1. As I threatened in class, this question is about Jerome Powell’s appearance before Congress on Tuesday. He has indicated that he will continue to raise rates in the same gradual pattern set by Janet Yellen. He has indicated that he will likely raise rates three times this year.   Suppose he decides to raise interest rates at the end of March.
   1. What is happening in the market for money when the Fed pursues the monetary policy above? Use the simple model of the supply and demand for money to show what is happening. Remember:
      1. Clearly state the policy change.
      2. Clearly draw and label a graph that shows the change.
      3. Clearly state what happens to the equilibrium interest rate and the quantity of money.

2. What happens in the market for money after the Fed changes interest rates?
   1. Clearly state what is happening in the economy after the Fed pursues the policy in question 1a and why that affects the market for money.
   2. Clearly draw and label a graph that shows the change.
   3. Clearly state what happens to the equilibrium interest rate and the quantity of money.

3. How does this change (in question 1b) play out over time? Does it happen immediately or over time? What does this mean for the policy change the Fed is trying to pursue in question 1a? Does the policy have an effect in the short run? How about in the long run?

4. Now turn to bond markets and explain how the CBF’s policy change will affect the equilibrium price and quantity of bonds.
   1. Clearly state WHY the Fed’s policy will have an effect on bond markets.
   2. Clearly draw and label graphs that shows this change.
   3. Clearly state what happens to the equilibrium price and interest rate in bond markets.

5. How does this change (in question 1d) play out over time? Does it happen immediately or over time? What does this mean for the policy change the Fed is trying to pursue in question 1d? Does the policy have an effect in the short run? How about in the long run?

1. Describe each section of "Facial Expressions Suggest a Core Set of Emotions". How do long time periods of stress affect our physical health? What is your opinion about this topic? Have you ever experienced prolonged stress, and if so, did you feel the effects physically? Discuss

The research question and objectives are fundamental considerations when developing research projects. In this discussion you should: Define business research Explore the differences between basic and applied research. What makes business and management research different from basic research? Explain how you would generate and refine research ideas? Identify particular business topics which are of interest to you and detail how you would go about conducting a project in this area.

Answer these in detail:

1) What is the difference between an Ingroup and an Outgroup? Give an example.

2) Explain Stereotype Threat. Give an example.

3) Discuss the 3 components of prejudice. Give examples.

4) How are personal, institutional and cultural discrimination different? Give 3 examples of each.

5) What is the Melting Pot Ideal and why has it been replaced by the Multicultural Ideal. Explain in detail.

Describe how you would determine, using the van der Waals equation of state, the temperature of a real gas mixture of 3 gasses (A,B and C) given the pressure P in the container, the mass of each gas m_A, m_B, m_C, and the volume v of the container. You also have access to the critical properties (T_CA, T_CB, T_CC, P_CA, P_CB, P_CC) and molar masses (M_A, M_B, M_C,) of each gas. Use these variables and list all equations and steps in order with enough detail so someone else who has no knowledge of this course could solve the problem using your steps.

Answer all 4 of the questions/topics:

Each response must be at least 200-300 words.

1. Communication

Describe and explain the importance of a good integrated information & communication system. What is the importance of communication between departments and what negative impact can a poor system of communication have for a hotel? Discuss 2 important forms of integrated PMS/Communication systems or examples of data information.

2. Future of Hotels

Imagine the hotel room of the future (10 years from now). What does the room look like? What technologies exist in the room? How does it improve the guest experience? What needs and expectations will the future guest have for Accommodation properties? In light of recent health issues what steps will the Accommodations Industry need to address to gain consumer confidence? What will the long term outcome of the industry be after crisis is cleared?

3. Housekeeping

Discuss the importance of the Housekeeping Department. Why is the Rooms Division the greatest asset of the owners? How will you deal with staffing due to lower occupancy? What steps will housekeeping need to take in order to protect our guests and our staff moving forward after the current health crisis?

4. Guest Service

Describe/Explain the following Service Recovery Model and provide an example from the Accommodation Industry for each section. Remember: As discussed in class we have to assess the Fault & Severity. Following this chart answer the following question: -How will you drive business to your hotel once crisis is over?

How will you attract business to your hotel once crisis is over?

It has been said that technology will be the end of management. Maybe. How about artificial intelligence? Explain why yes, no, under what considerations.

2.    Let us say, you have $ 100, 000.00. Would you buy gold with it, or use it on starting a business? Explain the logic of your decision.

3. It is said that net cash flow is the same as economic profit. How is it? Explain your logic.

4. Explain the logic of Supply Chain to an organization, and to the economy.

Boltzmann Statistics

A molecule has three degenerate excited vibrational states, each with excitation energy above the ground state

a) At temperature T, what is the ratio between the number of molecules in (all of) these excited vibrational states and the number in the ground state?

b) At very high T, what is this ratio?

c) Assume you have N distinguishable molecules of this type. Use the free energy to compute the

entropy S/k of the system at temperature T.

d) Compute the number of microstates in the equilibrium macrostate at high temperatures and

explain why your answer makes sense.

As a process executes, it changes states. Explain what are ready state, running state, and waiting state. Also, describe when a process moves between these three states
