Assignment Details
Abilene Auto Parts, a retailer of general maintenance and after-market automotive products, desires to re-build their brand around service and availability. Traditionally, they have committed to having parts in stock for their customers 80% of the time. Use the date below to determine:

(a) Their current economic order quantity (using EOQ) [10-points]

(b) Their current re-order point (ROP) using the 80% service level [10-points]

To support the re-branding effort, the VP of marketing at Abilene has asked you to determine the incremental costs of increasing the cycle-service level to 99%. Given the information below regarding replacement headlight bulbs, determine

(c) The difference in TOTAL annual cost of the replacing the 80% policy with one calling for a 99% service level (i.e., the incremental costs asked for by the VP of marketing) [20-points]

(d) The CFO does not want this initiative to increase costs, so the VP of operations would like to know if supply chain improvements can adequately lower costs in support of the branding initiative. If, through these improvements, the average lead time could be reduced to 3 days, the standard deviation of lead time reduced to 1 day, and ordering costs to $30, by how much would this offset (or not) the difference in annual costs of a shift to a 99% service level (calculated in part c)? [60-points]

In other words, is the new scenario (99% service level, 3-day lead time, standard deviation of lead time of 1, and $30 ordering cost) more or less expensive than the baseline case (with an 80% service level)? By how much is it more or less expensive? (Note: you must provide the correct value for full credit on part d.)

Baseline Information:

average daily demand = 10 units/day (store operates 360 days/year)

standard deviation of demand = 3 units/day

average lead time = 6 days

standard deviation of lead time = 2 days

item cost to AAP = $25/unit

annual holding cost = 30% of cost of product

ordering cost = $50/order

cycle-service level = 80%

Imagine that you’re on a game show, and you’re given the choice of a mystery prize behind one of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the other two doors are goats. You pick a door, say No. 1 and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, “Do you want to stick with door No. 1 or switch to door No. 2?” What do you do? Would you stick with your original pick or switch? Would either choice give you a better chance to winning the car?

Write a paragraph that addresses the prompt.

This essay should not only take seriously the issues and themes central to this course, but also incorporate works of criticism both discussed in class and researched. The paper must focus on “freedom” in art. Art possesses a kind of freedom despite being subject to all kinds of political, social, and economic forces. What does that freedom look like beyond the claims made by a single artist? What does that freedom look like in a particular film, novel, or painting? Money, Power, and Art are the big themes here, so include stuff about that at certain points. But the main focus should be freedom in art.

There is an annotated bibliography provided under Additional Materials. This was written as the first part of this assignment. Use this to access the sources you must use for the paper. You must use all 5, as well as the 2 extra sources provided under Additional Materials called “Harvey, Brief History of Neoliberalism” and “Brown, Autonomy”. It is ESSENTIAL that the Harvey and Brown articles are included in this essay, please do not forget.

If you need any extra info at all please let me know. The 15 page limit is going to be difficult to hit, but please do it without being too obvious about stretching the essay out.

In the attachment, you will find my current progress. I have written the chapters Introduction, Literature theory, and methodology, but I ain’t happy about it at all. Since this is my final thesis passing is a must.
Therefore I would like you to rewrite parts that don’t make sense or sounds off, add paragraphs or subchapters to give some topics more depth (especially chapter 2-3), and pls support me in succeeding in this task.

I started to cite my sources but haven’t finished, this has not to be done since I am going over it in the end. But if you had any new sources I would appreciate it if you could cite them as far as possible.

I am currently working on the empiric research and recommendation, so pls ignore those chapters for now and only focus on 1-3.

If you have any questions pls do not hesitate to message me.

BACKGROUND: Intertextuality refers to the interdependent ways in which texts stand in relation to one another (as well as to the culture at large) to produce meaning. They can influence each other, be derivative of, parody, reference, quote, contrast with, build on, draw from, or even inspire each other. Knowledge does not exist in a vacuum, and neither does literature, writes Richard Norquist.

