ECO 520 Final Project: Investment Opportunity Analysis Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
This investment opportunity analysis project is designed to guide you through the process of applying key components of advanced microeconomics theories to typical
business decisions. You will assume the role of an entrepreneur, and you will conduct an analysis focusing on an investment opportunity of your choice. In your analysis you
will carefully evaluate key factors influencing the demand for the product, cost and supply issues, the role of market structure, and competitive analysis on firm strategy.
You will also analyze the effects of government regulations and market intervention on potential profitability, and you will use price and non-price strategies to support
product introduction. Using the above analyses, the last step in your final project requires you to model the potential financial viability of the proposed new product using
approximate figures. You will determine whether or not to recommend investing in the development and commercialization of the investment opportunity to your business
partners.
This assignment will assess your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Analyze product demand, company revenues, and the effects of external market influences through the use of microeconomic principles
• Analyze organizational costs and identify technical and economically efficient methods of production and acquisition of resources through the use of microeconomic
principles and tools
• Evaluate the effect of market structure and consumer behavior on firm strategies and profitability
• Recommend pricing strategies based on marketing conditions, which improve firm profitability and can be effectively implemented
• Evaluate government regulations and interventions for their effects on business and market performance
Prompt
Develop an analytical document informed by key advanced microeconomic theories and principles. The purpose of your analysis is to assist with the decision to implement

ECO 520 Final Project: Investment Opportunity Analysis Guidelines and Grading Guide
Overview
This investment opportunity analysis project is designed to guide you through the process of applying key components of advanced microeconomics theories to typical
business decisions. You will assume the role of an entrepreneur, and you will conduct an analysis focusing on an investment opportunity of your choice. In your analysis you
will carefully evaluate key factors influencing the demand for the product, cost and supply issues, the role of market structure, and competitive analysis on firm strategy.
You will also analyze the effects of government regulations and market intervention on potential profitability, and you will use price and non-price strategies to support
product introduction. Using the above analyses, the last step in your final project requires you to model the potential financial viability of the proposed new product using
approximate figures. You will determine whether or not to recommend investing in the development and commercialization of the investment opportunity to your business
partners.
This assignment will assess your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Analyze product demand, company revenues, and the effects of external market influences through the use of microeconomic principles
• Analyze organizational costs and identify technical and economically efficient methods of production and acquisition of resources through the use of microeconomic
principles and tools
• Evaluate the effect of market structure and consumer behavior on firm strategies and profitability
• Recommend pricing strategies based on marketing conditions, which improve firm profitability and can be effectively implemented
• Evaluate government regulations and interventions for their effects on business and market performance
Prompt
Develop an analytical document informed by key advanced microeconomic theories and principles. The purpose of your analysis is to assist with the decision to implement
a product or service for a start-up company (submit your product or service for approval to the instructor).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in your analysis:
1. Opportunity Background and Demand: In this section you will identify an appropriate investment opportunity specific to introducing a new product or service. You

1.Being sure that one has the resources necessary to accomplish the goals is an essential step. Preparation is very important. Without all of the necessary resources one cannot succeed. I know people that are very organized with their life and the time that they have every day. The values and mission are clear and their goals and objectives align with their life course. Each hour of the day is focused on using their short-term goals to reach their long-term goal that is consistent with their mission and values. The key here is that they took the time to do the work to explore what it is they really wanted in life and what was important in all of their roles to arrive at this plan. How many of us have a well-crafted life plan?

