Compute the elasticity for each independent variable. Note: Write down all of your calculations.
When P= 500, C=600, I=5,500, A=10,000, & M=5000, using regression equation,
QD= - 5200 – 42(500) + 20(600) + 5.2(5500) + 0.20(10000) + 0.25(5000) = 17,650
Price Elasticity = (P/Q) (∆Q/∆P)
With regard to the regression equation, ∆Q/∆P = -42.
Price Elasticity is therefore (Ep) = (P/Q) (-42) (500/17650) = -1.19, likewise,
Ec = 20(600/17560) = 0.68.
EA will be got as = (P/Q) (0.20) (10000/17650) = 0.11
EI = (P/Q) (5.2) (5500/17650) = 1.62
EM = (P/Q) (0.25) (5000/17650) = 0.07
Determine the implications for each of the computed elasticity for the business in terms of short-term and long-term pricing strategies. Provide a rationale in which you cite your results.
Price elasticity is basically -1.19. This is representing the point that a 1 percent increase in the product’s price to lead to 1.19 percent decrease in the demanded quantity. This therefore makes the demand for this specific product to be elastic. Consequently, an increase in the income may dismiss away consumers (Chiappori & Ekeland, 2009).
Cross price elasticity is got to be 0.68 meaning that if the competitor’s price of the products increases by 1%, the quantity demanded will basically increase by 0.68% for this particular product. It is therefore important to note that this product is somehow inelastic to the price of the competitor consequently creating no point of concern on the side of the competitor because their prices will not affect the sales (Kreps, 2013).
Income elasticity is at 1.62. This indicates that a 1 % rise in the average area income will lead to an increase in the quantity demanded by 1.62%. Based on this, the product is considered to be elastic and the company can as well opt to increase the price if the average income rises.
Advertisement elasticity is at 0.11 resulting to a perception that a 1% increase in the advertisement expenditure will increase the demanded quantity by 0.11%. Therefore demand is relatively high with regard to advertisement (Henderson, 2008). Due to this, additional advertisementdoes not automatically mean that an organization can increase the prices of its products since it can as well discourage its consumers.
Considering microwave ovens situated on the region, elasticity is got at 0.07. This is a clear indication that if there is an increase of 1% in the quantity of ovens in the region, the quantity demanded will basically increase by 0.07%. With regard to this, demand is considered as inelastic and price strategy can neglect this element.

Introduction
Managers have the responsibility of making decisions and the decisions that they make reflect on the different aspects of the organization. A wrong/improper decision means that the organization will be affected negatively and the vice versa is true when they make the right decision. The effect of the decision can be felt to not only the organization but also the profile of the decision maker who happens to be the manager.
Plan to determine effectiveness
To determine the effectiveness of the market structure of low calorie foods, a study needs to be done on the target audience for the specific products. The major factors that usually determine the revenue in a given company usually have demand on the list plus the needs of the society. The analysis based on these aspects will thus assist in determine how the plan will fair. Casting a blind eye on the same means that the company will be ignoring a huge aspect that requires attention. In addition to that, it vital to consider the trend of the target market. By effective prediction of the trend, it will possible for the company to know what products will be favored by the market. It follows that the company will drop the production of products that will not be favored by the market. It is further possible to know which product should be served to international markets and which should be served to the local markets. The company will as thus have to adopt a market structure that will suit their products after realization of how the market operates. Moreover, inflation trends should be examined as they will influence how the business will survive revenue wise. Employment trends are also key since human resource is a key department in the company since labor is a basic factor of production (Best, 2000). By having a look at all the aforementioned aspects, the business will be in a position to come up with an effective market structure. A study on factors such as demand of the market, the needs it has, inflation levels in the economic environment among others will assist in coming up with a tailor made structure for the market.
Factors that might have caused the change
The two factors that might have caused the change are income and tastes. The income of a consumer is what dictates the kind of spending that the consumer will have. A consumer with a relatively higher income that a different one will go for more products since there is spending power. A consumer will thus be able to tell those products that are favored by the amount of earning that they have. The vice versa is true which means when the same customer earns less, the customer will buy less. The revenue of a company.

