General: The assessment should be 1 full page, typed, double-spaced, and should conform to the APA formatting and content guidelines for the course.
Prompt: For your Image Archive Paper, you used the digital image archives available through the library’s web resources to construct an argument for the inclusion of a single image in the class collection. The class collection that came from this exercise is now available on Blackboard, and it will be used to construct another argument – now informed by the texts you’ve read and discussed thus far this semester. This argument will focus on the effect of viewing the images as a collection.
How do these images, taken together, create a particular picture of the state?
How do they complement and complicate each other?
If limited to these images, how would you use them to illustrate a particular vision of South Carolina presented in either South Carolina in the Modern Age or Red Hills and Cotton or Lemon Swamp?
Citing specific images, and at least one written text, construct a response to the above questions. You need not make direct reference to every image. However, you will need to show that you have taken all of the images into consideration when coming to your conclusions. *Please note that this can include the supplemental images as well.
Titles of books, journals, magazines, websites, movies, anthologies, and television shows and other similar “large” units are italicized every time you use them.
Titles of articles, short stories, webpages, individual episodes of televisions shows, poems and other “small” items found inside of “large” items are enclosed in parentheses every time you use them.
Nothing is every underlined if you are composing on a computer. Nothing ever is both enclosed in parentheses and italicized.

In the Abercrombie & Fitch’s case Samantha, who is a practicing Muslim and wears a Hijab went in for an interview. The interview went well and the hiring manager recommended that she be hired but was worried that her Hijab would violate the no hat policy. After talking to another manger they decided to not hire her. The EEOC sued on Samantha’s behalf and won. However the Supreme Court overturned the decision of Title VII. Stating that she had not mentioned that she would need accommodation. Therefore it was OK for them to not hire them. Employees should not state that they need accommodation because of their religion or any other protected right. Title VII states “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion. It generally applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including federal, state, and local governments. Title VII also applies to private and public colleges and universities, employment agencies, and labor organizations” (http://www.aauw.org/what-we-do/legal-resources/know-your-rights-at-work/title-vii/). Therefore she should be protected under the law. However since Abercrombie had a no hat policy, and Samantha did not say she needed religious accommodation the case was dismissed. Personally I believe this is wrong however since there is an overlap in business activity and hiring regulations. The positives are a company has the freedom to hire whoever they want. Some negatives is that hiring regulations could be changed due to Title VII. Therefore you cannot hire someone based on their interview but they still may be lawsuit coming. Im using the duty ethical theory. I believe that you should be hired regardless of any regulations. If you fit the job I believe you should be able to do the things you need to do.

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the elements of the different types of employment relationships and to analyze the ethics behind potentially discriminatory employment policies.
Assignment Steps
Scenario: An employee is hired by Dream Massage to be a massage therapist. She is hired as an independent contractor and, therefore, receives no tax withholding or employment benefits. Dream Massage requires the employee to work a set schedule, provides her clients and all her massage products, and exercises complete control over how she does her work. In addition, when the employee shows up to work the first day, she is informed by her employer she cannot wear her hijab as it violates the company’s dress policy.
Create a 700- to 1,050-word report in which you examine the employment issues presented in the scenario, including the following:
Analyze whether the employee qualifies as an employee or independent contractor.
Discuss whether Dream Massage has potentially violated any employment discrimination laws.
Analyze the ethical considerations behind maintaining a rigid company dress policy.
Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

POL 500 8-1 Discussion: Polls and Surveys, Uses and Limitations
dentify a poll on the RealClearPolitics website. Spend time looking at the methodology behind that poll. Evaluate the reliability of the selected poll by discussing, for instance, the number of participants, the margin of error, or the type of questions asked. Explain the strengths and weaknesses of that poll. What would you do differently if you were to conduct a similar survey?
Once you have completed your initial post, respond to at least two of your classmates. In your responses, discuss the reliability of polls in American politics and how you would attempt to minimize the weaknesses of this type of research.
Refer to the Discussion Rubric for directions on completing these discussions.

