M1D1: Deviance Typology
Upon successful completion of this activity, students will be able to:
1. Explain the concept of social deviance and provide examples of deviant behavior in social context
2. Use major theoretical perspectives to understand deviant behavior and social reactions to and consequences of deviant behavior.
Now that you have been introduced to the academic concept of deviant behavior, I would like you to think about applying this idea to behavior that you observe in the world. The online discussion will be a place for you to share your insights about these ideas with your classmates and to get feedback on your ideas, as well as to provide feedback to your peers.
Respond to the following:
Describe and discuss a current social trend or phenomenon using the four categories of the “Deviance Typology.” Give an example of “Negative Deviance,” “Rate Busting,” “Deviance Admiration” and “Positive Deviance.”
Discuss which members of society are likely to perceive the trend you are discussing from which perspective. For example, attending Justin Beiber’s movie (or concert) could be understood in a number of different ways using these theories; which members of society would see this act in which light and why?
M1D2: Labeling Theory
As you begin to think about deviant behavior from a social constructionist perspective, you may recognize yourself as “deviant” in ways that you had not considered before. Howard Becker suggests that deviance is “in the eye of the beholder.” For this discussion, I want you to imagine how you have constructed deviants in the way that you “behold” folks who are different from you.
Respond to the following:
Howard Becker states, “…social groups create deviance by making the rules whose infraction constitutes deviance, and by applying those rules to particular people and labeling them as outsiders. From this point of view, deviance is not a quality of the act the person commits, but rather a consequence of the application by others of the rules and sanctions to an ‘offender’” (40-41).Think of a group that you belong(ed) to that has/had special rules specific to that group. Describe how those rules can be applied to non-members to differentiate them from the group and to label them as outsiders. Some examples could include clubs, gangs, sports teams (or fans), cliques, or any other group with rules that are written or understood by members.

to a stable response, her dose requirements have increased lately. Diagnostic tests have ruled out worsening disease. She is compliant with taking her medication. There are no known drug interactions. Her changing dose requirements are possibly explained by the pharmacologic effect known as:

M I N I C A S E THE POWER TO COOL OFF IN FLORIDAThe Indiantown Cogeneration Project involved the constructionand operation of a coal-fired plant in MartinCounty, Florida, that produces electricity and steam. Thecapital cost (including interest during construction) wasapproximately $770 million. Since completion, it has anelectric generating capacity of 330 megawatts (net) and asteam capacity of 175,000 pounds per hour. The projectsells the electric power to Florida Power & Light Company(FPL) under a 30-year contract and the steam to CaulkinsIndiantown Citrus Company under a 15-year contract.FPL’s electricity payments have two parts: one for electriccapacity and the other for the electric energy that itreceives.The project’s financing consisted of $630 million of30-year 9% APR interest rate debt and $140 million ofequity. The debt requires equal annual sinking fund paymentsof $31.5 million beginning in year 11.Depreciation is straight line to zero over 20 years. The taxrate is 40%. Other information about the projectincludes:QUESTIONS1. Estimate the project’s CFATs for each of the 30 years.2. Using a 7.15% cost of capital, and assuming a zerosalvage value, calculate the project’s NPV and IRR.3. The debt was issued a year before the project wascompleted. Calculate the interest coverage ratio andcash-flow coverage ratio for each of years 10 (the firstyear of the sinking fund, year 11 of the debt)through 20.4.

M1_IND2. A start-up publishing company estimates that the fixed costs of its first major project will be $175,000, the variable cost will be $20 per book, and the selling price per book will be $28.
a) How many books must be sold to break even?
b) What is the total revenue at the break-even point?
c) If the publishers take a total of $60,000 in salary (what cost is affected?) – how many books must be sold to break even?
d) What is the total revenue for the break-even volume when the publishers take a total of $60,000 in salary?

Assignment 3: Analyzing Capital Expenditures
Assume that you have received a capital expenditure request for $52,000 for plant equipment and that you are required to do a justification analysis using capital budgeting techniques. The company’s cost of capital is 12% and the equipment (investment) is expected to generate net cash inflows of $13,000 per year for 8 years and then $9,000 for one year.
You are to calculate and explain your quantitative calculations of each of the four capital-budgeting techniques listed, then, based upon these calculations, write a summary that provides a justification to proceed or not proceed with the project.
To complete this assignment, submit an Excel file with your time value calculations, and a two-page paper that explains the calculations and provides your recommended decision and explanation of why that decision is recommended. The paper must be submitted as a Word document and it must follow APA style guidelines
