    The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom
    discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of
    students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every
    student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question
    as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others
    throughout the week. At the end of each unit DB participation will be assessed
    based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the
    discussion.At a minimum each student will be expected to post an original and
    thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by
    responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution
    must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two
    additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are
    highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often as that is
    the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through
    sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB
    question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a
    conversation has ended no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of
    each unit.As a midlevel manager of a company you are trying to get approval on a new
    piece of equipment that will make your department more productive. Yesterday
    over the phone you asked the accounting manager for help in writing your
    proposal which is meant to justify the spending of money on this investment.
    She specifically mentioned making sure to cover only those costs and benefits
    that would be relevant to the decision and not take into account
    irrelevant costs and benefits. You are not quite sure what she meant so you
    plan to meet with her in the morning to discuss the topic.In your own words please post a response to the Discussion Board and
    comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your
    postings.The following grading criteria will be used:Grading Guidelines30%Explain your understanding of what relevant vs. irrelevant costs and benefits