Your first paper is an comparative analysis of a two primary sources—two essays, one by Benjamin Franklin and one by Thomas Jefferson—and how the two Founding Fathers conceived of “race” in early America.
Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin are two of the most famous and celebrated of the Founding Fathers. Franklin was one of the few founders to explicit reject slavery and Jefferson, of course, wrote the immortal words in the Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Write an essay in which you analyze these men’s positions on race and slavery using ONLY the documents provided. That is, this is a document analysis so I don’t want you doing outside research. Read the documents and use them to compare and contrast Franklin and Jefferson’s views on this issue.
Here are some questions you should grapple with in your paper:
What were their positions on slavery? What it good of bad for the colonies/United States (note the context is different as one is written after independence had largely been secured).
What were their positions on race?
Are the two related? (i.e. their positions on race and slavery)
Finally, WHY do you think they held these positions and what does this tell us about conceptions of “race” and “slavery” in early America?
Note: This is a historical document analysis. The point of your paper is NEITHER to condemn NOR to defend these men’s positions. Your personal opinion is not my concern. Rather, analyze HOW they agree and/or disagree and WHY they held these opinions. Do not use the first person–again, this is not your opinion.
I highly recommend NOT using outside sources for two reasons. One, it’s a plagiarism trap. I’m not looking for other peoples’ analysis of Jefferson and Franklin but yours. If you do use outside sources and don’t cite them correctly you run the risk of plagiarizing–which counts even when unintentional. Second, when you read up on what other say about a document you do not tend to grapple with the document itself. Read these documents and use them to answer the questions. Quote them directly and analyze what each quotes mean. For example, when Jefferson rejected the suggestion of retain[ing] and incorporat[ing] the blacks into the state” because he argued there were “deep rooted prejudices” and that they had sustained “grave injuries” what did he MEAN. Do you see how I used the text directly there to formulate that question?
Your paper should be about 3-4 pages, double spaced, 12 pt. font, with 1 inch margins. (Ca. 1000 words).

This is the first of our portfolio discussion forums. It will be a chance for us to post our initial portfolio selections for the class to consider. It will also be a chance for us to share our experience with the Stock Track virtual stock market tool. Some may have had an intuitive navigation through the tool(s). However, there is much excess information available in the stock track website…so don’t feel overwhelmed if it wasn’t an easy first time through.
What I would like for you to do is post an introductory thread that has your positions that you chose to include in your portfolio. I would also like your rationale for choosing the equities (or other investments) that you chose to include. This rationale could be as basic or informed as you can demonstrate. Remember, the idea of this class is that you have very limited exposure to the stock market. Therefore, you may have rationale that includes “I have always been interested in Google for reason XYZ….(unrelated to past or suspected future performance). Also, your knowledge may be far advanced from the rest of us based on academic/professional/personal experiences. Therefore, your rationale would theoretically be based on more informed decision making tools/methods. The later discussion forums will allow us to demonstrate our growth and reflection on what we originally had as rationale or even portfolio positions. Even those that are more informed will have the opportunity to reflect as to whether their informed decision played out as expected. Remember that even if we think a company is going to perform strongly…we never REALLY know how the market will react. It is still a gamble. However, just like in sports or any other risk endeavor, those who are more informed are in a better position to make it out on the winning side.
I would also like for you to identify if there are any items that you found on the website that were particularly helpful…or particularly frustrating. If a classmate demonstrates something that resonates with you, let them know…even if you already knew, let them know. If it helped you, also let them know. If someone presents an issue that they cannot find or understand or navigate something, help them out! This will allow for our group dynamic to resonate through the forums.
Remember, there are two components that make up your discussion grade. You are graded on participation and leadership. This guidance aspect and community sharing that I reference above is going to showcase your discussion leadership.
Post your current portfolio with rationale (feel free to respond to classmates that had similar positions or completely different positions)
Share best practices and/or frustrations
Build on your classmates best practices with feedback to them…or help them through their frustrations