1.1Arguments, Premises, and Conclusions
How Logical Are You?
· After a momentary absence, you return to your table in the library only to find your smartphone is missing. It was there just minutes earlier. You suspect the student sitting next to you took it. After all, she has a guilty look. Also, there is a bulge in her backpack about the size of your phone, and one of the pouches has a loose strap. Then you hear a “ring” come from the backpack—and it’s the same ringtone that you use on your phone. Which of these pieces of evidence best supports your suspicion?
Answer
The best evidence is undoubtedly the “ring” you hear coming from her backpack, which is the same ringtone as the one on your phone. The weakest evidence is probably the “guilty look.” After all, what, exactly, is a guilty look? The bulge in the backpack and the loose strap are of medium value. The loose strap supports the hypothesis that something was quickly inserted into the backpack. In this section of the chapter you will learn that evidentiary statements form the premises of arguments.
Logic may be defined as the organized body of knowledge, or science, that evaluates arguments. All of us encounter arguments in our day-to-day experience. We read them in books and newspapers, hear them on television, and formulate them when communicating with friends and associates. The aim of logic is to develop a system of methods and principles that we may use as criteria for evaluating the arguments of others and as guides in constructing arguments of our own. Among the benefits to be expected from the study of logic is an increase in confidence that we are making sense when we criticize the arguments of others and when we advance arguments of our own.
An argument, in its simplest form, is a group of statements, one or more of which (the premises) are claimed to provide support for, or reasons to believe, one of the others (the conclusion). Every argument may be placed in either of two basic groups: those in which the premises really do support the conclusion and those in which they do not, even though they are claimed to. The former are said to be good arguments (at least to that extent), the latter bad arguments. The purpose of logic, as the science that evaluates arguments, is thus to develop methods and techniques that allow us to distinguish good arguments from bad.
As is apparent from the given definition, the term argument has a very specific meaning in logic. It does not mean, for example, a mere verbal fight, as one might have with one’s parent, spouse, or friend. Let us examine the features of this definition in greater detail. First of all, an argument is a group of statements. A statement is a sentence that is either true or false—in other words, typically a declarative sentence or a sentence component that could stand as a declarative sentence. The following sentences are statements:
Chocolate truffles are loaded with calories.
Melatonin helps relieve jet lag.
Political can.

1.0. Introduction Effective project management is consid.docxbraycarissa250
1.0. Introduction
Effective project management is considered an essential part of a company’s way to
success, as, to put it simply, its main purpose is to predict any risk that might affect a
project of a company and prepare the latter for it (Lock, 2013).
Since 2010, Netflix, world-leading subscription video on-demand streaming service,
has been producing its own content, such as series and full-length movies (Netflix,
2019). Such Original series or films could be considered as separate projects, which
are now the key to attracting new audiences and keeping existing Netflix subscribers
(Schomer, 2018). Therefore, it is critical for Netflix to make sure that all these projects
are carefully planned and are executed in a way as smooth as possible.
The aim of this report is to analyse the project management process of “Bird Box”, the
most successful Netflix movie project by far, thus gaining useful transferable
knowledge and providing recommendations for future similar projects.
1.1. Project Background
“Bird Box” is a 2018 movie produced by Netflix, which makes the film a so-called Netflix
Original, meaning it is available only on Netflix (Netflix, 2019; Netflix Media Center,
2019).
“Bird Box” is a sci-fi psychological drama thriller, which tells a story of a woman and
two children trying to survive in an apocalyptic world (Netflix, 2019). It premiered on
21st December 2018 (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
The movie is based on the eponymous novel by Josh Malerman, published in 2014
(Slauer, 2018).
Leading role in the film is performed by Sandra Bullock with the director being Susanne
Bier – both Academy Awards® winners (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
“Bird Box” became the most successful Netflix Original movie so far. Although it was
not highly appraised by critics, it generated significant amount of conversations and
feedback in social media and is the most watched Netflix Original movie at the moment
of writing (Lee, 2019).

2.0. Project Management Landscape
According to Wysocki (2014), “a project is a sequence of unique, complex, and
connected activities that have one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a
specific time, within budget, and according to specification”. Following from this
definition, every project should have a goal and a solution.
Regarding goal, Netflix creates its own movies and series as a part of its vertical
integration strategy. Indeed, replacing licensed content with its own not only eliminates
the cost Netflix would otherwise have spent on licensing but also helps make the
service unique, thus keeping existing subscribers and attracting new ones (Ball, 2013).
Therefore, it could be stated that the goal of “Bird Box” is to support Netflix’s “worth-
to-watch, unique content” strategy and encourage more subscriptions to the service
(Nicolaou, 2019).
As for solution, firstly, the movie is based on a novel, which has alr.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Discussion Responses

