Business finance accounting course learning assignment 1

 
For this assignment, develop a 4 to 6 page response containing written narrative, figures, and charts.
Milano Co. manufactures and sells three products: product 1, product 2, and product 3. Their unit selling prices are product 1, $40; product 2, $30; and product 3, $20. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are product 1, $30; product 2, $15; and product 3, $8. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 6:4:2. Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $270,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture products 1 and 2. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: product 1 by $10 and product 2 by $5. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $50,000.

If the company continues to use the old material, determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product. 
If the company uses the new material, determine its new break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product. (Round to the next whole unit.) 
What insight does this analysis offer management for long-term planning?

Defining 10 philosophy terms in your own words

In this assignment, you will identify vocabulary words that are of interest to you and define them in your own words. 
Note, that the words in parenthesis are to guide you to the right section in weeks 3 and 4 to find the terms. All of the terms are defined in the week 3 or week 4 material. 
Step 1:
Choose 10 terms from the provided list. 

Constructive Empiricism (Science)
Constructivism (Kant)
Empirical Adequacy (Science)
Empiricism
Functionalism
Idealism (Berkeley)
Instrumentalism (Science)
Materialism
Mind-body dualism
Nominalism
Philosophical skepticism
Rationalism
realism (scientific)
Synthetic A Priori
Universals (Plato)

Step 2
For each term, do the following:

Provide a brief definition in your own words. DO NOT copy and paste a definition from anywhere. When you search online, add the word philosophy to the term and spell it properly to be sure you are getting the right information. Idealism in philosophy is very different from Idealism.

Discussion #6: did america really practice isolation and neutrality

In 1914 Woodrow Wilson proclaimed U.S. neutrality, and asked the American people to remain impartial in thought as well as deed. At the end of the war, some members of the government pushed to expand American influence but to also remain free of any commitments, a policy its critics referred to as isolationism.
Answer the following question:
In your opinion, was U.S. policy in Asia and Latin America between from late nineteenth century to 1914 truly isolationist? Discuss and support your response.

TUP Cubic silicon carbide 3C -SiC Questions

Cubic silicon carbide 3C -SiC is one of the semiconductor materials that many researchers want to study because it shows many physical properties that herald the possibility of its use in important applications in industry such as its use in storage in computers and That’s after adding one of the transitional elements to it. One of the researchers chose to study the cubic crystal of silicon carbide 3C-SiC in the case of a single crystalline, to study the thermal, electrical and electrical properties. its magnetism. Before it started, it was necessary to think about how to grow this material and then study the composition and then touches on other physical properties, we will now follow the steps taken by this researcher: Through your solid state physics course: 1- What are the methods that can be used to grow a single crystal? 2- If 3C-SiC belongs to the structure of what is known as ZnS, how many atoms are in the unit cell? 3- What are the positions that the Si atoms can occupy and what are the positions of the C atoms. (Illustrate this by drawing). 4- What kind of bonds can be formed between the atoms in this crystal? 5- The following figure shows the X-ray spectrum for the study of a single crystal of 3C-SiC extracted from one of the studies that the researcher studied:6- What do the numbers shown in the drawing mean, for example (002) 3C -SiC or (111) 3C -SiC7- Looking at the above figure, is there a difference in crystal growth at different temperatures? Which one is better in your opinion, and why? 8- If we take as an example that the researcher is interested in studying (002) 3C -SiC in single crystal, as it is clear in the previous X-ray spectrum that ° 41. 3 = 20, if the wavelength of the X-rays used to study this sample is 4° 1 1.54 = 1, find the perpendicular distance between the planes and then calculate the lattice constant for this sample9- Manganese was introduced, Mn, to a single crystal of silicon carbide, in order to know the potential ofPrediction of magnetic properties10- What are the possibilities of locations where a manganese atom can be located? (3 clear possibilities)(Single crystal after growth – The monocrystal after the entry of Mn into – the monocrystal after the fermentation or heating process)-The previous figure shows a truncated part of the X-ray spectrum of silicon carbide towards 002 -11- What notes can you take from this format? Can you predict what happened to a silicon carbide monocrystal at the different conditions shown in the figure?12- Explain why fermentation or annealing is important. (research question)13- If the radius of Si = 0.11 nm and for C = 0.078 nm and for Mn= 0.08. Do you expect that the introduction of manganese into the silicon carbide crystal led to Elongation or compression of the crystal? How do you infer that?14- How many vibration patterns are in this crystal?15- Do you expect that this crystal can absorb the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation Fallen on her? Why?16- Find the heat capacity of silicon carbide at a temperature of 300 K according to a model Debye If you know that the Debye temperature of SiC-3C silicon carbide is 1200 K, Compare it with the scientific result if you know that ( Cv=0.69 J g-1 ?C­-1 )17- Find the thermal conductivity of SiC-3C and compare it with the results of previous studies if you know The experimental result for the thermal conductivity of SiC-3C at a temperature of 300 K is 6.3 W (cm-1 ?C-1)18- Can the Drude model be applied to study the electrical properties of carbide silicon? Why?19- Draw the energy bands of silicon carbide according to the energy band theory

