economic assignment

General Information and Project Requirements As I mentioned in the class, the course project for our class is designed to be submitted in lieu of a term paper. Please read the following instruction extremely carefully and follow the guidelines exactly, in order to receive full credit. My expectation is that you work on the project diligently and present it as if you are presenting it to the upper management of your company or potential investors for your product. This will allow you to learn the art of presenting your research in a professional and presentable manner. As such, I do assign points to the elegance and clarity of your presentation. As a manager in your prestigious business, you should also carefully read this project and its instructions, as if assigned to you by the upper management of the company and be sure you understand what is being asked of you. For example, even though you are encouraged to use formulas and show your mathematical work, your final paper should NOT be a series of formulas and equation as if you are submitting a math problem. In order to get credit for the presentation, be sure to explain your math in clear and concise English language. You are allowed to work on this project with a partner. THIS IS NOT MANDATORY. If you choose a partner, you will work on the project together and submit the exact same project with both of your names as authors. Both partners must upload the same project under their own name on Blackboard. All submissions should be electronic. I don’t accept paper copies. You should submit your work on Blackboard in the form of a Microsoft Word. Please avoid sending your work in PDF, Page, or other formats, none of which will be accepted. University computers have MS Word and you should be able to convert files to Word. I DO NOT ACCEPT OTHER FORMATS. If you have any question about how to submit your project electronically, please contact me prior to the due date. Technical failure to submit your project electronically will not be accepted as reason for late or no submission. Please do NOT take a photo of your presentation and post it. Also your paper should not be hand-written as you would not make a presentation to your professional organization in your handwriting. Be sure to answer each section of the assignment clearly and in the same sequence shown in the project description. Your answers should include the Question Number and, when applicable, its section number. For example, do NOT answer section 1, after having answered section 4, and then followed by section 2! Please clearly mark each section and please don’t expect me to guess what section your answers belong to. If your answer is not placed within the pertinent and identifiable section, it will NOT receive any credit. Moreover, your answers should contain explanation of what you are doing and why. A simple yes or no answer, or simply providing the numerical answer without any explanation will not be sufficient. This is NOT a math problem and your detailed work should be shown with explanation. This means for every major calculation or formulation, you should show and explain your work. Remember, you are presenting this to the VP or other officers of your company, who may not understand technical terms and expect you to explain unfamiliar terms. Your presentation should follow APA, or other standard, formats. Information on this format can be learned from the following YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u47x2dvQHs With this introduction, please proceed to read the Project Description.
