You are a small feedlot owner. You have 250 steers that you are feeding that you expect to slaughter in late November. They should weigh 1250 pounds at slaughter. You want to hedge about half of these steers. Create a trade for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in a word document. Include the date, contract size, and long or short. (Hint: the Live Cattle contract is for slaughter cattle and each contract is 40,000 lbs.)

You have enough corn on hand to feed these steers. However, after you sell them in November, you will be buying more calves to feed and you need to buy corn for them. You want to protect against possibly higher corn prices by executing a long hedge. (Assume you need 15,000 bushel of corn, three contracts.) Do the same for this contract, date, size and long or short, in the same document.

As vice president of sales for a rapidly growing company, you are grappling with the question of expanding the size of your direct sales force (from its current level of 60 national salespeople). You are considering hiring from five to 10 additional personnel. How would you estimate the additional dollar cost of each additional salesperson? Based on your company’s past sales experience, how would you estimate the expected net revenue generated by an additional salesperson? (Be specific about the information you might use to derive this estimate.) How would you use these cost and revenue estimates to determine whether a sales force increase (or possibly a decrease) is warranted? Complete this essay in a Microsoft Word document, APA formatted and then submit it by midnight, Day 7. Your assignment should be about two pages, double spaced.

What does it mean to lead a meaningful life? Consider the following hypothetical scenario: suppose someone (a genie, or whatever) had the power to transform you into a person who would spend the rest of your life perfectly happy, but the catch is that you would also have to spend the rest of your life doing something completely pointless, like counting blades of grass, or something grotesque (like in Wielenberg's example). You will be transformed into a person who really enjoys doing the pointless or grotesque activity. Would you accept this "gift"? Or would you rather choose to continue living your normal life - where you can choose to engage in a variety of activities which are more purposeful, but with no guarantee of success or happiness? In other words, what ultimately matters for a meaningful life? Is it just happiness, or something more? at least 250 word
