Answer the following questions below (the discussion question and the challenge question). Grades will be based on the originality of your content, your demonstration of mastery of the textbook material, and relevance to the topic of the forum. You are expected to use proper grammar and spelling, and APA format if you are referencing outside sources. Essentially, your assignment should be a short essay (4-7 paragraphs long) that focuses on explaining the weekly topic in a highly detailed, content-based way. Your essay needs to summarize the issue, take a definitive position, and present an argument for that position based on evidence covered in the textbook. You are required to mention the counter-arguments from the reading, which means that your argument must be balanced in its approach and present/discuss the research that both supports *and argues against* your position. Additionally, you must also the challenge question at the end of your essay. Your essay should be 3-5 paragraphs in length, and your response to the challenge question should be an additional 1-2 paragraphs.
These are not merely ‘reflection essays’ where you just express your opinion about the given issue; instead you are to explain the book content, demonstrate your knowledge and mastery of that content, and provide your own original thoughts and analysis on the issue. While it is appropriate to relate the course material to your personal life, your posts should try to strike a balance between opinion and research-based evidence. If you are going to refer to an online article or any other source, you MUST provide a citation in APA format at the end of your post otherwise it will be considered plagiarism.

Please prepare a half page response for each part:

Part 1

Fixed costs do not repeatedly modify in answer to differences in sales. They are the cost of current industry structure, and will vary merely when an active choice is made to modify that. Business structure means the surroundings or environments that are necessary to be in place to produce efficiency – such as the place of work, the tools used at work, and the employees who function the business. They are an important portion of commerce; they are internal, or domestic. Some instances are rent, and the simple salaries of stable staffs. While fixed costs do modify from every period, they do not change regularly and most particularly they do not repeatedly change in answer to differences in action. Fixed costs do not change instant just because it was made a lots of sales in a month. These expenses will be continual through the highest sales months and the lowest trough months, comparing to variable costs, which typically modify with changes in sales. They are the cost of the replaceable incomes, not portion of business organization. They can be bought from outside, every day or once-a-month, in the amounts that require pleasing direct demands.

The practice of particular influences is self-determining of the fabrication measure, no matter if these efforts have been committed in the short run or is less than concern for the long run fabrication strategy. For instance, cafeteria requisites pay a yearly license fee each year to activate rightfully. The charge is a fixed cost since it does not be determined by on how many consumers are attended every year. Presume a businessperson is developing to open a cafeteria and has not until now bought any tools to operate the business, paid any fee, or engaged any agreement. In consequence, it is a long-run choice problem and the once a year authorization fee to be paid for the next year will be a long-run fixed cost. Visibly, if fixed costs are the expenses that do not differ with the amount of production made, there may effortlessly be long-run fixed costs. The report, “there are no long-run fixed costs,” has remained passed down vaguely or even wrongly in economic classes, explanation and modification are overdue. I absolutely  value my time when I price comparison shop, there is so much competition in the market nowadays, but besides price, I always look for convenience for service and quality for products.

Part 2

Fixed cost can be defined as costs that do not change with the level of output or the sales revenue. For instance, rent on a building or equipment is a good example because it remains relatively the same, at least for a considerable period of time (Myers, 2004).  On the other hand, variable costs change depending on the level of output or sales revenue.  Labor and raw materials costs are good examples of variable costs. As the output increases the cost of labor and raw materials/input materials also increases (Khan & Jain, 2007).
As a consumer taking charge of one’s own financial future, there are a wide range of lessons that one can take from these concepts. Despite the fact that the concepts of fixed and variable costs may be reasonably simple, they play a major role in the world of business. For instance, one can be able to manage his/her personal finances effectively, based on these concepts. This can be achieved by using these concepts to accumulate income through establishing a culture of saving and ensuring proper planning for reduced expenditure. It is worth noting that for one to establish a culture of saving, one has to have a clear understanding of the total expenses, which include fixed and variable costs.

Another lesson one can take from the business concepts of fixed and variable costs is the need to live within one’s means. This is because of the fact that in most cases, one’s salary is a fixed source of income that is only increased on an occasional basis. As a result, expenses like rent and interest payment on loans among other fixed costs will need to be settled from this salary on a monthly basis. On the other hand, variable costs such as monthly bills for utilities like water and electricity will also need to be settled from the same salary. As a result, one must ensure that the sum total of fixed costs and variable costs never exceed his/her salary income, at any given period.  Furthermore, to increase saving for future prosperity, one should try to minimize some variable costs to reasonable amounts and also avoid any unnecessary variable cost.
One should factor in the value of own time when pricing comparison shop since that time may be used for other constructive and economical gains.

