How your impression of the field of psychology has changed compared to your assumptions at the beginning of the semester?

/in /by

Do not do research for this question, but you must give a full, well-rounded answer. You will write a short paper, approximately 2 pages, no more than 3.

Make use of events in your life or current affairs — situations which have perplexed you or given you difficulty — and describe possible solutions, interventions or viewpoints which are informed from material you learned this semester in our class. Use proper names of psychologists, and name theories accurately.

Attached below is my ‘first impression’ paper of a psychologist’s life in a day. This assignment is a follow up assignment in which I need to discuss what have changed based on what I learned in class. I might need someone that have knowledge about his field and could include some psychologist name, some psychology concepts.

Effectively Impacting the Consumer Through Digital Media

/in /by

In this blog assignment, you will discuss how to meet a consumer’s needs by analyzing digital media.

After analyzing your chosen example, respond to the following questions in your blog post:

  • What was done successfully to meet the wants and needs of the target audience?
  • How was the social and consumer experience addressed? Was this done successfully? Explain.
  • How were the digital media followers handled?
  • Is there something that could have been done differently to make that experience more efficient?

Take a look at the company’s current website, major social
media page, and/or mobile site, if applicable. What is the company doing
effectively now? How are ethical engagements in social media helping
with effectiveness? If the company is using a mobile application, how
does the app meet the consumer’s need?

First, select one of the examples of digital media below:

Your paper should be typed, double-spaced (no extra spacing between paragraphs), and at least 500 words long. You have to use at least one academic secondary source in addition to your primary source. This means a legit, scholarly article, NOT dictionary.com or Wikipedia and for the love of all that’s holy, not Sparknotes. Opinion pieces, blogs, and non-scholarly websites do not count as academic sources. Use academic journal articles (see “databases” on the library website), books or book chapters, legitimate academic sites, etc.

Use brief quotes from both primary and secondary sources to support your thesis. You must document your sources in the MLA style. You may not recycle works submitted in other classes. You may not use any fact, quotation, or idea from any other source without EXPLICITLY documenting it. Failure to properly document sources is plagiarism.

Present an assertive thesis that proves a relevant point about the text. Make sure you don’t just summarize the work. Avoid arguing the obvious (eg, “Jaws is about a shark”). Instead, think “This is what the shark represents”. The contents of the paper should all work towards proving this thesis. Use quotes and examples from the texts to help prove your point, but avoid extensive paraphrasing of the text. Do not summarize the text you are discussing; assume your audience has read the texts in question. Demonstrate throughout the paper why your point is relevant and how it helps us reach a greater understanding of the work in question. In any case, your paper needs to include one of the texts we’ve discussed and your secondary source in a relevant manner.

With the help of your CFO, you have put together the following preliminary budget figures, assignment help

/in /by

With the help of your CFO, you have put together the following preliminary budget figures based on last year’s numbers for a planned production and sales level of 4,000 units per year:

Building depreciation

$200,000/yr.

Machine operators

$100,000/yr.

Management staff

$400,000/yr.

Direct materials

$4,000,000/yr.

Other expenses that seem to vary based on production levels

$3,000,000/yr.

Other expenses that don’t seem to vary

$1,300,000/yr.

Selling price per unit

$5,000/unit

Utilities:

This category is difficult to analyze; a part of it is related to the building’s heat and light, whereas a part of it is used in the manufacturing process itself. You have the following data to which you will apply the high-low method:

  • When there is no production, utility costs are $20,000/month
  • When production levels reached 4,000 units/month, utility costs totaled $40,000/month

You are planning for the future and working on a report based on data from last year’s actual performance. You are going to use the breakeven formula to determine the businesses breakeven point and to answer some important questions regarding your data.

Using only the data from last year’s actual performance write a report answering the following questions:

  1. Which of these 8 cost categories would be considered variable, and which fixed, and explain why?
  2. Which costs would be considered mixed (i.e., semi-variable or semi-fixed)?
  3. Ignoring utility costs altogether, compute the contribution margin per unit, in dollars and in percentage and the breakeven level of sales?
  4. Ignoring utility costs altogether, if instead of breaking even, the firm wants to make $10,000/month profit, answer the following:
    • How many units must be sold each month?
    • To how many sales dollars is this unit volume equivalent?
  5. In year 2, the CEO plans to add $300,000/yr. expense in added administrative salaried headcount. Ignoring utility costs altogether, how many additional units must be sold just to pay for this added expense?