Part 1: Art selection
·
· These are the work of the arts from the ancients to modern art. The reason for the selection of this theme of the art is the association of the ideas behind the sculptures is the religion. Like in the first one is the sculpture of the Ares, who was the God of Greece, he was considered to be the God of war. This sculpture was made by the Scopas who was the ancient Greek sculpture. The second work of art is Moses which was for the Tomb of Pope II, which was made by Michelangelo who made this piece of art in the early 16th century (1506). The third piece of art is also related to the religion, in which the wall depicts the Biblical figures, this was made by Claus Sluter, who was the artist from the Dutch origin.
The most engaging part of these arts is the religious depiction which evolved through the times. From Ares to Jesus in the arts.
· The common theme is the religious personalities of the times in which they were made.
· It is important to vary the themes through the times, as it describes the artistic preferences of the people, and how this had been addressed by the artists.

Part 1 Post a ResponseVarious reform groups with various causes.docxsherni1
Part 1: Post a Response
Various reform groups with various causes developed in the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s; these are loosely called “Progressives” as they aimed to use government policies or science to improve and advance society. Also, this period was a time when the US started as a major player in international conflicts—first in the “Spanish American War and then in World War I. There were deep isolationist sentiments about such overseas entanglements, and President Wilson first has one position and then the other.
Choose and discuss (in a full paragraph or two) one of the following two topics related to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
In the Progressive Era (roughly 1890–1920), multiple groups advocated for reforms in various aspects of government, society, and the economy. Discuss here the “muckrakers” and Taylor’s “scientific management”.
Explain briefly the approach and aim of the “muckrakers” and that of F. W. Taylor.
Compare their approaches and describe your feelings about them, and relate some modern situation that reminds you of one of these approaches and reform causes.
Identify the source(s) where you read about the reform cause.
From the text, Wilson did not maintain his own campaign slogan (“He kept us out of war”).
Explain with some specifics why Wilson became pro-war. Describe your own feelings on that issue when you look back at it, and whether he was right to change.
Briefly, identify a similar international consideration today—or of the last 20 years, and what lesson might be drawn from the example in Wilson’s time.
Identify the source(s) where you read about Wilson.

What areas should an AAC assessment evaluate?
What areas of communication do AAC assessments address?
How do assessment results inform AAC strategies/techniques?
Identify AAC assessments used within your school or district and explain when each assessment would most appropriately be used.
Support your assessment summary with 1-3 scholarly resources.
Part 2: Case Studies
Read the following case studies to inform Part 2 of the assignment.
Case Study 1: Mandy
Mandy is a 3-year-old preschool student who has been diagnosed with ASD and is nonverbal. She is sensitive to loud noises and certain textures. She was recently referred to a child study team by the family physician. Her family doctor described her as having low muscle tone, delayed communication, and delayed motor skills. She uses her behavior and physicality for communicating needs. Mandy does point and reach for desired items, but she has not been able to reproduce any signs, despite her parents' attempts to teach her sign language for the past year. She often appears to be disengaged when playing or when her parents are encouraging her to sign. Her eye contact is minimal, tantrums are common, crying happens daily, and change is very difficult for her.
Case Study 2: Wilson
Wilson is an 11-year-old boy who was diagnosed with ASD as a toddler. He is physically healthy, but he is very sensitive to hot, cold, noises, and pain. He does not like crowds or lines and struggles with class assemblies, lunch time periods, and recesses. He is in a self-contained special education classroom on a public school campus and attends general education class for music only. He is capable of doing some general education class work, but his behavior is far too unpredictable to make further placement in a general education classroom feasible at this time. He can be impulsive and destructive when frustrated or overwhelmed. He is quite social and enjoys interacting with his peers in both settings; however, it can be difficult to discern when he will have a meltdown. He has tantrums and destroys property, and his participation in some aspects of school is limited. When changes in the schedule occur, such as school assemblies or fire drills, Wilson has a hard time adjusting and oftentimes tips over desks or kicks. He has not been able to attend the last two field trips due to his parents’ concerns for his safety.
Case Study 3: Cole
Cole is a 16-year-old boy with ASD and cognitive delays. He was born three weeks premature and required intensive neonatal care for six weeks after birth, but he is currently in good health. He passed all hearing and vision screenings. Cole uses gestures and a few verbal words to express his needs and wants; for example yes/no and hungry. He uses a few sign language gestures and some picture symbols, but mostly relies on a communication device in order to communicate with teachers, peers, and parents.

