We are evaluating a project that costs $768,000, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 57,000 units per year. Price per unit is $60, variable cost per unit is $35, and fixed costs are $770,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 15 percent on this project. |

Please answer ALL of the questions!
At the end of the year, a company offered to buy 4,100 units of
a product from X Company for a special price of $12.00 each instead
of the company's regular price of $18.00 each. The following
information relates to the 68,400 units of the product that X
Company made and sold to its regular customers during the
year:
| Per-Unit | Total | ||
| Cost of goods sold | $9.43 | $645,012 | |
| Period costs | 2.60 | 177,840 | |
| Total | $12.03 | $822,852 | |
Fixed cost of goods sold for the year were $151,848, and fixed
period costs were $78,660. Variable period costs include selling
commissions equal to 4% of revenue.
6. Profit on the special order is
| Tries 0/3 |
7. Assume the following two changes for the special order: 1)
variable cost of goods sold will decrease by $0.87 per unit, and 2)
there will be no selling commissions. What would be the effect of
these two changes on the special order profit?
| Tries 0/3 |
8. There is concern that regular customers will find out about the
special order, and X Company's regular sales will fall by 700
units. As a result of these lost sales, X Company's profits would
fall by

This video is a brief tale of two mice and two humans who live in a maze and one day are faced with change: someone moves their cheese. This story is about adjusting attitudes toward change in life, especially at work. Change occurs whether a person is ready or not, but the author affirms that it can be positive. His principles are to anticipate change, let go of the old, and do what you would do if you were not afraid.
"Who Moved My Cheese" is a way to deal with change in your work and in your life. It was written in the style of a parable or business fable. The text describes change in one's work and life, and four typical reactions to those changes by two mice ("Sniff" and "Scurry,") and two "little people" ("Hem" and "Haw."), during their hunt for cheese.
The cheese as something related to our livelihoods—our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in—although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have is no longer available.

We are evaluating a project that costs $520,000, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project.

Find the future value of the following annuities. The first payment in these annuities is made at the end of Year 1; that is, they are ordinary annuities. Round your answers to the nearest cent. (Notes: If you are using a financial calculator, you can enter the known values and then press the appropriate key to find the unknown variable. Then, without clearing the TVM register, you can "override" the variable that changes by simply entering a new value for it and then pressing the key for the unknown variable to obtain the second answer. This procedure can be used in many situations, to see how changes in input variables affect the output variable. Also, note that you can leave values in the TVM register, switch to Begin Mode, press FV, and find the FV of the annuity due.)

Now rework parts a, b, and c assuming that payments are made at the beginning of each year; that is, they are annuities due.

Explore jobs related to your area of study in relationship to the
Information Technology field. Pick an architecture category from
computer, information, network, software,
technology, and security architecture. Select three positions which
would indicate a career path.
Complete a 2-3-page paper with an abstract and conclusion (plus cover sheet and reference page) that discusses the job duties and skills necessary for the position in the current job market. You should include the requirements such as experience, education, certifications, along with salary ranges. This can be illustrated in a table of the positions with criteria for an easy visual comparison.
Discuss related professional organizations, career development resources and other methods to stay current in the position with changes to technology and progress through the career path.

What are some of the consequences (psychologically, socially, emotionally) of the fact that girls mature about 2 years earlier than boys during puberty?
Why do YOU think obesity is such an issue in America, particularly for adolescents and children? What do you think are the most important contributing factors?
Do you think body image is an issue for males in the same way that it is for females? Why/ why not?
What is your opinion on the start times of schools, given the video clip you watched regarding sleep changes in adolescence?
website- pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/inside-the-teenage-brain., from 32:15-42:13).
Discuss whether or not you think males and females should be separated on sports teams prior to puberty. Technically, they have equal physical strength prior to puberty. But of course this changes with puberty…should they be separated beforehand in preparation for what is to come later? Or should they be allowed to play together? What about after puberty…should post-pubescent males or females who wish to (and would be capable of) participate(ing) on a sports team with members of the opposite sex (e.g., female football players or male field hockey players) be allowed to do so?
