To Do Make sure to revise your Research Objectives to be specific enough (must be written by you) so that you can do the Data Analysis and Business Recommendations. See Sample Research Report. Sources: Must have 2-4 or more foreign sources and 3-5 or more Canadian sources, maximum 1-2 journal articles. APA: In-text citations and References must match. Number References. Content: 3 graphs (made by you in Excel) must have sufficient information: Question/Theme at the top and Title (including method) at the bottom. Data in research objective must match Data Analysis. Purpose in research objective must match Business Recommendation. Common purposes are marketing campaign, pricing strategy, distribution plan, product adaptation, promotional strategy, etc. Your research objectives must come from your sources, not taken from the sample. Writing: Single-spaced. Do not change key words in sources. Use "Ctrl+A" to ensure consistency in font and format. Please note: There will be no re-do/re-submission after the due date. Make sure you have the required sources, APA, content and writing. Avoid copy/paste or any writing that is not yours. Avoid putting in References sources you did not use, webpages without content, or sources that are not real. Example name Sample Report is how it is supposed to be done and above is the specific instructions to be followed for sample report. Some background info, I had two work done here on my topic " Corey Nutrition Company #Exporting pet foods to Jamaica". I will have them attach so to get a clear example of where we are going. Research Proposal and Intelligence report for my research proposal. Topic link-(also attached) :https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/stories-histoires/2019/CPTPP-corey.aspx?lang=eng Need to make 10-12 pages single spaced excluding references

Assignment #1 This assignment relates to the following Course Learning Requirements: CLR1: Define economics and explain the basic principles of economics Objective of Assignment: The objective of this assignment is to measure your understanding of the role of scarce resources and unlimited wants in economics, your ability to apply the concept of opportunity cost to real world situations, and your ability to construct and use the Production Possibilities Curve model to illustrate economic choice. Pre-Assignment Instructions: Complete up-to and including module two, including assigned readings and work. Assignment Tasks: 1) Production Possibilities Curve Consider a bakery that produces two baked goods, muffins and bread loafs. Draw your own a production possibilities curve for the two products. The drawing can be either digitally created or an uploaded picture of a hand drawn curve (in either scenario, ensure the information is legible and clear)/nAssignment Tasks: 1) Production Possibilities Curve Consider a bakery that produces two baked goods, muffins and bread loafs.

1. Consider the utility function where the parameters and all the 3 are positive. For simplicity, ignore the case = = 1. a. Given the vector of prices p = (p₁.....PN), define U(.....) = 1/4-21-1/4" P(p) can be written as for n = 1,..., N. = min (EN) c. Determine V(p.x). (i) Set up the Lagrangian. Write down the first-order conditions and use the constraint U (₁,...,CN) = 1 to simplify these conditions to p = µ(3/₂)¹/, for n = 1,..., N, where is a positive Lagrange multiplier. (ii) Determine the consumption choices (c₁,..., CN) that solve (1). (iii) Verify that V(p, x) = n=1 N {Σ P.C. : U(C... (x) ≥ 1}. P(p) = b.

All questions are equally weighted (50 marks and 1000 words for each question) The total word count is 2000 words (+/- 10%); equally distributed among all the questions, i.e., 1000 words for each question. Where the question has a sub-part, the division of marks and words is equal. The limits as stated include quotations in the text, but do not include the title page, bibliography, footnotes/endnotes, appendices, abstracts, maps, illustrations, transcriptions of linguistic data, or tabulations of numerical or linguistic data and their captions. Referencing is required and should follow the APA citation style. Followed by details of materials that can be accessed during examination (if appropriate), e.g.: Examination handout: Table of Physical Constants Question 1 You are the head of the international business division of a large and successful American automotive multinational. The company specializes in the production of cars- both traditional and electric. The CEO of your company informs you that the top management is considering a market-seeking foreign direct investment (FDI) in India. You are asked to (a) assess the opportunities and challenges that the formal and informal institutions in India could present to the company over the next five years (i.e., 2024-2028); and (b) identify the changes that the company needs to make in its products (cars) and services (pre- and after-sales services) to be successful in the Indian market. Question 2 It is a common business practice for multinationals in developed countries to relocate labour-intensive production to low-cost emerging economies. While this type of foreign direct investment (FDI) promotes economic growth and improves employment opportunities and living standards, it can also be associated with the exploitation of workers and environmental degradation in the host countries (i.e., emerging markets). In addition, the relocation of production from developed markets can have a negative impact on employment and investment in the home country. Critically debate how you would defend your arguments for and against this type of FDI if you are (1) the CEO of a developed country MNE that is moving production to a low-cost emerging market; (2) the leader of the labour union in the home country of the MNE that has cut many jobs because of the production move; and (3) the leader of an environmental NGO in the low-cost emerging market where MNE has invested.
