Please fill-in-the-blanks. First, use the dropdown box provided. Then, for the second, please write in your answer. A BCBA is using a progressive-ratio (PR) schedule with a client. Their PR schedule starts at FR-3 and increases by three each time: FR-3 → FR-6→ FR-9→ FR-12→ FR-15→ FR-18, etc. The client stops responding after FR-12. Please describe the current scenario. You will select an option from the dropdown box for the first sentence and write in your own answer for the second sentence. The PR progression that was used was: The breakpoint for this client was:

A teacher walks around the classroom and gives praise at unpredictable times, averaging praise about every 4 min. Students maintain steady on-task behavior throughout this time. Based upon the description of the main effects and side effect pattern of responding, what schedule of reinforcement is being used?

Your readings presented 3 things. (a) An overview of realism (b) An exploration of structural realism (c) An exploration of Power Transition Theory In this reflection, please identify 2 different contemporary (modern, ongoing) wars. You can think of this assignments as 2 “mini reflections” (in that this doesn’t have to be a single essay, it can be two shorter essays – one for each war/theoretical application). First, you will select one war best explained by Structural Realism. You will briefly describe the war (who are the actors, what do they want, what is the conflict about, etc.). After a short introductory summary, you will explain how the theory would see/explain the war. Remember that each theory carries its own set of assumptions about what we’re looking it, what we assume the interests are, what we assume causes conflict, etc. In the bulk of your essay, you’re going to discuss what the theory would see as the primary actors and sources of conflict, and then – based on the theory – you are going to predict one of the ways the war could end. (In this case, you may choose to identify how the conflict will end, OR you may hypothesize one of the ways the war could end based on the theory.) Be sure, in describing the ending, to explain why the theory would predict that particular outcome over others. In a final, paragraph, please identify where you see the strengths and weaknesses of the theory (more on this below). Next, you will identify a second war and explain it using Power Transition Theory. You will do identically the same thing as described above. You will provide a short introductory summary, followed by an application of the theory – making sure to identify how the theory would see the conflict based on its specific set of assumptions. You will conclude with how the theory would precut the end of the war (as described above). In a final, paragraph, please identify where you see the strengths and weaknesses of the theory (more on this below). Remember that good research means that you are NOT trying to prove yourself (or something) right. Theoretical applications like this are one of the ways we can limit bias. By applying theories (each with its own set of assumptions) to a situation, we can evaluate whether hypotheses that derive from that theory have empirical support (i.e., “wow! This theory really predicts the actions and outcomes of this well.” Or “yeah, based on this assumption, the theory really doesn’t capture the heart of the issue.”).

Acme Company uses process costing. Here are data for the current month: During the current month, there are 1,200 units in beginning work in process inventory, 1,400 units in ending work in process inventory, and 4,300 units started in production. The units in beginning work in process inventory are 70% complete with respect to conversion costs and the units in ending work in process inventory are 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs during the current month? Round to the nearest whole dollar amount and do not enter a dollar sign or a decimal point (e.g., enter 89, not $89.00).

Acme Company uses process costing and has only one processing department. During the current month, the ending work in process inventory has a balance of $117,600 and consists of 5,250 units which are 40% complete with respect to direct materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. The cost per equivalent unit of production for direct materials during the month is $32. What is the cost per equivalent unit of production for conversion costs?
