Some companies have built a business model on social responsibility. Some see “social responsibility” as a need component for marketing in the future. Specifically, knowing what you now know about consumer-buying behavior, is “socially responsible” a determinant for future success, or just a trend? State the opposing arguments to social responsibility being a determinant for marketing success or a trend; compare and contrast these arguments in terms of benefits and detrimental effects on individuals, businesses, and the societies or nations in which they function. Finally, evaluate the arguments, supporting your stance for one argument over the other.

Please write a paragraph or two for each question:

You are working as a graduate within the engineering department of a manufacturing and consulting focused public listed company. You and your team are working on the post-COVID recovery and how best to allocate capital. Your team has $1,000,000 in capital at their disposal.

The accountants are expected to use terms which may not be fully understood by the greater department. So your memo will be distributed before the call or you may be asked to speak on the call to assist everyone's understanding. The memo should discuss each of the following:

1. A new product line is also being proposed and it is expected that the accountants will discuss this option. Explain the difference between fixed and variable costs and state at least three examples of each that the company may incur.

2. Some employees have raised their concern that the new product line will not be profitable and that it will cost more to produce the new product than will be made. Explain the break even point with particular focus on why a break even point is not immediate but rather is reached over time.

Using the red, blue, yellow and green beads, devise and lay out a three color code for each of the following letters (codon). For example Z = green : red : green.

In the spaces below the letter, record your “code”.

                E:            H:            I:            K:            L:

_ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ _

               O:           S:            T:            U:

_ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ _

Create codons for:    Start:            Stop:            Space:

                 _ _ _            _ _ _              _ _ _

Using this code, align the beads corresponding to the appropriate letter to write the following sentence (don’t forget start, space and stop): The mouse likes most cheese

How many beads did you use?

There are multiple ways your cells can read a sequence of DNA and build slightly different proteins from the same strand. We will not go through the process here, but as an illustration of this “alternate splicing”, remove codons (beads) 52 - 66 from your sentence above.

What does the sentence say now? (re-write the entire sentence)

Mutations are simply changes in the sequence of nucleotides. There are three ways this occurs:

1. Change a nucleotide(s)

2. Remove a nucleotide(s)

3. Add a nucleotide(s)

Using the sentence from exercise 2B:

Change the 24th bead to a different color. What does the sentence say now (re-read the entire sentence)? Does the sentence still make sense?

Replace the 24th bead and remove the 20th bead (remember what was there). What does the sentence say (re-read the entire sentence)? Does the sentence still make sense? If it doesn’t make sense as a sentence, are there any words that do? If so, what words still make sense?

Replace the 20th bead and add one between bead numbers 50 and 51. What does the sentence say now? Does the sentence still make sense?

In 3.a (above) you mutated one letter. What role do you think the redundancy of the genetic code plays in this type of change?

Based on your observations, why do you suppose the mutations we made in 3.b and 3.c are called frame shift mutations?

Which mutations do you suspect have the greatest consequence? Why?
