Research elasticity information for two particular goods:

  1. Research elasticity information for two particular goods: one with an elastic demand and one with an inelastic demand. Using elasticity information you gather, predict changes in demand. The United States Department of Agriculture website has a good resource to help with this.
  2. Describe how marginal analysis, by avoiding sunk costs, leads to better pricing decisions.
  3. Explain the importance of opportunity costs to decision-making and how opportunity costs lead to trade.
  4. Evaluate how better business decisions can benefit not just the producer but the consumer and society as a whole. In your evaluation, contrast the deontology and consequentialism approaches to ethics.

Management Applications Of Accounting?

/in /by

Cookie Business

In this project, you will be opening your own specialty cookie company to see how product costing methods and changes in production affect business decisions. You will be creating a series of reports and analyzing the results using the template provided to guide you through the project.

The learning objectives of this project are as follows:

  1. Gain an understanding of product costing (direct materials, direct labor, and overhead).
  2. Review job order costing.
  3. Review process costing.
  4. Make business decisions based on analyzing accounting data.

You will prepare a four- to five-page written report (including spreadsheets) with at least two scholarly sources using the  Unit II Project Template . Your report will provide the following information:

 

Introduction

Part 1: Establish a cookie business selling only one type of specialty cookie with two employees making the cookies.

  • Create a name and establish a location for the business.
  • Construct a mission statement for the business.
  • Decide on the type of cookie you want to make and sell.

Part 2: Develop costing and sales information for 1,000 cookies.

  • Estimate and explain the cost per cookie based on job order costing (manufacturing overhead is 30% of direct labor costs). Prepare a job order cost sheet by researching and identifying the top five ingredients and their estimated costs as your direct materials. Research and identify the cost of wages for your two employees as your direct labor. It typically takes two days to make 1,000 cookies.
  • Estimate and explain the cost per cookie based on process costing with 40% conversion costs. Identify the top three processes you feel are needed to make the cookies and prepare a production cost sheet for one of those processes.
  • Estimate and explain the sales price you plan to set per cookie based on the cost data.

Part 3: Compare and contrast the costing methods used in this project, including which you believe provides the most useful information as a manager.

Part 4: Discuss what will happen to revenue if the number of the cookies sold increases or decreases.

 

Conclusion and Recommendations

Use the  Unit II Cookie Project Spreadsheet Templates for your job order, and process costing spreadsheets to be embedded in your case study document.

Be sure to use APA formatting throughout and reach out to the Writing Center or the Library for assistance with research, writing, and formatting. Include at least two resources from the CSU Online Library in your report.

Professional Blueprint

Overview: Submit a complete, polished community psychology (CP) professional blueprint that incorporates revised content from the project milestones along with additional content on Systems Thinking, your role in the system, and a topic of your choice. The blueprint should address all of the topics and questions outlined below, and it must be a structured paper that includes a number of specific elements that link your expanding knowledge of CP with your professional goals and interests.

Note: You should use the resources that you collect in your annotated bibliography to inform your project, and any additional resources relevant to the blueprint. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

1. Systems View

Write a two-page response to the following questions:

a. As a systems thinker, how do various agencies and their goals interact in the community? Pick two agencies and demonstrate how their goals, missions, and outcomes support the community.

b. Does your community have any interagency associations that coordinate planning and social change efforts? For example, does the community have a human service association such as United Way? (These efforts may deal with prevention, crisis response, building community resilience, and so on.)

2. Your Role in the System

Write a two-page response to the following questions:

a. In your current role, what system are you part of?

b. What specific ideas and issues drive that system? (Example: the benefits of elder day-care services or of youth diversion courts.)

c. As part of the system, how do these issues impact you?

Note: If you are not currently working in this field, answer based on your intended position in the future.

3. Topic of Interest

Write a two-page response to a question of your choice that highlights your professional and career interests—a particular idea, concept, or theory that you would like to study further.

Additional Instruction: The following resources on system thinking was used in the annotated bibliography milestone submitted. Incorporate the resources below and any additional resources related to the topic of your choice under system thinking in your professional blueprint.

Research objectives: Refer to the Introduction and Statement of Problems sections provided in the Unit II Assignment Template to make explicit statements as to the objectives of this study. For example, “One objective of this research study is to determine the direction (either positive or negative) and the strength of relationships between ABC Company’s various consumer promotions and sales revenue. This objective is intended to determine which promotions may be more effective and strategically important.” Research objectives should be discussed for each problem identified.

RQ1: What is the relationship between Promotion 1 and sales revenue?
Ho1 (null hypothesis): There is no statistically significant correlation between Promotion 1 (independent variable) and sales revenue (dependent variable).
Ha1 (alternative hypothesis): There is a statistically significant correlation between Promotion 1 and sales revenue.
RQ2: What is the relationship between Promotion 2 and sales revenue?
Ho2: There is no statistically significant correlation between Promotion 2 and sales revenue.
Ha2: There is a statistically significant correlation between Promotion 2 and sales revenue.
