Question1: How many of the 5-digit numbers that can be written with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 contain both numbers 1 and 2?
question2: 3 married couples shown as a1a2, b1b2, c1c2 want to sit in a row. How many different ways can these married couples sit in a row, without a husband and a wife from the same couple coming together?

please respond to the following discussion below

1. It is understandable to ban unvaccinated patients from clinics. Especially since California has repealed the religious belief exemption (Collins-Bride, 2017, p 47). Unfortunately, banning patients fosters the divide.

Our clinic has a rigorous policy regarding patients that are high risk for the COVID-19 virus. We use telehealth if possible, and when patients come in (after answering a series of questions), PPE is observed by all who encounter the patient, and they are not allowed to sit in public spaces. We have a designated room that has limited items on the counters and is cleaned with bleach wipes. This practice is one option for treatment of patients who are unvaccinated. This compromise may assuage concerns of parents of high-risk infants (Neighmond, 2015).

2. Using the term “anti-vaccer” encourages the divide between schools of thought. The anti-vaccination community can also exclude vaccinated children, believing that vaccinated children are “shedding a virus” (Hoffman, 2019). Understanding that there may be internal biases on both sides may encourage communication.

The first response should be to actively listen to each reason. Education must be tailored to patients' needs, whether it is fear of the combination of vaccines, live attenuated virus, a link to autism, or allergic reactions. Education takes time, and we should plan to spend more than one conversation addressing this issue and offer printed material. We must provide information about the benefits of vaccination and potential consequences of remaining unprotected.

3. Using a revised immunization schedule increases immunity for patients, even if it is delayed. Often patients in this position are too young to choose for themselves. Infants and young children have neither the legal capacity nor the ability to make informed decisions about their health. Over time, parents can see that each vaccine does not cause long term effects to their children and will more likely vaccinate.

Your firm represents Amanda and Sam Baker, grandparents of two-year-old Brian Baker. Brian was recently injured in a home accident. The two-year-old stuck a hairpin into an electrical outlet and was severely burned. The parents had not installed safety plugs in the outlets because they felt the plugs gave a false sense of security. The plugs are easily removed and were not present in many of their friends' homes. The grandparents want to bring a negligence suit on the child's behalf against the parents.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has decided the following cases:

Sorensen v. Sorensen (1975)- A child was injured when his father negligently caused an automobile accident. The court held that children could sue their parents but limited the holding to motor vehicle cases and limited the recovery to the amount of available insurance. For its reasoning the court stated that neither the argument that such suits would disrupt the peace and harmony of the family nor the argument that such actions would tend to promote fraud and collusion was valid.

Lewis v. Lewis (1976)—A wife was injured when her husband negligently caused an automobile accident. The court held that the wife could sue her husband but limited the holding to motor vehicle cases. The court did not limit the recovery to the amount of insurance, stating: "In the present case there is nothing in the record concerning the availability or the amount of the defendant's liability insurance, and we do not refer to insurance as a limiting factor in our holding. We do not interpret the logic (as opposed to the precise holding) of Sorenson as turning on the availability of insurance in each case, and we decline to limit liability in interspousal tort actions in such a fashion." The court cited Sorenson with approval as standing for the proposition that such suits would not disrupt the peace and harmony of the family or tend to promote fraud and collusion. Finally, while acknowledging that some actions that would constitute torts between strangers might not constitute torts if committed between spouses, the court based its decision on the general principle that normally there should be recovery for tortious injury.

Brown v. Brown (1980)—A wife was injured when she slipped on the front steps that her husband had forgotten to salt. The court held that the wife could sue her husband. The court reasoned that while certain behavior between spouses might not be tortious, that was for a trial court to determine at trial, and the case should not be dismissed as a matter of immunity.

Based on prior case law discuss arguments to change the law and allow the child to sue his parents for negligence?

Researchers document significant first trading day share price increases in a large sample of initial public offerings (IPOs) of equity but also find share prices tend to decline when companies make announcements on season equity offerings (SEOs). Please use appropriate finance theories to explain why share price behaves differently in IPOs and SEOs.

Jacob Jones is the manager of the produce section at Snell’s grocery store. Jacob must determine each day how many pounds of bananas to order from the supplier. Demand varies somewhat from day to day and if Jacob orders too many bananas, he will have to sell leftovers at a discount, if he orders too few bananas, customers will be dissatisfied and complain to his boss.   Jacob wants to set up a profit model in Excel to experiment with the number of pounds of bananas he should order each day.

Bananas are ordered (and assume delivered the same day) from the supplier each day and cost Jacob 15 cents per pound. They are sold for 69 cents a pound if sold the first day after delivery.  

Any bananas that are not sold the first day must be discounted to 39 cents per pound. Assume all bananas that are discounted will be sold at the lower price.

a. Set up an EXCEL spreadsheet in order to calculate profit for Jacob’s banana problem.

First day Demand and Order Quantity are separate unknown variables.  

You must use the Excel IF function in this model.

b. Using Excel Data/What-If/Data Table create a two way-table to show how profit changes with changes in First day demand and Quantity ordered. Use values of 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, and 200 for both variables in your table.

Problem: Find the speedup and efficiency that can be obtained with parallel computing, given the values of the time needed to complete the sequential part of the task (denoted by T_s), the time needed to complete the parallelizable part of the task with one processor (denoted by T_p), and the number of processors (denoted by N) in the first three columns of the following table, and report them in the last two columns of the table.

1. Suppose a public referendum is being held on whether or not to levy a tax on cigarettes. Currently, the supply of cigarettes is given by Qs = -100 + 6P. You estimate the demand for cigarettes to be Qd = 200 - 2P.

You are asked to evaluate the likely effects of a tax on cigarettes equal to $10 per pack of cigarettes. Specifically, you are to file a report which predicts by how much this will reduce the amount of cigarettes sold. You are also asked to estimate the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the cigarette companies (sellers), and the proportion of the tax that will be paid by the smokers (consumers) of cigarettes.

To do this, you will first need to calculate the current price and quantity of cigarettes sold.

a) (6 points) What is the equilibrium price and quantity of cigarettes?

Next you know from your economics class that you will need to know the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes. (Note: for parts b-e, please leave your answers in the form of a fraction.)

b) (6 points) What is the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes at the equilibrium price?

c) (6 points) What is the price elasticity of supply of cigarettes at the equilibrium price?

Using your answers to b) and c), you are now able to determine what proportion of the tax will be paid by buyers, and what proportion of the tax will be paid by sellers.

d) (6 points) What proportion of the tax will be paid by sellers?

e) (6 points) What price will buyers pay after the tax is imposed?

f) (6 points) What quantity of cigarettes will be sold after the tax?

Finally, a new proposal suggests that the tax should be levied on the cigarette companies instead of the smokers.

g) (6 points) From what you have learned in this class, how should you respond to this proposal?
