Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA.

Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.

Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislator’s perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape.

 Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. Then, explain how analyses of the voters views may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid). Remember, the number one job of a legislator is to be re-elected. Please check your discussion grading rubric to ensure your responses meet the criteria. 

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on efforts to repeal/replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
  • Consider who benefits the most when policy is developed and in the context of policy implementation.
Reflect on the connection between academic and professional integrity.

What is the relationship between the Sociology of Gender and feminism?

The reading for this week looks at how the study of gender connects to real change. You have read about the field of Gender Studies, of which the Sociology of Gender is a part, and about social movements and activism in the service of gender equality.

As a response to this post, and making direct references to the learning resources for this week, give your own assessment of the value of studying gender, particularly from a sociological standpoint. How can the Sociology of Gender affect our world outside this classroom? Some ideas (you do not have to comment on all of these; they are just prompts for thinking):

  • What are some under- (or un-) investigated issues that the Sociology of Gender could address?
  • Why is gender an important topic for sociological research?
  • How does research in the Sociology of Gender contribute to social movements working toward gender equality?
  • What is the relationship between the Sociology of Gender and feminism?
  • What is something you learned this session that you’ll take with you outside of this class?
  • What have you learned that you wish other people knew?
  • Is there any learning resource from this class that you will share with others? Why?
  • Would you recommend that other people in your major (or in other majors) take a course on gender, or this course in particular?
  • What do you believe is the value of the Sociology of Gender as a field, and as part of a university curriculum?

describe how the quantitative analysis approach can be applied to this situation
Instructions

Imagine you are a business analytics employee at BAT Car Company. The president and CEO of BAT have tasked you with providing them with a data plan addressing expansion of BAT’s production business into Frankfurt, Germany, on a $40 million Model Z plant. 

This $40 million, which encompasses all fixed costs, the BAT CEO plans to apportion equally (25%) each) among the four types of vehicles the Model Z plant will manufacture.All economic and environmental impact studies have been approved. The size of the plant is predicted to be 420 soccer fields in size (a soccer field is 100 yards wide by 130 yards long). The car sales are expected to be: $30,000 per sedan; $50,000 per sports model; $20,000 per small cargo van; and $40,000 per passenger minivan. It will create 10,000 jobs for Frankfurt and the surrounding areas.There have been some issues with protestors regarding the building of an automotive plant that destroys forestland valued at $350 million.

 There has been some rumbling regarding a group called “Save The Forest” that could implement a cease all actions lawsuit against BAT. Research has shown that previous lawsuits and environmental impact has led to years of litigation and legal fees. 

The variable costs for the first year’s operation look to be $20,000 per sedan; $40,000 per sports model; $10,000 per small cargo van; and $25,000 per passenger minivan. Sales are expected to be: 40,000 sedans; 5,000 sports cars; 2,000 cargo vans; and 12,000 minivans.Prepare a brief report for the president and CEO of BAT Car Company. Your report should include the following elements:

  • an introduction section that describes how the quantitative analysis approach can be applied to this situation;
  • BAT’s profit formula results;
  • BAT’s break-even point for each vehicle type; and
  • your final recommendation on actions to take. (This section should convey to the CEO if the expansion of the production plant is profitable to BAT over the long haul, as well as how to deal with any possible litigation.)

Your final report must be at least three pages in length, and you must show all of your computations
