The macroeconomic analysis paper should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of Final Project Part II, including Section III (Macroeconomic Policies) and Section IV (Macroeconomic Conditions and Company Performance), which have not been covered in the milestones.

In addition to covering all of the critical elements of Part II Milestone, the final submission should include the following elements, which cover Sections III and IV:

(a) Describe the current monetary and fiscal policies in the United States. Consider including how these policies affect your company and its products and services.

(b) Predict how possible changes in monetary and/or fiscal policy may impact the supply and demand of your product or service.

(c) Describe the trends of two previously selected company performance variables (e.g., sales, stock pricing, net income) over the past three years. Keep in mind these are the performance variables selected in the microeconomic analysis.

(d) Analyze the relationship between the two company performance variables and the three selected macroeconomic variables for the past three years using a correlation graph. Be sure to include the graph that represents the correlation.

(e) Assess how the current monetary policy and fiscal policy in the United States may impact your chosen company’s financial performance in the short term (six months to one year). Justify your response.

The final macroeconomic analysis paper should incorporate feedback from Part II Milestone and should also reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course.

Description of Company

The organization being taken into consideration in the present scenario is the organization in the name of Bai. This organization was being founded by pioneer of coffee industries i.e. Ben Weiss and the organization was being launched in the hometown of the individual i.e. Princeton. The organization is being involved in providing health drinks to the people. In the course of health drinks being provided, the organization ensures that, the health drinks are anti-oxidant and does not create any kind of issue to the individuals in the course of consumption of the health drinks being taken into consideration at a particular point of time.

The organization was being launched in the year 2008, and the first case of the organization was being sold in the year 2009. First of the Bai 5 flavor was being established in the year 2010 and the organization also had its first distributor being established in the year 2010. The organization was also being involved in doing partnerships with various distributors and it had been able to ensure that, it expands its area of distribution to national level in the years of 2014 (Bai, n.d.). This way, the organization was being able to ensure that, it is being working well in an area in which the organization was being in the position to enhance its goals to a larger extent without any kind of issue or trouble arising to it.

Micro Economic Variables

There are certain micro economic variables which are likely to do influence to supply and demand of the product being provided by the organization. In this area, the variables will include income of customers, rate at which prices are rising and change in tastes and preferences of the customers. The customers are going to demand higher of the products when, there income level rise, the prices go down and the employment rates of the customers are regarding purchase of the products. This is going to work well for the customers in a way that, better results are being generated. If there is other way around in the course of these three variables, it is going to be a scenario in which the organizational product sale and demand for the product is going to go down to a certain extent.

Trends in the Variables

The trends in the variables are being taken into consideration regarding the three economic variables being taken into consideration. In the course of these variables, it can be said that, there has not been much change in the economic conditions at a particular point of time in the last 3 years. Therefore, there is not much change in this area regarding the changes being made in change in demand and supply for the products being taken into consideration at this point.

Impact of the Trends

The trends as seen above are the same and these trends are not going to make any kind of impact. The trends are the same. If there was any kind of change then, it could have had been a scenario that the changes could have had arisen. Here, the situation is the same, therefore, there would not be any kind of impact in the course of the changes which are being made in the present scenario.

MBA 502 Final Project Part II Guidelines and Rubric Overview For this second part of the final project, you will produce a macroeconomic analysis paper related to the publicly traded company and its product or service that you chose for your microeconomic analysis. First, you will select three macroeconomic variables for the United States that directly impact the supply and demand of the company’s product or service you previously selected. Second, you will analyze the extent to which macroeconomic conditions in the United States have affected the financial performance of your chosen company over the last three years using macroeconomic and company performance data. Finally, you will evaluate how current monetary and/or fiscal policies in the United States are likely to impact your chosen company’s financial performance in the near future. This project addresses the following course outcomes:  Assess how macroeconomic variables and policies impact the supply and demand of a company’s products or services based on trends in economic data  Evaluate the effects of macroeconomic variables and policies on the financial performance of companies in the United States The project includes one milestone, which will be submitted in Module Eight to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. The final macroeconomic analysis paper will be submitted in Module Ten.
