If a question requires mathematical calculations, in order to meet the word count quota of 1000, after solving please explain the calculations. Apply research information from other websites or periodicals.

1. Prepare a contribution margin format income statement. China Imports, Inc., sold 18,000 units in May. Per unit selling price and variable expense were $25 and $17, respectively. Fixed expenses incurred in May totaled $120,000. Require: Prepare the May income statement for China Imports, Inc., in the contribution margin format.

2. CVP analysis Current operating income for Bay Area Cycles Co. is $70,000. Selling price per unit is $100, the contribution margin is 35% and fixed expense is $280,000. Required: Calculate Bay Area Cycles per unit variable expense and contribution margin. How many units are currently being sold.

3. Break-even analysis Refer to question number 2 for Bay Area Cycles. Required: Calculate Bay Area Cycles break-even in units and sales dollars.

Please read the articles in the files, List things important and interesting you get from the readings, and then answer the following 4 questions(about 100 words for each question).

1. If both cultural heritage and innovation are prioritized, how do we determine which deserves more funding?

2. Are there any NEA grants or any other funding available to art organizations specifically for administration, facilities, and maintenance? If not, should this be something that is prioritized by local and state art agencies or are programming and education purposes more important?

3. Is it better for Government agencies like NEA to distribute grants to arts organizations, or for wealthy donors to give money the way they and their tax accountants see fit? In other words, is it fair to expect arts nonprofits to use resources to chase donors, or should we let the Government distribute the majority of the funds and leave the organizations to focus on their mission of making better/more accessible art?

4. Is this method of changing those in charge every two years keep the distribution of funds neutral or is there a better way of making sure that the grants given are fairly distributed?

For this assignment, you will write a news story, as if for print or the internet, using information you will collect. This assignment will allow you to develop your interviewing skills.

Your leader must be an elected officer of a student organization, an appointed director or editor for a student publication, a member of student government, or a person with a similar responsible position. (If this were a real story, you would need at least three sources. But this assignment is designed mainly to give you experience conducting and writing about an interview.)

For general information, you might want to ask questions such as these:

What is your leadership position?

What is your greatest accomplishment related to your position?

What are the requirements for your position?

What traits must a person have to be successful in your position?

What do you hope to accomplish next as a leader?

What are your suggestions for someone who wants to be a leader?

What tips would you pass on to the leader who follows you in this position?

But your job is not done until you have found and written a story that is likely to interest most readers. Find out what problems (conflicts) the subject has faced, and how he or she resolved those problems. Get details by asking follow-up questions. Keep the reader captivated; don’t put the reader to sleep.

Your job is not to do a puff piece that makes someone out to be a hero, nor is it to do a hatchet job that exposes all his flaws. Your job is to tell an honest story that serves your reader.

Follow these guidelines when writing:

Your lede should reveal something that the person said or did that’s interesting or newsworthy. (Do not start by saying that the person was interviewed.)

Keep yourself entirely out of the story. Don’t use “I.” Don’t tell what the questions were unless it’s needed for clarity.

Keep your opinions entirely out of the story. Instead, give facts — detailed facts.

Don’t write in Q&A format. Instead, write a narrative with mostly your words and a few selected quotations.

Attribute everything the person said to him or her. (See the sample story in the tinted block on Page 85 of “Inside Reporting.”)

Put interesting details and narratives in your story. Don’t put the reader to sleep. Make the story so interesting that the reader can’t put it down.

Your story must:

Contain 300 to 500 words.

Use correct AP style.

Be indented and double-spaced according to the instructions you have been given.

Include at least one hyperlink. For example, you could provide a link to the website of the leader’s organization or a link to a website that the leader has found helpful in achieving his or her goals.

Week 5 assignment is going to be similar to the assignment you completed for Week 4. You will get an opportunity to build a substance-based PowerPoint presentation. You may add audio to support this presentation using Kaltura. You want to use images, videos on YouTube, if available, hyperlinks and other supportive diagram where necessary.

---

You will see in the assignment area, you will have the option of attaching the PowerPoint presentation. If you do not have access to PowerPoint, use MS Word, but you will need to address each point and add images to support your transition. You may download audacity, independent of this environment, and use it to create and upload an audio.

---

Keep in mind, the assignment will extend your knowledge beyond the lessons via research. Additionally, communication media would be the same as transmission media in respect to this assigment.

Examples of wired media would include the following:

• Twisted-pair cable is used for telephone systems and network cabling.
• Coaxial cable is often used for cable television wiring.
• Fiber-optic cable is capable of carrying significantly more data at faster speeds than wired cables.

Examples of wireless media would include the following:

• Broadcast radio distributes radio signals over long and short distances.
• Cellular radio is a form of broadcast radio used for mobile communications.
• Microwave station, which is earth-based reflective dish used for microwave communications, and it must transmit in straight line with no obstructions.

Submission Instructions: Upon completion, submit your completed presentation in this area of the classroom for grading.

Social Safety Net

In this essay we will examine social programs or lack thereof within the US along with two other countries/areas that have fundamentally different practices.

1. Pick one major social programs (education, healthcare, housing, or other) provided to citizens. Perhaps one where you believe we are doing quite well as a nation or one that maybe could use improvement.
2. Next pick two other countries and examine their systems as relates to what you examined in the US. Be sure to pick countries that are quite different than the US. Articulate each system as best you can, trying to perceive why the system is set up as such. What are some strengths? What are some weaknesses?

Whitch ever topic is esiest for you!
