How to apply capital budgeting?

/in /by

Is it realistic to assume that the economic concept of operating at the point where marginal revenue and marginal cost are equal can be applied to real-world strategic planning while at the same time marrying this concept to the capital budgeting process? If so, how can that be done? If the concept is applied, how confident should we be that the firm will achieve the point where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal?

Your initial response should be two or three paragraphs in length. After you have posted your initial response, read all of your classmates’ responses and comment on at least two other postings.

Write your response as a one-page memo.

Select one advanced feature of Microsoft Word

/in /by

Now that you have been introduced to some advanced features in Microsoft Word, you will teach the class an advanced skill in it. In this discussion, select at least one advanced feature of Microsoft Word and, using your own words (no copying and pasting) and examples, teach your classmates this skill. Check the discussions to choose something no one else has shared yet!

  1. Summarize what this is used to accomplish and explain the steps to accomplish it. Share where you found this in the online reading or in one of the tutorials so others can review it and be specific about where you learned this. Attach a Word document demonstrating the example you explained. Name the document you share W2DQ_YourLastName. Format your document document in APA format using the skills you are learning. Remember that in Lecture 3 on Creating an APA Title Page, we provided a sample Word document in APA format that you can customize, including the references section.
  2. Share any challenges you had while demonstrating these techniques and/or any tips for others. Were there any tools/functions in Microsoft Word that you weren’t able to figure out or want to know more about? Share them and perhaps someone else can help.

Internet-Based Contracting Issues PowerPoint

/in /by

Read the following scenario.

Great Buys is an internet-based company headquartered in New York that sells household electronics to consumers in the United States. The management team at Great Buys has some concerns about its online contracting process.

  • Great Buys isn’t sure it has a binding contract with its customers because the contract is completely online and in electronic format.
  • Customers have argued they are not bound to the online contract because there’s no handwritten “pen and ink” signature.
  • Great Buys also wants to know if any international laws will apply when the company starts selling its electronic products internationally.
  • Great Buys has been sued in different state courts all over the country, and it would like to know if an arbitration clause requiring that arbitration be conducted in New York City will be enforceable.
  • Finally, Great Buys wants one or two suggestions for improving its internal business procedures so that customer product complaints don’t turn into contract-related claims or lawsuits.

Great Buys’ management team asks you, the company’s contract manager, to work with your team and address their concerns.

Create a 7- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that provides answers to all of Great Buys’ concerns above. You can incorporate graphics, animation, or interactive Microsoft® PowerPoint® features, such as Designer and Morph (some features require a valid Microsoft® Office 365® subscription).
