Sarah prefers buying new books to used books. During her first year at school, she spends all her money ($500) on buying new textbooks. The price of new textbooks was $100 while the used books sold for $50 each. When the bookstore announces that there will be a 10% increase in the price of new books with no change in the price of old textbooks, Sarah's father offers her $50 extra to buy books. a) (5 points) What happens to Sarah's budget line? Illustrate the change with new books on the vertical axis. (write the budget equation and draw the budget line to back up your explanation) b) ( 5 points) Is Sarah worse or better off after the price change? Explain.

MIPS ASSEMBLY :

1) Code in MIPS a function that allows to store the text entered by the user in a 300-byte buffer. The function must return the actual size of the entered text in number of bytes. The text could contain lines, that is to say that the symbol '\ n' could be present. The end of reading is defined by both consecutive '\ n' '\ n' symbols.

2) Code in MIPS a function that helps identify if the character passed in parameter represents a Latin alphabet letter (26 letters of alphabet English) lowercase or uppercase.

A. Identify by scientific name the parasite causing these lesions and name the condition.

B. Based on the epidemiology of the life cycle, how did she become infected with this parasite?

C. How is this infection differ from intestinal infection?

D. What in the patient's history predisposes her to this infection?

Please describe some of the potential benefits to a multinational corporation of foreign direct investment? Nike has expanded its footwear production to Latin America. What do you think motivated them to do so? What are the potential non-financial benefits to the company that is being invested in? Do you think that multinational corporations should invest in countries with poor child labor laws? Why or why not? How does your response to that question relate to the responses to my previous questions?

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.

Immigration has been an inevitable aspect and predominant character of the American experience. There were multiple points of entry in the United States. Immigrants coming from Europe would be check at_______, immigrants coming from Latin America would be check at____, and immigrants from Asia would be check at____.

Go online and do some focused research on some specific human rights case. There are high profile cases (and they do not have to be current) like Elian Gonzalez, Malala, Syrian refugees (a dialog on how to solve this would be welcome).

No matter what you choose, be brief in your description of the case (Africa, Asia, US, Europe, Latin America, Mideast), focus on the controversial aspects of the case-- how it was resolved or not, and how it connects to issues.

answer must be more than 300 words.

The world greatest polluters are the US, China, India and Europe but the global South ( countries in the Central and Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia)  are suffering from from adverse effects of climate change like recurrent and high grade hurricanes, drought, rising water levels, and the gradual disappearance of biodiversity. People now write about the "Ecological Debt" that the West owes the Rest of the world.

QUESTION 1) Is it possible for the developed world to  remedy the damages it incurred to the rest of the developing world? If no, why not? If yes, how?

The town of Charlotte recently started a single-stream recycling program. The town provided 60-gallon recycling bins to 25 randomly selected households and 75-gallon recycling bins to 22 randomly selected households. The total volume of recycling over a 10-week period was measured for each of the households. The average total volumes were 382 and 415 gallons for the households with the 60- and 75-gallon bins, respectively. The sample standard deviations were 52.5 and 43.8 gallons, respectively. Assume that the 10-week total volumes of recycling are approximately normally distributed for both groups and that the population standard deviations are equal. Using a test statistic of -2.321 and a 2% significance level, can you conclude that the average 10-week recycling volume of all households having 60-gallon containers is different from the average volume of all households that have 75-gallon containers?

Then reconsider the town of Charlotte's recycling program. If we assume that the population standard deviations are different, we will have a test statistic of -2.348. We will also now have 44 degrees of freedom. Re-test the hypothesis given these calculations.

These are sample two population t-tests. Please show ALL the work up to the answers.
