Write multiple if statements:
If carYear is before 1967, print "Probably has few safety features." (without quotes).
If after 1971, print "Probably has head rests.".
If after 1991, print "Probably has anti-lock brakes.".
If after 2002, print "Probably has airbags.".
End each phrase with period and newline. Ex: carYear = 1995 prints:

Probably has head rests.
Probably has anti-lock brakes.

public class SafetyFeatures {
public static void main (String [] args) {
int carYear;

carYear = 1991;

In your view, what are the most significant obstacles or challenges hindering the development and implementation of truly reliable and interoperable public safety or emergency communications systems among all jurisdictions, disciplines, agencies and level of governments? What would you recommend in terms of a single, overarching policy or approach to achieve this goal, or at least facilitate significant progress?Do you think any progress has been made in this area since events like the Oklahoma City Bombing of 1995, the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, Hurricane Katrina, or other major disasters? Why or why not?

Problem I:10-55 from the textbook (revised to include additional research).

The Morris Corporation is a very successful and profitable manufacturing corporation. The corporation just completed leasehold improvements of its corporate offices, primarily for its top executives. The president and founder of the corporation, Mr. Timothy Couch, is an avid collector of artwork and has instructed that the lobby and selected offices be decorated with rare collections of art. These expensive works of art were purchased by the corporation in accordance with Couch's directives. Couch justified the purchase of these works of art on the premise that (1) they are excellent investments and should increase in value in the future, (2) they provide an appropriate and impressive atmosphere when current and prospective customers visit the corporation's offices, and (3) the artwork is depreciable property and the corporation will be able to take sizable write-offs against income. The financial vice-president of the corporation has requested your advice as to the depreciability of the leasehold improvements and the art. Prepare a research memorandum for the financial vice-president on this issue. Include a discussion on the different depreciation methods permitted and the availability of those methods of depreciation for leaseholds and the art.

Simpson's Paradox, Derek -vs- David: Averaging across categories can be misleading but this can be resolved with weighted averages.

In baseball, the batting average is defined as the number of hits divided by the number of times at bat. Below is a table for the batting average for two different players for two different years.

The number in parentheses gives the number of times at bat for each player for each year.

Business Ethics, book Velasquez 7th edition, pg.113

People in West African countries, among the poorest in the world, survive on $ 1 a day and have a life expectancy of 46 years. But in 2004, Equatorial Guinea had a GDP ( Gross Domestic Product) of $ 4,472 per person, the highest in West Africa. In 1995, Equatorial Guinea found oil off its coast, and by 2004 ExxonMobil, Amerada Hess, and Marathon Oil all U. S. oil companies were helping that West African country produce $ 4 billion of oil revenues a year. Equatorial Guineas inexperienced government agreed to give 80 percent of these revenues to the oil companies that drilled the oil for them, although oil companies in developing nations usually take about 50 percent of revenues from oil projects. The oil companies channel through Riggs Bank, a 2004 Senate report revealed hundreds of millions of dollars to Equatorial Guineas president, T. Nguema, and his family for land purchases, security services, and office leases. A Department of Energy report says that because Nguema and his family run the government, the 20 percent of oil revenues that go to the government are spent on lavish personal expenditures, and so most oil money is concentrated in the hands of top government officials while the majority of the population remains poor. If Nguema had not been paid, of course, the Equatorial Guinea government would never have approved the oil project. ExxonMobil says it has spent $ 4 million and Marathon Oil and Amerado Hess claim to have invested millions of dollars on schools, libraries, programs for malaria, polio, and AIDS, health clinics, bridges, waterways, and electricity. A U. S. human rights report says Equatorial Guineas government violates citizens rights of free speech, of the press, of assembly, of due process, of association, of religion, and of movement and uses torture, beatings, and other physical abuse against political opponents.

1. What would utilitarianism, rights theory, and justice say about ExxonMobil, Amerada Hess, and Marathon Oil activities in Equatorial Guinea?

What would utilitarianism, rights theory, and justice say about these activities of Exxon Mobile, Amerada Hess, and Marathon Oil in Equatorial Guinea?

This is a question for which there is unlikely a unique set of answers.   Instead the value of an answer will depend upon its validity and support.    For each of the four reasons you identify below you are required to provide a citation that is not from a textbook, but is from a credible source. If your reasons are based on a graphical argument, you must include the graph, appropriately cited, in a graphic in your submitted answer.

a. Provide two reasons why you would argue that monopolies or firms with market power (i.e. facing downward sloping demand curves) are a positive impact on society and the economy.  

b. Also provide two reasons why you would argue that monopolies or firms with market power (i.e. facing downward sloping demand curves) are a negative impact on society and the economy.
