Expenses include forty cents per client for shampoo, while services include haircuts priced at twelve dollars each. A revised or new contribution method, where barbers will receive wages of $4.00 per hour plus $6.00 per haircut. Contribution margin is revenue minus variable expenses. Meaning how much a company’s revenue will contribute to fixed expenses and net income. The contribution margin is also useful in determining a company’s break-even point (AccountingCoach.com, n.d.). At Andre’s Hair Styling haircuts are $12.00 with a shampoo expense of $ .40, while barber compensation is a fixed cost. Contribution margin per head Hair cut price – Shampoo expense $12 - $.40 = $ 11.60 per head When planning a company’s future, management must plan to predict the volume of activity, the cost incurred sales to be made, and profits to be received. An important tool to accomplish this is cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis. This simply involves computing sales level at which the company earns an income or incurs a loss, a break-even point. The CVP analysis helps to predict cost changes and sales levels affect income (Wild & Shaw, n.d.). This break-even point is all fixed cost recuperated when the company is making a profit or losing profit and actually at which point the company starts...

...Abstract This essay touches on the issue of NASA funding. It tries to persuade NASA as well as the government to increase funding for NASA’s manned space missions. It uses substantial evidence from many sources to help make its argument valid as well as persuasive. Within the essay there is a brief introduction stating the thesis for the topic followed by a background section. This section helps to better explore the topic at hand. The main body of the argument revolves around the reasons with evidence for the thesis statement with refutation. Finally, the conclusion draws everything together by restating the thesis with reasons, and helping to better answer the question of whether funding should be increased for the space program. Introduction “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!” These words of Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps onto the moon signified one of the greatest achievements of the modern world, and the American space program. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration have been responsible for many stupendous achievements not only for the U.S., but for humans abroad. As of February 2006, their mission statement has been to, “pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.” What is the ultimate goal of NASA’s work? Do all of the discoveries we make benefit the general population? Will exploring the universe and searching for life on other planets help us gain the big picture of where we...

...journal is available at http://www.emeraldinsight.com/0957-8234.htm JEA 41,1 The ethics of zero tolerance Kevin Gorman Sylvania Northview High School, Sylvania Public Schools, Sylvania, Ohio, USA, and 24 Patrick Pauken Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, USA Received May 2002 Revised September 2002 Accepted October 2002 Keywords Decision making, Ethics, Violence, Schools, Discipline, Legislation Abstract “Zero tolerance” has become the international “buzz word” of the secondary building administrator. As school violence has increased so have the legislative and regulatory policymaking mandates c a l l i n g for increased disciplinary consequences for inappropriate stud ent behavior. Ethical problem-solving and decision-making have taken a back seat to reactive discipline by school officials. Media publicity has forced proactive principals to become reactive impulsive decision-makers. In this article, Starratt’s three-part model for ethical school administration – encompassing the ethics of critique, justice, and care – is applied to a fictional scenario and the ethical dilemma that evolves. Recommendations for practice are offered in a proposed resolution of the dilemma within the context of a central conclusion: if the school administrator of the twenty- first century is to build and maintain an ethical educational setting where all students can learn, zero tolerance cannot dictate the only outcomes for inappropriate student behavior.

...WRITTEN ANALYSIS OF THE CASE No. 14 BUSINESS ETHICS Introduction Turbulent times are inevitable in any life cycle, may it be in one’s own personal life or in a business environment. Nations and governments also constantly face turbulent times and so thus any kind of relationship. A big chunk of success usually goes through a rough phase before reaching its peak. Hence, companies and individuals must be ready for turbulence and should brace themselves for rougher times. It is rare to reach success with such smooth flow and certainty. Perhaps, they just have not reached the turbulent phase in their life, but it does not mean it will not come. It just has not arrived yet. Howard Putnam is a seasoned manager who rose from the ranks. He paid his dues and his hard work was evident as he rose from 13 different jobs in a single company and eventually becoming its vice president of marketing, and then eventually becoming a CEO for another airlines. Putnam emphasized that ethics and integrity are crucial elements for any leader and organization whether in good times or in troubled times. He also offered simple yet useful insights he learned throughout his long career. * There is no finish line in ethics, only a finished line. * Integrity is 24/7. * Some play the game, other change the way the game is played. * Your ethics and integrity will determine your reputation and legacy. * Turbulent times give opportunities to grow in terms of character and reputation...

...marketing channel, they aren’t quite seeing the results they were hoping for. We think it’s time for a new approach. Has your organization ventured into social media marketing? Have you set up a Twitter account? A Facebook fan page for your offering? Or have you posted some YouTube videos? Are you brainstorming ways to add new fans? Tweeting “exclusive offers”? Shifting your staff around in order to support these new efforts? And do your social media efforts feel like an “add-on” — yet another time-intensive activity on your already overwhelming marketing task list? Our advice is to STOP. Stop and rethink your approach to social media with a new perspective. Rather than focusing on being on more sites, adding fans or getting comments, instead zero in on ideas for engagement, influence and activation — and that all-important lever, trust.

...Marijuana Legalization All across the United States there are prisons filled with men and women serving marijuana related crimes. Each one of these men and women go through the court systems, and this takes time and money away from our government. Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the world. Mainly people think of marijuana of the dirty drug out on the street, when actually marijuana has been proven to help people medically. Marijuana is a less harmful drug than alcohol and tobacco, and yet it is still illegal and millions of men and women are serving yearly sentences. A single person is yet to die from an over dose on marijuana, while millions of people die from alcohol and tobacco every year. If cannabis was legalized it would do many great things, such as create millions of new jobs. With the economy struggling right now in American this would help our country greatly. Another thing marijuana would do is eliminate the spending on preventing marijuana use in North and parts of South America. If marijuana was legal it would give our government more time to look at more important issues, instead of preventing the use and selling of cannabis. Our government could focus more on the War on Terror and prevent harsher drugs from entering the U.S. such as heroin, meth, and cocaine. Our society would completely change; marijuana would be off the streets and would be treated probably. You would see a decrease in marijuana use at a younger age because it would be more...

...Virtual Dressing Rooms: Try It On Arushi Microsoft [Pick the date] Arushi Srivastava Priyanka Singh FP Tech-II Proposal: The proposal is to study the concept of Virtual Fitting Rooms and understand the technologies involved in this concept. Introduction: Shopping for clothes online is an exercise in guesswork. Those jeans may seem perfect, but often as not, when they arrive, you try them on and they look terrible. It’s enough to keep a potential e-shopper from buying. E-fitting means "testing fit on the computer." Just as you have a fit session for a garment in real life, with a fit model and a design team, e-fit Simulator takes digital patterns and turns the pattern pieces into "virtual cloth" that can be sewn in the computer and tested on a 3D fit model, right in the software, showing you exactly how the garment is going to look before you sew a single real sample. Virtual dressing room is a relatively new concept which is slowly becoming more available on various fashion websites. Taking form in different ways, the virtual dressing room allows the at home shopper to virtually try on dresses and other fashions online. This allows the consumer to gauge if the style and the fit are an appropriate match before adding it to the virtual shopping cart of a web store. There are currently several different online virtual dressing rooms, but brick and mortar stores are also starting to use virtual technology in the physical dressing room. Technology Involved: ...
