I’m working on a finance discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Part 1

Appraise how the statement reflects the FOMC’s views on the economy and provides a justification for its monetary policy decisions. Minimum of 200 words and one source.

Part 2

Opponents of quantitative easing see it as a new approach to monetary policy that risks significantly increasing inflation without effectively stimulating economic growth. Some of these opponents see the policy as monetizing the national debt. Supporters of quantitative easing argue that it is an extension of the traditional use of open market operations that the Fed routinely uses to stimulate the economy when it is perceived to be too weak. Select one of the quantitative easing arguments and support your position using specific examples. 

Cover one of the following topics: strategies for increasing market share and/or profits, business mergers and acquisitions, government regulations on businesses, or business ethics.

the paper will be an analysis of a feature length (no less than 800 words) article in a major magazine or newspaper such as Business Week, Economist, Forbes, Newsweek, The National Review,Time or in a major newspaper such as the New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer,The Wall Street Journal,The Washington Post and similar sources. The article must be recent and have appeared in print within the last three months. You may not analyze a blog.

the paper will have two parts:

(a) A brief summary of the article and how the topic of the article relates to course material. (150-200 words)

(b) Critical reaction: React critically to the treatment given in the article to the concept or issue. Give evidence of having reflected on what you have read. Specifically identify assumptions and assertions made by the author. Are those assumptions valid? What and how reliable is the evidence used by the author to draw his/her conclusions? In other words, is the position of the author appropriately documented with evidence? Are there errors in methodology? Could you suggest a way in which the author’s presentation or argument might have been enhanced? (about 600words)

Step One: Gather Information

Read the two short articles below to understand two sides to the outsourcing argument. Take notes, as the articles may present information you might want to reference in your assessment.

The Cost of American Outsourcing

---

When you look at most of your electronics, clothing, and other housewares, there’s a good chance that somewhere on it you’ll find “Made In China” or “Made in Vietnam.” It’s less likely, however, to find something that’s marked “Made in the USA.” Why? Simply put, outsourcing jobs overseas is cheaper.

For large corporations looking to grow their industry and sell goods cheaper and faster, outsourced labor is the answer. Labor overseas can be anywhere from five to 20 percent of what it costs in the States—which is a huge cost savings. But what does that mean for American jobs?

Recent statistics show that over two million jobs were outsourced in 2013, with the bulk of them going to China and India. With American employment at a low, it’s easy to argue that those two million jobs would have been better kept for American workers.

Industries such as manufacturing, IT services, distribution, research and development, and call centers are commonly outsourced to different countries. Slowly but surely, many factories around the U.S. have, and will continue to close due to outsourcing. One instance includes Whirlpool, who shut down its Evansville, Indiana factory in 2010, after 54 years, to move its refrigerator assembly operation to Mexico. This resulted in the loss of 1,200 local jobs.

For the workers at Whirlpool, and many like them around the U.S., losing their jobs due to outsourcing was disruptive. Not only had these workers been with the companies for several years, but in most cases, it was all they had ever done. Closures due to outsourcing leave these workers, many of which had plans to retire with the company, to look for new jobs. This becomes increasingly difficult, as the jobs they are qualified to do are disappearing, all going overseas.

While outsourcing may be a great, cost-effective option for corporations, it does severely impact those Americans whose jobs were cut as a result.

America’s Future With Outsourcing

---

Coffee from Brazil. Cars from Japan. Wine from France. Certain goods from around the world have become known for their quality. While we want to continually support the American economy, sometimes what we want is manufactured elsewhere. But that is not a bad thing.

The notion that in order to support our country’s economy, we must only produce and buy within it is far from the truth. Take Brazilian coffee, for example. Many people may say coffee beans from Brazil are much more flavorful, and their harvesting practices produce the best product. While the United States dominates in many other industries, coffee production is not one of them. So we buy from Brazil. In this way, we invigorate the Brazilian coffee market and allow it to expand.

Outsourcing is similar. When American companies outsource jobs to India, China, Vietnam and other countries, it invigorates the market for American products in those countries. In countries not as wealthy as America, things like video games, mobile games, and other products are not yet in demand. But when outsourced jobs become available in those industries, the awareness and desire for such products spreads. Hundreds of millions of potential customers are now in the business of working in and purchasing products within that market. Instead of just being a product in an American market, outsourcing allows it to become part of the global market.

With America at the forefront of creative innovation, creating new jobs and outsourcing them around the world will only continue to invigorate the American economy.

Step Two: Present Your Opinion

After collecting information about both sides of the debate, you will present your opinion. Choose one option for the format of your work:

undefined

Option A: You may choose to debate the issue with other students through a discussion board or there are many 21st century tools available for effective collaboration and communication in the online environment. For more information about tools your school recommends, please visit the resource tools area in your course or contact your instructor. If you prefer a live debate, ask your instructor whether an opportunity for a live debate is available. View these Debate Tips for help with a student debate.

During the debate, be prepared to cite the source for information that you share. Debate postings on a discussion board should include a citation. You will submit a list of citations for sources in MLA format

Option B: You may choose to present your opinion in a persuasive essay. View these Essay Tips for help with the written option.

Include a list of citations for sources you gather from outside the course. Be sure to include your sources in MLA format

In your debate or essay, be sure to address these questions:

1. Why are some people against outsourcing? Why do others support it?
2. Choose a developing nation and a developed nation. What industries or companies may have an interest in outsourcing to these nations?
3. What barriers to trade would prevent an American company outsourcing to one of those countries?
4. Do you think outsourcing would promote or hinder a healthy American economy? Explain.

 3-2 Simulation Discussion: Competitive Markets

In your responses, comment on at least two posts (attached) from your peers and share an example of a company that experienced a change in revenue as the result of a change in the price of the good or service they provided. After reading your peers’ posts, explain which determinants of price elasticity of demand could be the cause of the change in demand.

Back Story:

Prices are the driving force behind every buying and selling decision in a market economy. Prices are determined by the supply and demand equilibrium and are influenced by the price elasticity of demand and supply of goods and services.

Based on the outcome of the simulation, was the sale price you set the same as the equilibrium price? Refer to the supply and demand model to explain why they might be different.

Imagine that you own your own business. How would price elasticity of demand impact the pricing decisions of your business?

What are the determinants of price elasticity of demand? Identify at least three examples.
