Describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection.

Module 7 Assignment Description

Recall from the chapter on the central nervous system (CNS) that the general senses detect such stimuli as touch, pain, and temperature. General senses refer to the fact that these receptors are relatively simple and located throughout the body in both the skin and internal organs. The special senses, in contrast, are so named because they convey a specific type of information from specialized sensory organs in discrete locations of the head. For this assignment you will;

Imagine you are driving or biking on a high-traffic road and you are approaching an intersection with a four-way stop and railroad train track. Additionally, there are three cars in the other lanes of the intersection and visibility is decreased because of foggy weather conditions.
Describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection.
Then, in a detailed summary, explain the pathways for each of the special senses involved.
Describe the pathways for the special senses not involved in this case and explain why they are not used.
Describe how the brain interprets information from each of those special senses.
Describe how the brain sends messages to the body to react to information from these special senses.
This assignment is a recorded presentation of 8 to 12 minutes. You should prepare a slide presentation and record your delivery of the presentation. This PowerPoint® (Microsoft Office) or Impress® (Open Office) presentation should be a minimum of 20 slides, including a title and reference slide, recorded audio and be sure to include a reference slide. You will describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection.

What is the Price Elasticity of Demand?

Saco Atlantic Truffle Case

Understanding the effects of pricing on revenues, costs and pricing

Introduction: It is April and you have recently been hired as the manager of Saco Atlantic Truffle Company in Springvale, Maine. You have been asked to improve profitability. The company got its name from a proprietary caramel truffle first sold in a coffee shop also owned by the Hill family. Note: Please use Excel for all calculations.

1. (30 points) Analysis of Pricing: You manage The Saco Atlantic Truffle Company which makes a chocolate – caramel truffle for sale to gift shops from Cape Cod to Mount Desert Island near Bar Harbor Maine. In 2017, the company sold individually wrapped candies in boxes of 25 for $51.00 each. The candies retail for $4.49 for an individual piece and sales have been strong. The owners of Saco would like to increase its sales and profits. They know that, if price is lowered, they will generate more sales. Sales are typically steady at 70,000 boxes per month from May through October. Last year they sold 70,000 boxes in May. So they run an experiment. Price is lowered to $46.00 per box in May of this year and the number of deliveries increases to 75,000.

a. What is the Price Elasticity of Demand?

b. Is elasticity elastic, inelastic or neither?

c. What does this mean and why does it matter?

d. Will Revenues increase or decrease as a result of the price cut? By How much?

e. You calculate that the fixed costs for the Saco Atlantic Truffle are $25,000 per month and each box costs $25 for the labor, candy, packaging and shipping. Will profits go up or down as a result of the price cut? By How much? (Profits are revenue minus all costs.)

2. (30 points) Peter Hill, the 19 year old son of the owner, says that there wasn’t enough time in the experiment. He estimates that in the second month, June, Saco Atlantic Truffle will sell 80,000 boxes at $46.00 per box. Please answer the following assuming that Peter is correct. You want to get an idea of what will happen to profits before you commit to an action and make a projection. If profits are projected to go up assuming that Peter is correct, then you will keep the current price of $46.00 during June. If the profits are projected to go down, you plan to return to $51 per box.

a. What would be the Price Elasticity of Demand compared to a month ago if Peter is correct?

b. Is elasticity elastic, inelastic or neither?

c. What does this mean and why does it matter?

d. Will Revenues increase or decrease as a result of the price cut to $46.00 at 80,000 boxes? By How much?

e. You calculate that the fixed costs for the Truffles are still $25,000 per month and total variable costs are $25 for each box. Make a projection of revenues, costs and profits for June. Will profits go up or down as a result of the price cut if Saco Atlantic Truffle Caramel sells 80,000 boxes? By How much?

3. (40 points) The Saco Atlantic Truffle owners see the change in profits from the price decrease in May and the projection for June. They decide to go back to a price of $51.00 and have sales of 70,000 boxes in June. The May production required staff to work 2 weekends and there were many complaints. No one wanted to work weekends during vacation season in Maine and there was no room to expand production. The owners were willing to add a second location that would permit greater production if profits justified. They decide that they are only willing to manage enough production to support 70,000 deliveries at a price of $51.00. However, if they raised price to $60.00 per box for July, they would be willing to hire additional staff, lease more space across town and produce 118,000 boxes.

a. Calculate the Elasticity of Supply. Is it elastic or inelastic?

b. How many deliveries will Saco Atlantic Truffle have at a price of $60.00? Hint: since the product is perishable, you will only want to produce what customers will buy. Use the original the elasticity of demand calculated in #1 above.

c. What will be the Revenue?

d. What will be the Profit?

e. Should Saco Atlantic Truffle raise the price to $60.00? Why or why not?

identify and describe several specific tort liabilities that GC could face in its public store facility operations

Purpose
The purpose of this project is to research, analyze and apply tort law.

This project requires you to identify and assess legal issues, apply law to facts and make recommendations. The issues will relate to the concepts covered in weeks 1, 2, and 3 about the legal environment of business and business organizations.

You will also develop skills in developing a PowerPoint presentation, in writing a summary report and using critical thinking to write an in-depth comprehensive analysis.

