1. Discussion Question In Chapters 18 and 19 of Wild, J., & Shaw, K. (2022) text

1. Discussion Question
In Chapters 18 and 19 of Wild, J., & Shaw, K. (2022) text you learned about cost behavior, cost-volume-profit, and variable costing analysis . View the following YouTube videos
How to Calculate Break Even Points, Contribution Margin, and Target Quantity for a Specific Profit. (n.d.). Www.youtube.com. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNaA-LkA-tY
Absorption vs Variable Costing. (n.d.). Www.youtube.com. Retrieved July 19, 2022, from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPFDAx04BZM
Once viewed discuss the following with your peers:
What is cost-volume-profit analysis? What are its underlying assumptions and what would you do if assumptions are not met?
How would you compare variable costing and absorption costing using a hypothetical example?
Do research and discuss cost behavior analysis from the company that you work for currently or from a company in your own country? What did you learn in your research?
2. Costing Assignment
Based on the content covered in Week 2 and Chapters 18 and 19 of the Wild, J., & Shaw, K. (2022) text, students learned about cost behavior, cost-volume-profit analysis, and variable costing. Students should address the following:
Describe how use of absorption costing in determining income can lead to overproduction and a buildup of inventory. Explain how variable costing can avoid this same problem.
Apply your knowledge of absorption costing and variable costing to solve the following problem:
Sims Company, a manufacturer of tablet computers, began operations on January 1, 2017. Its cost and sales information for this year follows.
A. Prepare an income statement for the year using variable costing.
B. Prepare an income statement for the year using absorption costing.
C. Under what circumstance(s) is reported income identical under both absorption costing and variable costing?
Paper should be 6 pages including the calculations and the income statements in A and B.

(15 points) Answer each question in a sentence or two:
1. What lecture or topic was most interesting to you? What did you enjoy about it?
2. Was there a topic that wasn’t covered in class that you would have liked to see?
3. How many discussion sections did you attend?
4. If you ever attended, what was the most useful feature of the discussion sections?
5. Regardless of whether you attended, was there anything that would have made discussion sections
more useful?
2 Short Questions
Answer each question in a sentence or two:
1. (10 pts) Risk and information:
(a) In your own words, define the concepts of ‘asymmetric information’ and ‘adverse selection’.
(b) Give one example of each and explain how it relates too the concept.
(c) For each example, describe a screening or signaling tool that can address the information issue.
2. (10 pts) What is “payment for ecosystem services (PES)”? List at least three common shortcomings
of existing PES schemes.
3. (10 pts) Consider a farmer’s decision about whether to purchase a new variety of maize (corn) seeds
advertised as resulting in higher yields (amount of maize produced per area planted).
(a) Describe how the concepts of performance risk, reliability risk, and fit risk might apply in the
case of the farmer’s adoption decision for these new maize seeds.
(b) Give examples of how at least two types of marketing tools might increase the likelihood that the
farmer adopts the new seeds.
3 Final Project Outline
Produce a detailed outline for your final paper. You may produce one outline per group, but each group
member should hand in a copy with their problem set. Make sure to indicate the names of all of your group
members. The outline should include:
Introduction
• What is your topic?
• Why is this topic important/relevant to the class?
• What are the 3-5 main points (concepts from class) you will make in the paper?
Body
• One section for each main point/class concept (3-5 sections)
• In 2-3 sentences, describe the claims you will use to support these points (These claims will be developed
into your topic sentences when you write the final paper.) Try to incorporate class concepts here.
• A very brief summary (in bullets) of the evidence you will gather to support these claims.
• In 2-3 sentences, describe the preliminary idea for your numerical analysis.
Conclusion
• Preliminary idea for your own conclusion/recommendation.

Find an article on the www that gives information about a corporate strategy decision an organization has made. How does this corporate strategy decision potentially create additional value (i.e. economies of scope, or “synergies”) compared to what would happen had the organization not made the decision? What will be the evidence/measure(s) the organization, or analysts, or investors, will be looking at in a few years to see whether or not the synergies have actually been achieved? In your write-up, include a www link to the article/story you are writing about. Guideline: approximately 300 words (equates to approximately one page, double-spaced) I need this back in 2.5 Hours. Must be typed, Original, No PLAGARISM.

Compare and contrast the theory of Mercantilism, Ricardo’s theory of Absolute Ad

Compare and contrast the theory of Mercantilism, Ricardo’s theory of Absolute Advantage and Comparative Advantage, and Adam Smith’s theory of international trade. Variations of all of these theories are still applicable today in regards to international trade. Give an example of each one of these three theories being applied today by a nation and how it exactly relates to each theory (Hint: one country cannot practice all three).

Watch the above video. Once you have done this post a response to each of the bullets below.
Based on how “Greed” is portrayed in the video do you believe it can provide benefits to society?
Give a personal example of something you do for your own best interest that also benefits others. Alternatively, give an example of something you have done that only harmed others. Are both “Greedy”? Do you see a difference between “Greed” and “Self-interest”?
Do you believe love and kindness would produce the same level of output in a society as “self-interest”? Why or why not?
Would you consider a business owner attempting to hire workers at a lower wage greedy? What about a worker attempting to get a higher wage from the employer?
By going to school and getting an education you are likely to significantly raise your income, do you believe such an increase in your income will take income away from others? If yes, than why would you do such a thing? If no, how can one person’s income go up without someone else’s going down?

I will provide you with three files.
The first file is the instructions and requirements of the assignment.
The second and third files will the the Excel sheet that is from ” Gapminder” From these two Excel sheets, the first one is GDP per capita and the second one is HDI, you should do a line chart(Make sure that the dates are from 2000 to 2021 for both figures and the countries for both figures are UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, and Kuwait).
If you want to see a ready assignment that you want to guide feel free to contact me and I will send it.
Thank you 🙂
