Title: “Cost Accounting and Managerial Decision Making in Construction Projects: A Case Study of O’Donovan Constructions” “Analyzing Potential Real Estate Projects: A Calculated Approach to Maximizing Profitability”
Question 1 (30 Marks)
Cost accounting is an accounting process that measures all of the costs associated with production, including both fixed and variable costs. The purpose of cost accounting is to assist management in decision-making processes that optimize operations based on efficient cost management.
Required:
Identify and clearly explain 5 different types of costs that are used in managerial decision making. In addition, provide a clear and relevant example for each of these costs for Aston Martin car manufacturing company.
Question 2: (30 Marks)
A. Company Alpha is using a two-year-old machine costing $24,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation, while the machine has a useful life of 10 years.
Company A is considering buying another machine costing $45,000 with a useful life of 9 years. The new machine won’t have any effect on the number of units that a company produces. Company A, however, expects the variable cost to come down from $34,000 to $22,000. Fixed costs will also be the same at $20,000. Using the above information, determine which are relevant and which are irrelevant and the cost implication for the company. Provide a justification for your choice. (15 Marks)
B. The company also has a new project which requires the following three types of labor.
Hours Required
Additional Information
Unskilled
12,000
Paid at $8 per hour and existing staff are fully utilized. The company will hire new staff to meet this additional demand.
Semi-Skilled
2,000
Paid at $12 per hour. These employees are difficult to recruit, and the company retains a number of permanently employed staff, even if there is no work to do. There is currently 800 hours of idle time available, and any additional hours would be fulfilled by temporary staff that would be paid at $14/hour.
Skilled
8,000
Paid at $15 per hour. There is a severe shortage of employees with these skills and the only way that this labor can be provided for the new project would be for the company to move employees away from making Product X. A unit of Product X takes 4 hours to make and makes a contribution of $24/unit.
Required: What is the relevant cost of the labor hours required for the new project? Students should analyze each type of labor involved and calculate the total relevant cost. (15 Marks)

“Understanding the Logic of Quadratic Equations and Their Maximum/Minimum Values” The Logic of Quadratic Equations and Their Maximum/Minimum Values A quadratic equation is an equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0
A quadratic equation is provided, along with the coordinates of its vertex. In your own words, describe the logic that allows one to conclude that: 1) there must be a maximum or minimum value, and 2) the location for that maximum or minimum value must be at the vertex. Also, describe how you would be able to tell, from just the equation and the coordinates of the vertex, whether the quadratic had a maximum value or a minimum value. In formulating your response, consider both a geometric viewpoint (“From the perspective of the graph, what’s going on?”) and an algebraic one (“What do the numbers say, and why?”).

“The Importance of Home Environment Affordances in Promoting Motor Development and Sensory Processing Skills in Premature Infants: A White Paper for Parents and Caregivers”
our groups main topic is birth- 1 year/prenatal… attached was my presentation with the references that should be used in the paper as well but this is my main article …….
Zorlular, R., Akkaya, K. U., & Elbasan, B. (2024). The relationship between home environment affordances and motor development and sensory processing skills in premature infants. Infant behavior & development, 75, 101944. Advance online publication. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.infbeh.2024.101944 Major Project White Paper
For your final assignment, you will write a white paper. A white paper is an official report about a complicated issue, but presents the issue in a way that the reader will understand. For example, you could write a white paper that is geared towards parents on baby sleeping positions (e.g., “back is best”), or a paper that is geared towards parents of teenagers to reduce the likelihood of teenage pregnancy, or how grandparents can help their children with their grandchildren. The topics are endless, but the project will include peer-reviewed empirical journal articles as references and the paper must be written for a general audience. In other words, this is not a paper that would be submitted to a journal. This paper will be submitted a week after the oral presentation so that you can focus on revising your paper after the completion of your presentation. I have provided many resources in the “writing toolbox” in Canvas to help you. This is an individual paper. You can use your group as support on finding sources etc., but each student must write their own paper.
Papers should be 9-12 pages, including the title page, at least 7 full pages of body, and references (no abstract is needed). Please review your TurnItIn score after submitting your paper. Papers with a high TurnItIn score with problematic paraphrasing may be sent to the Academic Misconduct Committee. You are welcome to submit your paper early, review your TurnItIn feedback, and resubmit your paper before the deadline. Please review the module titled, “Technology Support: Panopto, Perusall, & TurnItIn” for more information. Your paper must include a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed sources. If you choose to include other references that are not peer-reviewed e.g., interviews), you should count those as extra, but you should minimize your use of anything not peer-reviewed. The heart of the paper needs to be 10 scientific, peer-reviewed sources. Psychology Today is not acceptable. I strongly encourage you to work with our super-skilled librarians in helping you track down the most appropriate references. You are likely to read many references that will not end up in your paper. Typically students have to read three times as many references (30) to find the ten that best support the argument they are making. (You’ll find it much harder to write the paper if you merely go after ten sources and try to construct an argument from that minimum number; the more you read, the easier the argument will be to develop).
Consider headings that will help you organize your argument properly. In a 7 page paper, probably you would have no more than four headings, but when in doubt, ask.
Science writing is a skill that can be mastered. It is characterized by precision, objectivity, and accuracy. Use the fewest words possible to communicate your meaning. Don’t use exclamation marks or emotive words. Be sure your descriptions of psychology concepts are accurate. Use quotes sparingly and reserve them for beautiful writing that would be hard to paraphrase. -
