The paper should be an application of what we’ve learned in this class applied to a business problem. If you have a business or if you have business experience this may provide you with an advantage as you write your paper. Be very selective as you write. I am looking for a single, well-defined, and articulated economic problem or issue. The use of economic theory to outline or categorize the problem is required. Finally, some form of analysis must be used to solve this problem, or outline of how to solve this problem. The professor is extremely specific in relation to grammar and format.

Please see the attached document titled WK3DisInstructions. I have also provided
attachments to include as references to complete the assignment.

Identify a merchandising business which with you are familiar or one you read about. The business should be substantial enough to make its financial statements available. Ideally, it should have existing information about its impact in the community, corporate social responsibility, or a related positive presence outside of its regular business activities.

  • Analyze the selected merchandising business’ sources of revenue and explain how those are determined
  • Contrast variable costs with fixed costs and provides examples of each.
  • Evaluate how a performance report that uses break-even, contribution margin, and variance analysis would provide useful information to managers in this organization
  • Evaluate how this company could contribute to positive social change in a new and innovative way
