The Individual Project

Choose to study a business, big or small, local or international. Based on its current products and status, identify a new international market for this company. The international market can be a region, a country or also choose a city/area in this country( for aexample New York City in the US). This must be a new market that this business has never entered. You create a business plan for the chosen business to enter and develop its business in the selected market.

Chapter 2 Demand and Supply Problem

Project Description:
In this problem, you will calculate the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and equilibrium price. Then you will determine the effects of changes in the market conditions on equilibrium.

2 In cells D8-D14, E10-E14, H8-H13, and I10-I13, enter the coefficients and values for the market demand and market supply functions.

Note: Do not use the equal sign when entering a numeric value. The values for income and number of suppliers should be entered in thousands and the value for millennials should be entered in millions. 1
3 In cell H18, determine whether the quantity demanded increases or decreases when the price of Syrah increases by $1.

In cell J18, by using a cell reference, calculate the change in the quantity demanded. Refer to an appropriate cell among D8-D14.

Note: The change in the quantity demanded must be a positive number. 1
4 In cell H19, determine whether the quantity supplied increases or decreases when the price of Syrah increases by $1.

In cell J19, by using a cell reference, calculate the value of the shift. Refer to an appropriate cell among H8-H13.

5 In cell H23, determine the direction in which the demand curve shifts when the price of substitute bottles of wine decreases by $1.

In cell J23, by using a cell reference, calculate the amount of the shift in the demand curve. Refer to an appropriate cell among D8-D14.

Note: The amount of the shift in the demand curve must be a positive number. 1
6 In cell H24, determine the direction in which the supply curve shifts when the price of substitute bottles of wine decreases by $1.

In cell J24, by using a cell reference, calculate the amount of the shift in the supply curve. Refer to an appropriate cell among H8-H13.

Note: The amount of the shift in the supply curve must be a positive number. 1
7 In cells H27 and H28, by using cell references, calculate the bottles demanded and bottles supplied, respectively, corresponding to Price of Syrah In cell H26.

8 In cell H32, determine whether there is a shortage or surplus corresponding to Price of Syrah In cell H26.

In cell J32, by using cell references, calculate the amount of shortage/surplus. Use cells H27 and H28.

Note: The amount of shortage/surplus must be a positive number. 1
9 In cells H35 and H36, by using cell references, calculate the bottles demanded and bottles supplied, respectively, corresponding to Price of Syrah In cell H34. Use the Excel SUMPRODUCT function as a part of your formula. Use cell H34 and the appropriate cells among D8-D14, E10-E14, H8-H13, and I10-I13. 1

Mastering Logical Fallacies and The Shame of the Nation

Read two books, Mastering Logical Fallacies: The Definitive Guide to Flawless Rhetoric and Bulletproof Logic(Withey); The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America(Kozol),

Students will then craft a reaction paper in which they evaluate the Kozol’s theories, arguments and conclusions using the techniques they have learned from Withey. In other words, students must offer a critique of Kozol’s logic using the theories and ideas of Withey. (AKA find logical fallacies proposed by Withey in”The Shame of the Nation” and explain them)

If Hepting v. AT&T results in “Big Brother” being allowed to eavesdrop and/or review the local and toll telephone dialing and bills of individuals, will U.S. citizens and consumers have any privacy rights left regarding use of communication technologies?

EFF Case Study Information

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a class-action lawsuit against AT&T on January 31, 2006, accusing the telecom giant of violating the law and the privacy of its customers by collaborating with the National Security Agency (NSA) in its massive, illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans’ communications. In May 2006, many other cases were filed against a variety of telecommunications companies. Subsequently, the Multi-District Litigation Panel of the federal courts transferred approximately 40 cases to the Northern District of California federal court.

In Hepting v. AT&T, EFF sued the telecommunications giant on behalf of its customers for violating privacy law by collaborating with the NSA in the massive, illegal program to wiretap and data-mine Americans’ communications. Evidence in the case includes
undisputed evidence provided by former AT&T telecommunications technician Mark Klein showing AT&T routed copies of Internet traffic to a secret room in San Francisco controlled by the NSA.

In June of 2009, a federal judge dismissed Hepting and dozens of other lawsuits against telecoms, ruling that the companies had immunity from liability under the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments Act (FISAAA), which was enacted in response to court victories in Hepting. Signed by President Bush in 2008, the FISAAA allows the attorney general to require the dismissal of the lawsuits over the telecoms’ participation in the warrantless surveillance program if the government secretly certifies to the court that the surveillance did not occur, was legal, or was authorized by the president—certification that was filed in September of 2008.
