Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition: Maximizing Profit in a Perfectly Competitive Market “Designing the Perfect Space: Creating a Center for Specifications”
rior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 9, 10 and 11 from your textbook, Principles of microeconomics and How to Calculate Total Cost, Marginal Cost, Average Variable Cost, and ATCLinks to an external site..
A firm operating in perfect competition has no influence over market price. It can sell any amount at the market-clearing price. The only one major decision to make then is about what quantity should be produced. When it decides the quantity to produce, then this quantity—along with the prices prevailing in the market for output and inputs—will determine the firm’s total revenue, total costs, and ultimately, level of profits.
For the Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition Assignment, you will submit an MS Excel spreadsheet and a paper (word document) in Waypoint.
In the Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition Template Download Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition Template(MS Excel), fill in the missing values in the given table.
Make sure to use the “formula” feature. (The numbers in the table change. So, if you don’t use the “formula”, your answers will be incorrect because of the changing numbers.) Please refer Excel Formulas and Functions TutorialLinks to an external site. for guidance.

“Analyzing the Use of Sources in ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ Research Paper”
Professor’s comments: I recommend reviewing the requirements I posted for the essay. Make sure your outside sources are in your body paragraphs, not in your introduction or conclusion paragraphs. Also, more importantly, make sure your body paragraphs contain much more of your OWN analysis and development and not so much from the story and outside sources. Be careful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hort Story Research Paper CHECKLIST (This checklist should be viewed AFTER you completed your essay before turning the final draft in. These are some things to look for):
_____ Are the story and author named in the introduction? If the essay is about two stories, then both stories and authors should be mentioned in the beginning of the essay. Are the titles in quotation marks? Are the authors’ names spelled correctly?
_____ Is there too much plot summary? The majority of the essay should be an analysis of the story.
_____ Is there a thesis statement in the introduction? Does the thesis relate to the overall option you chose from the requirements?
_____Does the essay flow in a logical manner? One point should be developed at a time. Are you using transition words, and do you have clear topic sentences at the beginning of your paragraphs?
_____ Is evidence from the story used to support the thesis? Do all of your body paragraphs support the thesis?
_____ Are examples from the stories discussed in present tense?
_____ Are paraphrases and quotes properly introduced and cited? Are quotations punctuated properly?
_____ Is the essay developed enough? Do any of your supporting points need more evidence or more explanation?
_____Does the essay end with a conclusion that goes beyond just summarizing your main points?
_____ Is there a Works Cited Page? Does the essay have the FOUR required sources (The story being analyzed, 2 Scholarly Journal articles, and 1 website)? Does the essay follow MLA format?
_____Does the paper follow required word count of 1,500 – 1,800 words?
_____Did you carefully edit and proofread your paper for grammar and mechanical errors?

1,500 words

“Applying Management Concepts to Current Events: A Case Study of Tesla’s EV Charging Layoffs”
The purpose of the final paper is to help students relate the course content to current events in management. The paper will be based on a current article (less than a year old). First, each student will find a current article about a company that relates to one or more of the management topics we cover in this class (https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/01/business/tesla-ev-charging-layoffs/index.html). You will then find a current article about a management topic and develop a problem/opportunity thesis statement (please see http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/thesis-statements/ Links to an external site. for an excellent resource to help you do this). You will select one of these articles to expand fully into a written paper, consisting of an (1) article, (2) thesis statement, (3) paper, and (4) reference section. You may submit a draft of your paper up to a week before the due date for my review and comments. The due date of the paper is 11:59 p.m., on May 9. You will need to do additional research on the company, industry, and topic described in the article-at least 5 sources are required, one of which must be the textbook required for this course (the article itself must be included in the reference section, but does not count toward your 5 sources). In general, the paper should describe the management topic using terminology and concepts from our textbook(Management: A Practical Introduction, 10th Edition ISBN10: 1260735168). The paper should also describe how an organization can benefit through a thorough understanding of the management topic. The paper will also list examples of actual management situations related to the topic.
