Psychologists have identified five main personality traits,
often called the "Big Five" or the five-trait model. Think about
the "Big Five" personality traits we studied in class. Then select
a real or fictional character from literature, film, television, or
public life. How could the "Big Five" model be used to understand
the character's personality?
In a multi-paragraph essay, explain what is meant by a "personality
trait" according to the "Big Five" model, define each of the "Big
Five" traits, and describe the character's personality using the
"Big Five" traits. For each trait, be sure to provide evidence from
the character's thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Include details
from class materials, readings, and research on personality to
support your discussion.

The decomposition of XY is second order in XY and has a rate constant of 6.94×10−3 M−1⋅s−1 at a certain temperature.
If the initial concentration of XY is 0.160 M , how long will it take for the concentration to decrease to 6.00×10−2 M ? Express your answer using two significant figures.
If the initial concentration of XYXY is 0.050 MM, what is the concentration of XYXY after 500 ss ?
Express your answer using two significant figures.

How should government policymakers respond to the business cycles? (Hint: “The Federal Reserve’s job is to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going” says William Mc Chesney Martin. On the other hand Milton Friedman says “What we need is not a skilled monetary driver of the economic vehicle continuously turning the steering wheel to adjust to the unexpected irregularities of the route, but some means of keeping the monetary passenger who is in the back seat as ballast from occasionally leaning over and giving the steering wheel a jerk that threatens to send the car off the road

Monetarists, claim that central banks have to keep the money supply growing at a steady rate. They believe that fluctuations in the money supply are responsible for most large fluctuations in the economy. They argue that slow and steady growth in the money supply would yield stable output, employment, and prices. On the other hand, some economists believe that monetarist policy rule would work only under a certain circumstance otherwise it would be useless. According to these economists what is necessary for the monetary policy rule to be effective?

You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $220,000, and it would cost another $33,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $77,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $12,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $77,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.
What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Psychologists like Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson theorized that
humans go through stages in their development throughout life,
growing from infancy to old age. Piaget outlined stages of thinking
or cognitive development, and Erikson described stages of
personality or psychosocial development. How can you use this
information to better understand your own life? What stages of
cognitive and psychosocial development have you gone through since
you were an infant? Which stages will you go through as you develop
into adulthood and old age?
In a multi-paragraph essay, describe all the different stages of
cognitive and psychosocial development throughout your lifespan. Be
sure to provide examples to illustrate the thoughts, emotions, and
behavior typical of each stage. Include details from class
materials, readings, and research on human development to support
your discussion.
