Assume you are creating a Lego kit to resell. Also, assume that you are presenting this project to the Vice President of Product
and Marketing Development and the Vice President of Sales who requires a two page – back and front – deliverable. This
deliverable is worth 60% and the actual creation is worth 40%. Your deliverable should be a handout which will allow the VPs to
determine if the company wishes to invest in the product and sell the item in the company.
When determining the cost of the product, assume the following costs for the Lego bricks in determining the cost of your
creation:
Costing: Direct Materials Cost: Lego Plates: 5 cents each (these are the flat Lego pieces); Lego Bricks: 8 cents each; Lego Special
Pieces: 10 cents each (if the piece is not a plate or a normal Lego brick, it should be classified as a special piece
Direct Labor Cost: Direct labor costs are recorded at 60% of your total direct materials cost.
Manufacturing Overhead Cost: Manufacturing overhead costs are recorded at 45% of your direct labor cost.
Required: You should create a two-page deliverable in a professional manner that provides information about your
creation. Your deliverable will be judged on creativity and the informational content of the report You will be judged on the information you present about the creation you have built. At a minimum, your report should contain the following:
· A unique name for your creation along with the selling price of your Lego Kit. Make sure you use creativity in choosing the name of your creation. Explain why you have chosen this name.
· Clearly state the selling price you have set for your creation. Comment on the reasonableness of the selling price of your creation and explain how you calculated the selling price.
· A discussion of the types of costs associated with manufacturing the Legos for your creation. This does not include the dollar amount of costs, just the TYPES/DESCRIPTION of costs. Think through the manufacturing process and include all of the types of costs that you can identify that would be used in this manufacturing process – minimum ten different, unique types of costs. (Think about obvious types of items used in any manufacturing process.)
You MUST INCLUDE a flowchart depicting the manufacturing process WITH EACH STEP LABELED CLEARLY.
Instead of a flowchart, you could use another interesting approach for presenting the information in a diagram form.
Diagram in as much detail as you can, the process for your Lego creation from start to finish (finish being when you sell the product.
· Include in your written deliverable at least one picture of your creation in addition to the picture on the cover sheet.
· For distance students, Lego projects will be completed using the Lego Digital Designer 4.3 on Lego.com or using your own Legos. The Lego project will be an individual project for distance students. On campus students may not use the Lego Digital Designer. Distance students should include ONE ADDITIONAL PAGE THAT HAS ONLY A PICTURE OF THEIR CREATION ON IT AND THE NAME OF THE CREATION.
· Summarize all costs of production in a Production Cost Sheet format. You should show number of pieces in detail and show totals for all parts of the production process. Include your computation of selling price in this section as well. Make sure that this section is clearly presented.
– Selling Price Breakdown
– Production Process
– Production Cost
– Direct Materials= Cost of Material for brick, =Cost of Packaging, =Cost of paint for brick
– Direct Labor= Labor Cost for production of brick, = Labor Cost to paint brick specific color, = Labor Cost for packaging and checking for defects
– Overhead Cost= Depreciation on painting and manufacturing, = Factory utility expenses, = Indirect Materials needed to paint bricks, =Indirect Materials needed for package lego kit

