Solutions

Expert Solution

According to my personal opinions, i feel that the most plausible, reasonable, and/or wise philosophies/ theories are-

Deontology and Virtue Ethics.

1- Deontology or Kantian Ethics by Imanuel Kant is the facets entirely based on the "Sense of duty or sense of responsibility".

This seems to be a far better perspective than utilitarianism as it may lead to unethical/ immoral aspects in the desire to achieve the "greatest good".

"Categorial imperative" is a kind of a maxim by Kant that further enriches "Deontology" through the assertion "Do/ act unto others the way you feel the others should act/ do towards you and thus there's a sense of reciprocation".

2- Virtue Ethics by Aristotle reflect the significance of the life in a pretty "Balanced" manner. Therefore, Aristotle presents the need to be with "a mean" which is the exact balanced and ideal state between the two extremes "Defeciency" and "Extreme".

The life with actions denoting "the Mean" transforms and cultivates "a person's character".

One the basis of what you have studied so far, how would you distinguish the neoclassical investment function [Investment = f(cost of borrowed funds)] from that of Keynes [Investment = f(expected profit rate - the cost of borrowed funds)]? In other words, why would Say’s law which is a key feature of neoclassical macroeconomics, not work if the investment is a function of expected profits?

Let’s take the same example but add a little more complexity. So far we have assumed there was no resale value for the work already completed. Assume that the company could sell the half developed project to another property firm for $60m. The $60m now becomes an opportunity cost, as it is money that could be received. As we have already discussed opportunity costs are relevant costs and so MUST be considered when making a decision.

Suppose we have two galaxies that are sufficiently far apart so that the distance between them increases due to Hubble's expansion. If I were to connect these two galaxies with a rope, would there be tension in the rope? Would the tension increase with time? Is the origin of the tension some sort of drag between the expanding space and matter?

Competitive strategy as we have understood it so far, has followed a two step process; the first step was creating value defined as the difference between the customer's willingness to pay (based on their desires) and the cost of supplying the good (based on the firm's value chain choices), and the second step of splitting this "value" created between the customer (appropriated as consumer surplus) and supplier firm (appropriated as profits).
