Private colleges and universities rely on money contributed by individuals and corporations for their operating expenses. Much of this money is put into a fund called an endowment, and the college spends only the interest earned by the fund. A recent survey of 8 private colleges in the United States revealed the following endowments (in millions of dollars): 60.2, 47.0, 235.1, 490.0, 122.6, 177.5, 95.4, and 220.0.

Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean endowment of all the private colleges in the United States assuming a normal distribution for the endowments.

What is the difference between a group "at risk" for poor health and a group considered a "vulnerable" population? Provide an example of an "at risk" or "vulnerable population" group in the United States and one in another country (or immigrants within the United States).

Explain why members of these groups cannot advocate for themselves or why advocating for these groups would be beneficial.

What would you advocate for?

Identify ethical issues that need to be addressed when working with these individuals.

Provide information about the selected "at risk" group. How many individuals fall into this group and what are some issues they face.

Nukee, a United States shoe manufacturer and retailer, established two retail outlets in the city
of Shenzen, China, which has a population of 3.7 million. These outlets are massive and contain
products purchased locally as well as imports. As Nukee generates earnings beyond what it
needs in Shenzen, it may remit those earnings back to the United States. Nukee is likely to
build additional outlets in Shenzen or in other Chinese cities in the future.

Explain how Nukee might utilize the international money market when it is establishing
other Nukee stores in Asia?

The Australian Financial Review contains a table showing Australian exchange rates or you can find exchange rates on the web. Use either source to answer the following questions.

a)Does this table show nominal or real exchange rates? Explain.

b). What are the exchange rates between Australia and the United States and between Australia and Japan? Calculate the exchange rate between the United States and Japan.

c). If Australian inflation exceeds US inflation over the next year, would you expect the dollar to appreciate or depreciate relative to the US dollar?

In the study, it was found that mothers reported more progressive parenting attitudes and modernity than fathers, why might this be the case?

"Authoritarian parenting was associated with lower academic achievement in Australia, China, and the United States, but it was associated with higher academic achievement in Hong Kong. Furthermore, within Australia and the United States, authoritarian parenting was associated with higher academic achievement among parents with low education/low income." Why might this be the case?

These questions are opinion based questions. There is not a right or wrong answer. Please elaborate. Here is the link to the article. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3173779/

Suppose that in past years the average price per square foot for warehouses in the United States has been $32.28. A national real estate investor wants to determine whether that figure has declined now. The investor hires a researcher who randomly samples 49 warehouses that are for sale across the United States and finds that the mean price per square foot is $31.67, with a sample standard deviation of $1.29. At 5% level of significance, test to see if the average price per square foot for warehouses in the U.S. has declined. Interpret your result

Part of international trade involves countries using their money to purchase other countries currencies, invest in their stock markets, and purchase financial products such as US treasuries (bonds, debt). In August 2002, a private lawsuit was filed in U.S. courts which sought to seize over $1 trillion worth of Saudi Arabian and other Middle Eastern assets in the United States as compensation for terrorist attacks. If the lawsuit would have been successful, how would that have affected future foreign investment in the United States? How would it affect interest rates?

Draw Draw a three-graph figure similar to Figure 9.4 in chapter 9 notes and explain the effects of a Chinese tariff on U.S. exports of soybeans to China. Assume that the United States and China are large countries. Do a welfare analysis and explain the effects of the tariff in the U.S. soybean market, do a welfare analysis and explain the effects of tariff in the Chinese market, and explain the effects of the tariff in the international market. Explain the costs and benefits of the tariff in the United States and in China. Make sure to discuss the appropriate details. You can draw the graphs by hand and paste them here.

Choose any country except the United States, and your native country (if different from the United States). Describe the culture of this country in detail. What are some key cultural aspects of which a U.S. expatriate on assignment in this country should be aware? What aspects of this country’s culture could cause culture shock for a U.S. expatriate? What advice would you give to someone who was preparing for a long-term assignment in this culture? Finally, would you want to spend an extended amount of time as an expatriate in this country? Why or why not? Support your assessment.
