Construct a graph showing supply and demand in the electronic dog feeder market, using Microsoft Excel.
How are the laws of supply and demand illustrated in this graph? Explain your answers.
What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
Assume that the government imposes a price floor of $180 in the feeder market. What would happen in this market?
Assume that the price floor is removed and a price ceiling is imposed at $90. What would happen in this market?
Now, assume that the price of feeders drops by 50%. How would this change impact the demand for feeders? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
Assume that incomes of the consumers in this market increases. What would happen in this market? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.
Assume that the number of sellers decreases in this market. What would happen in this market? Explain your answer and reconstruct the graph developed in question one to show this change.

Individual Project Part 1: Managing Projects
The Individual Project Assignments in this course are designed to provide you with a practical understanding of project management activities in a health care organization.
Part 1 of the Individual Project focuses on managing projects. You interview an individual who has managed a project for an organization. Alternatively, you may examine a minimum of three organizations that have published descriptions about a health care information technology project.
Hi, for this assignment you have the option of choosing the INTERVIEW or the SCHOLARLY PAPER. This assignment MUST include an introduction with a purpose statement (e.g. the purpose of this paper is …), and a summary. Include at least 3 references from the list I provided. Check the PDF file attached for more instructions on this project.
