2) A certain company does research and believes that the quantity, Q, that will be demanded by consumers is related to the price by the function ?(?) = 25000 − 320?2.
a) Find a formula for revenue, R(p). Then use your formula to find the total revenue when selling the items at $1.50 each, and find the total revenue when selling the items at $8.50 each. Show your work.
b) Use the revenue function and calculus to solve for the price
that creates the highest revenue.
Show all work/clearly explain all steps to use calculus to solve
the problem. You can use Excel to solve the equation, but you must
clearly show what equation is being solved and explain your
process. Write a complete sentence to explain what your answer
tells us about the revenue.
c) Find a formula for elasticity of demand E(p). Then use your
formula to find the elasticity when
the price of each item is $1.50, and find the elasticity when the
price of each item is $8.50. Show your work. Then write a complete
sentence to interpret the meaning in context including an
explanation of whether or not it is elastic or inelastic at each
price as well as whether or not they should or should not raise the
price.
d) Use the elasticity function to solve for when the price elasticity of demand is equal to −1. Show the equation you are solving. You can solve the equation using Excel or you can solve by hand. Write a complete sentence to explain what your answer tells us about the revenue.
e) What do you notice about your answers to part ii) and part iv)? Write a short paragraph describing two methods that can be used to solve for the maximum revenue if we have a revenue function.

1- What is codetermination? Describe both the theoretical concept and its implications and compare theory to practice in Germany. Why does Germany rely on codetermination? Does codetermination have any role in the success of the German Mittelstand? Senator Elizabeth Warren suggested that the institution of codetermination should be brought to US corporations. How would that impact US corporations?
2- According to Hayek’s article “The Use of Knowledge in Society,” what is the fundamental role of prices in the economy? Why does Hayek use the word marvel when he describes the price mechanism? What happens when prices are determined by the state rather than by the interaction of many buyers and many sellers in the marketplace? Discuss the differences in allocative efficiency between a capitalist and a socialist economic system as they relate to the price mechanism in each system.
3- Lewis's two-sector model is said to be a good description of industrialization in East Asia. What is the essence of this model? Use the graphs to represent the two sectors and explain in detail the dynamics of the labor movement between the two sectors. What is the model’s relevance to understanding economic growth in Asia? Discuss the long-term implications of economic growth in East Asian economics systems.

Introduction
A business plan is a written document that describes your business,
its objectives
and strategies, the market you are targeting and your financial
forecast. It is
important to have a business plan because it helps you set
realistic goals, secure
external funding, measure your success, clarify operational
requirements and
establish reasonable financial forecasts. Preparing your plan will
also help you focus
on how to operate your new business and give it the best chance for
success.
Securing financial assistance to start your new business will be
directly related to the
strength of your business plan. To be considered a viable candidate
to receive funds
from a financial institutions or investors, you must demonstrate
that you understand
every aspect of your business, and its ability to generate
profit.
A business plan is more than just something to show lenders and
investors; it is also
necessary to help you plan for the growth and progress of your
business. Your
business’s success can depend on your plans for the future.
Listed below are examples of questions to ask you when writing your
business plan:
• How will I generate a profit?
• How will I run the business if sales are low or if profits are
down?
• Who is my competition, and how will you co-exist?
• Who is my target market?
You are required to write a Business Plan Report and you are
advised to follow the
below given outline. To make the best impression, a business plan
should follow a
convention structure, such as the outline shown below.

report:
a. Use A4 size paper and leave at least 40 mm for the left-hand
margin and about
25 mm for the right-hand margin. Also leave about 40 mm at the top
and 25
mm at the bottom of each sheet.
b. Font is Arial and font size 12.
c. Paragraph spacing 1.5.
d. Number each sheet at the bottom. As you write, make
cross-references by
section rather than by pages. Page numbers may change later. If you
wish to
refer to the page numbers in the text, do so only after you have
the final
version of the report.
e. Sections and subsections should be numbered for reference, but
avoid
cumbersome sub-sub-section numbering such as 4.2.3.6. To keep
the
contents, list short, include only numbered headings. There is
probably no
need to exceed two digit numbers, such as 4.2 or 3.4.
f. Headings should be used at the beginning of sections and
anywhere else
necessary. Carefully selected headings make the report clearer and
will avoid
confusing the reader. They should be distinguished by a change of
font or size,
or may be underlined in the report.
g. Tables should be used to present information concisely where
graphs or
histograms are not appropriate. In setting out tables, arrange the
data so that
there are more rows than columns and use a minimum of horizontal
lines.
Table headings should follow the section number (e.g., in Section
1, Table 1.1,
1.2, 1.3 ...) in the order in which they are mentioned. They can
then be referred
to in the text by number only (e.g., Table 1.1). Place the tables
in the text near
to where they are first referred to. If you use a very large number
of tables,
they may be more conveniently placed at the end of the report or
you may
want to put them in the appendix.
h. Equations should be numbered by section (e.g., in Section 2,
Equation 2.3, 2.7
...). You may need to show an equation in the financial projection
section. This
ensures that if one is deleted or if you need to refer to an
equation that you
have not previously numbered, only those in that particular section
need to be
re-numbered. Keep the number to the right margin of the page. Check
all
references to equations in the text when editing your final
draft.
i. Graphs, histograms, drawings, diagrams and photographs should
all be
referred to as figures: Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, and so on. If the
size of the
figures is small, you may put two on one page. Insert a caption for
each figure.
Place the figures in the text next to where they are first
mentioned. Keep the
labelling inside the figures to a minimum using letters,
abbreviations and
symbols; avoid phrases. Use the figure caption to explain the
details. For
example, different curves on a graph may be labelled A, B, C and so
on and
each can then be identified in the caption. Check all references to
figures in the
text and any information you quote from within the details of the
figure.
j. You may use different colours between curves or parts of a
diagram.

What happens when you encounter a friend or relative who clearly has a problem, such as an eating disorder, and doesn't want to talk about it? Do you back off? Do you push ahead and offer advice? Do you offer to listen and wait for the person to come to you for help? How would you feel if you "just waited" and the person deteriorated? Anorexia and bulimia are difficult disorders to deal with, even for professionals; typically waiting it out is not an option, while insisting that the person get help is likely to result in their withdrawal. You're stuck between that proverbial "rock and a hard place."
Take a look at the assigned reading put out by the Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAND). Please give your thoughts about what you believe to be the best way to approach eating disorders. Choose one item listed under the “do” and one item listed under the “don’t” and explain, in detail, why the item might be something to do or not do. Using additional resources, explain other approaches to helping people with eating disorders. Provide examples to enhance your explanation.
