Companies are often organized into departments by functions, such as operations, marketing, sales, corporate headquarters, etc. Typically, each one of these departments is then assigned specific responsibilities and referred to as either a cost center, a profit center, or an investment center.

To prepare for this Discussion, “Shared Practice: Cost, Profit, and Investment Centers,” review the Portz & Lere article in the Learning Resources for this week.

• Explain which country’s accounting practices you would prefer to use for your organization and why. Be sure to provide your rationale by using specific examples.
• Provide an example of a profit center taken from your professional experience, the resources, or research. Explain why this is a profit center, including the methods of performance evaluation, and explain how it contributes to the success of the organization.
• Provide an example of an investment center taken from your professional experience, the resources, or research. Explain why this is an investment center, including the methods of performance evaluation, and explain how it contributes to the success of the organization.

Respond to the following questions:

• • Many factors affect the demand for a product, which is a concern for management and the decision-making process. To correctly assess the demand for their products, managers must determine the effect of all relevant variables. Select a particular industry or product and define the following variables:
    • Inferior versus normal goods
    • Substitution and income effects
    • Derived demand
    • Changes in real and projected incomes

Discuss how these variables can affect the demand for your product or industry and what methods could be used to estimate the effect of these variables.

• Consider this statement: Long-run cost curves are planning curves, while short-run cost curves are operating curves. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Support your answer with an appropriate rationale. In your response, use the various cost concepts you have learned, as well as the concepts of economies and diseconomies of scale, incremental costs, and sunk costs. Provide examples and applications of these costs in your response.

Justify your choices with valid assumptions and logically driven arguments. Cite any sources using APA format.

 

For this assignment, choose two of the “Historical Documents” authors we have read so far this term. Choose authors you have found interesting, engaging, or problematic in how they articulate the nature of cultural, racial, or gender differences in America.

 

In a well-documented and well-structured essay, compare your chosen texts in terms of how they argue for or against the negotiation of difference in America—in other words, how they argue for or against accommodating, rejecting, or compromising with the wide variety of differences (cultural, racial, ethnic, class, and so on) in America. Specifically, in your essay you should respond to the following questions:

 

• How do the authors define what it means to be American?
• Compare between each of the authors what it means to be civilized or savage, superior or inferior?
• Assess how the texts argue for the inclusion or exclusion of certain groups. How do they justify inclusion?
• Differentiate how the authors define or create a sense of different social roles for different groups. Examine how they are defined—by race, by ethnicity, by nation of origin, by gender, or something different. Why do the authors insist on maintaining these differences? How do the authors suggest these differences should be maintained and enforced?
• Analyze how different voices in the readings challenge or reject these differences. Justify why they reject them. What are the benefits of inclusion and diversity?
