two sections reflection to four comprehensives 300 words reading reflection 500 words 1

1. Xi Jinping’s addition to Chinese communist party ideology are translated as the “Four Comprehensives.”

  • Comprehensively build a moderately prosperous society
  • Comprehensively deepen reform
  • Comprehensively govern the nation according to law
  • Comprehensively strictly govern the Party

In a short paragraph, evaluate these ideological goals: What do you notice about these four elements? If these are the goals of the party and meeting these goals gives the CCP legitimacy, do you think they are reasonable goals? How will we know if they are met? Does anything jump out at you as different from other ideologies that came out before it (i.e. MAO Zedong Thought, DENG Xiaoping Theory, Three Represents, and Harmonious Society)?

2. Reading any one of four articles and write a reading reflection in 500 words (focus on reflection instead of summary)

Consider the following three-person stage game: Players I and 2 choose pairs. the first element being Up (U) or Down (D) and the second being Heads (H) or Tails (T). Player 3 chooses Right or Left. Players I and 2 receive 0 regardless of what happens. Player 3's payoff is I if I and 2 both chose Up and he went Right, or if 1 and 2 both chose Down and he went Left; otherwise he gets 0. Notice that the choice of H or T is irrelevant to the payoffs.

Suppose player 3’s choices are observable, that whether 1 and 2 play Up or Down is observable, but that the public information yt about their choice of H or T is only the total number of H chosen by both players. Thus, if yt is 2 or 0, it reveals the action of players 1 and 2. If yt = 1, then the actions of players 1 and 2 are common knowledge for players 1 and 2 (since it is common knowledge that they each known their own action), but player 3 does not know which player played H.

Hello buddy, everything is included in the upload. Please let me know if you need any information or documents for this assignment. Make sure to read over the rubric and guidelines thoroughly, which is also provided in the upload. Thank you!

P.S. I don’t have the presentation information so please let me know if you need that as well to complete this assignment.

Budgeting and Accounting

Choose an item that you would like to manufacture.  You do not actually need to manufacture something, but will proceed through the assignment as if you were planning on manufacturing the item you have selected.  The product should require materials and labor and be something that you are familiar with in process from start to finish.  The product must be useful and marketable.  You can choose something as simple as making chocolate chip cookies, a type of craft, or something more complicated. Consider production as if you were making the product from beginning to end, and not as if using a kit.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Choose a product to manufacture and describe the manufacturing process.
  2. Prepare the following budgets for 1 quarter, broken down monthly, regarding your chosen item: 
    • estimated sales budget
    • estimated direct materials budget
    • estimated direct labors budget
    • estimated manufacturing overhead budget
    • estimated selling and administrative expenses
    • estimated income statement. 
  3. Classify all manufacturing costs and selling and administrative expenses as either variable or fixed.
  4. Prepare a contribution margin income statement separating all variable and fixed costs into their own categories.
  5. Determine the breakeven point in units and dollars.  Also determine the number of units and dollars that need to be sold to make a target profit of $5,000 a month.
  6. Identify what types of trends you should be aware of in the industry and who the primary competitors are.
  7. Answer the following question: If you had to improve the bottom line, what would you do and what concerns would you have going forward?
  8. Choose a piece of equipment that you might consider purchasing to increase production of your item and address the following questions: What types of capital budgeting factors would you look at when deciding whether to do this?  What would be the relevant costs that you would consider in this decision?

Your final project should be in the form of a paper, using Microsoft Word, that addresses each of these different areas.  Steps #1, 6, 7 and 8 will be in paragraph form and Steps #2, 3, 4 and 5 will involve numerical calculations that should be put into the form of a table in proper format and included as part of the paper.  You should show any calculations in a table within Word.  Your paper should be 3-6 double-spaced pages (body of the paper)
