PART 1Utilizing your Annotated Bibliography and Final Paper Pre-Planning assignment from Week 2 and your Outline Worksheet and Final Paper Pre-Planning assignment from Week 3(ATTACH BELOW), develop a draft of your Final Paper. Review the POL201 Assignment Guide downloadand download the POL201 Final Paper Assignment template(ATTACH BELOW)to complete the draft of your assignment. Be sure to utilize your instructor’s feedback from Weeks 2 and 3, and use APA formatting throughout your draft. Your draft should be complete with an introduction, thesis statement, full body paragraphs to support your ideas, a conclusion, and a full references list of at least eight resourcesPART 2This discussion forum allows you the opportunity to explore topics that interest you and relate to U.S. government and the political processes we are discussing. Within this forum, you will share critical insights and discuss questions and issues that we are studying, share your personal challenges and successes, and discuss any concepts that you do not completely understand that have been discussed or addressed in our materials this week. Your initial post should focus on your personal experience within the course over the past week and should prompt further discussion from your classmates. Please be sure to address the following questions:Thinking about the topic you are utilizing for your Final Paper; how do party politics impact this topic? What position do each of the major parties (Republican and Democratic) and a third party take on your topic? Expand on this idea.In addition to the questions above, also address at least one of the following questions as you reflect on the learning week.What was the most interesting and/or intriguing concept you learned about during this week?Are there any current events that you can recall that relate to the course concepts we are studying this week?What insights have you had?What concepts are causing you to struggle?What questions have arisen for you at this point?Do you have any helpful tips or ideas to help students better understand the material and course concepts?What questions do you have regarding any of the discussions or assignments that your classmates might be able to provide insight? (Please note, if you have a question for the instructor, be sure to contact them through email or in the Ask Your Instructor forum, as they may not see the question here.)

Competencies Understand economic terminology and economic definitions pertaining to decisions made by managers. Explain and demonstrate knowledge of concepts including the supply/demand relationship, price ceilings and floors, and market surpluses and shortages. Elasticity, consumer choice, utility, productivity, and nature of costs. Demonstrate how economic theory contributes to strategic managerial decision-making. Understand various market structures and impacts upon firms, consumers, and government policies. Calculate profits and profit maximization in order to determine the optimal price and output at which firms should produce. Course Scenario Oil Company X is a large oil refinery which has been expanding and taking on new investment projects. Recently, they have considered building a pipeline that stretches across the United States, from Canada to New Orleans. As a cost analyst at Oil Company X, submit a proposal to the board of the company critiquing the costs and benefits of building a new oil pipeline that stands to generate copious amounts of revenue. Include in your report the following: expected changes to supply and demand, a cost analysis of the project, the cross-price elasticity of an alternative energy source, cost curves, the new expected profit-maximizing quantity and price of oil after completion, a risk assessment evaluating liabilities from potential environmental damage, and a final recommendation. Instructions Use the Excel document below to complete the assignment, and submit it to the Drop Box when finished. Student Excel Spreadsheet As an economic analyst at your firm, you are being asked to evaluate this investment opportunity and submit a 5-page proposal as a Word document. You must include an explanation of expected changes to supply and/or demand from economic shocks such as natural disasters and recessions, as well as the anticipated effect of substitute goods (alternative energy sources) flooding the oil market. Be sure to include the expected impact on equilibrium quantity and price in your regional market from these potential changes. Another team member in the Cost Analysis Department has compiled the necessary data in the attached spreadsheet below.The total upfront cost of this project is $1.72 million in fixed costs. Be sure to include in your proposal any relevant curves graphed from the data in the spreadsheet. Your Excel spreadsheet needs to include the following columns in addition to what has been given to you: TFC TVC ATC AVC MC Assume that your firm will hold market power as a supplier of oil in your region, due to extensive trade restrictions the government has agreed to put in place after completion of the pipeline. Define the new market structure, and give new pricing strategies the firm can use to maximize profits for this particular market structure. You will also include graphs to show new expected profit-maximizing quantity and price of oil after completion. After determining the profit-maximizing price and quantity, as well as the corresponding average variable cost, determine the expected total profit for the 15-year duration the pipeline will be in operation. Be sure to also include a calculation of the cross-price elasticity of the alternative energy source and oil. Assume the current price of oil is $50/gallon of crude oil. If the price increases to the profit-maximizing price, the quantity demanded of the alternative energy source increases by 20%. Explain if these goods are complementary goods, substitute goods, or non-related goods. If there is a relationship, indicate whether the relationship is weak or strong. Justify your answer with an explanation based on the elasticity figure. Assume there is a 10% probability of the pipeline leaking, with an expected liability of $3.2 billion which will be deducted from total profit. There is a 90% probability the pipeline will not leak. Determine the expected return on this investment, as well as the variance. The firm also has an alternative investment which will yield $1.6 billion over the course of the same 15-year period, with a probability of 80%, or $1.15 billion with a probability of 20%. Calculate the expected return, as well as the variance. The risk should be expressed as the standard deviation. Perform a marginal analysis to determine if the firm should build the pipeline, considering currently available investments and opportunity costs. Format your proposal to include a title page, introduction, conclusion, and references. Include all relevant graphs, equations, and calculations. Show your work on calculations to ensure you receive partial credit for incorrect answers. No credit will be given if your work is not shown. Remember to cite your sources using correct APA format, and also use correct grammar, spelling, and formatting.