Part 1: Post a Response
During the Reconstruction Era, the Southern states created many laws and policies of their own. These “Black Codes” either tried to minimize federal laws and policies or were in retaliation to them.
Suppose you were a former slave during this era, which one of the following restrictions would you find the most offensive?
Restrictions or prohibitions on voting
Restrictions such as those on job, land purchase, and mobility
Inability to serve on juries or accuse a white person in court
Then, in a full paragraph or two:
Discuss the immediate and long-term consequences from your chosen restriction.
Identify any lessons we can learn today from this restriction and its impact.
Identify the source(s) where you read about the restriction.

PART 1 OVERVIEW
In this project you are asked to conduct your own research into two variables that interest you. This project will give you an opportunity to apply the skills and techniques you learn in this class and to produce a professional report using appropriate technology. This is a MAJOR, on-going assignment and is worth 15% of your grade; the equivalent of one unit exam grade.
Your projects will be graded in stages (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) according to the attached rubrics.
To be successful on your project you must:
· Read and follow instructions carefully.
· Work according to the timeline provided and submit work on time.
· 10% will be deducted for each calendar day the project is submitted after the due date. A project is considered “submitted” when it is available for the professor to view on Canvas. No credit is given after 5 days late.
· Students who fail to submit earlier parts of the project may still submit later parts of the project as long as their topic has been approved by their instructor and as long as they collect their own data. Points will still be taken away for lack of completeness unless those prior sections are completed and included.
· Write clearly, using appropriate terminology and accurate mathematical notation. College-level writing is expected, as is the use of correct grammar.
· If you need help with writing, feel free to use the HCC Writing Center: For further information, see the HCC Web page under the heading “Writing Center” or call the Writing Center at (443) 518-4101. PGCC students at the Laurel College Center should see the PGCC Writing Center for assistance.
· Submit a neat, professional report typed using your choice of word processing software (including a mathematical notation package) and including printouts and diagrams from your choice of statistical software/technology.
· In particular, embedded graphs or charts and/or computer printouts will be expected as part of the report. Hand-drawn graphs are not acceptable.
· Please note: Excel should be used only with caution as it does not consistently follow accepted statistical practices.
· Original work is expected. This means that students who are repeating the course are expected to create an entirely new project using two new variables of interest.
· For example, you might watch a YouTube video on how to use StatCrunch or have a peer show you how to create a histogram using a different data set (not the one in your project), then try it yourself with your data set. You might consult your textbook or your instructor about a concept, but then put the explanation into your own words.
· Getting Help:
· For this project, you may consult any resource for general help and advice (including your instructor, tutors (LAC, HR230), classmates, or the internet) provided that your write-up (computations, explanations, and embedded diagrams) are your own work.
· Submission guidelines:
· You should submit your project via the Canvas link as a PDF or Word.

Part 1: Art selection
·
· These are the work of the arts from the ancients to modern art. The reason for the selection of this theme of the art is the association of the ideas behind the sculptures is the religion. Like in the first one is the sculpture of the Ares, who was the God of Greece, he was considered to be the God of war. This sculpture was made by the Scopas who was the ancient Greek sculpture. The second work of art is Moses which was for the Tomb of Pope II, which was made by Michelangelo who made this piece of art in the early 16th century (1506). The third piece of art is also related to the religion, in which the wall depicts the Biblical figures, this was made by Claus Sluter, who was the artist from the Dutch origin.
The most engaging part of these arts is the religious depiction which evolved through the times. From Ares to Jesus in the arts.
· The common theme is the religious personalities of the times in which they were made.
· It is important to vary the themes through the times, as it describes the artistic preferences of the people, and how this had been addressed by the artists.

