Advantages and disadvantages exist to filing a consolidated return. Research the various resources you have available and identify an example of when a consolidated return has been advantageous to a group and when consolidation status has not worked to the group’s advantage. Discuss the various pros and cons of a consolidated return and comment on the examples posted by your peers.

For this week’s discussion topic, we will focus on a comparison of the traditional business type (brick and mortar stores) versus the internet business type (e commerce). Discuss the pros and cons of these two business types.
Discuss Globally Optimized Operations. Your initial post should be at least 250 words, APA format, and with references too. Conclude assignment with a questions for other student to answer and ponder too. Finally, use the attached document as a reference to completing this assignment.
Note that we are continuing with our scenario from Week One. This week you travel to the Roto Air plant in Florida to hold the project kick off meeting.
In preparation for the meeting:
Your paper must be 900 to 1200 words in length (not including title and reference pages) and must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the approved APA style guide. Contextual (Level One) headings must be used to organize your paper and your thoughts. You must cite at least two scholarly sources from the Ashford Online Library in addition to the textbook.
FYI this is the information from the first week paper that is being referred to:
Scenario: Roto Air
You will be working with the following scenario throughout this course. You are free to make reasonable assumptions when facts have not been provided, but do state them as you complete the assignments.
You are a project manager for Roto Air, Inc., a successful manufacturer of autonomous rotorcraft (drone helicopters) headed by CEO Jackie Copperfield. You work at the research and development facility in central New York and have been given the assignment of transitioning the manufacturing processes for the newest product, the Quick Drop 100, to its permanent manufacturing site in central Florida. The Florida plant is non union, has lower property taxes, and lower utility costs than the New York location. You will be sharing an existing building owned by Roto Air and used for assembly of other similar products. While floor space has been allocated for your product, the specialized machinery and tools must be procured. One of these machines is to be custom built and has a lead time of 5 months. Normal support functions such as human resources, facility maintenance, and manufacturing engineering are already available in Florida. A manual with the product assembly instructions and specifications is needed for training the new manufacturing technicians and will remain your responsibility to complete. An appropriate budget of $1M has been approved for first year transition costs. Annual savings from the move are expected to be $250,000 per year. The budget is controlled by John Golden, plant manager in Florida. Manufacturing is scheduled to start in the new location six months from today. You have a well qualified team of four other employees that are free to travel as needed from their New York home to Florida. Although the team members have worked on many projects, they have not worked together before. Team members are Jackie, Ken, Jose, and Shawn. Upon successful transition you will return to your responsibilities in New York.
Imagine that you just created a new start up company. You want to compete in the growing industry of drone navigation systems. VectorCal is the only major company in the field. You also want to be a leaner, faster version of a company that you view as being too slow and costly. Note: you may create and /or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a two to three (2 3) page paper in which you:

Entering an academic conversation involves many steps. Two of the most fundamental of these steps involve reading material in the field and forming a perspective on what you have read. Academics demonstrate their perspective on the material in the field by composing a literature review.
The purpose of this assignment is to assist you in gathering pertinent research for your final project. Begin by developing an outline that presents categories such as the background, theory, and challenges of the cultural conflict that you identified for your research topic. Then complete a literature review for each category. In brief, a literature review covers multiple areas on the topic including:
A literature review traces the genealogy of a topic in the field; it notes the history of the topic and the notable perspectives of others in the field who have addressed the topic. The purpose of a literature review is to demonstrate that a writer has insightfully and critically surveyed relevant literature in order to convince a targeted audience that this topic is worth addressing. The literature review is not intended to report the literature, but instead to synthesize it.
By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:
Competency 2: Analyze individual cultural competencies.
Competency 3: Analyze culturally and developmentally appropriate intervention strategies.
Competency 4: Apply theories, methods, and research in cross cultural awareness.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the human services profession.
Complete a 3–5 page literature review that cites 8–10 recently published (within the last five years), peer reviewed resources that inform your research topic. It will be helpful to consider making an outline for your final paper. The literature review should minimally include:
While you may find additional resources to use in your final submission, these sources should provide a conceptual framework of theories and strategies for your intervention.
Your literature review should cover the elements above and provide enough detail for your instructor to assess the relevance of your research and the application of the research to develop an evidence based intervention plan for your project.

| Unit 3 Individual Project | |

| Details: |
The firm currently uses 50,000 workers to produce 200,000 units of output per day. The daily wage per worker is $80, and the price of the firm’s output is $25. The cost of other variable inputs is $400,000 per day.
Assume that total fixed cost equals $1,000,000. Calculate the values for the following four formulas:
Then, assume that total fixed cost equals $3,000,000, and recalculate the values of the four variables listed above.
For both cases, calculate the firm’s profit or loss.
For both sets of calculations, compare the firm’s output price and the calculated average variable cost and average total cost. Should the firm shutdown immediately when the total fixed cost equals $1,000,000? Should the firm shut down immediately when the total fixed cost equals $3,000,000?
For one of the cases, if the firm can operate at a loss in the short run, how many employees need to be laid off in order for the company to break even? To calculate the number of workers to be laid off, divide the loss for the two situations by the daily wage per worker. Given a lower number of employees now working at the company, what is the change in worker productivity? Is the change in worker too large, and the firm should shut down immediately? Or in your opinion, can the workers increase their productivity, assuming that the units of output per day remain fixed at 200,000 units, so that the firm operates at a breakeven state?
Provide a two to four page report to management of the firm that discusses what should be done.
Be sure to show your work to support the decision you outline in your report.
