Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

The 100% rule is used in decision modeling to determine whether or not a change in project constraints or variables will affect the outcome of a decision. Under the 100% rule, any combination changes can occur without a change in the solution, as long as the total percentage deviation from the coordinate extremes does not exceed 100%.

Large companies are constantly making changes to projects and frequently use the 100% rule to compare simultaneous changes and how they will impact the bottom line. Now, take into account a small company with less than 50 employees, and describe how a smaller organization could benefit from utilizing the 100% rule.

• Describe how a smaller company could benefit from utilizing the 100% rule.
• In your opinion, would it be effective for smaller organizations to utilize this rule?
• Can the coefficient of a decision making variable change while the optimal point remains the same?
• Does the feasible region change?
• Can RHS value of a constraint be changed?
• Does the feasible region change?
• Can OFC values be changed?

For Fiscal Year 2008 by Region

 

Part I.

 

Calculate the following: Current ratio; long-term solvency ratio; contribution ratio; programs/ expense ratio; revenue and expense ratio for the three regions.

 

Provide a 200- to 300-word explanation of the importance of these ratios for all three regions listed above.  Include a statement of which region appears to be most financially solvent.

 

Part II.

 

        Determine BEP, variable costs and fixed costs using the traditional BEP formula: PX=A + Bx

 

1:  From this expense sheet select one of the regions to calculate.

2.  What are the fixed costs?  What are the variable costs?

3.  Information to know: riders pay $20 per round trip ride for transportation service

4.  In this exercise, the variable cost per unit (the “Bx” in the equation) will have to be determined.  About 5000 riders per year participate in this program.  Once the variable costs are determined from the worksheet, divide that number by the number of riders.

5.  How many riders will be necessary for that area of the Phoenix STS Transport Co. to break even?

REMEMBER:  SHOW ALL OF THE WORK!  ALL OF THE NUMBERS, TOTALS AND CALCULATIONS MUST BE SHOWN TO GET FULL CREDIT.  ANSWER EACH OF THE FIVE STEPS ABOVE.

 

 

Part III

 

        Create a fund develop strategy plan for the Phoenix Agency using several of the fund raising approaches described in the textbook. 

·         Begin by developing the leadership hierarchy (Executive Director, Administration and Board of Directors).

·         Would United Way Membership be sought?  What needs to be accomplished for United Way membership?

·         Describe, in great detail, what activities, events,  approaches your plan would involve.  How many people will be involved?  How will it be publicized?  What are the fundraising expenses (using the fund-raising/expense ratio)?  If the agency participates in special events, how much will the tickets cost?  Use the BEP calculations to determine BEP and ticket prices.
