Scenario :

 

Dianne is a young woman with a spending problem. She has three credit cards that are maxed out, she is behind in her rent, and her landlord is threatening to evict her. Fortunately, she has been paying her payments on her leased laptop computer, but next month is not looking good. Dianne works as a cashier forWalmart. She has worked there for the past five years and has learned a way to make some extra cash. On occasion, when the time is right, Dianne pockets the cash given by a customer and does not register the transaction.

Today is her birthday, and with the extra cash, Dianne takes a fellow co-worker out for dinner.  At the end of their dinner, Dianne and her co-worker skip out, not leaving funds to cover the bill.  She justifies it to herself, “well, the food and service wasn’t that good anyway”.  Board as ever, she contacts her cousin, who works at the nearby “IMAX” theater.  She wants to see the latest Star Wars movie, but not wanting to spend any money, she gets her cousin to give her two movie stubs and they use them to gain admission.

At the end of the movie, Dianne and her co-worker exit the theater to find that Dianne’s laptop is missing from her car. The night just keeps getting better and better. It must have been stolen. They call the police and the police fill out a report. She drives back to her apartment, and when she arrives, she finds a notice of eviction posted to her door. Getting desperate, she asks her co-worker for a loan of $500. Her co-worker writes out a personal check and says “you better pay me back this time”. Dianne smiles and replies, “of course, you know I’m good for it”. Her co-worker laughs and waves goodbye.

Dianne then takes her co-worker’s check and adds a one in front of the five and fifteen over the word five. She then hands the check to her landlord telling him, “you can’t kick me out man; I’ve got nowhere to go. Here’s the back rent, I’ll get back on track…I promise.” The landlord agrees to let her stay, but threatens to evict her if she’s late again.

Dianne has a restless night’s sleep because she’s worried about the laptop. The following morning she gets a call from Computer Depot, that leases her laptop and they inform her that they have repossessed it because they were informed that she was unreliable for payment. Dianne is infuriated. She gave Computer Depot all her money for down payment, instead of buying groceries that week. That same night, after hours, she goes to Computer Depot and tries to get her laptop back, but unfortunately for her, Computer Depot has hired a security guard to patrol the property. The guard catches her red handed, climbing out a window with the computer, so he calls the police. The 911 dispatch alerts you (the police officer), and, as the officer in the vicinity, you go to Computer Depot and handle the call.

 

Questions :

  1. When you arrive, do you arrest Dianne for her actions at Computer Depot? Why or why not? If you do arrest her, what do you charge her with?
  2. Assuming there is evidence to support all the facts as you read them in the above paragraph, what if any of the following charges could you potentially charge her with? (Petit Larceny, Grand Larceny, Larceny by Trick, Shoplifting, Receiving Stolen Property, Unauthorized use, Theft of services, Embezzlement, False pretenses, Forgery, & Uttering.) Do you need additional information?
  3. For each charge, cite the facts that support the elements as you learned them in your textbook.
  4. Would the charges be different if you learned that Dianne was an Iraqi war veteran who lost her arm and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder? Why or why not?
  5. What if Dianne’s car is impounded and inventoried, and they disco

Analyze how your results enhance, support, or change the portions of the OIP you have already developed (the problem statement, flowchart, measurement strategy, and anticipated recommendations).

Hi, I need this assignment by Sunday 2/14/16 at 11:59PM EST. I have attached the previous assignments that go along with this one. The assignment instructions are as follows:

 

Activity Instructions

In this assignment, you will build support for your OIP by collecting and evaluating data. Then you will update the completed portions of your OIP based on your results. Complete the following to prepare for this assignment:

  1. Start by researching and identifying data collection tools that would be appropriate for your OIP.
  2. Select one appropriate tool and use it to collect your data. It may not be possible to collect actual data for your OIP within the time constraints and scope of this course. Instead, you may need to make assumptions about the data you would expect to collect.
  3. Evaluate the data to draw relevant information from your results.
  4. Analyze how your results enhance, support, or change the portions of the OIP you have already developed (the problem statement, flowchart, measurement strategy, and anticipated recommendations).
  5. Finally, modify your OIP, based on your findings.

Then, write a paper that includes the following:

  • A brief evaluation of the most appropriate tools and techniques for collecting real or anticipated data for your OIP.
  • An explanation of why the data collection tool you have chosen is best suited for your OIP. Include the following as appendices to your paper:
    • A prototype (or template) of the tool proposed.
    • A realistic (either real or simulated) data sample using your collection tool.
  • A description of your data collection process. If you are doing a simulated data collection, describe the process you would have used.
  • A summary describing how the data results enhance, support, or change the following:
    • The problem statement.
    • The flowchart.
    • The measurement strategy.
    • Your anticipated recommendations.

Submission Requirements

  • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.

Evaluate the structure of various markets for informing effective decision-making strategies.

I need help with research paper for Toyota

 

  • Apply microeconomic models to real-world situations for informing effective business decisions
  • Analyze business and market data using microeconomic tools for their impact on business sustainability
  • Evaluate the structure of various markets for informing effective decision-making strategies

 

  • Assess the behavior and decisions of individuals and firms for their relation to the microeconomic framework

Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations.

Using the regression results and the other computations from Assignment 1, determine the market structure in which the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company operates.

Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide).

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

  1. Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. Note: In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting QD equal to QS. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price.
  2. Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment.
  3. Analyze the major short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company given the cost functions below. Suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run.

TC = 160,000,000 + 100Q + 0.0063212Q2

VC = 100Q + 0.0063212Q2

MC= 100 + 0.0126424Q

  1. Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.)
  2. Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie, frozen microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion.

(Hints:

  • In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation. Now you need to find the inverse demand equation. Having found that, find the Total Revenue function for your firm (TR is P x Q). From your firm’s Total Revenue function, then find your Marginal Revenue (MR) function.
  • Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1. Determine whether your price higher is or lower.)
  1. Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, which the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions.

(Hints:

  • Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 5. Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here.
  • Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 5 and cost data in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. Determine why this would be a valid assumption.)
  1. Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a plan to implement your recommendations.
  2. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Analyze short-run and long-run production and cost functions.
  • Apply macroeconomic concepts to changes in global and national economies and how they affect economic growth, inflation, interest rates, and wage rates.
  • Evaluate the profit-maximizing price and output level for given operating costs for monopolies and firms in competitive industries.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in managerial economics and globalization.
  • Write clearly and concisely about managerial economics and globalization using proper writing
