Now with that information can you please help me with the following two questions and provide me with how you came to find this answer
5.Budget Preparation:
The Lees believe that production and sales could double after being on
Shark Tank which is scheduled in December of 20XY. They want to be prepared for this. Based
on the budgeted income statement calculated above for 20XY, with the above information can you help me with a new budgeted income for 20XZ assuming that the production and sales is double the level of 20XY.
6.
Incremental Analysis:
If production does increase dramatically after their presentation on Shark
Tank, the Lees will need more space for production. They have two options. Option 1 is to rent
out a spacious warehouse nearby. If they pursue this option, there rent will be $1200 per month
and utilities are estimated to cost an additional $350 per month. Their second option, Option 2,
is to rent a smaller storefront space that is also nearby. The storefront rent is $1350 per month.
However, utilities will likely only cost an additional $150 per month. They want to compare their
options over one year’s time (since each rental contract is a 1 year commitment). What is the
incremental analysis if the Lees choose Option 1 over Option 2
Hello,
What are the solutions to these questions previously asked on the site?
1. (20pts) Discussion Questions <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />
a. Whatis Operations Management? What is the difference between effective process andefficient process?
b. State the relationship between CorporateStrategy and Operations Strategy. Can you illustrate the above by one or twoexamples?
c. In the Littlefield simulation, the high revenue contract could notbe met with a batch size of 60 (the batch size the game is initializedwith). Explain why reducing this batchsize may help in meeting the high revenue contract. Following this reasoning, why shouldn’t thebatch size be as small as possible (so break each lot into 5 batches of 12) inthe game?

Hello,
Using below article Answer the questions at the end.
Last February, when Dick’s Sporting Goods boss Ed Stack announced he was restricting gun sales at the country’s largest sports retailer, he knew it’d be costly.
At the time, Dick’s was a major seller of firearms. Guns also drove the sale of soft goods—boots, hats, jackets. What’s more, Stack, the retailer’s chief executive officer, suspected the position could drive off some of his customers on political principle.
He was right. Dick’s estimates the policy change cost the company about $150 million in lost sales, an amount equivalent to 1.7 percent of annual revenue. Stack says it was worth it.
“The system does not work,” Stack said. “It’s important that when you know there’s something that’s not working, and it’s to the detriment of the public, you have to stand up.”
The 2018 school massacre at Parkland, Florida, touched a nerve for the company. Nikolas Cruz, the shooter, had legally purchased a shotgun from Dick’s a few months before the attack. A day after Cruz was arrested, police in Vermont apprehended a teenager with plans to shoot up his high school. He, too, had legally purchased a shotgun from Dick’s.
The two incidents were a last straw for Stack, a one-time Republican donor who in 35 years had turned his father’s bait-and-tackle shop into the country’s largest sports retailer. Two weeks after those arrests, Stack announced he was pulling assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines out of all Dick’s stores. He vowed he’d never sell another firearm to anyone under 21.
The response was predictable. The National Rifle Association criticized his “strange business model.” The National Shooting Sports Foundation expelled Dick’s from its membership. Gun manufacturers like Mossberg refused to do business with him at all, and some shoppers followed suit.
Some people applauded the CEO’s decision and promised to show their appreciation with their business—a phenomenon called “buycotting”—but those people didn’t stick around. “Love is fleeting. Hate is forever,” Stack said.
What happened at Dick’s confirms new study results out of Stanford University. Respondents said they were more likely to buy a product to support a CEO’s political stance than they were to boycott in disagreement, but their actions revealed the opposite. When asked for specific examples, 69 percent could name a product they’d stopped buying, and only 21 percent could recall a product they started buying.
The stock price hasn’t suffered. Dick’s shares, which didn’t move much following the announcement last February, have climbed 14 percent in the 13 months since, outpacing the 4 percent rise in the benchmark Russell 3000 Index. On Friday, the company’s shares rose as much as 0.6 percent in New York.
The 64-year-old Stack is an unlikely champion of gun reform. Earlier this decade, he helped Dick’s double-down on its outdoor roots, buying licensing rights to “Field & Stream” and launching both a private brand and a new series of stores dedicated partially to hunting. He’s a gun owner himself and insists he’s not anti-firearm, just in favor of what he likes to call “common-sense gun reform.”
No longer a go-to store for many gun-owners and hunters, Dick’s is now navigating its new reality. In August, the company announced it would remove hunting supplies and equipment entirely from 10 stores and use the space for team sports like baseball. Sales jumped in the test stores, and the company will implement the change in 125 additional stores, about 17 percent of the total fleet. After a dip in the last 12 months, the company expects same-store sales to be flat or rise a little.
Then there’s Field & Stream. The outdoor label, which includes kayaks, camo jackets and sleeping bags, is the company’s top-selling private brand. Stack acknowledged that the gun decision has hurt Field & Stream sales and that the company faces a potentially larger decision about its 35 Field & Stream stores, located mostly in the south and Northeast.
“Can they shift it to play more towards active outdoors versus bloodsport,” said Sam Poser, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group. “They’re big spaces, and the majority of those leases are long-term. They’ll have some decisions to make, and I think they can figure it out.”
To be fair, guns were a shrinking part of Dick’s business before Stack changed the company policy. And annual firearm sales nationwide have dropped almost 17 percent since 2016, according to research firm Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting. Parts of Dick’s policy have been matched by others, including Walmart and Kroger-owned Fred Meyer, neither of which faced similar outcry or anger.
Stack’s not finished, though. For almost a year, Dick’s has been working with Glover Park Group to lobby for gun reform. Last month, Stack was one of just four CEOs to sign a letter supporting a universal gun control bill that recently passed in the house, and he recently joined the business councilof Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit that advocates for gun control. (Everytown was founded by Michael Bloomberg, owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.)

Hello, This is my course assignment. who can do this one ? I don’t want it perfect.SociologyIn Larry Bumpass’ Presidential Address to the Population Association of America (PAA), he documented sweeping changes in the family over the past five decades, including the rise in divorce, remarriage, non-marital childbearing, and cohabitation, and the decline in fertility and the proportion of the life span spent in marriage. Bumpass argued “there is no reason to think that … [these changes] are likely to reverse.” Consequently, he recommends that social policies focus on the “amelioration of the negative consequences, rather than …attempts to reverse the tide.” Please choose one major change in family structure that has occurred over the past five decades (such as increases in non-marital childbearing, divorce, cohabitation, single living, etc) in the United States. Then answer the following three questions regarding that change. Your written assignment, in total, should be no more than three pages, double-spaced. 1. Provide a brief historical overview of this pattern. You can find trend data on most family behaviors at http://www.census.gov. You should document patterns of change (or continuity) over the past five decades. 2. Provide your own predictions about whether and how the pattern you’ve described will change over the next fifty years. In your argument, please be sure to consider at least three of the following forces of social change: birth cohorts, the composition of the United States population, technology, legal changes, economic forces, and normative/cultural influences. 3. What public policy recommendations would you make, to either: (a) “reverse the tide” of the pattern you’ve documented; or (b) “ameliorate the negative consequences” of the patterns you’ve documented, or (c) simply facilitate the experiences of those individuals (and families) who experience the behavior you’ve documented?
