You are the project manager for a new multimillion-dollar building renovation for your organization. The company needs to maximize the space that it has, and the best approach is to do a staggered build-out in order to better maximize the space in the existing building. You feel that the best approach was to negotiate with multiple contractors on a fixed-price contract. Different contractors discussed other contracts with you, particularly ones to address the current market fluctuations in the raw materials market. You ignore those other companies and settle on an agreement with a local company that is willing to accept your terms for a fixed-price contract. You find out a few weeks into a 4-month project that raw materials have increased by 250%. The contractor meets with you to discuss a price increase for the project. You have already committed a fixed price to the company and there is no contingency in the budget. The contractor advises that he will go bankrupt if he is forced to finish the project at this price and so the contractor sends you notification that he is stopping work on the project. Word of the work stoppage flies through your company and your boss calls you to his office for an update. You explain what has happened, but he feels that you are responsible for allowing this to get to this point. You are told by your boss to work something out with the contractor and to go into the negotiation with a good plan on how to mitigate the costs. Upon reflection of this situation, consider the below questions and how this situation might have been different with a different contract approach. Do you feel that the contract type selected was incorrect? What kind of abuses did you identify? What kind of positive or negative incentive could have improved this situation?

Scenario: You are a loan officer for White Sands Bank of Taos. Paul Jason, president of P. Jason Corporation, has just left your office. He is interested in an 8-year loan to expand the company's operations. The borrowed funds would be used to purchase new equipment. As evidence of the company's debt-worthiness, Jason provided you with facts (available in the attached Scenario Worksheet). Jason is a very insistent (some would say pushy) man. When you told him you would need additional information before making your decision, he acted offended and said, "What more could you possibly want to know?" You responded you would , at minimum, need complete, audited financial statements.

Develop a minimum 700-word examination of the financial statements and include the following:

• Explain why you would want the financial statements to be audited.
• Discuss the implications of the ratios provided for the lending decision you are to make. That is, does the information paint a favorable picture? Are these ratios relevant to the decision? State why or why not.
• Evaluate trends in the performance of P. Jason Corporation. Identify each performance measure as favorable or unfavorable and explain the significance of each.
• List three other ratios you would want to calculate for P. Jason Corporation, and in your own words explain in detail why you would use each.
• As the loan officer, what else would you do to gain a better understanding of Paul Jason's, and the Corporation's financial picture and why?
• Based on your analysis of P. Jason Corporation, will you recommend approval for the requested loan? Provide specific details to support your decision.

can anyone summarize this?

Robotics and technology have always been something that has been said will “rule the world” someday, and part of that is true! It starts out when they begin taking jobs! One of the most common jobs, in my eyes, that has been taken over by robotics, is proofreading! (Bernazzani, S., N/A) In software like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, we have the ability to tell the computer to proofread our papers, to make sure spelling and punctuation is correct. Another job that has been taken by robots, is a Pin Setter, for bowling! (Jamie Harris, October, 2018) Some advantages of robotics taking over automating production tasks, is how much more efficiently this can be done, how much more product can be made quicker, as well as saving money from paying employees. Some disadvantages that this has is that the employees are left looking for another job, and if the machinery were to ever go down, the engineer of the robot would have to come out to replace whatever broke, which then takes more time to replace, rather than having another employee cover for each other if something comes up.

I think robots will affect the society in the future by taking over the world, literally. In McDonald’s Fast Food, there is now a menu where you pick your order yourself, rather than talking to a cashier at the front desk. Pretty soon, we will have robotics that can do any and everything for us. I like to think of it as the movie Wall-E. Yes, the robotics idea sounds great in the beginning, but there is always the possibility that it goes too far, and we can not do anything to fix the situation.

Operating Profit                        $16,000                                    $15,970

REQUIRED:  

1. Based on the information above calculate a flexed budget based on actual output / sales levels for the month of December 2018                              

2. Describe the purpose of the flexed budget in identifying deviations from planned performance. (limit 60 words)

3. Based on information above reconcile the operating profit under a static budget to the actual operating profit breaking down the reconciliation and identifying specific variances in as much detail as possible.                                                

4. Assuming that the standards were all well set in terms of labor times and rates and material usage and price, suggest one feasible reason for each variance you have identified in (c), from what you know about the company’s performance in December 2018. (HINT: As part of your answer attempt to explain why a favorable variance in one area might explain an unfavorable variance in another area).      (80 word limit)

Short-answer Questions and Problems: Be thorough, clear, and show your work.

1.) In a perfectly competitive market, price is equal to marginal cost in the long run. Explain why this is not true for a monopolist or for firms in a monopolistically competitive market.

2.) Suppose Pizza Hut raises its price by 8%, and as a result, the demand for Little Caesar’s pizza goes up by 4%.

a.) What is the cross-price elasticity of demand for Pizza Hut and Little Caesar’s?

b.) Does your answer to part a indicate that these products substitutes or complements? Explain.

c.) What could Pizza Hut do to make it more likely that that they would increase their total revenue even after this price increase? (Draw only upon the material in chapters 11 and 12 for your answer.)

3.) Briefly explain one idea from microeconomics (a concept, a claim, a model, …) that you did not know before taking this course and that you found interesting or useful. Briefly explain the idea and briefly explain why you find it interesting or useful.

4.) Give an example of a Prisoner’s Dilemma situation. Clearly explain the situation, including the strategies available, the dominant strategy for each side, and the Nash equilibrium (i.e., the outcome that is most likely). Clearly explain why that outcome is most likely. Use a matrix to present your example very clearly (feel free to draw this matrix using Word or attach a picture drawn by hand). Offer two suggestions on how the participants could get out of this situation to their mutual benefit—i.e., how they could end up in the result that benefits both.
