ASSIGNMENT 4 – PRODUCTION COST (Please see the
Grading Guide for the assignment)
Purpose of Assignment
The materials covered this week distinguish between the
different costing methods and provides needed tools for
decision making. This case study focuses on determining
equivalent units in a production business setting.
Assignment Steps
Scenario: Davis Skaros has recently been promoted to
production manager. He has just started to receive various
managerial reports, including the production cost report you
prepared. It showed his department had 2,000 equivalent units
in ending inventory. His department has had a history of not
keeping enough inventory on hand to meet demand. He has
come to you, very angry, and wants to know why you credited
him with only 2,000 units when he knows he had at least twice
that many on hand.
Prepare a maximum 700-word informal memo and explain to
Mr. Skaros why his production cost report showed only 2,000
equivalent units in ending inventory. Using a professional tone,
explain to him clearly why your report is accurate.

ASSIGNMENT -6 MANAGERIAL ANALYSIS (Please see the
Grading Guide to complete the assignment)
This comprehensive case requires students to evaluate a static
budget and prepare flexible budgets to meet managerial needs.
Students are required to calculate and analyze variances and
discuss how variances are critical to managerial decision
making.
Assignment Steps

Scenario: Green Pastures is a 400-acre farm on the outskirts of
the Kentucky bluegrass, specializing in the boarding of
broodmares and their foals. A recent economic downturn in the
thoroughbred industry has led to a decline in breeding
activities, and it has made the boarding business extremely
competitive. To meet the competition, Green Pastures planned
in 2017 to entertain clients, advertise more extensively, and
absorb expenses formerly paid by clients such as veterinary and
blacksmith fees.
The budget report for 2017 is presented as an attachment. As
shown, the static income statement budget for the year is based
on an expected 21,900 boarding days at $25 per mare. The
variable expenses per mare per day were budgeted: feed $5,
veterinary fees $3, blacksmith fees $0.25, and supplies
$0.55. All other budgeted expenses were either semifixed or
fixed.
During the year, management decided not to replace a worker
who quit in March, but it did issue a new advertising brochure
and did more entertaining of clients.
Develop a 700-to 1050-word examination of the financial
statements and include the following based on the static budget
report:
· What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income?
· Did management do a good, average, or poor job of
controlling expenses?
· Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?
· Prepare a flexible budget report for the year.
· Based on the flexible budget report:
· What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income?
· Did management do a good, average, or poor job of
controlling expenses?
· Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?
· What course of action do you recommend for the management
of Green Pastures?

Sample

See handout
Research Paper
Using the Powerpoint presentation for inspiration, research a
technology, idea or concept that you would like to see
implemented in the field of public health, food security, public
art, or climate change adaptation to address an issue or problem
you have identified. Your goal is to write a short paper in which
you try to convince your audience to adopt this new technology,
concept or idea. This paper is based on the concept of a policy
briefing, though we will be adapting the format to suit our
needs.
Audience: your audience should be a person or group of people
who have the capacity to implement the technology, idea or
concept you are proposing. For example, if you think that a
great climate change adaptation idea is to build porous
sidewalks and alleys as they have in Chicago and other cities,
then you would address your paper to city council. If you think
that Camosun College should have more public art, then you
would address your paper to Camosun College Administration.
So do a bit of research and discover whom to address your paper
to.
Tone and Terminology: Make sure that the tone you use in your
writing is appropriate. In most cases, your tone should be
professional and concise. Avoid jargon that your audience
would not know. (And please remember that I need to
understand what you are writing). Your goal is to communicate,
not to confuse.
Purpose: Your purpose is to persuade your reader to adopt the
technology, idea or concept that you are presenting. Make sure
to inform your reader what the current issue or problem is, as
well as how it will be addressed by adopting the technology,
idea or concept you propose. To do this, you will have to
research what the current dialogue or conversation on the topic
is. A strong persuasive paper will include well used evidence of

both the issues at hand and the efficacy of your solution.
Format:
Title: use the title to quickly communicate the contents of the
paper memorably
Abstract (or Executive Summary): in 3-4 sentences, summarize
the key points of your paper. This should include an overview
of the problem and the proposed solution in the form of the
technology, idea or concept you are writing about.
Context: Provide the reader with some context for why the new
technology is needed. Identify and briefly discuss the problem
or issue. Use examples to illustrate your point. This is the
“They Say” portion of your paper where you can point out
problems or issues others have identified. You can use graphs,
charts or images to make it easier for your reader to follow your
information.
Recommendation: In this section, outline what you are
proposing and why it is a good choice. How will it help to solve
the problem or issue you are discussing? Are there any possible
challenges with this choice? How can you overcome these
challenges? Has the technology, idea or concept been adopted
elsewhere? How is it being used there? How effective is it in
that context? Why will it be effective in the context you
propose?
Marking Criteria:
Content:
Clearly indicates what the problem is that the new technology
or idea will solve or address. In other words, the paper provides
context.

