Background: Discuss a current event that has an impact on the economy. The economic impact can felt be local, country-wide, or world-wide. When discussing the economic impact, you should mention things such as (but not be limited to) any combination of the following: GDP, inflation, unemployment, monetary policy, fiscal policy, international trade. Include in your paper the source(s) and dates for where you got the story.
Economic impact: Describe the impact that this event has on the economy, positive or negative. For example, what is the impact of the event on GDP, unemployment, inflation, etc.?

Social impact: describe the social impact that this event has, positive or negative. For example, how does this event impact people's standard of living or quality of life, equity between different groups, employment opportunities?

Summary: Provide some final thoughts on the current event, including your own thoughts on this. Is this a good thing, bad thing, mixed bag? How does your learning from this class impact that way you view this current event, if at all?

Many of you are for a flat tax and others are against the flat tax. Selfishly, I am not a hater of the complicated tax code. As Scott mentioned, It provides job security for accountants. This should be a reason (for us) not to want a flat tax. Thousands of accountants would be out of their present job (not to mention majority of the IRS). Where would they go? The answer-to other accounting jobs (if they get so lucky). The flat tax would eliminate the need for accountants specializing in tax. Most of you are trying to be CPAs. Although you may not plan to do tax, many CPAs specialize in tax. In fact, tax work produces many accounting jobs. If there were a flat tax, a large percentage of these jobs would be gone. Those CPAs would need to branch into other areas of accounting. For job security, a little more complicated system is good for us. It will also hurt charities (which rely on donations by taxpayers trying to reduce taxes-would rather funds go to charity than government). What are your thoughts?

Summarize IFRS/GAAP differences from the following:

Differences • Presentation of the income statement under GAAP follows either a single-step or multiple-step format. IFRS does not mention a single-step or multiple-step approach.
• Under IFRS, companies must classify expenses by either nature or function. GAAP does not have that requirement, but the SEC requires a functional presentation.
• IFRS identifies certain minimum items that should be presented on the income statement. GAAP has no minimum information requirements. However, the SEC rules have more rigor-ous presentation requirements.
• IFRS does not define key measures like income from operations. SEC regulations define many key measures and provide requirements and limitations on companies reporting non-GAAP/ IFRS information.
• Under IFRS, revaluation of property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets is permitted, with gains reported as other comprehensive income. The effect of this difference is that applica-tion of IFRS results in more transactions affecting equity but not net income.

A certain drug induces sleep in 80% of people who consume it. One researcher argues that if it is mixed with another newly developed drug the percentage of effectiveness would be higher. To determine if he is right, he independently selects a random sample of 16 patients and records the number Y of cases in which the mixture induced sleep. The hypotheses for this test are:

H_0 ∶p = 0.80
 
H_a ∶p> 0.80

where p is the proportion of patients in which the mixture of drugs under study induces sleep.
a. If it is decided that the null hypothesis will be rejected if Y≥14, calculate the significance level α for this test.

b. The experiment is carried out and it is obtained that in y = 13 patients the drug mixture induces sleep.
    1.Calculate the p-value of this test.

    2.Infer if the null hypothesis is rejected and why, also mention what type of error could be made according to the inference.

c. Assuming that the true proportion of patients in which the drug mixture induces sleep is p = .85, calculate β, the probability of making a type II error.

You recently started an entry-level job in sales and customer service at a large Canadian telecom company. You were told by your manager that your company is offering a free, 30 day trial of “Fibe Alt TV,” and that you should be suggesting this to customers you talk to. However, you soon learn that this is not in fact a trial, and that customers only receive a free month if they continue the service. You believe that your manager is encouraging sales associates to intentionally mislead customers. You’ve talked with a friend at the company, and she has similar concerns. Imagine you want to raise your concern at your workplace, either to your manager or to someone else at the company.

Drawing on the work of Mary Gentile, specify and explain 2 rationalizations you may possibly encounter. How could you use knowledge of the ways our decision-making can be biased to better craft your response? This part of your answer should mention and explain at least 2 decision-making biases that Gentile considers.

I have been assigned a 3 page research paper into "active investment strategy" versus "passive investment strategy".

Our course's textbook has no direct mention of either after searching exhaustively, which means the research paper invites me to use other sources and any perspectives or angles to defining, giving examples of, and comparing the two strategies.

How would you define them? What topics would they encompass? I imagine passive strategies include ones with fewer steps and less oversight/watch needed, whereas active strategies involve any marketable securities like stocks where you might have to be making all sorts of security analysis and stock market watching. This is for a Fundamentals of Financial Management MBA course that basically goes over every kind of marketable security and every kind of asset.

Do you recommend any sources or databases or academic searches to make this concise 3 page paper?

Thank you for your time and help!
