It is understandable why we have insurance to cover catastrophic losses. Not many of us have hundreds of thousands of dollars laying around. Interestingly, there are many individuals who have insurance to cover small expenses (i.e. dental. Vision). This will be the topic of this week’s discussion. First, discuss the reasons why a person would purchase insurance vs being self-insured. Next discuss why someone would choose to have coverage for a small claim. Be sure to briefly mention the three reasons listed in your textbook. Do you think the cost of the premium is worth it based upon how much it would cost out of pocket to get dental, vision, etc.?

Write REFLECTIVE JOURNAL on 5 news articles related to Macroeconomics, GDP and Unemployment, Economic models, Fiscal and Monetary policy, and Foreign exchange and BoP. These articles should have a Summary and a Reflection of the article according to your opinion in which you should also mention to which topic articles match. Each article should have 150 words for summary and 200 words for reflection. Also, add diagrams at the end of each article to justify your reflection and to give a better view of the concept. Each article should also include a link from where it is taken and also add details of the writer of that particular article with date and time when it was written and published.

How would the following factors affect Rf values in the separation of compounds by Thin-layer chromotrography?
a) Use of filter paper in the solvent chamber while developing a plate.
b) The solvent chamber has been shifted a few times while the plate is being developed.
c) Failed to cover the TLC chamber with a lid/watch glass while running the TLC plate.
d) A student is trying to determind a best solvent systme that would be seperate a three component mixture. After developing the plate, he couldn't detect any spots with the UV visualization. Mention two potential errors that could have goone wrong with his analysis.

Design a steam power plant that works as an ideal Regenerative Rankine cycle with 2 closed feedwater heaters cascaded backwards by selecting their extraction pressures to optimize cycle efficiency. The available steam conditions at the exit of the boiler are 3 MPa and 590 °C and the condenser pressure is 20 kPa. The steam flow rate at the inlet of the turbine is 80 kg/s. A T-s diagram for the cycle should be provided along with a table showing the pressure, temperature, enthalpy and entropy of all the states at the optimized point. Also, mention the net power output and rate of heat rejected from the cycle as well as the fractions of the working fluid extracted for each feedwater heaters at the design point.

Construct a portfolio taking into account the macro-economic outlook for whatever country and currency you invest in . Your portfolio must reflect the following factors. Why you prefer managed funds or exchange-traded funds, or a mixture of the two. For this exercise you can choose funds - of any type, but funds (not bonds, not stocks -except via funds). Describe the funds. Include a mention of costs and why you like the funds. At least 5 -7funds altogether.
You also need to match your asset allocation with your risk profile. You may add a structured product to your portfolio.Reference-Portable Private Banker byDr David Costa