Provides a detailed overview of the technology or idea that is
being presented.
Indicates how that technology or idea will solve or address the
problem presented.
Indicates why the technology or idea presented is a good choice.
Technique:
Uses persuasive language without being overbearing.
Uses other tools of persuasion such as rhetorical appeals and
organization appropriately.
Shows an understanding of the audience’s needs (word choice,
depth of explanation, etc.).
Expression:
Uses clear, well constructed sentences.
Uses words appropriately to create the desired tone.
Uses language appropriate to the audience (keeping in mind that
I also have to understand).
Mechanics:
Uses grammar, punctuation and spelling correctly.
Is properly formatted according to given instructions.
Research Infographic Assignment
Purpose/ Audience: Your audience is the general public. Your
purpose is to provide an overview of the research (from your
Research Essay) in an easily understandable format. You will
present this infographic to the class to share your research
findings.
Task:
Create an engaging infographic based on your research paper
findings. This infographic should present complex information

in an easily accessible format.
Use concise language, careful formatting, and appropriate
images to communicate your complex research information in a
simplistic and easy to understand format.
The most important element of this assignment is that your
information is accurate, concise, and easy to follow. The
graphic design of your infographic is secondary but still very
important (after all, you have already received a mark for your
research papers and your infographic is meant to translate that
research into a more engaging and accessible format).
I will provide a few infographic examples for you to follow.

Burdened No Longer: How Continuous Glucose Monitoring is
Revolutionary in Diabetes Care
and Why British Columbia Should Fund It
Abstract
This paper discusses what Continuous Glucose Monitoring
(CGM) technology is, and
draws on recent scientific research to explain why it is more
effective for managing blood
glucose levels and preventing adverse health outcomes in
patients with type 1 diabetes than other
methods. It further examines how, despite the health benefits
associated with CGM use, the
technology has not yet seen widespread use in Canada due to
the high out-of-pocket costs for
patients. Thus, this paper asserts that the British Columbia
Ministry of Health should begin
providing public funding for CGM devices to ensure that all
type 1 diabetics are able to access
this revolutionary technology and manage their health more
effectively.

Diabetes Research Foundation, 2019)

Context
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, autoimmune condition
characterized by the body’s inability
to produce insulin. Without insulin, a person’s cells cannot
perform the metabolic processes
necessary for life, and so people living with diabetes follow
intensive treatment regimens of
injecting insulin and monitoring blood glucose in order to
maintain their health. Though the
management of this condition places a significant burden on the
patient, recent developments in
technology have begun to provide more effective and less
laborious methods of regulating blood
glucose. One of these technologies, Continuous Glucose
Monitoring (CGM) has demonstrated
promising benefits for alleviating the medical burdens of type 1
diabetes by reducing the
incidence of extreme hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia
(Diabetes Canada, 2018). CGM involves
the insertion of a disposable electrochemical sensor into the
skin, which continuously measures
the glucose levels in subcutaneous tissue, and then wirelessly

transmits this data to the user’s
insulin pump or smartphone (Vettoretti & Facchinetti, 2019).
However, for many people living
with type 1 diabetes in Canada, CGM is a potentially life-saving
technology that remains out of
reach due to high costs (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation,
2019).
The inaccessibility of CGM technology represents a significant
problem, since studies
show that regulation of blood glucose levels using the
conventional method of self-monitoring
blood glucose (SMBG), which requires collecting small blood
samples from the fingers six to
eight times daily, is demonstrably less effective (Diabetes
Canada, 2018). Indeed, as shown in
figure 3, CGM use is associated with lower hemoglobin A1c
(HbA1c) levels, which is the
standard metric used to assess a patient’s blood glucose
regulation over a three month period
(Senn, Fischli, Slahor, Schelbert, & Henzen, 2019). This is due
in part to the fact that the blood
glucose data attained through SMBG only offers information
from individual points in time,

whereas CGM allows the patient to make more effective
treatment decisions based on 24-hour
data on their blood glucose and its trends. Considering how
long-term elevated HbA1c levels can
lead to diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure,
neuropathy and amputation, the
importance of utilizing technologies such as CGM to avoid such
outcomes becomes evident.
Figure 3: The impact of CGM use on blood glucose control
through trends in HbA1c during a
6-month study (Giani, Snelgrove, Volkening, & Laffel, 2016).
Furthermore, CGM plays a crucial role in the safety of people
with type 1 diabetes, as it
provides alerts when blood glucose is too high or too low. This
technology can prevent
life-threatening emergencies due to high or low blood glucose
by informing the user when there
is a problem and giving them the opportunity to act before
serious health problems, such as
seizures, diabetic coma, or ketoacidosis, arise. According to
Diabetes Canada, CGM use is
especially effective for type 1 diabetics who experience
frequent episodes of hypoglycemia, and

