Cookie Business
In this project, you will be opening your own specialty cookie company to see how product costing methods and changes in production affect business decisions. You will be creating a series of reports and analyzing the results using the template provided to guide you through the project.
The learning objectives of this project are as follows:
Gain an understanding of product costing (direct materials, direct labor, and overhead).
Review job order costing.
Review process costing.
Make business decisions based on analyzing accounting data.
You will prepare a four- to five-page written report (including spreadsheets) with at least three scholarly sources using the Unit II Project Template . Your report will provide the following information:
Introduction
Part 1: Establish a cookie business selling only one type of specialty cookie with two employees making the cookies.
Create a name and establish a location for the business.
Construct a mission statement for the business.
Decide on the type of cookie you want to make and sell.
Part 2: Develop costing and sales information for 1,000 cookies.
Estimate and explain the cost per cookie based on job order costing (manufacturing overhead is 30% of direct labor costs). Prepare a job order cost sheet by researching and identifying the top five ingredients and their estimated costs as your direct materials. Research and identify the cost of wages for your two employees as your direct labor. It typically takes two days to make 1,000 cookies.
Estimate and explain the cost per cookie based on process costing with 40% conversion costs. Identify the top three processes you feel are needed to make the cookies and prepare a production cost sheet for one of those processes.
Estimate and explain the sales price you plan to set per cookie based on the cost data.
Part 3: Compare and contrast the costing methods used in this project, including which you believe provides the most useful information as a manager.
Part 4: Discuss what will happen to revenue if the number of the cookies sold increases or decreases.
Conclusion and Recommendations
Use the Unit II Cookie Project Spreadsheet Templates for your job order, and process costing spreadsheets to be embedded in your case study document.

What did you learn from their post that helps deepen your understanding of the application of single-subject research when working with clients?
Developing Comprehensive Treatment Plans
Throughout this course, you have studied the different types of single-subject research commonly used by behavior analysts, and explored the methods used to increase, maintain or decrease behaviors that have been identified and measured.
In this unit, the article Essential Components of Written Behavior Treatment Plans outlined the steps necessary to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Suppose behavior analysts did not apply single-subject research to the selection of interventions and the development of a comprehensive treatment plan. What are some of the issues that might arise absent the use of single-subject research when trying to attain successful outcomes for your client?
Response Guidelines
Respond to the post of a peer. Select a post that outlines some issues that are different than those you described. What did you learn from their post that helps deepen your understanding of the application of single-subject research when working with clients?
Resources
What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs?
Quite often, nurse
leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices
between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and
competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.
For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has
been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses
work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders
find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring
quality, effective, and safe patient care?
In this Discussion, you will reflect on a
national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the
development of polices to address that issue.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and think about the
national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module
1. ^^^^^ My previous discussion was on CLABSI and lack of leadership presence to promote the program and make it successfull^^^^^^
Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to
the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.
By Day 3 of Week 3
Post an explanation of how competing needs,
such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the
development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may
impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the
impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and
provide examples.

Important
notes and guidance for Assignment 1:
Please reference
correctly as you learned in module 2s Interactive Lessons.
Please demonstrate a good
understanding of the Reading materials and include Scripture in every essay you
write at SATS. In writing an assignment, you must write content that convinces
your marker of two things:
1.
1.
That you have an
in-depth and nuanced understanding of the topic. Practically, that means that
you must write such that you have demonstrated a good understanding of the
Reading materials pertaining to this assignment.
2.
That you have thought
about the Reading material in light of your independent thought and Scripture
research.
You should always
reference from all SATS sources pertaining to the topic. This module has three
required articles. You are expected to reference from all three.
For future assignments, you are encouraged to do extra research above and
beyond your interaction with SATS sources, but please dont do so at the
expense of SATS sources. For this assignment, we encourage you to rather focus
on getting both the content and technicalities right than to spend too much
time doing extra research.
For now, and for future
reference, word counts are tallied from the introduction to the conclusion,
that is, they do not include your cover page, table of contents or list of
works cited. You may always write 10% over or under the word count. This essay
is 1600 words, so you may write anything between 1440 and 1760 words.
Make sure you cover all
the content adequately. Its a common mistake for students to write a lot about
the nature of theology and about the goals and tasks of theology, but to
then relegate only a couple of sentences to the methods of theology. This
section is a bit more difficult to understand than the others, but so rich when
it comes to application. For your own understanding and development,
and since this is in the exam, we encourage you to consider how each of the
four methods apply in a ministry context when you read this. Of
course, if there are words you dont understand, look them up in a dictionary.
The materials for section
1.2 are quite long. You will not be able to discuss every task of theology
in-depth in the word count. What you can do is to pick the three tasks that
stand out to you the most and discuss them.

Essay Questions: Write the Essay in your Word Format then Copy and paste into the Discussion Forum.
Have you ever heard of someone (or yourself) acting in a way that was out of character? Could science be used to explain what might be going on? What is the relationship between what is happening in a person’s brain and their behavior? How can the field of psychology help with this?
Brain and Behavior: Use 2 Articles to support your claims.
Can biological explanations truly be used to justify abnormal or criminal behavior? Is there evidence in the literature (2 articles from library) that give examples or explain this in more detail? What are two ethical implications when making decisions about a person who has clearly committed a crime, when the science provides evidence to suggest
that they were unable to make sound judgments?
What question would you ask about human beings that could be potentially be traced back to our biology or brain? What is your argument for trying to related this to our brain or biology.

Heres what I wrote in reply to discussion form.
I remember 6 years ago when I used to live in village with my family. The name of my village is Odhan. There was a person who was older than me at that time he was approximately 23 years old. His name is arsh khokhar and he had a great personality and was very kind. Everyone in the village liked him but one day he did a horrible thing.he beat up a child of nearly 8 years old. Everyone was surprised at his behaviour and when the
childs father asked him why he did he beat the child. In response he said he couldnt control himself from doing that as he reacted the way he felt. He said he has no personal issue with the child but he just felt like beating him up. There any be many reasons behind what Arsh did. And we can understand that with the help of science as there are fields of science such as psychology which helps to understand brain. The brain receives
information and internal and external influences that enables the most appropriate behaviours to be triggered at any time. In addition our behaviour has environmental consequences which can be experienced as positive or negative for us.

CRITICAL THINKING and College Level Writing Expectations
Critical Thinking: Critical thinking involves the mental process of observation, analysis, and evaluation. Critical thinking typically involves an objective observation,
followed by an analysis of the event, which ties in class material and scholarly sources to these observations. In Social Psychology it is important to apply the multi-dimensional approach to analysis of social psychological issues.
A Well-Constructed Cohesive Argument: Your essay must have a clearly identifiable thesis statement with an argument that holds through
the essay.
Use correct punctuation
Use proper grammar
Address the appropriate audience for the assignment
Write in an appropriate voice (Ask yourself: Is the I voice okay for the assignment? Should it be geared towards a more formal audience?)
It is essential for the writer to display
critical thinking, as well as the ability to tie in class material and outside scholarly (or primary) sources to the piece. You need to provide the opposing argument to be discussed, and why this argument could be both valid and wrong. Your writing must provide evidence that you understand the material, are able to reflect upon it in a way that demonstrates this understanding, and can create an argument supporting a thesis.
Here are two articles that I have chosen.