Part 1 Post a ResponseVarious reform groups with various causes.docxsherni1
Part 1: Post a Response
Various reform groups with various causes developed in the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s; these are loosely called “Progressives” as they aimed to use government policies or science to improve and advance society. Also, this period was a time when the US started as a major player in international conflicts—first in the “Spanish American War and then in World War I. There were deep isolationist sentiments about such overseas entanglements, and President Wilson first has one position and then the other.
Choose and discuss (in a full paragraph or two) one of the following two topics related to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
In the Progressive Era (roughly 1890–1920), multiple groups advocated for reforms in various aspects of government, society, and the economy. Discuss here the “muckrakers” and Taylor’s “scientific management”.
Explain briefly the approach and aim of the “muckrakers” and that of F. W. Taylor.
Compare their approaches and describe your feelings about them, and relate some modern situation that reminds you of one of these approaches and reform causes.
Identify the source(s) where you read about the reform cause.
From the text, Wilson did not maintain his own campaign slogan (“He kept us out of war”).
Explain with some specifics why Wilson became pro-war. Describe your own feelings on that issue when you look back at it, and whether he was right to change.
Briefly, identify a similar international consideration today—or of the last 20 years, and what lesson might be drawn from the example in Wilson’s time.
Identify the source(s) where you read about Wilson.

Part 2: Case Studies
Read the following case studies to inform Part 2 of the assignment.
Case Study 1: Mandy
Mandy is a 3-year-old preschool student who has been diagnosed with ASD and is nonverbal. She is sensitive to loud noises and certain textures. She was recently referred to a child study team by the family physician. Her family doctor described her as having low muscle tone, delayed communication, and delayed motor skills. She uses her behavior and physicality for communicating needs. Mandy does point and reach for desired items, but she has not been able to reproduce any signs, despite her parents' attempts to teach her sign language for the past year. She often appears to be disengaged when playing or when her parents are encouraging her to sign. Her eye contact is minimal, tantrums are common, crying happens daily, and change is very difficult for her.
Case Study 2: Wilson
Wilson is an 11-year-old boy who was diagnosed with ASD as a toddler. He is physically healthy, but he is very sensitive to hot, cold, noises, and pain. He does not like crowds or lines and struggles with class assemblies, lunch time periods, and recesses. He is in a self-contained special education classroom on a public school campus and attends general education class for music only. He is capable of doing some general education class work, but his behavior is far too unpredictable to make further placement in a general education classroom feasible at this time. He can be impulsive and destructive when frustrated or overwhelmed. He is quite social and enjoys interacting with his peers in both settings; however, it can be difficult to discern when he will have a meltdown. He has tantrums and destroys property, and his participation in some aspects of school is limited. When changes in the schedule occur, such as school assemblies or fire drills, Wilson has a hard time adjusting and oftentimes tips over desks or kicks. He has not been able to attend the last two field trips due to his parents’ concerns for his safety.
Case Study 3: Cole
Cole is a 16-year-old boy with ASD and cognitive delays. He was born three weeks premature and required intensive neonatal care for six weeks after birth, but he is currently in good health. He passed all hearing and vision screenings. Cole uses gestures and a few verbal words to express his needs and wants; for example yes/no and hungry. He uses a few sign language gestures and some picture symbols, but mostly relies on a communication device in order to communicate with teachers, peers, and parents.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Demand Estimation
Low-Calorie Microwavable Food Processing Company
This company is involved in making low-calorie microwavable
food. The company wants to ensure they maintain a continuous
good performance in the market. Therefore, it is essential to
estimate its demand, elasticity and project future performance.
The following is a demand equation for the product and a table
of its performance in 26 supermarkets nationwide.

Implications of the Elasticities
The figures above depict the dominance of inelastic demand.
They give an impression of small change in demand in spite of
an observable change in price. Calculations were done
10. according to the formula provided above. I would recommend
that this firm should not cut the price to increase its market
shares as according to the elasticities figures, there is relatively
a small change in demand as a result of change in price (Barber,
2010).

