3) Globalization increasingly defined much of America’s social and economic life around the turn of the millennium.

(A) Explain how and why processes of globalization accelerated during the 1990s and 2000s. Include immigration in your answer and discuss how it changed American culture.

(B) Summarize the benefits and drawbacks of globalization as the United States advances into the twenty-first century.

During the early 1990s, Japan experienced deflation and real GDP was below potential GDP. Draw a diagram showing the situation in Japan. Suppose the Japanese central bank decided that it had to reinflate and set a target inflation rate of 2 percent. How would it accomplish this? Show the short-run, medium-run, and long-run effects.

After reading answer the questions.

General Hospital knew they had a problem with duplicate health records and needed to clean up the MPI before the implementation date for the EHR in order to get the best results. A consulting firm was hired, and a review of the data confirmed this problem finding 3,000 potential duplicate health records issued over the past five years. The hospital started the MPI clean-up process by educating their patient registration staff on proper search strategies, questions to ask the patient, the importance of a unit health record, and other related topics. This education was an important first step so that additional duplicate health records would not be assigned while the clean-up process was occurring. Once the training was complete, the consulting firm began cleaning up the MPI. The consultants reviewed the potential duplicate health records and merged the records where appropriate. They also ensured the health records were merged in other information systems used throughout the healthcare facility. They provided documentation to General Hospital showing which health records were and were not duplicates based on their review.

What would you include in the training and why?

What role can the consultants play in the MPI clean-up? Is there any role they should not play and should delegate off to the hospital? Why or why not?

Why did the facility find itself in this situation? What could they have done to prevent it and what should they do moving forward?

Consider the following premerger information about a bidding firm (Firm B) and a target firm (Firm T). Assume that both firms have no debt outstanding.

Firm B has estimated that the value of the synergistic benefits from acquiring Firm T is $9,400.

a. If Firm T is willing to be acquired for $18 per share in cash, what is the NPV of the merger? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

NPV           $

b. What will the price per share of the merged firm be assuming the conditions in (a)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Share price           $

c. If Firm T is willing to be acquired for $18 per share in cash, what is the merger premium? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Merger premium           $

d. Suppose Firm T is agreeable to a merger by an exchange of stock. If B offers one of its shares for every two of T's shares, what will the price per share of the merged firm be? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Price per share           $

e. What is the NPV of the merger assuming the conditions in (d)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

If you have downloaded the source code from this book's companion web site, you will find the following files in the Chapter 07 folder: • GirlNames.txt--This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to girls born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009. • BoyNames.txt--This file contains a list of the 200 most popular names given to boys born in the United States from the year 2000 through 2009. Write a program that reads the contents of the two files into two separate lists, allows a user to input either a girl's name, a boy's name, or both, then tells the user whether the name(s) was/were popular between 2000 and 2009. First, the program should prompt the user to choose a girl's name, a boy's name, or both by entering either 'girl', 'boy', or 'both.' Once they have chosen, they should be able to input a name. If the name was a popular name, like Jacob or Sophia, the program should print "Jacob was a popular boy's name between 2000 and 2009." or "Sophia was a popular girl's name between 2000 and 2009." If the name was not a popular name, like Voldemort, the program should print "Voldemort was not a popular boy's name between 2000 and 2009." If the user chooses to input both a girl and boy's name, ask for the boy's name, then the girl's name, and print two statements in the form mentioned above on two separate lines, with the statement about the boy's name coming first. For example, if the user inputs Voldemort and then Sophia, print: Voldemort was not a popular boy's name between 2000 and 2009. Sophia was a popular girl's name between 2000 and 2009.

My code is working perfectly on boy and girl but it only reads that a name was not popular for boy and girl when running both.

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of an adjoining community. A political study took a sample of 12001200 voters in the town and found that 26%26% of the residents favored construction. Using the data, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is not equal to 29%29%. Testing at the 0.050.05 level, is there enough evidence to support the strategist's claim?
