Children and Poverty:

Part 1 - Service Learning Project Investigation, Preparation, and Action: Look for a way to actively participate in the fight against hunger. The Feeding America website has many ideas including launching a virtual food drive or volunteering your time. Keep in mind that you want to do something that will directly influence your community. You want to investigate the number of people who suffer from hunger where you live, and link your service learning project to benefit them. For this part you will turn in an overview of your project including what you investigated and how you are executing your plan. One page MAXIMUM.

Part 2 - Service Learning Reflection: Reflecting on your learning is one of the most important pieces of service learning. Unlike community service, service learning allows you to relate the project to your life and the decisions that you will make in the future. Write a reflection paper on what you have learned. Include a description of what you did, what you saw, how it made you feel, and how it relates to the content of this lesson. What questions do you still have and what will you do next? Reflect on how your service and learning relate to you, your community, and your future actions. The reflection should be at least 500 words and should not exceed 750 words.

***Need response by Friday evening or Saturday at the latest!!! These are the details. That's all the instructions that came with the assignment. I'm not sure what else to post. I've got several responses requesting for details. This is it! I need the number portion completed where it says assignment. Please and thank you! This is my 4th time posting. No one has helped me. I followed all the 2 suggestions from the previous folks who offered pointers and still nothing. Someone please help! :(

Overview of the module requires that you run a simulation over an 18-year period, and that you analyze the outcome of the decisions you make at each decision point. In this course, we will be using the MIT Solar Power Pricing Simulation. Read the following introduction to the SunPower case: The Industry Evolution Management Flight Simulator portrays the growth and competition of firms as an industry evolves. Playing the role of chief executive for one of the firms in the industry, you make key decisions involving pricing, investment and marketing in order to succeed in the marketplace. This version of the simulator has been customized to portray the solar power industry, specifically SunPower and other manufacturers of photovoltaic panels (PVs). While historically the cost of electricity from PV panels has limited them to niche applications, there is massive potential for growth in the market if solar power could become a viable alternative to traditional sources of electricity. In the simulator, your job is to maximize SunPower's cumulative profit over a period of eighteen years. To do this, you make pricing and investment decisions each simulated time period. As a young company with a new innovation, you will start the game with a technology that you hope stays proprietary. In theory you can reap the benefits of technological advancements from the rest of the industry while spreading your advancements to them. In addition, you (or your administrator) have the option of setting several other competitive and market scenarios, including the sources and rates of learning, the strength of knowledge spillovers, entry of new competitors, and external incentives that help to drive consumers towards using solar power. You will receive periodic reports including your income statement and industry data. You need to select your strategies based on those reports, your understanding of the underlying industry structure, and your best judgment about how your competitor and customers may respond. Though the model has been carefully calibrated and tested, it is not designed to predict the future or exactly match the history and special circumstances of SunPower. Rather, it is used to illustrate competitive dynamics important not only in the photovoltaic panel industry but in other contexts you may face. Instead of merely "beating the game," focus on understanding the underlying industry structure so you can develop robust, successful strategies. *** Source: Sterman, J. (2014). Eclipsing the competition: The Solar PV industry simulation. Forio. Retrieved on November 23, 2014 from http://forio.com/simulation/solar-test/index.htm#page=market_research Be sure to review the SunPower case study, as it will provide you with background and context for the simulation: http://forio.com/simulation/solar-test/downloads/SunPower-Henderson.pdf Then, visit the simulation here: http://forio.com/simulation/solar-test/index.htm#page=market_research At the landing page, click on “Play as an INDIVIDUAL.” Then, choose a Screen ID and click “Submit.” Familiarize yourself with the simulation. This will require that you get an in-depth understanding of the terminology used in the simulation, as well as the pricing and cost structure of the product. As you begin this simulation (Year 1), your market share is only 2.40%. Your role with the company is to expand your company’s market share over the multi-year period of operations – while recognizing the highest possible cumulative profit. To do this, you must make favorable pricing decisions, and you must ensure that you are improving your product while simultaneously lowering unit costs. Product improvements are determined by the % of revenue allocated to process improvement (i.e., technological advancement = lower unit costs).

**Helpful link: Should you need to brush up on financial analysis, the following presentation provides a very good overview of financial statement analysis: http://vrpacioli.loyola.edu/ac102/chapter17/chapter17.ppt

**This is the piece below I need help with! Not the paper just the number portion of this assignment.

**Assignment Run the simulation, entering the following data into the simulation for each of four decision points (NOTE: Do not change the assumptions displayed in the “Settings” tab): 1) Decision 1: For Years 2008-2012

a) Pricing – Manual

b) Module Price - $0.15

c) Revenue to Process Improvement – 5%

d) Years to Advance – 5 years

2) Decision 2: For Years 2013-2017

a) Pricing – Manual

b) Module Price - $0.13

c) Revenue to Process Improvement – 5%

d) Years to Advance – 5 years 3) Decision

3: For Years 2018-2022

a) Pricing – Manual

b) Module Price - $0.11

c) Revenue to Process Improvement – 5%

d) Years to Advance – 5 years

4) Decision 4: For Years 2023-2025

a) Pricing – Manual

b) Module Price - $0.09

c) Revenue to Process Improvement – 5%

d) Years to Advance – To end At each of the four

(4) decision points above, you are required to analyze the impact of your Module Price on market share and total profits. You are also required to determine how process improvements reduce unit costs over time.
