How could this experiment help someone to understand criminal behavior?
In 1971, Philip Zimbardos The Stanford Prison Experiment demonstrated the power of the situation and the interaction between social interaction and social structure. After viewing the documentary, if you had been a guard, do you think you would have been more likely to go along with the other guards or would you have resisted or spoken up about treating the prisoners the way you would have wanted to be treated if the roles had been reversed? How could this experiment help someone to understand criminal behavior?Responses should be no less than 500 words in length and must reference specific parts of the documentaries as support for your analysis
Prepare a 5-6 page report (excluding the cover page, the reference page, and any tables and graphs), which describes the uses of business inventory control.
The textbook is Quantitative Analysis and is in attachments.Prepare a 5-6 page report (excluding the cover page, the reference page, and any tables and graphs), which describes the uses of business inventory control. You need to include at least one real world example and apply at least one inventory control method discussed in Chapter 6. Please follow the flow chart (Figure 6.1) on page 196 of the textbook to present your final findings. You may use hypothetical numbers to illustrate your analysis if you cannot find the actual data. However, you have to use some number to demonstrate your ability to apply your chosen inventory control model to a real world situation. APA format and appropriate use of section headings are required. (LO 1, 4, 5) Please copy and paste in or attach your Excel Worksheet, which is a must to receive credits for statistical analysis. You do need to analyze your own data and cannot simply cite the statistical result published else where. Please check the basic APA format checklist posted in the Announcement and the grading rubric for writing assignments in the syllabus before you submit this assignment. You may also find the discussion at Discussion Post 5a quite helpful, too.Attached also is a word document containing Walk through steps to apply ABC analysis.

Identify a recent merger/acquisition and use it to and answer the question: was the merger/acquisition predominately about gaining economies of scale or economies scope?
Pg 1- One source of growth is external growth from a merger and/or acquisition. Often merger/acquisition are justified on the basis of the expected benefits from the merger/acquisition are synergies. Economists know these as economies of scale and economies of scope.Identify a recent merger/acquisition and use it to and answer the question: was the merger/acquisition predominately about gaining economies of scale or economies scope?Pg 2- he Price Elasticity of Demand and TariffsIn this weeks discussion your are going to be the CEO of a company. You will have to explain to your Board of Director how proposed tariffs will likely effect your profits. First, select one company.Fresh Foods on the Move Fresh Foods on the Move imports fruits and vegetables from Mexico for sale to large manufacturers who process those products which are largely sold in grocery stores in the US. The price elasticity of demand for food in a wealthy nation like the US is approximately 0.15.We Build Big We Build Big is one of the largest developers of residential structure in the US. We Build Big, builds every thing from apartment complexes to new single family homes. Critical materials such as lumber, gypsum board, fabricate metal etc are largely imported both Canada and Mexico. The price elasticity of demand for housing is 1.0.Any US Auto Maker Any US Auto Maker motor company is one of the oldest and one of the largest auto manufacturers in the US. The Any US Auto Maker supply chain crosses both the Canadian and the Mexican boarder and parts of every car assembled in the US may cross the boarder and pay a tariff multiple times. The price elasticity for automobiles is 1.2.Now explain:Is the demand curve relatively elastic, inelastic or unitary elastic. For every 10% increase in the price of the good you sell, how much does the quantity demanded decrease?Given the degree of elasticity your company faces would you recommend to the Board that you pass on to the consumer: none of the cost increases from the tariff; some of th cost increase from the tariff; all of cost increases from the tariff?Why is this strategy profit maximizing under the circumstances?
