 You’ve explored some of the fears students may have when entering college. Whether you’re starting college right after high school or going back to school later in life, you may have a variety of concerns about your new venture.

1. In a 1-2 page paper, complete the following:
   • Discuss what you know about your personal circumstances that might present some challenges in how you engage in the classroom.
     • For example, you might be an older returning student who has a full-time job and a busy schedule. This might present a problem with coming to every class session or submitting assignments on time.
     • Another example is that you might struggle with writing and realize that you will have to write several long papers in your first courses.
   • Describe at least two specific steps you can take to address these challenges, focusing on your classroom interactions. For example, you might meet with your professor to discuss the late assignment or attendance policy. Or you might seek out the school’s writing resources.
     • Be as specific as possible in your paper, citing information from your course readings to support your perspectives.
     • Draw from all of the course resources, and be creative. For example, your steps might involve reaching out socially and locating campus support centers at your school.
2. Submit your document.

Instructions

All information required for this assignment is provided in the Unit 2 Student Workbook [Excel] for this unit.

Read the Chandler Corporation [PDF] case study and complete the following requirements.

Quantitative Analysis: 

Chandler Corporation is currently producing several products, including both custom and standard designs. It has received requests for two new products: swimming pool shades and landscape trellises. It is considering whether to produce either or both of these products. Based on the projections in Exhibits 1 to 3 describing the current capacity and required capacity needs for the new products, complete the following requirements:

1. Using ABC, compute the Predetermined Overhead Rate for each activity.
2. Compute the cost of unused capacity for each activity and in total.
3. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of pool shades assuming that Chandler bases its rates on the predetermined overhead rate.
4. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of trelli, assuming that Chandler bases its rates on the predetermined overhead rate.
5. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of pool shades assuming that Chandler bases its rates on EXPECTED capacity (used capacity plus required capacity for the full demand of pool shades).
6. Compute the total and unit cost of making the full demand of trellises assuming that Chandler bases its rates on EXPECTED capacity (used capacity plus required capacity for the full demand of trellises).

Qualitative Analysis: 

In a 2-3 page report, based on your quantitative analysis, discuss the results of what your quantitative analysis means for Chandler.  When considering a decision to make the new products, would costs computed using practical capacity (c and d) or expected capacity (e and f) as the denominator provide better information to Chandler’s management? Explain your answer.  Support your recommendation with a minimum of 3 academic resources.

READ this: Please make sure prepare a 2-3 page summary 

Deliverables

• Quantitative Analysis (Excel Required): You are required to use the provided Excel workbook to complete the quantitative analysis for this assignment.

TABLE WITH INFORMATION IS ATTACHED. Thank you

The below table shows the current and potential presence of H&M Group and its related brands. The categorical value, and identifier, is represented in the “Brand” column- the purpose of this data is to identify which brand of H&M the variables are associated with. The three data points included in this table are 1) the number of brick-and-mortar store markets, 2) the number of online markets, and 3) potential expansion markets. The store and online market data sets are quantitative variables measured by the number of countries that each brand currently has a presence. The expansion/new markets data is categorical, nominal data which indicates the markets which H&M has expanded into or plans on expanding to (Sharpe at al., 2019).

A time series is an ordered sequence of quantitative variables measured at regular intervals over time whereas cross-sectional data measures several variables at the same time point but not at regular intervals (Sharpe et al., 2019). This variable set is cross-sectional because it measures multiple variables at one point in time.

The important factor in the data set is the new markets variable. This report has missing data because it does not explain the justification for opening the new stores or the decisions to open a brick-and-mortar store versus an online store. This dataset would be better analyzed with a relational database that includes store performance for each of the brands (Sharp et al., 2019). This data would provide the reasoning and justification for such choices.

Investors may find this useful because the table broadly displays the health of the various H&M brands. New Markets and store openings generally indicate growth and investors can expect that an increase in markets will correlate to an increase in sales and revenue. H&M clearly has a large physical and digital footprint that is continuing to grow. This table also indicates the addition of new brands (brands are listed in order of established date), showing that H&M is actively adapting to consumer demand.