Business Intelligence Research Project
You are team of IT professionals working at a Business Intelligence (BI) firm. I am the chief administrator (CEO, President, Chancellor, Chairman of the board, Big-Boss, etc.) of an organization that has contracted you to provide us with a presentation on the benefits that a business intelligence solution could have for our organization. Our organization has provided you with access to one or more of our databases to aid in the identification of potential benefits. In addition to providing a presentation on the general benefits of business intelligence and proposing a business intelligence solution (BI software tool), you will also need to identify one key problem that your team has already identified as one that you propose that business intelligence can solve and then solve it for them using your recommended BI tool. You should also provide at least one example of the type of information (in the form of a visualization) that your business intelligence solution can provide.
You can choose or make up any organization that you like as the organization that I head and to which you will be presenting.
Choose at least one dataset as that which was provided to you by my organization. You may use or create any data you like, but here are some resources that may be helpful to you in locating a dataset. The dataset should actually be relevant to my organization (or vice-versa).
https://sqlbelle.com/2015/01/16/data-sets-for-bianalyticsvisualization-projects/
https://www.springboard.com/blog/free-public-data-sets-data-science-project/
https://r-dir.com/reference/datasets.html
You will also need to select a BI-based software tool that your team will use for the analysis. Many BI-tools are available in a trial version (though some may take you longer than we have to activate). Others are open source and can be used for no cost. Still others, you can use for less than $20.
Your paper/presentation should include the following components:
· A general explanation of what business intelligence is
· The type(s) of data in your data set
· How the data is housed and any proposals for potentially consolidating it
· How the data was, or will need to be prepared
· The BI-based software tool your team is proposing to use including features it offers (dashboard, “What if” analysis, interactive reports, etc.)
· How your chosen BI-based software tool differs from its competitors and why you chose it
· A model used in your analysis of our data
· At least one visualization that aids your research
You will need to back up your claims with source material, at least half of which should be scholarly.
You should prepare both a paper (use Microsoft Word for the paper) and a presentation (you may use PowerPoint, Slides, Presi, Flash, etc. for the presentation). Try to keep your paper under 20 pages in total. We only have the residency to work on it, so if you set out to “cure cancer” all in one paper, you will not finish before the deadline. For the presentation, use however many slides you need to stay within the allotted time for your oral presentation (varies widely depending on presentation style).
Your paper should be formatted using APA guidelines 7th Edition and should contain the following sections:
· Title Page
· Abstract
· Table of Contents (Use the auto-generation features in Microsoft Word for the TOC)
· Main Body
o Introduction
§ Problem Statement
· Research Question
o Literature Review
o Methodology
o Findings
o Conclusion
· References
Your presentation file can be organized any way you like; however, you are still required to use APA guidelines with regard to in-text citations and a references page.
submission was plagiarized. Depending on the SafeAssign score, there may be some issues of plagiarism that will need to be addressed to prevent your group from receiving a failing grade.

    Example-Pleaseuseitforrefferenceonly.docx
For part 3 of the Unit 3 Exam, choose ONLY 1 essay question from the list below. Grades will be based on the content of the answer and must be more than 300 words in length. Direct quotes do not count toward the required word count.

Part 3 Essay Questions:

1 – Evaluate Harry Truman’s domestic policies. Which parts reflected the New Deal? Why were they so difficult to implement? How did they expand freedom for Americans? How did they restrict freedom?
2 – Fully discuss and examine the limitations placed on freedom during the Cold War. Then compare those circumstances with those during the Red Scare after World War I. What was the same? What was different? Were restrictions on civil liberties justified in both cases? Why, or why not? How did Americans react in each era?
3 – How did the States Rights’ Democratic Party and the Progressive Party reflect America in the Cold War? Were both parties justified in their definitions of American freedom? Why, or why not? Explain.
4 – Discuss the changes in the American economy during the postwar period. Be sure to discuss the agricultural, industrial, and consumer sectors of the economy.
5 – The Nixon-Khrushchev debate held in the setting of a suburban kitchen illustrated how freedom in America had come to mean economic abundance and consumer choices during the 1950s. How is this new conception of freedom a departure from Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms”?
6 – House Beautiful magazine stated that the country’s most powerful weapon in the Cold War was “the freedom offered by washing machines and dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, automobiles, and refrigerators.” Analyze this statement, explaining how consumerism was used in the 1950s to combat the Cold War. Is consumerism used today as a tool of American foreign policy?
7 – Describe the impact of suburbanization on American women. How did expectations surrounding “the American way of life” affect the lives of women? How were their varied experiences similar? How were they different? Explain.
8 – American foreign policies in Third World countries were determined by Cold War doctrine. Explain American foreign policy in the Third World during the Eisenhower administration. Be sure to discuss Iran, Guatemala, and Vietnam.
9 – The civil rights movement gained momentum in the 1950s, nearly ninety years after Reconstruction. Explain why the movement finally took off in the 1950s. What caused it to do so? Be sure to think back to previous chapters.
10 – Discuss the generational tensions that emerged during the 1950s. How did popular culture reflect a growing sense of discontent among younger Americans? What was the response of older Americans to this trend? Explain.