Factors that could change the supply and demand for the
12. product
There is a number of prevailing factors that could possibly
change the supply and demand for the product. The most
common one is price increases or decreases. An incremental
decrease in product price leads to huge increase in the demand
for the product. On the other hand, an increase in the product
price leads to decrease in demand by a significant margin.
As population rises, more and more people become aware of the
product and therefore demand increases as a result. Due to this,
the company is forced to supply more quantities of the product
to satisfy the growing demand. They are not impressed in
supplying more products in the market at depressed prices.
Furthermore, available substitutes such as hot food supplies
affect the demand and supply of the product. A number of
people are able to acquire the same food products at restaurant
or being supplied by other competitive companies leading to a
drop in demand (Starr, 2011).
Consumer tastes and preferences affect the supply and demand
of goods and services in the market. Some consumers prefer
cooking their own food rather than buying packaged
microwavable food. Again, consumer trends may shift basing on
the fact that microwavable food is not safe.
Another cause could be recession and high rates of
unemployment. The recession is one good example of when and
how change starts occurring in supply and demand. In the
current recession that we are living in, people are losing their
jobs and so they have to find ways to economize and make
changes in the way they spend and what they purchase.
Consumers also take in mind what is needed the most and what
is considered a luxury or treat. People will often differentiate
between their needs and wants.
13. Under free market conditions, a negative shift in demand results
in lower quantities demanded and as such, suppliers are inclined
to reduce supply. A positive shift in demand leads to a rise in
quantities demanded and a positive shift in supply as suppliers
position themselves to take advantage of higher prices. As a
supplier, the lower the price, the less I will supply to the market
in a bid to push up prices when demand increases. With a rise in
demand, I would supply more units to the market so that I can
make more profits by charging more for the product (Palmer &
Ontario, 2006).
Competition from other substitutes should be contained by
reducing the price of the goods and commodities sold. This will
encourage consumers to opt for the cheaper commodity as
opposed to the alternatives in the market. The same principle
can be applied in situations where consumer tastes and
preferences change in favor of a rival product. It should be
noted that there is a minimum below which prices cannot be
reduced due to overheads and incidental costs like repair and
maintenance. In other instances, it may be prudent for the firm
to invest in products that the consumers prefer rather than
engage in expensive price wars.
Primary Manner In Which Both The Short-Term And The Long-
Term Changes In Market Conditions Could Impact The Demand
For, And The Supply Of The Product.
Short-term changes in the market include seasonal supply of
substitute commodity, seasonal product preferences, price
fluctuations, inflation in economy among others. The short-term
changes tend to create sharp increase or decrease in both
demand and supply seasonally but in overall the price or
demand deviation is maintained at manageable levels.
On the other hand long-term changes in the market would
involve customer shifting their trends permanently and adopting
the usage of another better product leading to decreased demand
14. and supply. Other factors that would play a great role in long-
term changes in the market include change in technology,
change of culture and lifestyle, change in economy among
others. A change in technology would mean that people will
cease to use the product as there are other better means of
utilizing the product or get totally replaced products. This
implies that demand will decrease substantially similarly to
supply as prices will tend to decrease discouraging the
suppliers. Change in feeding culture leads to permanent shift of
consumer trends leading to a decrease in demand and thus the
supply. In case the economic performance of a nation improves,
consumer tends to shift to higher preferences and tastes
lowering the demand and supply of the product (Palmer &
Ontario, 2006).
.
Crucial Factors That Could Cause Rightward Shifts of the
Demand and Supply Curves
The factors that lead to rightward shift include rise in income.
With increased income, consumers have extra or more money to
spend particularly on normal goods. Hence, the demand on the
product will increase despite of high prices offered.
Consequently supply will increase shifting both the curves of
demand and supply rightwards. Also when the price of
complement goes down and that of substitute goes up, demand
and supply curves will shift rightwards as more people tends to
prefer the product they can afford. Also the people preference
may make them to like a certain product hence causing an
increase in demand and thus the supply. This results in a
rightward shift of demand and supply curve. Other cases include
the situation where the consumer expect an increase in value of
the product, hence increasing demand and supply thus the
rightward shift. An increase in population too.
15. Crucial Factors That Could Cause Leftward Shifts of the
Demand and Supply Curves
A leftward shift is caused by a decrease in income. The
consumers have insufficient funds to spend and they spend the
little they have on inferior goods. The demand for the product
goes down. The suppliers are unwilling to supply more hence
the leftward shift for both cases. An increase in price will
discourage consumers from purchasing the product by causing
them to look for a cheap substitute; this causes the demand and
supply to decrease, consequently leading to a leftward shift.
Change in tastes also causes the leftward shift of the demand
and supply curves when the preference disfavors the product.
