4
ECON 545 Week 1 DQ 1 Supply and Demand
  • What is the difference between a change in demand
    versus a change in quantity demanded? A change in
    supply versus a change in quantity supplied? Why
    is it so important to differentiate between these
    similar-sounding terms?

5
ECON 545 Week 1 DQ 2 Elasticity and the Minimum
Wage
  • What are your thoughts about minimum wage
    legislation? What kind of a price-control policy
    is this? Who gains? Who loses? Are there
    alternatives to this legislation for achieving
    the same policy objectives? What role do demand
    and supply elasticities play in determining
    outcomes?

6
ECON 545 Week 2 DQ 1 Marginal Analysis
  • Why is marginal analysis important in economics?
    How do the tutorials Basics of Marginal Analysis
    and Understanding and Applying Marginal Analysis
    at the end of this week's lecturereinforce the
    concepts of marginal analysis? How can any firm
    find the right production level which guarantees
    maximum profit (or minimum loss)?

7
ECON 545 Week 2 DQ 2 Controlling Costs
  • Name some of the ways firms attempt to control
    their costs. How does your firm control costs?
    The key here in keeping this question interesting
    is that reducing the workforce or having one
    person do the work of three people are not the
    only ways to control costs. I'm looking for more
    creative ways. Maybe you can think of some that
    your firm is not currently using. Be creative
    here.

8
ECON 545 Week 3 Course Project 1 Microeconomic
Analysis (Situation C)
  • The Microeconomic Paper tests your ability to
    apply economic principles to a business decision.
    Select one situation from the items outlined
    below A to D. Complete the paper on the selected
    situation as specified below. The completed paper
    is a professional report and is due in Week 3
    (230 points). See the grading rubric at the end
    of this document. Be sure to use the DeVry
    library for finding data avoid questionable
    sources, such as Wikipedia.
  • The following is a list of the specific required
    information, research, graphs, and math to be
    included in each answer regardless of the
    scenario chosen.
  • 1. Demand Determinants

9
ECON 545 Week 3 DQ 1 Mergers Acquisitions
  • Have you ever been involved in a merger or
    acquisition? If so, tell us about your
    experiences. If not, comment on this week's
    tutorial, "The Private Sector."

10
ECON 545 Week 3 DQ 2 Antitrust Policy
  • Review and chose a firm of your choice provided
    by your instructor. Is this firm a monopoly? In
    what ways could it be considered a monopoly? What
    markets are involved? What anti-trust legislation
    would apply? Is anti-trust legislation "fair" to
    your chosen firm? Why or why not?

11
ECON 545 Week 4 DQ 1 Current Topic in
Macroeconomics
  • Scour the national media for a credible
    macroeconomic current issue (many good sources
    are available online) in which Chapters 19-21 is
    at the heart of the matter. Summarize your
    article for your colleagues and attach a link to
    your article. Make sure you appropriately refer
    to the textbook sections that apply to your
    chosen article.

12
ECON 545 Week 4 DQ 2 Healthcare
  • The healthcare sector is often cited as being
    fraught with just about every economic
    imperfection that is known to humankind. Can you
    identify and briefly describe ONE of these
    imperfections? Do you know of any examples?

13
ECON 545 Week 5 DQ 1 Trade Deficits
  • What have been some major causes of the large
    U.S. trade deficits since 1992? What is a major
    benefit (you could address that issue) or a major
    cost (or you could address that issue) associated
    with trade deficits?

14
ECON 545 Week 5 DQ 2 Exchange Rate
  • Do a little research about foreign exchange
    traders. It's a big business how do they make
    money? What is the relationship between FX rates
    and interest rates?

15
ECON 545 Week 6 Course Project 2 Macroeconomic
Analysis (Situation C)
  • The Macroeconomic Paper tests your ability to
    apply economic principles to a business decision
    considering the impact of macroeconomic
    variables. Select one situation from the items
    outlined below A to D. Complete the paper on the
    selected situation as specified below. The
    completed paper is a professional report and is
    due in Week 6 (260 Points). See the grading
    rubric at the end of this document. Be sure to
    use the DeVry library to find data, and avoid
    questionable sources, such as Wikipedia.

16
ECON 545 Week 6 DQ 1 Fiscal Policy
  • What fiscal policies are required to fight
    unemployment? Which ones are required to fight
    inflation? What are some of the downside risks
    and potential problems involved when using fiscal
    policy?

17
ECON 545 Week 6 DQ 2 Monetary Policy
  • What are the monetary policies required to fight
    unemployment? What about those required to fight
    inflation? What are some of the downside risks
    and potential problems involved when using
    monetary policy?

18
ECON 545 Week 7 DQ 1 The Public Sector
  • What is the appropriate balance between private
    and public (i.e., government) activity? Think of
    a case where the government has intervened (or it
    was suggested that government intervene) in a
    previously private market (e.g. Chrysler, tariffs
    on Japanese luxury cars, the airline industry,
    etc). What other examples can you think of? Using
    a marginal benefit/marginal cost analysis,
    support or argue against the intervention.

19
ECON 545 Week 7 DQ 2 Forecasting
  • Let's discuss one of the most important areas of
    economics, namely the use of leading economic
    indicators to forecast the future direction of
    the macroeconomy. What websites are helping you
    gain a better understanding of where the economy
    is heading in the next 12 months?
