1. Rafael’s Taco Hut has determined that its production facility has a design capacity of 525 tacos per day. The effective capacity, however, is 425 tacos per day. Lately Rafael has noticed that output has been 400 tacos per day. Compute both design and effective capacity utilization measures. What can you conclude?
2. Cathy’s Cake Bakery can comfortably produce 100 cakes in one day. If Cathy takes some unusual measures, such as hiring her two sisters to help in the kitchen and work overtime, she can produce up to 200 cakes in one day.
a. What are the design and effective capacities for Cathy’s Cake Bakery?
b. If Cathy is currently producing 105 cakes, compute the capacity utilization for both measures. What can you conclude?
3. Demand for more wildlife has grown at Wally’s Wildlife Reserve, and it is considering expanding. One option is to expand by purchasing property next to the reserve that will be able to meet expected future demand. Another option is to expand the current reserve by a small amount now and take a wait-and-see attitude, with the possibility of a larger expansion in two years
Management has estimated the following chances for demand:
· The likelihood of demand being high is 0.70
· The likelihood of demand being low is 0.20
Profits for each alternative have been estimated as follows:
· Large expansion has an estimated profitability of either $45,000 or $20,000, depending on whether demand turns out to be high or low.
· Small expansion has a profitability of $10,000, assuming that demand is low.
· Small expansion with an occurrence of high demand would require considering whether to expand further. If the company expands at that point, the profitability is expected to be $30,000. If it does not expand further, the profitability is expected to be $7,000.
a. Draw a decision tree diagram for Wally’s Wildlife Reserve.
b. Solve the decision tree you developed. What should Wally’s Wildlife Reserve do?

  The Interpersonal Communication Skills Assessment indicated some possible areas of relative weaknesses in your skills. Provide a motivation statement. Why do you want to improve this area of your interpersonal communication skills?

 
The Interpersonal Communication Skills Assessment indicated some possible areas of relative weaknesses in your skills. For this, select a specific aspect of interpersonal communication that you would like to work on improving. Typical improvement goals include:

Listening
Reducing communication anxiety/communicating with confidence
Using technology to communicate effectively
Message encoding
Message decoding
Channel selection

If you would like to work on another aspect of your interpersonal communication skills not mentioned above, please get your instructor’s approval before proceeding. Your final project for this class involves improving an aspect of your interpersonal communication skills. You will complete some work on this each week during the class. While five weeks is not enough time to develop high-level skills across the entire spectrum of interpersonal communication, it is enough to have a meaningful impact in an area of importance to you.
Brief skill area descriptions as well as reading lists are available for each of the six skill areas previously mentioned in the IPC Skill Area Resources
You will need to find at least three additional sources beyond those in the IPC Skill Area Resources. Sources may include articles, books, videos, interactive trainings, or other materials that have the potential to improve your selected skill area. Because these additional resources will contribute to your progress throughout the rest of the course, you should find them by Week 2. Note that you will not need to identify these resources until your Week 2 journal.
Live Learning sessions are available each week to support you with your IPC Skill Improvement Plan. You can also ask other class-related questions at Live Learning. All students in COM200 are required to attend one Live Learning session during the class but are encouraged to attend more. The day and time of Live Learning sessions will be given in a class announcement. You will confirm your attendance in an element of your Final Assignment.
Please include these

Identify your improvement goal. (one or two sentences) 
Provide a motivation statement. Why do you want to improve this area of your interpersonal communication skills? (one-half to one page) 
Review of literature: Identify gaps in the research and information packet about this skill area to extend your understanding and contribute to your skill improvement during the coming weeks. You can search for the resources you identify in this part during Week 2 and will be reporting on what you find in your Week 2 journal. (one-half to one page) 
List personal goals for Weeks 2, 3, and 4 of the class. There will be weekly journal entries (viewable only by you and your instructor) where you share your progress on these. You should also keep a written record of the work you do on your improvement plan, as this will be a required element of the Final Assignment. (at least one page) 
Describe how you will measure your progress toward your goal for your final Assignment. Try to be as specific as you can and identify progress you can actually measure or assess. (one half to one page)

Many people think of  marketing as only promotion. However, marketing is much more. A common way      of understanding the essentials of marketing is using the 4Ps  model—product, price, place, and promotion.

Analyze each of the 4Ps and explain how they create value for organizations. Remember, value creation       is any type of activity or outcome that will add to the long-term success  of the organization. It is more than simply economic value and includes       enhancements such as customer good will, employee satisfaction, supplier       networks, managerial skills and experience, and ethical or community       factors. Creating value can include intangible as well as tangible       assets, such as intellectual property and a business plan.
Justify which of the four  functions (4Ps) seems to provide the most value to organization.

Marketing has evolved into a  major business function that crosses all areas of an organization. For example, marketing may advise production about how much of the company’s product to make and then may tell logistics when to ship it. Accordingly, marketing influences business practices and it may also have wider  influence on society.

Assess the importance of marketing to society.
Evaluate how marketing has  changed society.
Analyze how marketing has  impacted today’s lifestyle.

A SWOTT analysis helps      evaluate current performance and future potential, especially in relation to competitors. Organizations use SWOTT to assess strengths and weaknesses  within the organization, threats and opportunities from outside the      organization, and trends that might have long-term consequences for the   organization and the industry as a whole.

Perform a brief SWOTT       analysis on a company of your choice as seen through the eyes of a       marketing manager.
Justify some   recommendations for overcoming factors that might impede progress of the       organization and for taking advantage of factors that could benefit the  organization.

Market growth is  accomplished by one or more of the following strategies: Market Penetration (increasing market share), Market Development (new markets),  Product Development (new products or services), and Diversification (promoting new or expanding existing products to reach a new market).  Remember, the diversification strategy stands apart from the other three  strategies. The first three strategies are pursued with the same      technical, financial, and merchandising resources used for the original  product line, whereas diversification usually requires a company to      acquire new skills, new techniques, and new facilities.

Assess each of these  strategies and provide an example for each category.
Out of the four strategies,  choose a strategy that best suits growth in a company of your choice and       justify how you would use this strategy.
