The politicians believe that an automated future can generate enough taxes to provide a guaranteed income for all citizens. In fact, in 2017 Finland began an experiment in universal basic income where all 2000 participants receive $600 per month regardless of income, wealth and employment status.

Question 1: Using either the categorical imperative or utilitarianism, is universal basic income ethical? If so, is it appropriate? Why or why not?

Question 2: What other solutions can be developed to address the negative consequences of automation? Please elaborate?

Consider the following information, which are estimates as of mid-2019.

Consider the following information, which are estimates as of mid-2019.

For each country listed above, calculate r and how many people there will be in mid-2020 if population growth is exponential. Use the differential equation (dN/dt) for exponential population growth that was presented in Lecture.

The Enormous State University Public Relations Department has issued a statement claiming that 80% of those

who enroll at ESU graduate within 6 years. Being naturally skeptical, you decide to test their claim. You

interview 500 randomly selected people from the population that enrolled at ESU just over 6 years ago. Of

those 500, 360 have graduated.

a. What is the variable you are analyzing here? Of what sort is it? Who/what are the subjects?

b. What statistic can you compute from the sample?

c. Carefully write out the hypotheses for your test.

d. Run the test! Remember, if you use a normal approximation, you must justify it!

e. Give a “plain English” conclusion for your test.

f. If needed, give a 95% confidence interval for p, with an explanation. Remember the difference between CI and hypothesis testing calculations for

Suppose that the manager of the MileagePlus frequent flier program is promoted and consequently another individual is hired to replace him. Also suppose that United publishes in internal documentation that the average number of Premier Qualifying Miles (PQM) earned by individuals who travel for work at least once a month is 45,000 with a standard deviation of 5,000 miles. Further suppose that the new manager desires to test the claims that United has made to see if the statistics have changed.

a) First, are these statistics given by United describing the parent population or a sample ?

b) Define appropriate null and alternative hypothesis

c) Suppose that the new manager takes a sample of 50 such United customers. What is the probability that a sample of size 50 provides a sample mean within + - 1,000 miles of the 45,000 mile figure provided by United?

d) What is the probability that a sample of 50 such United customers provides a sample mean wiithin + - 500 miles?

e) Suppose that the new manager's sample has a sample average of 47,500 miles. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean.

f) Based on the confidence interval you computed in part e), does this sample provide evidence for or against United's claim that the average number of Premier Qualifying Miles (PQM) earned is 45,000 ?

g) If the new manager wants to determine a specific p-value for the likelihood that the null hypothesis is true based on the sample collected in part c), should he use Z- or t- scores for the test statistic?

h) Determine and interpret the p-value

Create a real or hypothetical question that could be addressed with positive analysis regarding a microeconomics issue that affects your household or your firm.

An example of a microeconomics question that could be addressed with positive analysis is:

“How would an increase in the Federal minimum wage to $12/hour increase impact the cost of childcare in the US?” An interesting follow-up question would be: “How will an increase in minimum wages affect decisions by working parents to use childcare services?” Microeconomics applies to these topics because they are concerned with actions of individual households and businesses and prices in individual markets (labor and childcare labor). These questions are not seeking an opinion, but rather seek to understand the potential consequences of an increase in wages for childcare workers.

According to the leverage measures that are conducted from looking at company's income statement and balance sheet, and comparing with the market averages; how can we decide whether to give long-term credit to the company?

long term debt ratio --> company = market average

long-term debt to equity ratio --> company = Market aver.

Total Debt Ratio --> Company worse than Market av.

Times Interest Earned --> Company worse than Market av.

Cash Coverage Ratio --> Company worse than Market average

Briefly Discuss.

As an individual who may want to consider sports management as a career, what steps would you take to ensure that athletes are not discriminated against due to age and ability?

1. Why is marketing ethics a strategic consideration in organizational decisions? Who is most important in managing marketing ethics: the individual or the firm’s leadership? Explain your answer.

ABC Company, Inc., has been in existence for 10 years. It has 50 employees and currently only one location. ABC Company manufactures one product: widgets. It has managed to stay in business by holding onto a small portion of the widget market, but it is far from the market leader. Over the last five years, ABC Company’s market share has stayed more or less stagnant. The president of the company is an older gentleman who mostly works from home. He makes decisions through meetings with his managers over the phone and is rarely seen at the company. Mid-level managers don't have much contact with each other and basically focus exclusively on their individual departments. The rest of the staff members are very distrustful of management, and there has recently been a lot of turnover. Outside of interoffice griping, there is rarely any company wide communication.
Recent economic developments and technological advances in the widget industry have resulted in a greater demand for widgets in emerging markets, as well as in the United States. In order to stay competitive, ABC Company is considering expanding its operation globally. ABC has come to you, an expert on organizational change, for consulting advice.

For this assignment, you will write up an overview of the company scenario above. You will also answer some overarching questions to identify the problems/challenges the company is dealing with, as well as who the key people and teams would be to successfully implement a potential change for the company to expand globally.

Feel free to use this template to help structure your case study analysis. Each of the required sections is listed below: Give a brief overview of the company. Identify several problems/challenges in order to better position ABC Company in the expansion of its operation globally. Who are the key people in making decisions and what are their roles? Why are they important? Explain. What teams/staff will need to be involved in the day to day work of this initiative? Why are they important? Explain. What does the team collaboration communication plan need to incorporate in order for the effort to expand globally? What does the timeline leading up to completion of an operation expanding globally look like? Identify 2–4 solutions that ABC Company will need to successfully implement in order to expand its operations globally. What assumptions did you use in providing for the solution(s) to expanding globally?
