Even though independent gasoline stations have been having a difficult time, Susan Solomon has been thinking about starting her own independent gas station. Susan’s problem is to decide how large her station should be. The annual returns will depend on both the size of the station and a number of marketing factors related to oil industry and demand for gasoline. After careful analysis, Susan developed the following table: Size of Gasoline Station | Good Market ($) | Fair Market ($) | Poor Market ($) | Small | $70,000 | $30,000 | -$30,000 | Medium | $110,000 | $50,000 | -$40,000 | Large | $170,000 | $70,000 | -$50,000 | 1. Develop a decision table for this decision. 2. What is the Maximax decision? Maximax decision would be starting a large gasoline station. This is the optimistic approach which results in the highest of all possible payoffs ($170,000). 3. What is the Maximin decision...

...Unit 7 Revolution Era Project I chose to send Bob Marley back to the Revolutionary Era. He was an inspirational Jamaican musician. He advocated for social change. ("Bob Marley Official Site — Life & Legacy — History," n.d.) He never received a Grammy, even though he should have, but in 2001 he was acknowledged with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He was still a ten when he returned to Trench Town in Jamaica where his musical talent was nurtured. He made his way to the States in 1966. ("Bob Marley Official Site — Life & Legacy — History," n.d.) Bob Marley was a sort of revolutionist in the fact that his music was mostly about stopping racism and colonialism. In his song “One Drop” he say “fighting against ism and scism”. ("Bob Marley Official Site — Life & Legacy — History," n.d.) A monument in Siberia has an inscription that reads “Bob Marley Fighter For Freedom Armed With A Guitar”. ("Bob Marley Official Site — Life & Legacy — History," n.d.) He promoted peace and tolerance. He also believed in smoking marijuana and the good health benefits of it but that is for another time. Part II It is hard to say which role that Bob Marley should play as I see him as a leader, rebel, supporter, and artist. I do believe that I will put him as a rebel and artist. I think that suits Bob Marley best. The first event that Bob Marley will visit is the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The signing of the Declaration of Independence happened on July 4th, 1776. (Sayre, 2013...

...Unit 7 Project Part 3: Opposing Sides My initial position Euthanasia is wrong and should never be legalized Laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are in place to prevent abuse and to protect people from unscrupulous doctors and others. They are not, and never have been, intended to make anyone suffer. Activists often claim that laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are government mandated suffering. This claim would be similar to saying that laws against selling contaminated food are government mandated starvation. In a society as obsessed with the costs of health care and the principle of utility, the dangers of the slippery slope are far from fantasy. Assisted suicide is like a half-way house, or a stop on the way to other forms of direct euthanasia. If terminating life is a benefit, the reasoning goes, why should euthanasia be limited only to those who can give consent? Why do we need to ask for consent? In cases like Schiavo's touch on basic constitutional rights, such as the right to live and the right to due process, and consequently there could very well be a legitimate role for the federal government to play. There's a precedent as a result of the highly publicized deaths of infants with disabilities in the 1980s. The federal government enacted 'Baby Doe Legislation, which would withhold federal funds from hospitals that kept lifesaving treatment from newborns based on the expectation of disability. The medical community has to have restrictions...

...Objectives - MS Project 2010 * Change the task type settings to control how resources affect task assignments * Apply a preset resource contour to change work value distribution * Working with task information forms When planning a project schedule, adjustments are often needed to reflect necessary changes in project scope, assignments, etc. In MS Project, when an assignment is changed, the schedule is recalculated to display the changes. You can work with the scheduling method and the task type settings when making changes to the initial resource assignment. In the previous lesson, the initial resource assignments were made for our project. But we need to learn how to make adjustments to how those resources are used. It is important that you read every part of this lab carefully, if not twice. Working with Effort-Driven Scheduling How a task reacts to the addition and removal of resources is defined by the scheduling method and the task type settings. In MS Project, the default scheduling method is effort-driven scheduling. Effort-driven scheduling extends or shortens the duration of a task to accommodate changes to resources but doesn't change the total work for the task. Work is the amount of effort, or number of hours, resources put into a task. The total work for a task is determined by the duration estimate for the task and the initial resource assignment using the following formula: Work = Duration * Units For example...

...replaying the just-completed conversation with one of his peers from the Executive Leadership Team (ELT). The call, Matulovic mused, had been similar to three others he had participated in that week, each with a different ELT member. The results of a new prioritization process—a list of IT projects that would be funded in 2004—had been unveiled only a few days earlier. But already a storm was gathering. The phone calls from other executives had common themes. All the callers had expressed concern that high priorities for their areas of the company had not been funded. Some had repeated views expressed during the prioritization process by people who worked for them about supposed categorization mistakes that penalized their business units. And each of the calls had concluded with an informal request to insert an unfunded project (or two) into the IT department’s work plans. “We don’t have to reopen the process,” the most recent caller had said, “but perhaps spare capacity might be applied to make some progress on this project in 2004—we’ve done this before, and it would mean a lot to our area and to the company’s growth plans.” The 10 business units that made up VWoA had proposed more than 40 projects, with funding requirements totaling $210 million (US). A budget of only $60 million (an amount capped by VWAG, the parent company of VWoA) made some degree of disappointment inevitable. But the intensity of pushback against the new process was surprising. The ELT had endorsed the idea...
