It was also back in grade five that I learned the frontal cortex in males take more time to develop and is responsible for the maturation of an adult male. So the actions I will describe, I like to blame on my undeveloped frontal cortex. It was sometime during lunch hour when the idea of free candy popped into my mind. I was to accomplish this by walking into the nearest grocery chain Food Basics, with a straight face that reflects no sign of guilt or as I believed would give any person the impression that I would be committing to my standers the biggest crime thus far, to steal the mouthwatering hazelnut filled chocolate wrapped in that valuable golden foil known as Ferrero Rocher. The cost at those times almost ten years back was one dollar twenty nine cents, which to a 10-year old who got a pocket allowance of eight dollars a week was an astonishing sum, to do the math approximately twenty percent of the allowance. Unfortunately I had spent every cent of that eight dollar. And the idea of slipping that small tri-pack chocolate into the big pockets of my West49 jacket seemed ever so simple and appealed to my senses. So I picked up the packet, walked down the aisle and did as planned putting most effort to...

...top 10 producers of cocoa in 2010 located around the equator, and the top 15 consuming countries are located above the brant line and are known as MEDCs. These MEDCs tend to be viewed as the richest in the world; where as the producing countries tend to be some of the poorest. This could be interpreted that the MEDCs may exploit their power over the producing countries in order to make more profit, on what could be viewed as a part of their daily life. The production of chocolate has been linked to fair trade, to try and deal with the ‘unfair’ exploitation of the LEDCs. The figure also shows the largest confectionery TNCs in 2010, with all of them being based in MEDCs. These companies turn a mass produced product into a ‘luxury product’ (Ferrero Group and Lindt&Sprungli). The general trend of cocoa prices is that there had been an increase from just over $1 per kilogram in 1995, to just over $2.5 per kilogram in 2010. However there have been massive fluctuations within this time, suggesting that producing cocoa is an uncertain business, making it hard for the producers to plan ahead, or save up in order to build a better life for themselves. Overall the trade patterns in cocoa and the consumption of chocolate have meant that the profit made from the chocolate stay within the MEDC, further widening the development gap between these two groups of countries, as the MEDCs can further develop and the LEDCs struggling to maintain a standard of...

Considering, as stated by The Wall Street Journal, “Prince Sports Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection as it struggles to compete with better-equipped rivals.” (Benoit & Gleason, 2012). It doesn’t appear as though they have an issue with the products they deliver, since undergoing new ownership they are truly trying to rejuvenate their products and name. As noted by Forbes, “Prince is launching an entirely new product collection in the final months of 2013, which is a non-traditional move for a tennis brand. It has used the US Open to announce its launch of an “ESP” (extreme string pattern) racquet technology, along with new racquets and bags, T22 tennis shoes and performance Prince Tour eye-wear.” (Heitner, 2013) Consumers like new technologies and innovations and if Prince can continue to endorse tennis “Super Stars” such as David Ferrer, “the current world number five” (Long, 2012).

...This week we are learning about cost analysis models and in this discussion assignment we are looking at fixed, variable, and mixed costs for three companies that we have chosen. Variable costs are production costs that fluctuate with productivity, fixed costs are those costs that remain the same and is typically unaffected by changes in productivity and mixed costs are those costs that are made up of both a fixed and variable element (Holtzman, 2013). I used the word typically when describing fixed costs because these costs have a maximum level of productivity they can sustain before needing to invest more. I've chosen three companies to evaluate their possible fixed and variable costs. They are American Airlines Inc., Best Buy, and The Ferrero Group. I will look at a major component of each company's...
