Pacific Cruises provides standard riverboat cruises for tourists on the Hawkesbury River. The average cruise has 90 passengers on board. Each passenger pays $100 for a day’s cruising. The riverboat cruises 120 days each year in meeting current demand. There are 14 crew who are each paid an average of $130 per cruise. The crew is paid only when the boat sails. Other variable costs are for refreshments, which average $20 per passenger per cruise, and fuel which averages $400 per cruise. Total annual fixed costs are $380,000.

REQUIRED
(a) Calculate revenue and variable costs for each cruise.

(b) Calculate the number of cruises needed annually to break even.

(c) Using the contribution margin approach calculate the number of cruises needed to annually earn $500,000 profit over breakeven. Discuss whether this profit goal is realistic under current conditions and possible assumptions and limitations of the “cost / volume / profit model” at such higher volume levels. (word limit 60)

(d) Pacific Cruises is considering replacing the existing one-day cruises as detailed above with a one-day luxury cruise costing more at $180 per passenger. Under this new proposal it is estimated that demand will increase, requiring the boat to cruise for 150 days each year with each cruise taking 50 passengers. Other costs to change from the original offer include refreshments, up from $20 to $30 per passenger, and annual fixed costs to increase from $380,000 to $450,000. All other variable costs remain the same per passenger as per the standard cruise offer.
(i) Calculate the number of cruises needed annually to break even.

(ii) Given Pacific Cruises wants to maximize total yearly profit discuss, justifying your answer, whether they should continue with the existing standard cruise or replace it with the luxury cruise. Comment on the level of risk of each proposal and the possibility of making a loss. (Please note the boat has the same useful life / residual value under either the standard or luxury offer. The boat remains docked at the harbour when not in use having no alternate use.) Show all workings/ calculations as part of your answer. (limit 80 words)

(e)Explain to Pacific Cruises’ management how they would be able to integrate cost-volume-profit analysis into their broader planning. As part of your answer, discuss three ways to increase profit and explain how cost volume profit analysis is useful in evaluating the different alternatives considered. (150 words limit)

Gender and Age Roles in Magazine Advertisements

In this project, you will investigate gender and age stereotypes in magazines. Look at one widely circulated magazine, and evaluate how ads depict males and females of various ages (adolescence, and early, middle, and late adulthood). You should evaluate physical appearance, personality, and behaviors as they are depicted in the magazine ads. You must use the data sheet provided below to help organize your impressions. After completing the data collection, write a brief report that answers the questions that follow.

Writing Style

Your paper must be written APA style.

It must include reference page, abstract, cover page, and a running head APA style.

It must be 2-3 pages, excluding the cover page and reference page.

Questions:

• Are all age groups represented in advertisements?

• Who is underrepresented and overrepresented? Why do you think this is so?

• Compare the various groups in terms of the characteristics used to portray them. What generalizations about age and gender do these portrayals convey? Write a well thought analysis (about 200 words) on the comparison.

Immigrants moved to this country with the American dream in mind, that this land was filled with opportunity and if they worked hard they could become wealthy and live a good life. This proved to be false, as only a few white males truly had the opportunity to rise to the top, and the majority of immigrants lived in horrible tenement homes and worked in dangerous conditions. My question is, if moving to America turned out to be this way where people are living in poverty, why did people continue to migrate here? Did they not hear about the actuality of the working conditions? Did they just keep holding onto hope of becoming wealthy? Or were their lives that bad in their home countries to where the harsh conditions of living and working in America were better?

This essay is an exploration of the idea of vanilla versus kink, which in many ways is a discussion about what counts as "normal." VANILLA. As we've learned this quarter, sexual behavior across the globe is incredibly diverse. What is "vanilla" sex in America? Provide examples. Next, explain how vanilla sex is culturally/socially constructed. Can you think of examples of sex acts in America that are "vanilla" but might be considered kinky or even disgusting elsewhere? KINK. In 2016 America, kink is "in." If we look at the data coming out of the erotica and porn industries, the BDSM/kink genres are the fastest growing. What is "kink?" What is BDSM? How are they different from "vanilla?" In your judgment, what do you think it is about American culture in general that leads many of its people to be curious about or dabble in kink? Can you think of any sex acts that today might be thought of as "vanilla" in America but maybe once were thought of as kinky? Can you think of examples of "kinky" things that many vanilla people try? Finally, share your thoughts about the distinction between "vanilla" and "kink." Where is the line drawn, if at all?