In the Broadway musical Hamilton, author Lin-Manuel Miranda fuses musical elements from a wide array of influences, quoting liberally from hip hop, rap, musical theatre, the 1960s British Invasion, Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and many more. Additionally, historical documents like the Federalist Papers, Biblical scripture and personal correspondence find their way into the musicals lyrics. While Ron Chernows biography of Alexander Hamilton may serve as biographical source material, Miranda endeavors to craft an intertextual experience as a piece of theatre, wherein the many elements he cites allow him to examine American history from a modern point of view, riddled with references to other texts, artistic movements and political points of view.

PROMPT: Using the song (THE STORY OF TONIGHT) assigned to you in our zoom class, research and examine the intertextual references, both explicit and implicit, in Mirandas writing. How does the author meld musical and historical information within this particular song? Why does he choose to reference the particular artists which inspire his lyrics and music? And, perhaps, most important, to what end does Miranda’s intertextual approach craft a message about the modern United States?

PART C- “EQUIVALENCY OF MEANING IN FORMS , THE SPECTRE OF FIDELITY , AND THE PROCESS OF ADAPTATION (4 page maximum)

BACKGROUND:
“Faithfulness to form, literary or otherwise, is illusory…The style of a literary work is its body but not its soul. And it is not impossible for the artistic soul to manifest itself through another incarnation. – Andre Bazin

In class, weve studied Bazins position that the adaptation process often necessitates changes in a narrative while maintaining an equivalence of meaning in its new form. Further, weve discussed that fidelity to source material is not a requirement in crafting a narrative to fit a different medium. Consequently, plot, structure, theme, setting, genre and other elements are subject to alteration in any adaptation.

For instance, the movie version of The Hunger Games’ opening scenes defined the play world and the audiences relationship to the film in a manner quite differently than Susan Collins first person narrative. Additionally, the film Adaptation crafted an entirely new narrative while attempting to investigate the core concept Kaufman found in The Orchid Thief.

PROMPT: Using a film adaptation derived from a novel, short story, comic book property or other source material of your choosing, detail how the film does or does not remain faithful to the work upon which it is based.

Address the following issues:

Is this a literal, traditional or radical adaptation? In what way?
Does the film attempt to retain “an equivalence in meaning,” the core essence, of the original work? In what way might the original serve as a palimpsest, laying its foundation for the new version?
Examine and detail the particulars of the mise-en-scene in the cinematic adaptation. Do the films visual and narrative constraints adhere to or expand upon the source material?
How does the film utilize the tools of the adaptation process? Specifically, in what way does this film rely upon compression, expansion, correction, updating or superimposition in comparison to the source material?
What might scholars such as Stamm, Hutcheon, Diamond, Chatman, Huwiler, McFarlane and Darwin make of your findings? Choose three scholars from that list of authors and include at least one quote from each of their works as pertains to your thesis.
Cite any research as you would in a paper- with a WORKS CITED addendum in APA or MLA format.

A Very Little Extra credit: 75 words or less

Please critically read the following article (posted on Stream) and answer/address the questions below. Note that you can also add more sources to make your answers more comprehensive (not
definitely required but a plus).
Wellalage, N.H., & Locke, S.M. (2014). Captial Structure Choice: A Case Study on New Zealand Unlisted Firms. American Journal of Finance and Accounting, 38, 93108.
1. Provide a comprehensive (and yet concise) discussion on typical facts about capital structure choices among SMEs (e.g. unlisted companies), especially in the context of New Zealand. If you can also provide an example based on the practice of your own
business (owned or employed) in your discussion, that will be a plus.

2. Comprehensively describe the concept/idea of Pecking Order Theory in explaining capital structure choices among firms, especially in the context of SMEs. Based on Table 3 of the article, does any of the findings in this study consistent with the Pecking Order Theory of capital structure? Explain your answers with specific details (You can ignore the econometrics issues around the use of GMM or the treatment of endogeneity issues
through the use of lag instrumental variables (L1 seen in Table 3))

Pretty much you can used the upload files for other sources to use to use and there are two questions to answer and whatever words count I will order then please you need to divide them in these two questions!
