The variable cost in NewShoes is the unit cost of the product. Fixed costs are the marketing expenses for a region along with the allocated product development expense. Applying the formula with a variable cost of $40, and fixed expenses of $3,500,000, the break-even price for 100,000 units would be: break-even price = $40 + $3,500,000 / 100,000 = $40 + $35 = $75

1. Using the fixed expenses and projected sales from the example, what would the break-even price be if unit cost is $35?

2. If the break-even price is $75, and your target return on sales is 20%, what is the selling price?

 − Use the following data for questions 3 & 4 − units sold $100.000 consumer promotions $1,800,000 unit cost $40 personal selling 5 salespeople @ $80,000 each target return on sales 10% dealer promotions $1,200,000 advertising $1,500,000 product development $700,000

3. Calculate the break-even price.

4. What would the selling price have to be to get the target return?

5. What other factors besides break-even should you consider before setting price?

Write a 2 page essay on Ethics on Euthanasia.

ciety that undervalues life sees no guilt in committing acts of violence, particularly murder, thereby making life value dangerously demoralized and humanity altogether ­weakened (Doerflinger, 1989, p. 16-19, Koop, 1989, p. 2-3).

The “slippery slope” or the “wedge theory” is an assumption that makes the distinction between voluntary euthanasia and involuntary euthanasia hardly recognizable, thereby supposing that agonizing individuals request their deaths because they feel they are a burden to themselves. and society requests to terminate an individual’s life because of being a burden to the people around them and to society, as a whole. Kamizar, a professor of law at the University of Michigan and a non-supporter of the “wedge theory” argues that “Once society accepts that life can be terminated because of its diminished quality, there is no rational way to limit euthanasia and prevent its abuse.” (Wolhandler, 1984, p. 377).

If euthanasia is legalized, the probability for exploitation and mistreatment of individuals by the more supreme individuals will enormously amplify (Le Baron, 2010). In direct conjunction with this dispute is the argument that individuals having control over the more vulnerable individuals might develop addiction to euthanasia (Le Baron, 2010, Doerflinger, 1989, p. 19).

A strong proof of advocacy on euthanasia was done by the Nazis in 1939, when Hitler ordered mass “mercy killing” of the sick and the disabled or those individuals with unworthy lives. Disabled children were killed by means of lethal injection or gradual starvation, while sick/disabled adults, particularly those with epilepsy, schizophrenia, senility, paralysis and syphilis were murdered in gas chambers. Six killing centers were established in Germany. It was approximated that more than one hundred thousand people perished in the Nazi euthanasia program (“Holocaust Timeline: Nazi Euthanasia,” 1997).

Consider a model that is identical to the Solow model we presented in class,

except for a change in the production technology. In particular, denote the depreciation rate

by , the population growth rate by n, the constant saving rate by s, and TFP by A.

The production function f(k) in this model is S-shaped” and not always concave. In partic-

ular, assume that the production function is (i) concave when 0 < k  k1; (ii) convex when

k1 < k  k2; and (iii) concave again when k > k2.

(a) Plot the production function and the saving curve for this model.

(b) Plot the depreciation line for the model.

(c) Show that the level of  and n may change the number of potential steady states for this

model. In particular, show that there exist a case where only one steady state exists (other

than k = 0), and that there is a case with three potential steady states.

(d) Use the case with three steady states and answer the following for each steady state:

(i) Assume that you start with a slightly lower level of k than the steady state level.

Will the economy converge to that steady state?

(ii) Assume that the economy starts with a slightly higher level of k than the steady

state level. Will the economy converge to that steady state?

Write 1 page essay on the topic Pre lab springs.

The theoretical y-intercept in the standards equation of a straight line compares (corresponds) to the determined value of T2. The slope (constant) is normally represented by the value of m in the standards equation of a straight line and in this case corresponds to K d.

c. Again, compare the standard form of the equation for a straight line and the result for part (a), what should the theoretical value for the y-intercept be in terms of constants and the dynamical spring constant k d and m0 the effective mass of the spring? In terms of the y-intercept (and other known values), what is the value of the effective mass of the spring m0?

As argued above, the standard equation of a straight line is y= mx +c. This equation implies that y is the same as c since it is the value where the line cuts the y-axis. C is the intercept on the y-axis.

In comparison, if T2 compares to y, and T2=1.61, then it means that the straight line of the graph of T2 against m cuts the x-axis at 1.61. This value depends on the constant K d, since the spring constant results from the resultant forces applied on the spring, the restoring force and the mass, mo applied on the
