YOUR DIET, chose your food and determine what minerals were part of the diet that you have designed. Your posting should have ALL the listed macro-minerals and micro-minerals.

eg:

1 egg: Phosphorus, Iodine, and Selenium

2 breads: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese.

I am still missing some minerals. I have to add more food to my diet.

It’s your turn now!! Be innovative, find something good for your palate that’s a rich source of minerals also….ENJOY!!

READ >>>>>>>>>>

The process of discovery allows each side of a court case to “discover” a wide array of information relevant to the legal and factual issues in the case. Discovery can include document requests (requests that the other side produce ledgers, tax returns, medical records, or other items related to the case), interrogatories (written questions to be answered by the litigants or witnesses on the other side), and depositions (questioning a litigant or witness under oath in front of a court reporter who transcribes the questions and answers).

Discovery can be time-consuming and expensive; yet, it can also lead to case settlement after the litigants have a chance to consider all of the evidence and more accurately assess their odds of winning at trial.

___________________________________________________________________

QUESTION

In your initial post, describe what you think is the impact on judicial efficiency of allowing for wide-reaching, thorough discovery. Defend your position with examples or detailed explanation. Be sure to address the issue of costs as well as court caseloads. In response to your peers, note where you agree or disagree with their positions, using counter-examples and explanations.

For this discussion, you will have to share 2 images.

1. One image from the textbook in Chapter 3 only; not from chapter 2.
2. One image of your own choice from the San Diego Museum of Art’s website: https://www.sdmart.org/collections/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

For each image, include the following information in “bullet” format (cut and paste the items below to use as your template):

Artwork information:

1. Artist name
2. Name of the artwork
3. Date
4. Medium (what it’s made of….oil paint, charcoal, etc)
5. Attach the image
6. Style of Representation: these are the general forms/styles of representation, or how art “looks”. Describe how it qualifies according to one of the styles. You must describe details of the artwork; anything from color, texture, flat areas, 3-D areas, size, whatever it seems to you to discuss to back up your choice of style.

• Abstract
• Representational or Naturalistic: Idealized, Expressionist, Surreal
• Non-representational

• FORMAL ELEMENTS and PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITION: Identify the artwork in regards to the noticeable elements & principles with your new vocabulary; you don’t need to address ALL of the elements/principles, just the ones that are dominant. Remember, now that we have a list of things to look for, we can identify them more easily. You MUST use the correct vocabulary (from the textbook) in order to earn credit.
  • FORMAL ELEMENTS: line, light and value, color, texture and pattern, shape and volume, space, time and motion, chance, improvisation and spontaneity.
  • PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITION: balance, rhythm, proportion and scale, emphasis, unity and variety.

Make sure to respectfully comment on others’ choices while replying: often we need more than one set of eyes to see the big picture. You are required to reply to TWO students. Thanks!

Failure to provide all of the information above will result in loss of credit. Do not upload a document file; provide the information in the numbered format above.
