...Economics/561 June 21, 2011 Learning Team Reflection: Week Four Team A group discussion for week 4 focus on the first topic of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GDP is the basic measure of an economy economic performance. This is the market value of the total quantity of final goods and services produced over the specified time period. The GDP is actually measured quarterly, but the number is then multiplied by four, so that the amount is in annual terms (Mankiw, 2010). In order for our team to understand this measure, we all agreed that it is necessary to first understand the concept of a final product. The GDP does not measure the market value of everything that is produced, because this would entail double counting. Each final product includes intermediate goods whose value is included in the value of the final product. Take, for example, a simple loaf of bread: the loaf is made from flour (and other ingredients), the flour is made from (say) wheat, and the wheat is grown from seeds. The value of the bread (the final product) includes the value of the flour, which includes the value of the wheat, which includes the value of the seeds. The GDP includes the market value of the bread — it does not then add the value of the flour, the value of the wheat and the value of the seeds. The value of a final product is also the value of the incomes of everyone involved in the production of both the final product and the intermediate goods that went into its production (Mankiw...

In this chapter we also learned the difference between decision support systems and business intelligence system. This chapter explained that Business Research is a systematic inquiry that provides the process of planning. After reading chapter two Ethics in Business Research, Learning Team A learned the issues that are in research ethics. This chapter also explained that the purpose of ethics research is to reassure the safety to those involved in the research process. This chapter explained that Ethic Research requires personal integrity and the need to have middle ground. After reading chapter four The Research Process, we learned the steps in this process. We also learned that research is a centered dilemma and decision. Once we found a topic we would like to write about we would start to find information on the topic and record this information on paper. Another factor that was learned in chapter four was how budgeting and value assessments influence our process for research design and proposing research. After reading chapter three Thinking Like a Researcher, we learned that the first step is finding out what you want to learn...

...Learning Team Reflection ECO/365 Learning Team Reflection Week three with its emphasis on market structure provided some areas of greater understanding than the previous week's focus on production and cost analysis. The topics of comfort increased and it seemed that more of the team members agreed with their areas of understanding. While some of the topics did provide a mild amount of difficulties in understanding, it certainly can be seen how the subject matter learned through the team paper has a direct relationship with our career fields. The discussion topic that focused on competition between companies in today’s modern economy provided a topic that was found to be more comfortable among some of our team members. It was easier to understand because of how economists classify the four markets into perfectly competitive, monopoly, monopolistic, and oligopolistic. It further helped to understand this topic through an example of classifying our own companies into one of the four markets. The subject that our team struggled with this week was that of analyzing how revenue decisions change depending on market structures. The reason this topic was confusing was due to the levels of competition in each particular market. After reviewing the material presented in class, we were able to understand that organizations with less competition and more of a monopoly in a particular area are typically more regulated than those with higher competition. This week's team...

We were also asked to calculate favorable and unfavorable financial leverage and interest. XXXX In week four of FIN/370, I learned many things related to financing and capital budgeting structure. We talked SOX and the requirements that the SEC sets forth for organizations to ensure financial compliance. This was a topic that I had quite a bit if firsthand knowledge with because when out SOX was first introduced our organization took it seriously and each employee of the company from the top down was responsible to attend the training and would be held accountable for their actions at every level of the organization. We also had good discuss about lease versus purchase and which option is better for individuals. It was interesting to see the different outlooks and opinions that other people had relating to whether they preferred leasing or purchasing. We had our week four calculation problems again which I struggled with several of them this week but not quite as many as the week before. I have watched the videos and utilized other sources to answer the financial...