Kevin and Sarah want to determine if their business is elastic or inelastic and by how much. They have done some research and determined demand at their current price and at a proposed new price. What is the coefficient of elasticity for their meal service based on these projections?
Current price = $200 per week Proposed new price = $250 per week
Current demand = 300 customers a week Demand at the new price = 240 customers a week
Q1 = Old Quantity – this is the current quantity Q2 = New Quantity – this is the quantity that results from the future or proposed price change
P1 = Old Price – this is usually the current price P2 = New Price – this is the price that will change in the future or the price that is being proposed
Rob is considering investing in a new method of cleaning carpets that will cost him more both in fixed and variable costs, but will allow him to charge more. He wants to know what his total sales will be for both his current method and the new method at his breakeven point. You will need to calculate his BEv for both methods first and then determine his total sales for BOTH to give him the information he needs. Be sure you round UP to the nearest whole carpet.
Remember the current has these factors:
Price to clean a carpet = $75 Materials (variable costs) = $15 Monthly fixed costs = $4000
The new method has these factors:
Fixed costs: $4750 Variable costs per carpet: 18.50 Price per carpet: $99
What are Rob’s sales for the current method AND the new method, in that order?
Kevin and Sarah are working on pricing for their gourmet dinner home delivery business. Even though they are targeting affluent families, they know that price is important to their potential customers. Kevin is a great cook but has little training in economics or accounting and knows nothing about elasticity. He looked up elasticity on Google and found the following. Which of them is not true?
Kevin and Sarah know exactly what their costs are to make and deliver the meals to each customer. They are considering using cost plus pricing since it is easy to determine profitability. What is wrong with them using this pricing strategy?
Ally has promised Kat that she will get the same $3 per dozen commission regardless of what price the cookies sell for. This makes Ally’s new costs look like this:
Ally is curious about what price she needs to charge to get a 60% Return on Investment (ROI) including her variable costs, initial investment and fixed costs. What price will she need to charge for a 60% ROI? For this calculation Ally is assuming sales of 900 dozen (900 units). Pay close attention to the investment and unit cost figures.
This was covered in Module 6 and the formula is:
FORMULA: ROI PRICE = UNIT COST + (ROI x INVESTMENT) / UNIT SALES
HINT: Make sure you include all of Ally’s expenses in the right category
Bill runs a landscape business and expects a busy holiday season as people spruce up their lawns for the season. He is thinking about adjusting his price, but needs to determine his gross margin if he does so. His poinsettia supplier has offered him a deal. Based on the information below what will his GM and total revenue (sales) be if he lowers his price.
Price now: $250 Holiday special: $200 Cost now $115 New cost $105
Volume if he keeps his current price 210 yards Volume with the holiday special 245 yards
Incredible Games (IG) is introducing Galactic Invasion, in which aliens from the Planet Meepzorp attack earth in hopes of capturing millions of college students to take back home to develop social media applications. IG wants to attract lots of new players very quickly and build a growing revenue stream as they become hooked on the game. What pricing strategy do you suggest they use to entrap millions of humans?
Hot Socks, the latest trend in footwear, has fixed costs of $250,000 and a unit variable cost of $6. The retail price of a pair of socks is $15. How many units do they need to sell to break even?
Rob is expecting a busy holiday season and is trying to decide if he should buy the new equipment. He is projecting that he will clean 7 carpets a day and work 38 days during the holiday. If he is correct about these projections what are his gross margins for the two methods? In your answer, list the current first and then the new GM (i.e. current/new).
Remember that gross margins compare price and gross profits and is calculated as:
FORMULA = SELLING PRICE – VC _____________________ SELLING PRICE
Current: Price to clean a carpet = $75 Materials (variable costs) = $15 Monthly fixed costs = $4000
New: Fixed costs: $4750 Variable costs per carpet: 18.50 Price per carpet: $99

To get off to a good start, they need to build a customer base very quickly and are willing to sacrifice some margin to do so. What pricing strategy should they use?
Predict VectorCal’s indirect costs based on the direct costs (e.g. direct labor, direct materials or both). Next, from the e-Activity provide two examples of companies with the same indirect costs that you predicted for VectorCal. Speculate on what the indirect costs of the existing companies bodes for the future of VectorCal.
Part 2
Suggest one way in which how VectorCal could estimate the future indirect costs for at least ten potential line items related to the production of its navigation systems. Determine two to three (2-3) line items that could affect the indirect costs the most. Justify your response.
