You run a school in Florida. Fixed monthly cost is $5,290.00 for rent and utilities, $6,345.00 is spent in salaries and $1,249.00 in insurance. Also every student adds up to $95.00 per month in stationary, food etc. You charge $666.00 per month from every student now. You are considering moving the school to another neighborhood where the rent and utilities will increase to $10,038.00, salaries to $6,096.00 and insurance to $2,264.00 per month. Variable cost per student will increase up to $163.00 per month. However you can charge $1,172.00 per student. At what point will you be indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option?

If you were president and wanted to gather support for a new foreign policy initiative, which three U.S. foreign policy actors would you approach and why? What do you think is the most advantageous school of thought for the United States to follow in foreign policy in the future? American Government class

Complete the table below asking for a “snapshot” description of each of the four macroeconomic
schools of thought we discussed this semester:

Load the package nycflights13 with library(nycflights13). If you are on running R Studio locally, you must install this package before you can use it!

# install.packages("nycflights13")
library(nycflights13)
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

data(flights)
data(airports)
data(airlines)

Question 2

The dataset `airlines` contains the full name of the carrier (examine it!). Join the dataset with the flights dataset so all of the information in `flights` is retained. Using the merged dataset, which carrier (`name`) has the longest average departure delay? Which has the shortest?

A Cournot oligopoly consists of four firms, each with a marginal cost of production of MC=10. The market demand curve is given by Q=(100-P)/3 . The four firms are looking to merge into a single firm so they can increase their profit margin by taking advantage of scale economies. Suppose that after the merger, market demand remains the same but the marginal cost of production of the merged firm decreases to MC=4.

26. What is the change in net social welfare resulting from the merger?

      A. -$144

      B. $2,500

      C. -$850

      D. $380

      E.   $0

a. Develop a divide-and-conquer algorithm to perform a parallel merge sort of an array. Hint: After division, each process sorts its part of the array using an efficient algorithm. Then, the subarrays are merged into larger sorted subarrays. b. Analyze the communication and computation times if the number of processes is equal to the number of array elements, n. c. Repeat Part b if the number of processes is less than the number of array elements. Assume that the computation time for the sequential sorting algorithm employed is proportional to m log(m), where m is the number of elements being sorted.

Typhoon Foods, Inc. is considering expansion into Latin America. The CEO of Typhoon has come to you for a recommendation on the best market expansion approach.

Choose one of the market expansion approaches we discussed in class (E-Commerce, Licensing, Franchising, FDI, or Joint Venture). Explain what that expansion approach is in your own words and make a strong argument for why it is the best approach. Do a comparison / contrast with at least one other expansion approach.
