Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 9, 10 and 11 from your textbook, Principles of microeconomics and How to Calculate Total Cost, Marginal Cost, Average Variable Cost, and ATCLinks to an external site.. A firm operating in perfect competition has no influence over market price. It can sell any amount at the market-clearing price. The only one major decision to make then is about what quantity should be produced. When it decides the quantity to produce, then this quantity—along with the prices prevailing in the market for output and inputs—will determine the firm’s total revenue, total costs, and ultimately, level of profits. For the Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition Assignment, you will submit an MS Excel spreadsheet and a paper (word document) in Waypoint. In the Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition Template Download Costs and Revenue in Perfect Competition Template(MS Excel), fill in the missing values in the given table. Make sure to use the "formula" feature. (The numbers in the table change. So, if you don't use the "formula", your answers will be incorrect because of the changing numbers.) Please refer Excel Formulas and Functions TutorialLinks to an external site. for guidance. Calculate marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average fixed cost (AFC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC). Graph all the cost curves and the MR curve. Find the profit-maximizing price and output. Calculate the profit (or loss). In your paper, based on the readings for the week and your calculations in the worksheet, answer the following question: Explain if the firm should remain open or temporarily shut down when the price drops to $10. Discuss why firms in perfectly and monopolistically competitive markets stay in business despite having zero economic profit in the long run.

My topic is Air Pollution in Richmond Virginia. Some sources for this topic: Virginia Department of Environmental Quality The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is the state agency in charge of monitoring and regulating air quality. The Air Programs division handles different parts of air pollution control, including tracking air quality, enforcing regulations, and supporting efforts to improve air cleanliness. This website will be useful for analyzing past reports on particulate pollution and the state’s current initiatives to help reduce air pollution. Plan | Richmond (rva.gov) RVAgreen 2050 action and resilience planning initiative was formed and how its goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are being impacted by climate change (RVAgreen 2050: Climate Equity Action Plan 2030 2024). This website goes over the entire process, discusses actions that could reduce community vulnerability to impacts of climate change, and makes assessments and solutions for residents such as those below the poverty line who are more likely to be affected To help you complete your final project/presentation, you will submit an outline to organize your thoughts and main points. Your outline should be formatted in the specified way as described below. (This is a wonderful skill to add to your toolbox!). The information in your outline will contain the work you have already done in weeks 1-4 but expanded to include specific information from your sources on your environmental issue. Use this example outline as a guideline which includes details on required information - SCIN140 Project Outline.pdf Be sure to add your name, course number, and title at the top of the page. The Outline Format: Your outline must be formatted as described and exemplified in the example linked above - an alphanumeric outline created with MS Word and saved as a .pdf, .doc or .docx file type only. Please note other formats cannot be read by the system and will not be accepted. Use an alphanumeric sequence Sections should be indented and aligned Follow the suggested order of the required topics/subtopics Use brief but detailed and descriptive phrase (no full paragraphs, rather be very concise) Title should be informative and reflect your chosen topic Please make note of the following general tips and tricks for your Outline: I understand that this is a rough draft and, as your research and writing continue over the next few weeks, details may be added or changed. Although you do not have to resubmit it to me, I recommend that you update this outline to help you best complete the final presentation. Write your outline so that it has detailed and descriptive phrases in bulleted format. It should not be in paragraph form, rather be concise.

Instructions Written assignment Practicalities: This individual essay assignment is worth 20% of the final grade. It is due on November 14th, 2024. The assignment should be submitted electronically through Nexus. Your paper should be a word document (Microsoft word or PDF), 1.5 spaced, in 12-point type, Times New Roman or Arial font, and no more than 3 pages (excluding references). A penalty for late submissions will be 5% per day, including weekends and holidays. Please name your submitted file on Nexus using your last name followed by your student ID, separated by an underscore (e.g., Desforges_12345678.doc). Your submitted document must also contain a title page with relevant information (title, name, student ID, course number, instructor name, etc.) and references, which do not count toward to page limit. Assignment details: Your assignment is to write an original research report on the dominant threats facing a Canadian endangered/threatened species of your choosing. You will select a Canadian species listed under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) as special concern, threatened or endangered (plant or animal). Relevant references to find species include the SARA site (https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/species-risk-public-registry.html) and associated COSEWIC assessment reports. The purpose of this assignment is to critically evaluate the dominant threats facing your chosen species and relate those threats to species-specific traits using peer-reviewed scientific literature. Your report will be structured into three separate sections that should be clearly delineated. Species information Describe your species and the specific population you selected Describe relevant life history traits Dominant threats Describe the dominant threats facing your species/population in rank order (most important to least important) How do these threats directly affect your species? Risk mitigation What mitigation/management strategies can be/have been used to protect your species? Have they worked? References: An important purpose of this assignment is to get you familiar with library services and reading primary peer-reviewed literature. For this reason, you are required to include at least five peer-reviewed scholarly articles in your research paper. You are not to use informal blogs, newsletters, or other similar sources. Other acceptable sources include websites for government agencies or professional organizations, but these do not count towards the five peer reviewed articles. It is important that you properly reference all facts, data, and opinions that are not your own; if not done correctly you may committing plagiarism. Please see the lecture slides I provided on Nexus for further clarification on how to properly cite and reference articles in your report. For assistance in finding peer-reviewed articles and other aspects of library research, see: http://libguides.uwinnipeg.ca/c.php?g=124963&p=817304. You can also meet with librarians to help navigate the university website for searching articles.