CU Statistics Qualitative Questions Data Analysis Project

Complete this assignment on one Excel sheet. Access and review the Analyzing the Data Set Using Descriptive Statistics [XLSX].Include the following components in your analysis of the data:Analyze the data for questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 (binary questions). Your analysis must have the following elements: Sample Size.Sample Proportion of each response.Bar Chart or Pie Chart.Explore your data a bit further. What are two interesting findings from your survey responses? You might investigate responses for selected variables based on responses to your binomial questions. For example, if the answer to question 1 were Male or Female, and the answer to question 6 were Annual Income, you might examine average annual income for males only and females only and compare these results. Present your findings in an appropriate table, graph, or chart. Then, write in the same Excel spreadsheet a 1–2 paragraph summary of your findings.NotesTechnology: You may need to sort or rearrange your original data file to accomplish some of these tasks. Be sure you keep a copy of your original data file as a backup.Results: Because the survey data generation is done without context, you will have to put aside any preconceived notions about how your data should look. Your task is to analyze, interpret, and communicate the unique results.Binary Question: For the responses to Questions 1–4, you will need to assign the survey responses to 0s and 1s generated for questions 1–4 in columns A through D. The generator automatically generates 0s and 1s for the responses to your binary questions (1–4). The tool does not know your questions or possible responses for these questions. Assign 0 to one of your possible responses and assign 1 to the other possible response. For example, if you asked: “Are you male of female?” you could assign Male = 0 and Female = 1, or vice versa. It is up to you which response to assign 0 and which to assign 1.

Option 6 term paper 2 pages answer

 On the Term Paper This document consists of: 1. Suggested Topics for Papers 2. Notes on Writing papers 3. Bibliography Suggested Topics for Papers You may write on any of these topics without my permission. Try to use at least some secondary literature. If you have a different topic you wish to write on, please consult me. 1. Changing representations of Confucius. At the time of the writing of the Zhuangzi, Confucius was already an ancient and revered teacher. What role does Confucius play in later Warring States texts? 2. Zhuangzis legends about sages are unique in the Chinese tradition. What, for Zhuangzi, makes a person a sage? You may want to discuss the importance of skills, knack, and the mastery of crafts. Give examples to illustrate your discussion. 3. How is an explicit view of human nature fundamental to the ethical and political thought of Xunzi? What was the nature of his disagreements with Mencius on this basic question? (How) does Xunzis view of human nature affect his views on other issues? For example, why is ritual so important to Xunzi, and what does he mean by the term? 4. Warfare was a major concern in Warring States China. Discuss the place of a philosophy of martiality (or its absence) in at least three Warring States texts. You may want to consider the Analects, the early Mohists, the Sunzi, the Daodejing, the Zhuangzi, the Mencius and the Xunzi. Did these writers think that conflict was inevitable? How did mastery of warfare figure in Chinese portrayals of sagacity? 5. Compare the descriptions of dao ?or the Way in the Analects, the Daodejing, the Sunzi and the Zhuangzi. 6. Compare the values of early Confucian ethics (in the Analects, Mencius and/or Xunzi) with one or two Western philosophers’ arguments on the similar topics. 7. Contrast the role of tian or Heaven (the heavens, nature) in at least two texts you have read. 8. Many contemporary scholars have tried to apply virtue ethics to Chinese philosophy. Critically discuss two such attempts. Page 1 of 6 9. Discuss the topic of fatalism as it appears in at least two texts you have read this term. Notes on Papers Structure ? Structure your paper clearly. A good paper is not just a string of quotes. ? Avoid mere description of episodes. ? Relate these points, individually, to the original topic. ? Write an adequate introduction. An introduction should states what you will do, or show in the paper. Otherwise the paper may wander. ? Make outlines and stick to them! ? Be wary of flowing phrases whose exact and literal meaning is not quite clear. Reasoning ? Make your reasoning explicit! Make clear connections in your reasoning. ? Take the time to say (1) everything you mean and (2) nothing you dont mean, and (3) cite specific sources and passages to back up your assertions. ? Try not to mix description and evaluation in one sentence. It makes the logical flow of the arguments unclear. Citations ? Cite exact sources. ? Use a citation format that is conventional for the text you are citing (e.g. Mencius 2A3, Analects 2.8). ? Cite specific passages, rather than making general observations. Formal language ? Avoid language that is too colloquial for a formal paper. ? Try to develop a sense for the flavor of formal, written language. Often students have very good insights but sell them short by expressing them in a way that is better suited to conversation. It is a skill that comes over time. ? An argument in conversation sounds different than an argument in writing. Generalizations ? Avoid vague generalities. No generalization is worth a damn, including this one. ? You can avoid generalizations by using evidence to support statements. Page 2 of 6 ? Overgeneralization and overstatement weaken otherwise good arguments, by drawing you into claims that are impossible to prove. Grammar and spelling ? All papers should be written in correct, university-level English. Pay particular attention to: ? the correct use of apostrophes. ? tense and agreement of subject and verb. ? correct spelling. Spelling errors (especially on important names) make the author sound ignorant, or worse. ? Do proofread your papers for grammar and spelling. Dont trust spell checkers! Other issues of presentation ? Ensure that your paper has a title which should reflect its content. ? Number the pages of your paper! ? Use standard type faces and margins. ? Staple the pages of your paper. If you dont own a stapler, buy one. Procedural Suggestions ? Give yourself time enough to think through carefully what you want to say. ? Go through your notes and decide what passages bear on your argument. ? Use an outline to connect the points you want to make to the passages that back them up, or bear on them. ? If you have particular observations of your own, decide where they fit in, and add them to the outline. ? Write a draft. ? Think about how each paragraph relates to the next. ? Go back to the outline and revise. ? Write another draft. ? Give yourself more time. Page 3 of 6 Bibliography Note: Many of these articles (in boldface) are available on JSTOR.
