Suppose that the U.S. government reduces the tariff on imported coffee, and a reputable study is published indicating that coffee drinkers have lower rates of colon cancer. What will the combined impact be on the equilibrium price and quantity of coffee? Explain your reasoning and show graphically the impact of these effects.
I sent the work I had to my professor, and he sent back this question: Keep in mind that in the short run assets are fixed. What impact does this have on supply?
This is the work I have so far, but I feel like I'm missing something due to the question he sent me (note: he won't help me more than that): Reasoning: If the tariff on imported coffee reduces, more coffee will be bought (and thus, more coffee is imported) by companies in order to gain a bigger profit; therefore, supply will shift to the right (most likely, supply would increase more than demand because of the reduced tariff + bigger profit companies can make) . Companies can sell the coffee at the same price since they did not have to pay as large a tariff to import it. Lower import cost with unchanged prices will make for a bigger profit. These are both proven by “more product will be bought the lower its price”. In addition, people will demand and buy more coffee when they see that a reputable study says coffee drinkers are at less risk for colon cancer. This shifts demand and moves the quantity equilibrium.
The orange and blue lines show the supply and demand of the coffee before the tariff is reduced. The thinner orange and blue lines (S1 and D1) show supply and demand after the tariff is reduced. Dashed lines show equilibrium between price and quantity. Q0 and P0 show the equilibrium before tariff is reduced. Q1 and P1 show the equilibrium after tariff is reduced. The end result is supply and demand both go through an increase (demand and supply move to the right), the price stays steady, and the quantity demanded equilibrium changes.

National Co. manufactures and sells three products: red, white, and blue. Their unit sales prices are red, $55; white, $85; and blue, $110. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are red, $40; white, $60; and blue, $80. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 5:4:2 (red:white:blue). Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $150,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture all three products. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: red, by $10; white, by $20; and blue, by $10. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $20,000.

Assume if the company continues to use the old material, determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product. (Round up your composite units to whole number. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

For this assignment, you will complete a 15-30 minute session of any type of massage or acupressure. You will need to either 1) practice self-massage techniques from Exercise 19.1 of the book OR 2) get any type of professional massage or acupressure to complete your session. This practice is designed to help you with your physical practice at managing stress. This should be for a minimum of 15-30 minutes (you can practice this technique for longer and more than once if you would like). This time is not meant as added stress, but as practice to determine which techniques may work best for you.
When you have finished your session please complete the following:
A description of the activity (15-20 sentences about how you completed the activity): What did you do? (Be specific - You will need to include some names or descriptions of the process that you completed.) How did the activity make you feel physically? (Was it difficult, easy, etc.?)
After you complete your practice of this technique, please reflect on the experience with a minimum of 2-3 sentences for each response. Answer the following statements for each technique:
1. Describe any recurring thoughts you had during your practice of ______________:
2. Describe any difficulties you experienced during your practice of _____________:
3. Do you think this technique will help you manage and/or reduce your stress levels? Why or why not?
Please submit via on line text. Take your time, enjoy the experience. Give yourself the time to physically feel if any of these techniques work for you.
For your responses, please be specific to the stress reduction activity that you are practicing. Please be clear that you actually tried the activity. If your response is too general, you will likely not receive full credit for the assignment.

You work for a firm that is currently selling a generic allergy medication. Recently there was a new price control set in place which is currently slightly higher than the current market price. What events could occur which would cause the price ceiling to become binding? Give an example of a decision your company can make to get the equilibrium price back under the price ceiling.

Delta Company produces a single product. The cost of producing and selling a single unit of this product at the company’s normal activity level of 86,400 units per year is: Direct materials $ 1.90 Direct labor $ 3.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.25 Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 1.10 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 2.00 The normal selling price is $20.00 per unit. The company’s capacity is 118,800 units per year. An order has been received from a mail-order house for 2,700 units at a special price of $17.00 per unit. This order would not affect regular sales or the company’s total fixed costs. Required: 1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? 2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company’s inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. The company does not expect the selling of these inferior units to have any effect on the sales of its current model. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for these units?

AA DD individuals were crossed to aa dd individuals. The F1 generation was then testcrossed to aa dd individuals. The resulting individuals had the following genotypes: 903 individuals with the genotype Aa Dd, 897 individuals with the genotype aa dd, 98 individuals with the genotype Aa dd, 102 individuals with the genotype aa Dd.

A. Same chromosomes
B. Different chromosomes
C. Can't be determined
2. If A and D are on the same chromosome, how far apart are they in Map Units. (Answer in a number - without units, if they are not on the same chromosome, answer 0).

7. You have a hash function that takes the binary bits of a number, divides it up into blocks of 4 bits and then XORs the blocks together. So for example, if we have 4 blocks, block X0, X1, X2 and X3, the result of the 4-bit block hash would be X0 XOR X1 XOR X2 XOR X3. For example, the hash of "011011001010" would be "0110" XOR "1100" XOR "1010". Demonstrate that this is a poor hash function by showing me a hash collision using this function and two different input strings of at least 8 bits.
