Cost Analysis

Assuming that the company’s goal is to maximize profits, the current cost system is not an appropriate tool for strategic planning. The ambiguity of the overhead costs per product makes it difficult to accurately analyze the cause and effect relationships of changes and/or improvements to specific product line.

Along with the Benefit Measurement Method, Constrained optimization method can also be used which involves mathematical approach. Since this method involves the mathematical approach, several calculations are performed in order to take a decision to accept or reject the project. “Mathematical models, also known as Constrained Optimization Methods, are a category of project selection methods, which is a tool and technique of the Develop Project Charter process” (PMP, 2008). Cost-benefit analysis is one of the methods which fall into this category. All the positives and negatives of the project are taken into consideration and then the negatives are carefully excluded from the benefits. Different results are produced for the different projects. The most worthy and financially rewarding option are selected from these results. When employing this method, there are many things that are to be considered such as the impact of the decision on the development of the organization in the future, the length of time the equipment lasts and whether it is possible to do the cost control during the project.

The AHRQ organization has several portfolios’ that are funded and supports research projects. Such portfolios are information technology, health patient safety, prevention and care management, and value portfolios. Within these portfolio’s, grants are there to fund new projects that relate to each category. Within each portfolio, research has been started and effectiveness of these projects is underway. Some clinical research projects are a set of priority conditions of importance to the Medicaid, Medicare, and SCHIP programs. Projected initiatives are to improve quality of care. The Value portfolio finds ways to reduce unnecessary cost and waste while maintaining or improving quality without adding cost which is a critical, national need (2012, p.5).

Presently, cost and quality in health care are both indicators that are benchmarked in determining best healthcare practice. Two organizations both work towards meeting these objectives in healthcare, The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a public agency and the Commonwealth Fund, a private agency.

Various terms are used to describe costs. Having an understanding of these terms will provide a better insight to managers and companies on making budget decisions, efficiently. Not only the ones described above should be considered, but also all types of costs related to the decision in effect. Efficient managers will considered all aspects related to the analyses in question.

Everywhere around the nation redundant federal programs are leading to billions of dollars in waste, and the government somehow, is slow to adopt reforms to fix the situation. The White House needs to recognize and be aware of the problem to propose an elimination of redundant programs in the Federal, State, and local Government.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are over 400 electrocutions in the United States each year, and of those about 100 are children. In 2011, an estimated 21,300 reported U.S. non-confined home structure fires involving electrical distribution or lighting equipment resulted in 295 civilian deaths, 840 civilian injuries, and $822 million in direct property damage. These numbers are very alarming as no child nor home deserve to be harmed, especially from a cause that can be prevented. These statistics and our desire to eliminate electrical problems as a whole is what drove us to developing our product, Socket Stop.

Sports is one of the largest recreational activities in canada, with over 2 million kids aged 5 to 14, took part in sports. However, our government has decreased its funding over sports. From 2014 to 2015, 201.98 million dollars were funded but from 2015 to 2016, only 196.78 milion dollars were funded on sports. Moreover, sports participation of kids is declining. Boys now are less likely to regularly participate in sports than they were back in 1992 and those who do compete are involved in fewer sports. The decline rate will continue unless our government promotes sports heavily, through schools and community sport programs. Our governent should dedicate more money on these programs because sports are mainly promoted by such means, sports have heath benefits and sports make us smarter.

In pursuing my professional goal (what goal?) as one of the minority nurse educators and scholars specialized in curriculum and instruction, I enrolled in one of the excellent doctoral programs at the University of Arkansas. I have completed my course work and passed my comprehensive examination in fall 2015. Coming from a low-income Asian immigrant family and being the first in my family to attend and graduate from college and without debt, my family, friends, dissertation committee, and employer have been providing moral support for me to complete my doctoral program. My friends, colleagues, and supervisors attest my diligent and commitment in my achieving my professional goal. However, I have encountered financial challenges in completing

I found out about RSI while I was browsing the internet, looking for ways to spend my summer before senior year. In contemplating my future summer, I realized that RSI provides the perfect opportunity for me to get involved in high-caliber research while maintaining a rigorous, yet rewarding schedule. However, the university’s hallowed halls are not responsible for its essence; rather, the nature of the program is a product of the membership of its student body. During this free six-week immersion, I would have the honor of working alongside exceptional academic staff and like-minded peers – talented and creative students who accept risks and take initiative, all self-driven and focused on making the world a better place. Through RSI, I would

It is hard to believe that my year of service is soon coming to an end, it seems not too long ago I was reviewing my VAD and wondering how I was going to be able to complete with success the task outlined. The thought of it all was overwhelming yet a welcomed challenge as I knew the outcome would be playing a part in increased food security for families who depend on both food pantries I am serving at as well as continued sustainability for the pantries.

Of course we can express our opinions but we have to recognize that those opinions are ignorant to the context of said culture. However, since human rights are universal that implies a shared understanding of the duty of care and entitlements of people by virtue of being human. Young girls cannot give consent for the practice or perform an appropriate cost/benefit analysis for future risks as it relates to medical issues and cultural acceptance. The UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is a legally blinding treaty that protects children’s rights internationally, and this may fall under that protection.

Scenario; support the reasons for recommending and accepting the financial implications of Project A over the superiors choice for Project B.

The purpose of this paper is to answer a few important questions: Why do companies allocate costs? How do companies allocate costs? And how this cost allocation can affect the decision making of the company. It is important for the companies to find the proper method to allocate the costs. Cost allocation is an important issue in many companies because many of the costs associated with designing, producing and distributing products and services are not easily identified with the products and services that are created.
