Incomplete

Froes explains that the iodin Lesson of stock is that, Wealth is created when assets move from lower to higher(prenominal)-valued delectations. (p. 12) Froes goes on to spend most of the chapter talking about how receipts destroys wealth and that regimen subsidies (and all government spending is a subsist) also destroys wealth. Apply Frosts peerless lesson of rail line to a specific government tax-and- spend decision that you support or else use the one lesson of furrow to explain why you ar an anarchist.AY) If you argon not an anarchist, then explain how the government creates wealth by axing-and-spending to produce some program somewhere that you support. Why do you think that the tax dollars are damage less to taxpayers than the value of the government program you selected? This provoket be a zero-sum game that happens to benefit you personally. The One Lesson of Business is about wealth creation. For example, I cant simply defend Medicare because I like that it pays for my m opposites healthcare. That doesnt explain whether Medicare creates wealth.I would need to unloosen whether Medicares total benefits to society are greater than its approach to society. If government doesnt create value somewhere, then we would be better off without it and we should be anarchists. AY) If you are an anarchist, then explain why all taxation and government spending (subsidies) should be eliminated. In particular, you should take on the biggest spending programs of government defense, healthcare (mostly Medicare), pensions (mostly Social Security), and education.These programs deem for over 2/3 of total government spending (including state and local government), so if you are an anarchist, you should focus on where most of the money goes. . Froes says that businesses that are less bureaucratic and more free- market place will be more successful. For example, on page 16, Froes says that, Organizations impose taxes, subsidies, and price controls inside their co mpanies that lead to unprofitable decisions. Pick one of the following questions and indicate whether you feel chosen to address X or Y X) How do corporations and other organizations tax the individuals, divisions, and/pr departments within the organization? Give a specific example. Do not use any government mandated taxes as your example. Would the organization be better off if it completely avoided the kind of taxation in your example? Y) How do organizations impose price controls? Give an example where a bureaucrat (manager) imposes a price control (a pre-determined, stiff price) upon the people in the organization.Explain whether it is better to eliminate this particular price control. 7. Suppose you have capital that is currently worth $1,000 and your cost of capital (WAC) is 10%/ class. How much operating profit per year would you need to earn to be generating economic value by staying in business according to EVA? 8. deliberate of a pacific example outside of the textbook where someone in an organization (team, school, business, government, etc. ) do a heavy(a) decision and use Frosts rational actor paradigm to diagnose the problem. A) What is the problem (very briefly)? B) What caused the bad decision?C) How could you fix the problem? Could anyone change the organizational structure, information, incentives, (or culture)? How well would your proposed change solve the problem? 9. You travelled to Memphis over the weekend but need to return to work in Columbus early Monday morning. On Sunday afternoon, your flight is postponed until Monday night due to hurricane Eke. Since this is a pleasure trip, you bought a non-refundable ticket for $250. You can noneffervescent get a ticket on a Greyhound bus for $90 and still get fellowship by 6AMA. Under what circumstances should you buy the Greyhound ticket and ride the dog overnight? 0. You are the occupation manager for Widgets, Inc. Current production is 1,000 widgets and all have been ordered by your r egular customers. The auditory sensation rings and a new customer wants to buy 1 more widget and offers you $1,000 if you increase production to 1,001 widgets. Should you accept this offer? Remember that it is often harder to make decisions if you Just try o estimate the cost than if you figure out the total profit. You do not need to know what the other customers paid. Below are your average total cost which is the total cost divided by the quantity of widgets.Quantity Average essence Cost Current Production 1 ,oho $200 Make One More? 1,001 $201 A) What is the marginal tax of selling one more? B) What is the total cost currently (selling 1000 unit of measurements) C) What would the total cost be if you sell 1001 units? D) What is the marginal cost of producing the 1st widget? E) What do you tell the new customer? 11. A) Your blotto received an REP (request for proposal) on a wire harness from GM hat will acquire an enthronization with fixed costs of $1 million and a constant marginal cost per unit of $1 with expected sales of 1 million units.What is the break-even price per unit that you will need to restate in order to avoid losing money? B) GM agrees to the price you quoted, and then hands you with a shoot round (purchase order) for 0. 5 million units, what do you say? Why? 12. You have fixed costs of $100/year, and you can produce and sell 100 units per year but you sell a commodity, so you are at the mercy of the going market price and you cannot raise your price above whatever price the market is currently at. Your marginal cost is $5. If the market price declines, what is your break-even price below which you will shut down?Note that there are two different answers for two different possible scenarios. Give both possible answers for full credit. Dont worry about the opportunity cost of capital (WAC). Assume that that is included within the fixed cost figure. 13. Suppose there are two technologies for producing pizzas in Macaque. The solar oven requires $100 in fixed costs, but $9 in marginal costs versus the electric oven which requires $50 in fixed costs but $10 in marginal costs due to the high cost f electricity.What quantity of production will make you indifferent between the two different technologies? This is useful because in making capital expenditure decisions there is often this tradeoff and finding the break-even quantity helps strategies about which investment will be most profitable. The idea is that for small quantities one technology will have higher total costs and for large quantities the other technology will have higher total costs. Your bloodline is to see what quantity makes you indifferent between the two technologies because they have the same total cost.
