ECO 201 Milestone Three

ECO 201 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric The purpose of this milestone is for students to explore the various costs their firm faces and to describe their firm’s market. Using the concepts and tools developed in Modules Four and Five, students will analyze the fixed and variable costs of their firm, how those costs have changed over time, and how those changes have impacted their firm’s overall health and sustainability. In analyzing their firm’s market, students will detail the extent of their firm’s market power and their firm’s ability to influence the market. Students will also describe major trends in the market, specifically concerning new products, technologies, and new entrants. Students can further determine the future health of their firm to inform their final recommendations by examining their firm’s place within the market. Prompt: Submit a draft of the Costs of Production (Section IV), Overall Market (Section V), and Recommendation (Section VI) of your research paper, including all critical elements listed below. You will review your firm’s financial reports and other relevant data sources to collect and analyze cost information for your firm over the past five or so years. Using real data and the economic tools developed in Module Four, you will analyze your firm’s profitability and how costs impact its growth. Additionally, you will find data on your firm’s competitors in order to detail your firm’s place within the market currently and over the past five or so years. Lastly, you will develop a recommendation for how the firm can manage its future production. Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: IV. Examine the costs of production for your firm. a) Analyze the various costs a firm faces, their trends over time, and how they have impacted your firm’s profitability. b) Apply the concepts of variable and fixed costs to your firm for informing its output decisions. For instance, analyze how different kinds of costs (labor, research and development, raw materials) affect the firm’s level of output. V. Explore the overall market for your firm. a) Discuss the market share of the firm and its top competitors by providing details on current percentages for each firm and describing the trend over time. You might consider presenting the data graphically. b) Analyze the barriers to entry in this market to illustrate the potential for new competition and its impact on your firm’s future in the market. c) Describe the market structure for this firm and analyze how this affects the firm’s ability to influence the market. VI. Recommendation a) Develop a recommendation for how the firm can manage its future production by synthesizing the data presented. b) Suggest how the firm’s position within the market and among its competitors will allow it to take your recommended action. c) Describe how the firm can sustain its success going forward by evaluating the findings from demand trends and price elasticity. Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a three- to six-page Microsoft Word document (each section should be one to two pages) with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and sources cited in APA format.

ECONOMIC

A central theme of our course is decision making.  My main goal is for you to see the concepts, models and theories of economics in the real world, so that you can use them to make better decisions in business and life. One of the tools we use throughout the course is marginal analysis: understanding how to find the “optimal” or “efficient” quantity of something by comparing costs and benefits at the margin.

Assignment:  Write an essay explaining what “marginal” means and explain why marginal analysis leads to optimal or efficient quantities. Use applications we learned in our course (consumption decisions and production decisions) to support the answer. Adding examples from life outside of the classroom is strongly encouraged.

In short, put together a comprehensive view of a topic that was covered throughout the course. I’m not looking for a laundry list of topics. Rather, you should write a cohesive, accurate and easy-to-understand essay that someone new to economics could use to understand the idea of “marginal” and how marginal analysis works to help us make better decisions.

Nursing

1-Since prevention of post-operative infection on the operating room unit was my topic for my Capstone, it would be appropriate to present my findings to the Med-Surg nursing journal. Since a medical surgical unit was used for research, helping other surgical units prevent post-operative infection would be beneficial for patient safety. This is an environment where it is important to take every opportunity to interrupt the chain of infection.

A health care conference that would benefit from the research conducted by me through the Capstone project would be a medical-surgical nursing conference, a patient safety conference, or a nurse education conference. These would relate to the unit, relate to the specific topic and prevention, and lastly it would educate nurses on the importance of having the patient free from getting infections after any surgical procedure.

2-The journal that I have chosen is a Journal of Gynecology and Neonatal Nursing. This Journal is a great opportunity for nurses to present their research in regards to nursing care in relation to women and their babies. This journal is a result of the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses that work on the standardization of care for women and neonates. 

When it comes to conferences it is a little bit harder to choose the right one. Searching for the conference I have searched for the conferences this year and an I found one that is focusing on the Future of Health which involves technology. Technology is the new way to do education not only in schools but also in healthcare because it can reach more people at the same time. My project involves technology and improvement of training.

3-Hello professor and classmates, 

this has been a great experience and seeing myself to succeed at my age I have realized I can do a lot more from now on. The work can be more than just a paycheck and a day at work. The school gave me the confidence and motivation to do more and learn as well. After all, continuous education is a part of the nurse’s life.