The second portion of this assignment is the rhetorical analysis, which should be at least 400-500 words in length.  In the rhetorical analysis, you will explain how you used the five features to make the same exact place seem so very positive in one paragraph and yet so negative in the second paragraph.

The second portion of this assignment is a two step process.

1.)  Review your two paragraphs noting each of the places you used any of the tools in the Writer’s Toolbox.  Try to find at least two examples of each of the tools from the Writer’s Toolbox employed in each descriptions (except for tell sentences and direct statements of meaning, which you should have limited to only one per paragraph).  If you can’t find two examples of the other features in each of your descriptions, you’ll probably want to revise your initial description, adding more of those features.

2.)  Write your rhetorical analysis, devoting at least one paragraph to each of the tools in the Writer’s Toolbox.  You will probably want to begin each paragraph of the rhetorical analysis with a general claim.  “I used a great deal of word choice in each of my two descriptions.”  Then you’ll want to follow that claim with examples.  “For instance, in my positive paragraph, I described the sun as “gleaming,” which implies that the light was pleasantly bright.  However, in my negative paragraph, I described the sun as “glaring,” implying that the light was too bright, and in fact painful to look at.”

We will be working on this paper for the next three units.  The final draft of the paper–with all three sections described below–will be due at the end of Unit #4.

Purpose:  This paper assignment has several purposes.  As the first major paper for this class, the Point of View Essay is designed to re-engage you with the fundamentals of all good writing, including using lush sensory details to show the reader a particular place (rather than tell them about it), basic organization, clear focus, etc.  However, this unit does not function as a mere review.  The Point of View Essay will also introduce you to the concept of “thinking and seeing rhetorically, and analyzing writing rhetorically”–using the Writer’s Toolbox described in this unit to improve your writing and critical reading skills.  Finally, the Point of View Essay  allows you to reflect on this process.

The Assignment:

1. Pleasant/Unpleasant Description of the Place:  Choose a place you can observe for an extended period of time (at least 20-30 minutes). Use all of your senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, even taste if possible) to experience the place, and record all of the sensations that you experience. As you record your data, you may wish to note which details naturally seem more positive, negative, or neutral, in terms of tone. (For instance, a stinky and overflowing trash barrel swarming with flies in a nearby alley might seem more inherently negative than a little white bunny rabbit hopping playfully across the lawn.)  Then, you will use this information to help your write two descriptions of the place: one positive, one negative (at least 1-2 well-developed paragraphs or a minimum of 125-150 words each).  Both descriptions should be factually true (same real time and real place), but you will want one description to be clearly positive in terms of tone and the other to be clearly negative.  In addition to including the information and sensory details you’ve collected as the basis for these descriptions, you will also use the Writer’s Toolbox to create your two contrasting impressions for this assignment.  (The Writer’s Toolbox is explained in the Lecture Notes section of this unit.)  As you revise and refine your descriptions, please be sure you are “showing” your readers your place (really putting the readers “there” in the moment and in this scene), rather than simply “telling” them about it.  You will also want to try to eliminate unnecessary linking verbs as much as you can, incorporating verbs that show “action” whenever possible.

2. Rhetorical Analysis:  Looking back at your descriptions, analyze how you created these two very different impressions of the place (one positive, one negative) without changing any of the facts.  How did you make your place seem so positive in one paragraph and yet so negative in the other paragraph, without changing the facts?  Discuss how you incorporated each of the tools from the Writer’s Toolbox, and cite examples of this from each of your descriptions.  (This analysis should be at least 400-500 words in length.)

3. Reflection:  In one to two paragraphs, consider at least one of the following questions:  What have you learned about writing through this assignment?  How might you apply this knowledge?  Has this process of using the Writer’s Toolbox affected your vision of various information media–for instance, television and print news sources, magazines, etc.?  If so, how so?

Again, we will be working on the rhetorical analysis in Unit 3 and the Reflection in Unit 4.  For this unit, however, you will want to draft the first portion of this paper, the positive and negative descriptions of your place.

The first portion of this assignment is a three step process:

1.) Find your place.  This should be one single setting at one particular time.  Do not use multiple places.  For instance, if you want to write about your house, do not describe your entire house.  Choose one particular room, or one particular view.  Also, do not use different times.  If it’s morning in your positive paragraph, it can’t be evening in your negative paragraph.  If it’s completely sunny in your positive paragraph, it can’t be raining in your negative paragraph.

2.)  Make a sensory chart of your place, recording all of the sights, smells, sounds, sensations, and even tastes (if applicable).  Use your five senses to collect data, and be as specific as possible.

3.)  Use the data you have recorded to craft your two descriptions, incorporating the Writer’s Toolbox to shape each of your paragraphs and thus the impression of the place. Remember that in the first description your place should seem positive, while in the second description, your place should seem negative.