Outcomes Met by Completing this Assignment:

· recommend appropriate actions in the business environment based on an understanding of sources of law, legal process and procedure, and available remedies

· analyze tort rights, obligations, liabilities, and remedies in the business environment

Background: GC has two primary concerns about tort risks and liabilities. These are (1) risks related to potential accidents occurring in their public business space to employees and/or customers, and (2) risks related to cleaning jobs,

GC will be headquartered in commercial space in a local shopping center. This space will include private business offices, a public reception area, a conference meeting area, and space to which potential and existing clients will be invited to discuss cleaning jobs, buy cleaning products, and complete contracts for cleaning jobs. The business space will be open to the public. The shopping center in which GC will be headquartered is busy and heavily trafficked with shoppers.

Of greater concern are risks arising from accidents and injuries to cleaner-employees and /or clients related to cleaning jobs.

At the direction of your supervisors at TLG, you are tasked to develop a plan to identify potential risks and liabilities and recommend ways to minimize potential tort risks in (1) GC’s public store operations, and (2) on cleaning jobs.

GC owners will use the plan to refine policies and procedures to prevent and/or minimize liabilities for GC in its public facility and on cleaning jobs.

Instructions

For this project, write a plan to be presented in a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation.

There is no set number of slides but include a title page and a reference page.

Please place all notes and explanations for EACH slide directly on slides in the PPT presentation – not in a separate document. You likely will need more than one PPT slide for each point/idea/concept so that everything you want to say/include in the presentation will be contained in the PPT slides.

The plan focuses on potential tort liabilities (except do not discuss or include product liability in this project).

The Power Point presentation will:

1. identify and describe several specific tort liabilities that GC could face in its public store facility operations;

A. develop and explain policies and/or procedures GC could implement to prevent or minimize each tort risk discussed in 1. above;

2. identify and describe several specific tort liabilities that GC could face on cleaning jobs;

A. develop and explain policies and/or procedures GC could implement to prevent or minimize each tort risk discussed in 2. above;

Should all sexual predators be released back into society once they have served their criminal sentence?

The Civil Commitment for Sexually Violent Predators’ Treatment and Care Act, enacted in response to the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 9-year-old Jimmy Ryce by sex offender Juan Chavez in 1995, is federal legislation that provides, among other things, a civil commitment procedure for the long term treatment of sexually violent predators.

The Act defines certain sex offenders—“sexually violent predators”—as having a mental abnormality and seeks to have these offenders involuntarily and indefinitely committed to an appropriate “secure facility” for treatment, but only after the offenders have already served their criminal sentences in jail. Moreover, it applies only to persons who have already been convicted of a sexually violent crime. Although the Florida Legislature passed the Jimmy Ryce Act unanimously, the Act is controversial to courts, academia, and civil rights activists because it raises constitutional concerns.

Search the Internet for background information on the Jimmy Ryce case.
Identify at least three constitutional concerns raised by critics, and explain whether or not you agree with these concerns.
Should all sexual predators be released back into society once they have served their criminal sentence? Why or why not?

Why do you think retailers started doing product development and private label brands?

Review following article : https://web.archive.org/web/20160216063051/http://www.storebrandsdecisions.com/news/2011/08/16/how-to-develop-a-private-label-expression-aligned-with-retail-brand-strategy
Product development is the process of taking a product from concept through the design and creation stages to product launch. When stores create their own brands and sell them in their own outlets, they refer to that brand as a private label. Why do you think retailers started doing product development and private label brands?
Target has mastered the product development process. What has made Target such a success? What other retailers have been successful with their own product development and private labels?

How are history, politics, and economy presented as the bases for socialization and progress in the enlightenment period

The purpose of this assignment is to develop an argument, a thesis, based on synthesis of a group of readings that share a common theme. Essay should reflect their critical thinking skills and their ability to argue their thesis successfully.

PROMPT:

How are history, politics, and economy presented as the bases for socialization and progress in the enlightenment period (1000-1500 words minimum with at least 3 outside sources)

Describe how the emerging field of epigenetics is impacting the longstanding nature vs nurture paradigm.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion please read the Hurley (2013) Trait vs. Fate and Weaver, et al. (2004) Epigenetic Programming by Maternal Behavior articles and review the Webster “The Great Rat Mother Switcheroo” online article. The recommended resources for this week also provide more information on these topics.
In this week’s required resources, we have learned that while our genes have a lot to say about who we are, environmental factors, particularly parental behavior, can shape the behavior of offspring on a biochemical level. Using the assigned Hurley and Weaver et al. articles, briefly describe the research that has been done with rat mothers to illustrate this phenomenon. In your initial post of a minimum of 350 words, explain the implications of the research on parental behavior and environmental factors as they relate to human personality development. Describe how this research data might be used to explain unhealthy personality traits. Describe how the emerging field of epigenetics is impacting the longstanding nature vs nurture paradigm. Be sure to cite the Hurley and Weaver, et al. articles in your initial post.
Guided Response: Respond in a substantive way to at least two of your peers. Choose at least one point from your peer’s response that impacted your thinking on this subject, and explain why and how that particular comment either resonated with you or caused you to think in a different way. Compare the implications for human personality development identified by your peers to those you identified, and suggest alternative conclusions where appropriate. Challenge ideas with which you disagree and support your arguments.
