The 50kg crate is resting on a 15 deg. inclined plane. The us= 0.20 and uk = 0.15 at the surface of contact between the crate and the plane. If a force P, acting upward and parallel to the inclined plane is applied, determine acceleration if a) P=0, b) P=120N, and c) P= 350N.

discuss the current health policies of UK and US using relevant theoretical concepts and ideologies which inform public health policy and practice.

(You can use these points for assignment: Current health policies, health policies regarding COVID-19, compare and contrast the two countries)

A. Calculation of Net Interest Income for each bank :-

For US Bank

Asset = 120*1.5= $180 million

Interest on asset= 180*6.5%= $11.7 million

Interest on Liability = 180*4.75%= $8.55 million

=> Net Interest Income= 11.7-8.55 = $3.15million

ROA= (3.15/180)*100= 1.75%

For UK Bank :-

Asset = 180/1.5= £120 million

=> Net Interest Income= 120(6.5-4.75)= £2.10 million

ROA= (2.10/120)*100= 1.75%

B. Calculations when spot rate is $1.6820/£

For us Bank :-

Asset= 120*1.6820= $201.84 million

Interest on above= 201.84*6.5%= $13.1196million

Interest on Liability = 180*4.75%= $8.55 million

=> Net Interest Income= $ 4.5696milliom

ROA= (4.5696/201.84)*100= 2.26%

For UK Bank :-

Asset= 180/1.6820= £107.02 million

Interest on above= 107.02*6.5%= £6.9653million

Interest on Liability= 120*4.75%= £5.7 million

=> NII= 6.9653-5.7= £1.2653million

ROA= (1.2653/107.02)*100= 1.1823%

D. When the currency swap takes place, the US bank will receive interest on $180million and will remain unaffected by the change in spot $/£ exchange rate. Similarly, UK bank will receive interest on £ 120 million and will not be affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

Therefore, US bank will give 180*6.5%= $11.7 million to the agent. He will deduct $2.925 million (.25%of 11.7) as his fees and remit balance amount i.e $8.775million to bank

Similarly, UK bank will give 120*6.5%= £7.80million to the agent. He will deduct £1.95 million(0.25% of 7.80) as his fees and remit balance amount i.e £5.85 million to the bank.

Please help with E and F

d. For each loan, calculate the bank’s ROA (%) by dividing the interest income by the funds tied up.

e. For each loan, calculate the increase in yield to the bank from the compensating balance requirement, i.e. the yield (%) to the bank in excess of the Base Interest Rate + Loan Origination Fee

Excess Yield = ROA – (Base Interest Rate + Loan Origination Fee).

The US has threatened new trade tariffs on beer, chocolate, and olives from the European Union, as part of a long-running row over subsidies to plane maker Airbus.

The US Trade Representative said it was considering duties on 30 products worth $3.1bn (£2.5bn) in trade every year.

It has already put 15% to 25% tariffs on $7.5bn worth of other EU goods as part of the dispute.

The EU warned it would damage firms on both side of the Atlantic.

And UK Trade Minister Liz Truss said she was disappointed by the move, warning against the use of "tit-for-tat" tariffs.

The row centres on EU subsidies given to Airbus before 2004, which Washington says created an unfair advantage over the US aircraft manufacturer Boeing.

Last year, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled the subsidies were illegal and allowed the US to levy tariffs on EU goods, including aircraft, wines, and cheese.

But it is now considering a parallel case involving illegal support for Boeing, which could see the EU imposing duties later this year.

The US said pastry and cakes, gin, cashmere clothes and hardware products could all be in the firing line for new tariffs, affecting exporters across the continent.

In a statement the EU said Washington was going beyond what was allowed by the WTO.

"It creates uncertainty for companies and inflicts unnecessary economic damage on both sides of the Atlantic," it added.

"This is particularly the case as companies are now trying to overcome the economic difficulties in the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis."

Critical Thinking

The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002). Due to the rapidly changing global marketplace only those companies will be able to survive that will deliver products of good quality at cheaper rate and to achieve their goal companies try to improve performance by focusing on cost cutting, increasing productivity levels, quality and guaranteeing deliveries in order to satisfy customers (Raouf, 1994).

Increased global competition leads the industry to increasing efficiency by means of economies of scale and internal specialization so as to meet market conditions in terms of flexibility, delivery performance and quality (Yamashina, 1995). The changes in the present competitive business environment are characterized by profound competition on the supply side and keen indecisive in customer requirements on the demand side. These changes have left their distinctive marks on the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes et al., 2006). With this increasing global economy, cost effective manufacturing has become a requirement to remain competitive.

To meet all the challenges organizations try to introduce different manufacturing and supply techniques. Management of organizations devotes its efforts to reduce the manufacturing costs and to improve the quality of product. To achieve this goal, different manufacturing and supply techniques have been employed. The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed the adoption of world-class, lean and integrated manufacturing strategies that have drastically changed the way manufacturing firm’s leads to improvement of manufacturing performance (Fullerton and McWatters, 2002).

Consult chapter 7 of your text book or secondary available data on internet and answer the following questions.

Question:

1. Why Companies adopted Lean Thinking and JIT model?
2. Discuss major types of Waste, companies has to keep in mind during production.
3. Assess the reasons for using lean thinking (suitable examples), what are the benefits from Suppliers to end users?
4. Due to COVID 19 emergency do you think agile supply chain is the right concept in this kind of situation? Give reason with example.
