In the US, people die because they do not have private health insurance or their insurance does not cover the treatments they need. A 2009 Harvard study published in the American Journal of Public Health found more than 44,800 excess deaths annually in the United States due to Americans lacking health insurance, equivalent to one excess death every 12 minutes. More broadly, the total number of people in the United States, whether insured or uninsured, who die because of lack of medical care was estimated in a 1997 analysis to be nearly 100,000 per year.

1. In the early eighties, under the Reagan administration, macroeconomic policies in the United States were characterized by relatively expansionary fiscal policy (fueled by increased defense spending and tax cuts) and very tight monetary policy. Compared to an alternative policy mix which produced the same level of Y using more expansionary monetary policy and more contractionary fiscal policy. Contrast the two different policy mixes graphically and in words. Explain what effects you would expect such policy mixes to have on each of the following:
   1. Interest rates in the United States.
   2. The real exchange rate of the U.S. dollar.
   3. The current account of the U.S. balance of payments.

Chap. 6:- Honda was the first Japanese auto manufacturer to produce cars in the United States. At that time there was much skepticism as to whether U.S. workers could adapt to the Japanese emphasis on high quality. Honda has succeeded in the United States, and other Japanese auto manufacturers have followed. At Honda, why is it so important to plan ahead, as much as five years, for quality of vehicle models? How is the design process related to quality management? What is the role of the PDCA cycle at Honda ? Why does Honda produce new and old models simultaneously? What is “quality fatigue”? How does Honda address it in its plant?

1. The United States military has a presence around the world, from Embassies, bases in foreign countries, and detachments linked with allied nations’ military. Likewise, there are private security contractors worldwide, both in places with a U.S. military presence, as well as places with little to no U.S. military presence. In a 500-word response, differentiate between the role of private security contractors operating outside the United States with the role of military personal outside U.S. borders. Compare and contrast their roles in operational areas where the U.S. is engaged in armed conflicts, such as the Global War on Terrorism, Iraq, and Afghanistan, as well as in areas where no formal conflict exists.

For this discussion board I want you to give a close read of the two different perspectives presented under the heading “Who Rules the United States?” So, you will read about functionalism or pluralism and conflict theory or the power elite. Offer an overview of the functionalist perspective and the conflict perspective about who rules the United States. Start with definitions that are pertinent according to your text. Make sure to cite and reference using APA style. Then, explain how each of the perspectives could in fact be correct. Offer evidence or examples that show how correct the perspective is. Finally, which perspective makes the most sense to you and why?

One of the major problems with front office accounting at the Royal Crest Hotel is monitoring guest and non-guest accounts using their manual system. Management has always extended local businesses and government officials charge privileges, the idea being that, with the convenience of deferred payments, local patrons would be more likely to dine and/or host clients at the hotel. This program has proved to be highly successful. The volume of purchases charged to such non-guest accounts now approximates the level of sales incurred by registered guests. Unsure if this is a good or bad situation, Mr. Osei, the front office manager, requests the front office accounting staff to study the problem and to report its findings at next week's front office meeting. At the weekly front office meeting, the hotel's accountant, Ms. Pokua, reports that there are at least three problems related to the hotel's non- guest charge purchasing policies: its impact on the daily hotel audit, the billing procedures to collect payment, and the number of applications for additional non-guest accounts. When asked to be more specific, she begins with a review of the daily hotel audit. She states that since the front office receives charge vouchers from the hotel's revenue centers, it is the front desk agent's responsibility to separate guest from non-guest accounts. Since registered guest charges are posted by room number, one would think it easy to sort those charges from the others. Unfortunately, both the hotel's guest account numbers and the non-guest account numbers are three digits, thereby making the sorting more time-consuming. Mr. Osei asks if it is really necessary to separate the charges. Ms. Pokua explains that it is, since the hotel must maintain accurate guest folio Page 2 of 1 G. N. Baah balances. She further states that the non-guest vouchers are accumulated and posted on Saturday afternoons, when the hotel's business is less hectic. The billing procedures to collect non-guest account balances are tricky, Ms. Pokua said. Since the hotel bills non-guest accounts on the last day of each month, some charges occurring in a particular month may not be posted in time to appear on that month's bill. In addition, non-guest accounts usually are not paid in time. In fact, 47 percent of last month's non-guest account balances remain unpaid and tomorrow is the date of the next billing cycle. Mr. Osei explains that the local customers are important to the hotel and suggests that maybe Ms. Pokua is over-sensitive to the billing problems. Lastly, Ms. Pokua relates the fact that there are at least ten new applications for non-guest accounts. She has instructed her staff not to authorize any new non-guest accounts without her written approval. She further states that she is reluctant to authorize any additional non-guest accounts, and looks to Mr. Osei for advice. Convinced of the positive aspects of such business, Mr. Osei directs her to approve the requests and to assign account numbers effective the first day of next month. Ms. Pokua so instructs her staff. a. What ideas (any two) would you suggest to facilitate a more effective processing of guest and non- guest charge vouchers? b. How might the daily audit be aided by such changes? c. Is the accumulated-postings routine for non-guest accounts an effective plan? Explain your response. d. What could be done to improve the hotel's billing of non-guest accounts? e. What could be done to improve collection of outstanding balances? State any four (4). f. What are the two (2) advantages and two (2) disadvantages to having a high volume of non- guest accounts? NOTE; PLEASE I NEED DIFFERENT ANSWERS.