1. Why is it critical to notify an owner quickly if situations
change on a project from what was required in the contract?
So that design team or the responsible party can make changes
accordingly or find solutions effectively in order to keep the
project on time and on budget. In other words, quickly find out
if any changes will cause a change in the contract considering
both time and money.
TH
What is required in documenting a formal claim for extra money
and time?
There are numerous documents that can support a claim for
extra money and time. There must be substantial proof for
additional time and money. For costs there needs to be proof of
costs associated with the work of the contractor, plus additional
contractor costs, and original time / costs. Some specific
documentation includes time cards, schedule, quality control
reports, correspondence, productivity reports, daily construction
reports, job log, cost estimates, milestone review, labor cost
reports, material cost reports, or even a weather log. This is
another reason why daily reports are required for construction.
It provides the paper trail on why a claim was required. It also
8. assists in quantifying time and costs.
D G
Discuss some examples of excusable and non-excusable delay.
Excusable delays like we recently had are events caused by
Mother Nature. A natural disaster is an factor beyond our
control for delaying a project. Another excusable delay would
be in lock-down situations by law enforcement. This delay again
is beyond our control. When McAllen had lock-down La Plaza
Mall ( I believe last year) for gunman robbing a jewelry store,
the location businesses and construction sites were halted the
remainder of the day.
Non-excusable delays can be the subcontractors not showing up
to work or materials not being delivered on time. That is the
purpose of proper scheduling. This responsibility falls on the
shoulders of the contractor to ensure the project remains on
schedule.
S S
What risks do contractors take when contracts contain a No
Damage for Delay clause?
Known as the “no pay for delay” clause, some risks contractors
might face include accruing expenses. Contractors can attempt
to justify or defend certain matters (i.e. excusable delays) where
the contractor has no control over circumstances. Contractors
can experience risk of having project completion date delayed.

from https://www.acslawyers.com/no-damage-for-delay-clauses-
part-1-a-primer/
S P
Why is it critical to notify an owner quickly if situations
9. change on a project from what was required in the
contract?
It has been my experience that owners need to be notified
because:
· The owner needs to be aware if additional monies for the
project will be needed for such changes.
· Architect and engineer may request more re-design fees and
monies owed for additional services.
· For an owner to avoid contract can breach, an owner needs to
be in control of the project funds to assure themselves the
funding is still adequate.
· Owners need to be notified of the possibility to extend loan
periods plus any additional interest rates increases.
· Owners need to know if there is a loss of use on the project
building of the owner. Have the owner project requirements
have changed? Many times, owners have to comply with their
own business requirements.
· Owner may have opportunity to file a claim against a
contractor if poor work or substandard work was performed.
· Owner need to be aware of changes as they will affect project
schedules or critical path scheduling.
· Owner may be able to assist with architect / contractor
dilemmas and resolve the discussion sooner.
· An owner plays an important role in resolving construction
matters, financial matters and avoid potential litigation matters
if kept informed during construction changes.
J P
What is required in documenting a formal claim for extra money
and time?
A contractor must submit a Request for Information or whatever
specific document is called out in the specifications. As
mentioned above, the RFI form that we use at work has the
following: the line item, specification item, detail description of
the inconsistencies and possible cost, impact to the project and
10. the delay.
D C
Discuss some examples of excusable and non-excusable delay.
Excusable: Unforeseen events not at the hands/responsibility of
the contractor. Example: bad weather, design changes requested
by owner, labor strikes.
Inexcusable: Anything that the contractor could've prevented.
Example: Lack of material, lack of proper equipment, failing to
schedule workers properly and just overall bad management by
the manager.
J P C
What risks do contractors take when contracts contain a No
Damage for Delay clause?
“No Damage for Delay Clause” entitles contractors to not
pursue any pricing or additional compensation for any delays in
the project, unless stated otherwise in the prime contract.
O A
What risks do contractors take when contracts contain a No
Damage for Delay clause?
A “no damages for delays” clause: This limits damages for
construction delays, accelerations and other inefficiencies, can
serve a fair purpose, despite the perceived severity to a
contractor who falls behind schedule for reasons beyond its
control. Some of the risk associated with a “No Damage for
Delay clause” for contractors in a contract are follow:
· The right of the contractor to recover any cost or damages
incurred as a result of delay shall not be entertained
· The contractor working on the project shall assume all
liability, financial or otherwise, in connection with the contract
· The contractor shall save the owner from all damages or claim
11. that may arise because of inconvenience experienced by him
· This can allocate risk of delays between parties in the contract
involving the contractor and the subcontractors
· The project can lead to extension of time of which the
contractor will spend extra days, weeks or months on the job
site
· The contractor will accrue more spending as those extension
of time will result in paying the workmen without any return on
that will add to his profit
