Determine the relevance and fulfillment of objectives, development efficiency, effectiveness, impacts and sustainability of the project.

/in /by

The purpose of the research paper is to familiarize students with various economic
development finance instruments and how they are used within different frameworks. Groups
are to select an economic development project in Northeast Ohio that has been implemented
and/or completed within the past 10 years. The project will be divided into 4 parts with each
member of the group responsible for one of those parts.
1) History – Provide the background of the project and the intended benefits. This
section will present a before and after of the site and the project. How did it go from what is
was to what it is? Discuss the site selection process and the driver(s) behind the location.
Discuss the causal theory that underlines the jurisdiction’s development project. Identify the
market, including market size, trends, and competition.
2) Strategy and Plan – Clearly state the goals and objectives of the project. Describe in
detail the elements of the strategy used to achieve the predetermined goals, such as number
of job opportunities, income redirection (the flow of money in the community), infrastructure
development etc. To what degree did the community economic development project
experience the transitions in local planning? Be sure to include a comparison of the project’s
development process to the economic planning challenges outlined in your textbook. Outline
the expected financial returns of the project as a whole.
3) Funding –Most communities use a mixture of strategies and funding
sources/mechanisms to support an economic development program and/or incentive. Identify
the project budget including funding sources and contributions from each stakeholder, and
concessions made from each stakeholder. Compare what financial benefits were received by
the private sector to the expected benefits of the public sector. Describe in detail the
configuration of public, private, and not-for-profit sector linkages that proved instrumental in
making the project a reality.
4) Critical Evaluation – Determine the relevance and fulfillment of objectives,
development efficiency, effectiveness, impacts and sustainability of the project. This section
will capture the intended and unintended effects and describe reasons why certain aspects of a
project or program have or have not been implemented as planned.

What would be the production possibility frontiers for Brazil and the United States?

/in /by

Suppose that there are two products: clothing and soda. Both Brazil and the United States produce each product. Brazil can produce 100,000 units of clothing per year and 50,000 cans of soda. The United States can produce 65,000 units of clothing per year and 250,000 cans of soda. Assume that costs remain constant. For this example, assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) is a straight line for each country because no other data points are available or provided. Include a PPF graph for each country in your paper. Chapter 5 of the Suranovic text is a good reference for this task.

Complete the following:

What would be the production possibility frontiers for Brazil and the United States?
Without trade, the United States produces AND CONSUMES 32,500 units of clothing and 125,000 cans of soda.
Without trade, Brazil produces AND CONSUMES 50,000 units of clothing and 25,000 cans of soda.
Denote these points on each COUNTRY’s production possibility frontier.
Using what you have learned and any independent research you may conduct, which product should each country specialize in, and why?
To assist in your thinking and discussion, additional questions to consider include:

What is the labor-intensive good?
What is the Marginal Rate of Transformation impact?
What is the labor-abundant country?
What is the capital-abundant country?
Could trade help reduce poverty in Brazil and other developing countries?

Analyse the extent to which factors of demand, supply and costs underline Cineworld’s decision of temporary exit from the markets in the US and UK

/in /by

An individual essay of 2,000 words.

All submissions must be presented in typescript (MS Word format), 12pt, 1.5 line spacing.

On 4 October 2020, Cineworld dropped a bombshell. According to a report in the Financial Times, Cineworld, the world’s second biggest cinema operator, was preparing to close all its 543 Regal theatres in the US and 128 cinemas in the UK after further delays to the new James Bond film pushed its struggling business to the brink.

The indefinite closure of 90 per cent of Cineworld’s screens, which is expected as soon as this week, raises fundamental questions over the viability of the company and a cinema sector devastated by the pandemic. In September the company posted a $1.6bn pre-tax loss for the first six months of the year, during which time its net debt rose to $8.2bn.

The closures will last until a fuller list of Hollywood releases are confirmed, according to people familiar with the plans, suggesting the closure could extend into the first quarter of 2021. More than 30,000 staff are expected to be affected worldwide, including 5,500 in the UK.

Cineworld presents an interesting case that illustrates one of the two fundamental decisions on participation (“which”) and extent (“how much”) facing business leaders. Managerial economics is the science of cost-effective management of scarce resources. Wherever resources are scarce, managers can make more cost-effective decisions by applying the discipline of managerial economics.

In this assignment, you are asked to apply the principles of managerial economics to analyse Cineworld’s decision to temporarily shut all its screens in the US and UK. In doing so, you are expected to use information from respectful sources, including the company’s annual reports to analyse whether the company’s decision makes sense. The coursework is intended for you to demonstrate a critical understanding of different economic concepts and how they can be used in business situations, to understand the methods and tools of economics and how they are applied to business situations, and to use theory and economic analysis to solve real world business problems. It is also intended to develop your skills of critical thinking in terms of understanding of different economic concepts and their applicability in the real world, your commercial awareness in terms of knowledge about current issues in economics and commerce, directly relevant to firms, businesses and industries, and your skills of strategic thinking in terms of ability to think about strategic interactions.

To complete the assignment, you are expected to focus on the following tasks:

• Analyse the extent to which factors of demand, supply and costs underline Cineworld’s decision of temporary exit from the markets in the US and UK
• Analyse whether the closure of only half of the company’s screens in the US and UK can be an alternative course of action
• Discuss the strategic implications Cineworld’s decision would have for the market equilibrium in the cinema market in the US and UK
To carry out this assignment you will undertake analysis of which (temporary exit) and how much (extent or the scale of operations) in order to identify the right course of action in the case of Cineworld. This will involve the analysis of demand, supply, costs, the interaction between demand and supply, and break-even analysis. It will also involve the analysis of supply shift as a result of Cineworld’s exit from the market and the equilibrium change the exit may cause.

You should use tables and figures to illustrate your analysis.

It is recommended that you read around such topics:

• Demand
• Supply
• Costs
• Market equilibrium
