The three solutions that Anthony Downs proposes to get rid of rational political parties in our country or lessen their rational behavior are:

1. Decrease the number of risk Acceptant voters who are willing to take a chance on the candidate even though they do not have sufficient information. These voters support their rational political party no matter what. I: they enable rational political parties in our country.
2. Increase risk adverse voters who question the behavior of the political party and will not support it if the party engages in ambiguity and convergence. I: they force the parties to be more responsible.
3. Add a strong third party or have a multi-party system. If we have a multi-party system political parties can’t change their positions on issues and candidates have to be clear about what they really believe in.

 

Define and explain about risk adverse and risk acceptant voters (2 points)

What causes costs in our operation? How much should be charged back to the customers and producing departments? How do our costs compare with those of outsourcing firms that perform the same service?

Coursework

Over the past 10 to 15 years, companies such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Dow Chemical have taken certain support departments and formed shared services centers (SSCs). The SSC performs activities that are used across a wide array of the company’s divisions and departments. Payroll, receiving, customer billing, and accounts receivable processing are examples of SSCs. The company reaps the savings from economies of scale and standardized process design. Tools to measure performance are also incorporated into the SSC design. The SSC is faced with three important cost questions:
1. What causes costs in our operation?
2. How much should be charged back to the customers and producing departments?
3. How do our costs compare with those of outsourcing firms that perform the same service?

The drivers used to develop charging rates are seldom unit-based drivers (based on production). Instead, they might include the number of transactions processed and the percentage of errors in customer-provided information. Because activity-based costing (ABC) provides a better understanding of costs and their related drivers, it provides a better framework for managing SSC costs than traditional cost accounting systems.

Peter Singer On Poverty Ethics

The actual question to focus on….

Topic 1. Singer on Poverty In this paper, you’re going to discuss one published objection that has been raised against Peter Singer’s poverty ethics (e.g. by Amia Srinivasan or Bonnie Steinbock). Either [a] defend Singer from the objection or [b] improve the objection, and explain why the new version, unlike the original version, is a success. Or [c] come make your own objection.
