Assume that the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company from
Assignments 1 and 2 wants to expand and has to make some long-term capital
budgeting decisions. The company is currently facing increases in the costs of
major ingredients.
Use the Internet and Strayer databases to research government policies and
regulation.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
- Outline a plan that managers in the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food
company could follow in anticipation of raising prices when selecting pricing
strategies for making their products response to a change in price less elastic.
Provide a rationale for your response. - Examine the major effects that government policies have on production and
employment. Predict the potential effects that government policies could have on
your company. - Determine whether or not government regulation to ensure fairness in the
low-calorie, frozen microwavable food industry is needed. Cite the major reasons
for government involvement in a market economy. Provide two (2) examples of
government involvement in a similar market economy to support your
response. - Examine the major complexities that would arise under expansion via capital
projects. Propose key actions that the company could take in order to prevent or
address these complexities. - Suggest the substantive manner in which the company could create a
convergence between the interests of stockholders and managers. Indicate the
most likely impact to profitability of such a convergence. Provide two (2)
examples of instances that support your response. - Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment.
