Graphing Assignment # 2 – check Blackboard for the due date – This is copyrighted material. You are given the following information about the Goodell Cargo Shipping Company, Inc. in Rochester, Minnesota. The graph you are about to construct will appear as the 3rd graph in your presentation to the Board of Directors as they try to get a handle on the supply and demand for their cargo shipping. This is copyrighted material. From 2009-2022, the prices of their cargo shipping measured in $100’s of US Dollars, was: 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10. During that time, the corresponding amounts that the Goodell Corporation was willing to sell at those same prices, the quantity supplied, measured in 1,000’s of shipments was: 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2. Meanwhile, the amount that consumers were willing to purchase at those same prices, the quantity demanded, also measured in 1,000’s of units, was: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. The production data was retrieved from Fortune magazine, the October 1, 2023 edition on pages 67-70 in an article written by Joseph Vassar,entitled “How Much Cargo Can One Firm Ship?” This is copyrighted material. This is copyrighted material. a. In one clearly constructed, legible, and properly labeled graph created using Excel, construct the supply and demand curves that correspond to the provided data. (45 pts). This is copyrighted material. b. Referencing the curves constructed in part A, clearly state the equilibrium price and quantity. Provide actual numbers and state where they are in your graph. (3 pts). This is copyrighted material. c. Assume that there is then a change in supply, the supply increases, in the marketplace. State what would happen the equilibrium price and quantity now? And where did the curve shift on the graph? Be specific where it shifted (5 pts). This is copyrighted material. d. Again, based on what has happened in part c, and using your knowledge of the determinants of supply and demand, and referencing only the curves in part A, offer one concrete cause as to why that supply may have moved in the direction it did. Be specific. Give a real-world answer/example. Offering answers that are generic and/or are already used in the textbook will not be worth much in terms of points. (7 pts). This is copyrighted material. Graphs for this assignment must be properly constructed and created using Excel. Prepare your assignment as a Word document with embedded Excel charts. Number each step of the assignment. The assignment may be submitted to Turnitin as a Word or .pdf document. Be sure to include your name at the top of the assignment before submitting. This graphing assignment is worth 60 points. This is copyrighted material

For this assignment, select a specific product made by a single specific company

Posted on | by Stephanie

For this assignment, select a specific product made by a single specific company. Select something you’re interested in and something you know about (by choosing something you know will greatly limit any actual research you’ll need to do). This project is not designed to have you do research (information on the web or in print). However, sometimes, finding some basics facts is useful.
Explain your answers. Graphs not needed. You may not know some of the answers, but the point is for you to make educational speculations about the answers using the concepts we’ve learned in this class.
Each question should be answered in 70-80 words for this assignment. (about 375 words in total)
Prompt
1) What is your product? What is the firm who makes it? In what industry does this firm operate? Why did you select this product / industry?
2) Describe a significant change in demand for this product in the recent or distant past and describe what caused that change. What do you predict will be the next significant change in demand in the future and why? Note: the change can be specific to only the product or it can be something that affects the whole industry.
3) Describe a significant change in supply for this product in the recent or distant past. What caused the change? What do you predict will be the next significant change in supply in the future and why? Note: the change can be specific to only the product or it can be something that affects the whole industry.
4) Looking at your product only (not all of the products in the industry), describe how elastic or inelastic you think demand might be and justify your position. Looking at the demand for the whole industry’s products, describe how the elasticity compares to just the demand for your product and explain any difference (e.g. elasticity of demand for all cereal versus demand for just Cheerios). Finally, describe how elastic you think supply might be.
5) Rate, using a scale of 0 (nothing like) to 10 (exactly like), how closely your industry fits the model for perfect competition? Make sure to explain your answer referring to all assumptions of the market in perfect competition model.
Include any references you used in your research at the end of your essay. As always, college-level writing is required. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation will be graded.

PUT YOUR NAME ON TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE WORD DOCUMENT. First you will create both radar and line charts for each country individually. Copy and paste a screen shot (please crop) onto a single Word document. Then you will create a radar map that includes 1 high income, 1 medium income, 1 low income and Democratic Republic Congo. Copy and paste on to the existing Word document. Now read the attached LPI 2018 report. In full sentences explain the differences in the following indicators : Overall Customs Infrastructure International shipments Logistics competence Tracking & tracing Timeliness. The written portion of this report will be a page or three in length. What are difference in geographic regions in general? What does country income have to do with it? If you were sending capital projects equipment (very large scale like generators the size of a house) how would you get the equipment there – meaning both mode of transport and via what countries if equipment originating in Brazil? As a future logistician why is it relevant that you know about the indicators (as presented by World Bank) of a specific country? The completed report will have the charts you have created and copied and pasted as well as your couple of pages of answers to these questions. Use your own words for this short report and cite where your data is from along with any additional references that you use. This should be at the end and labeled references.

Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in

Posted on | by Stephanie

Macroeconomic analysis deals with the crucial issue of government involvement in the operation of “free market economy.” The Keynesian model suggests that it is the responsibility of the government to help to stabilize the economy. Stabilization policies (demand-side and supply-side policies) are undertaken by the federal government to counteract business cycle fluctuations and prevent high rates of unemployment and inflation. Demand side policies are government attempts to alter aggregate demand (AD) through using fiscal (cutting taxes and increasing government spending) or monetary policy (reducing interest rates). To shift the AD to the right, the government has to increase the government spending (the G-component of AD) causing consumer expenditures (the C-component of AD) to increase. Alternatively the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates reducing the cost of borrowing thereby encouraging consumer spending and investment borrowing. Both policies will lead to an increase in AD.
Develop an essay discussing the fiscal and the monetary policies adopted and implemented by the federal during the Great Recession and their impacts on the U.S. economy. Complete this essay in a Microsoft Word document, and in APA format. Please note that a minimum of 1500 words for your essay is required.
Your paper should be structured as follows
