Purpose of the Project:
This project is designed to illustrate the complete cost of keeping a credit card balance. Credit card abuse is by far the most destructive issue affecting people’s ability to become financially secure. If you have credit card debt, pay it off as quickly as possible. If you don’t have any credit card debt, congratulations! Don’t start accumulating it because it can be deadly.
Steps:
Print and read these instructions. Print out answer sheet. You will input your answers into this Excel sheet and then upload.
Go Bankrate.com’s The True Cost of Paying the Minimum
https://www.bankrate.com/calculators/managing-debt/minimum-payment-calculator.aspx
The site has a form where you can put in credit card information which will calculate the amount of cost associated with carrying credit card debt. The higher the interest rate and the balance the more money you will ultimately lose.
Using this “Credit Card Calculator”, calculate the amount of money that will be lost in the form of interest and opportunity costs. I have provided an example for you. Use 2% as the minimum amount to pay with no other fixed amount.

The final component of your marketing plan is a breakeven analysis report that also includes a schedule for implementation, any needed control measures, and a contingency plan.
Present your breakeven analysis in a table that includes the following details about your client:
forecasted total number of units sold (for a service industry, products could be service contracts or the number of customers served)
forecasted average unit price (AUP)
forecasted total sales (in US dollars)
forecasted average unit variable cost
forecasted fixed cost
breakeven point (units)
breakeven point (in US dollars)
Read about breakeven analysis to assist your calculations.
In addition, use the following guidelines as you develop your implementation, controls, and contingency plan:
Decide on the team that is going to implement the plan.
Determine the time frame for implementation.
Secure the financial and human resources needed.
Distribute the tasks among team members.
Periodically check and communicate performance against the marketing plan metrics (benchmarks) to ensure that implementation is on track.
Make changes if there are any deviations from the key performance indicators (KPIs) for those metrics, preferably using a dashboard. KPIs may include the number of sales calls, the number of new customers, sales, profitability, growth, etc.
Contingency plans should deal with severe deviations from productions plans, sales figures, market share, profitability, changes in government regulations (e.g., increased taxation), and drastic competitors’ moves (e.g., launching a competing product or service or an offering that may render your offering obsolete or less attractive to the market).
Deliverable: Early in Week 10 submit a report that explains your breakeven analysis. Also, include a table at the end of the report that highlights your financials. In addition, explain your schedule for implementation as well as the controls you intend to put in place and how you intend to proceed when your benchmarks are not met (contingency plan).
Three parts of this paper has to include:
Breakeven Analysis
Sales Forecast
Expense Forcast

Discussion #5: The COVID-19 Discussion Series Part II – Trade Barriers and Supply Chain Resilience
Those of us who lived through the COVID-19 pandemic will always remember how vulnerable we felt due to lack of medical care and supplies. Going forward, medical supply chains will have to make significant changes to mitigate this kind of crisis in the future.
For this final discussion forum of the course, let’s consider what adjustments medical supply chains will have to make to improve their resilience. In Chapters 14 through 26 of The New (Ab)Normal, you learned about technologies, management strategies, and geopolitical issues that will shape the supply chains of the future, including future technologies and trends that have not as yet emerged. Putting aside the content in Chapter 19, which deals directly with medical supply chains, what other technologies, strategies, or issues discussed in the latter half of the book might impact medical supply chains? For your original discussion thread post, pick one of these “topics” and provide your ideas on how that might be applied to medical supply chains. For example, pulling ideas from Chapter 21, what regulations or laws have or should be put in place to shore up the U.S. medical supply chain, in your opinion?
For your response post, discuss the pros and cons of another student’s considerations in medical supply chain resilience. Please be respectful of your colleagues and exhibit proper Netiquette with your post – see syllabus for details.
Include page numbers (where appropriate) when discussing content from the book.
