Econ Final Project
For this second part of the final project, you will produce a macroeconomic analysis paper related to the
publicly traded company and its product or service
that you chose for your microeconomic analysis.
First, you will select three macroeconomic variables for the United States that directly impact the supply
and demand of the company’s product or service you previously selected. Second, you will analyze the
extent to which macroeconomic conditions in the United States have affected the financial performance
of your chosen company over the last three years using macroeconomic and company performance
data. Finally, you will evaluate how current monetary and/or
fiscal policies in the United States are likely
to impact your chosen company’s financial performance in the near future. This project addresses the
following course outcomes:
·
Assess how macroeconomic variables and policies impact the supply and
demand of a company’s products or services based on trends in economic data
·
Evaluate the effects of
macroeconomic variables and policies on the financial performance of companies in t
he United States
The project includes one milestone, which will be submitted in Module Eight to scaffold learning and
ensure quality final submissions. The final macroeconomic analysis paper will be submitted in Module
Ten. Part II Prompt Your macroeconomi
c analysis paper should respond to the following prompt:
Analyze the extent to which the macroeconomic environment in the United States impacts the supply
and demand of your chosen company’s product or service and assess the effects of macroeconomic
condit
ions on your company’s financial performance. Specifically, the following critical elements must
be addressed: I. Overview: Provide an overview consisting of a brief description of the chosen company,
your chosen product or service, and annual sales. II. M
acroeconomic Variables For this section, you will
utilize macroeconomic variables such as GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, and so on to relate
trends in data to the supply and demand of your product or service. Include all calculations in an Excel
file
. a) Select three macroeconomic variables in the United States that impact the supply and demand of
your chosen product or service. Justify your selections. b) Interpret the trends of the three selected
macroeconomic variables for the past three years. Be
sure to include gathered data. Based on the trends
of the three macroeconomic variables, assess how they will impact the supply and demand of your
chosen product or service. III. Macroeconomic Policies a) Describe the current monetary and fiscal
policies i
n the United States. Consider including how these policies affect your company and its products
and services. b) Predict how possible changes in monetary and/or fiscal policy may impact the supply
and demand of your product or service. IV. Macroeconomic Co
nditions and Company Performance a)
Describe the trends of two previously selected company performance variables (e.g., sales, stock pricing,
net income) over the past three years. Keep in mind these are the performance variables selected in the
microecono
mic analysis. b) Analyze the relationship between the two company performance variables
and the three selected macroeconomic variables for the past three years using a correlation graph. Be
sure to include the graph that represents the correlation. c) Asse
ss how the current monetary policy and
fiscal policy in the United States may impact your chosen company’s financial performance in the short
term (six months to one year). Justify your response. Milestones Part II Milestone: Overview and
