Basically problem identification requires following questions to be answered:

1)Who?-would need it.

2)What?- is needed.

3)When?-it is needed.

4)Where?-it is needed.

5)Why?-it is neded.

6)How many?- are needed.

Take an example of a faucet handle which is to be turned CW/CCW to ON/OFF the faucet.Now people have complaint that the handle slips when operated with soapy and wet hands. Now due to some miscommunication with the market survey team there are some suggestions for handle which are more aesthetically pleasing than the present ones and economically good but these are also going to slipped with wet and soapy hands. If these handles are designed and replaced with the old ones this would be called as the unsuccessful identification of problem.

Proposals are usually practical documents, serving a specific need. The first step is identifying that problem or need and its context; the second is proposing specific, practical steps to resolve it. 1. Identify a problem that needs to be solved in your school, workplace, or community/neighborhood. (needs to be healthcare related) 2. For whom is the problem a problem? How will these people suffer if the problem is not solved? 3. Who has the power to solve the problem and...

Show each step clearly. The problem should be approached by first computing the cost of the different components of capital. Merely writing the answers or skipping crucial steps will not earn partial credit. Royce Manufacturing must calculate its weighted average cost of capital in order to evaluate new investment opportunities. The firm will raise $250,000,000 for a new manufacturing plant. Of this amount, $110,000,000 will be in the form of debt, $90,000,000 in new preferred stock, and the remaining capital...