is associated with a decrease in hospitalizations for those who
use it (2018).
Finally, a 2019 study seeking to understand the benefits and
limitations of CGM use
found that while CGM is generally seen as favourable by type 1
diabetics, one of the primary
reasons for discontinuing the treatment method was the high
associated cost (Sørgård, Iversen, &
Mårtensson, 2019). As there is no national funding for CGM in
Canada (Graham, 2017), type 1
diabetics without specific private health insurance must pay
out-of-pocket for the cost of the
sensors, which ranges from $3000 to $6000 annually (Diabetes
Canada, 2018). However, the
study by Sørgård, Iversen, and Mårtensson ascertained through
interviews that many of the
diabetics who discontinued their use of CGM would resume
using the technology if the cost
barrier were to be eliminated (2019). Thus, it can be concluded
that the key to implementing
more widespread use of CGM among type 1 diabetics, and
reaping the health benefits it

provides, could be achieved by removing the barrier of cost.
Recommendation
In light of the evidence for how CGM use improves health
outcomes, and in accordance
with the recommendations of Diabetes Canada (2018), it is
imperative that the British Columbia
Ministry of Health begins providing public funding for the use
of CGM by people with type 1
diabetes. All costs associated with CGM should be covered
under the province’s health insurance
in order to ensure that every type 1 diabetic in British Columbia
can access this potentially
life-saving technology.
Though some may argue that providing this coverage would
constitute an increase in
healthcare spending that the province cannot afford, there is
evidence to indicate that this policy
would instead be cost-effective. One study tracking the public
costs of pregnancy and delivery
for 1441 diabetic women found that the overall costs for the
women regulating their glucose
using CGM was lower than for those using SMBG (Murphy,
Feig, Sanchez, de Portu, & Sale,

2019). As illustrated in Figure 4, although the immediate costs
of CGM are higher than SMBG,
this cost is offset by the reduction in length and frequency of
neonatal intensive care unit
admissions. Though this data pertains specifically to pregnant
women using CGM, the same
principle may be extrapolated to infer that the cost of providing
public funding for CGM would
be offset by the consequently reduced medical complications
associated with poor blood glucose
regulation.
Figure 4: Healthcare costs of pregnant women with type 1
diabetes when using CGM compared
to SMBG (Murphy, Feig, Sanchez, de Portu, & Sale, 2019).
Another benefit of instituting public funding of CGM would be
the opportunity to use it
in conjunction with an insulin pump. CGM sensors now have
the ability to communicate with
some insulin pumps in such a way that allows the pump to
increase or decrease insulin dosage

based on blood glucose readings (Graham, 2017). While these
so-called “closed-loop systems”
or “artificial pancreases” are still an emerging technology,
many experts expect them to quickly
become the new standard of care as they are demonstrating even
more positive effects on blood
glucose regulation than CGM or insulin pumps alone (Graham,
2017). Thus, if British Columbia
Ministry of Health was to provide CGM funding, it would
simultaneously be paving the way for
even more advanced and effective diabetes management
technology.
In conclusion, in order to improve care for type 1 diabetics
across the province and
reduce healthcare costs associated with poor blood glucose
regulation, the British Columbia
Ministry of Health must make CGM accessible through the
provision of public funding.
According to an article in the BC Medical Journal, diabetes
places a significant burden on the
province’s healthcare system, accounting for over 70% of non-
traumatic limb amputations, and
prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes is expected to

continue increasing (Ur, 2018). In
order to ensure that taxpayer money is being spent effectively
and that our limited healthcare
resources are not being wasted on preventable hospitalization, it
is essential that the province
ensures all diabetics can access the care they need – not just
those wealthy enough to afford it.
As long as there remains no cure for type 1 diabetes, those
living with the condition rely on the
regulation of blood glucose for their health and survival, and
the investment in technologies like
CGM are what allow diabetics to live long, fulfilling lives.

Academic journal article
Summarize this source in one to two sentences
In their article “Young People’s More Permissive Views About
Marijuana: Local Impact of State Laws or National Trend?”
Laurie Schmidt, Laurie Jacobs, and Joanne Spetz (2016) analyze
data over a span of 10 years from the US National Survey on
Drug Use and Health (2004-2013) to determine if relaxed
medical marijuana laws within states encourage young people to
adopt a more positive stance towards marijuana. The authors
assert that, according to their analysis, while relaxed marijuana
laws within a state didn’t appear to directly result in youth
within that particular state acquiring more permissive attitudes
towards the drug, the authors did detect, over the time of the
study, a national trend of youth adopting a more positive
attitude towards the drug as some states relaxed their marijuana
laws.
Explain why this is an authoritative source in one to two
sentences
This article was published in a peer-reviewed academic journal.

Moreover, having been published just three years ago, it
provides current information on the topic.
Explain how this source will likely feature in your paper in one
to two sentences
This article provides recent evidence, in an American context,
that as states relax their marijuana laws, at the national level,
youth appear to be adopting a more positive stance towards
marijuana. This article provides support for my contention that
as Canada legalizes marijuana, Canadian youth may
increasingly view the drug as less harmful.
