This is a written assignment that you must conduct exploratory research on how the government internalizes negative externality (you only need one market or one product or one activity).

Recall negative externalities occur in many markets; for example, oil production, manufacturing, transportation, and smoking, etc.

Please make sure that:

1. You clearly identify the market (product or activity) that causes negative externalities, which means the negative externalities must be also well defined. These could be shown with good statistics and proper in-text citations (and references.)

2. You are to write a summary of the policy implemented in the market of your choice. Again, properly if you use any direct quotes or statistics from the sources, you must cite the sources properly.

3. You then will upload your short exploratory paper in a word document or pdf file to Canvas.

The research should not exceed 2 pages (double-spacing), excluding the abstract and reference page, and you must have at least two outside sources for your writing.  A successful paper requires you to perform research, craft an argument, and cite references to support your statements. I might ask for you to show me the sources you use, so please have them available.  

The following cross-tabulation shows household income by the educational level of the head of the household (Statistical Abstract of the United States, 2008).

a. Develop the joint probability table below.

b. What is the probability of a head of household not being a high school graduate?

c. What is the probability of a head of household having a bachelor’s degree or more education?

d. What is the probability of a household headed by someone with a bachelor’s degree earning $100,000 or more?

e. What is the probability of a household having income below $25,000?

f. What is the probability of a household headed by someone with a bachelor’s degree earning less than $25,000?

g. Is household income independent of educational level? Clearly show your work in the space below.

Assignment: Examining Business Strategy and the Five Forces Model: The Challenges Facing eBay; Time for Changes in Strategy? This week we look at strategic thinking in the business environment. Your assignment this week is to: 1. First, research, and create, a Porter’s Five Forces Model of eBay in either Visio, Excel, of PowerPoint format. Use external sources to assist in populating your model. Next, report and analyze your findings, touching on the following questions; 1. What does your five forces analysis reveal about the nature and strength of the various competitive pressures eBay faces? Are the competitive pressures facing eBay and other online auction company’s conducive to earning good profits? Why or why not? 2. Based on your analysis of the industry and eBay’s situation, what problems and issues does eBay’s top management need to address? Which ones are top priorities? 3. What do you see as the key success factors for firms in the online auction industry? You are to use, and cite, no less than 3 outside sources for your report portion. This will be in APA format and a minimum of 2 pages. That is, the BODY of your paper is to be a minimum of 2 pages. Title pages, Abstract and resource pages do not count to the total.

This assignment provides an opportunity to get some hands-on experience exploring sustainable finance, on balancing of shareholders and stakeholders value of companies. In fulfillment of the sixth course learning objective “Explore the role of financial management in promoting sustainable business practices and development (Overall grade)”. The main objective of this assignment is to equip students with the necessary theoretical and practical tools used in business and financial sustainable analysis and integrated reporting.

.

The assignment should include an abstract, introduction, conceptual building of sustainable financial management and sustainable financial growth, results and discussions sections, the project should also include conclusion section.

1. Examining the existing various corporate sustainable reporting disclosure and how they contributes to shared value creation and firms value.

2. Improving financial decision making by linking sustainability issues to financial decisions and key value drivers, such as capital budgeting, the cost of capital, profitability, working capital management and investment returns.

3. How to evaluate corporate sustainability risks and opportunities from a financial perspective, and understand how to manage/mitigate risks.

4. Understanding the interactions between sustainability practices and sustainable financial growth

5. Analyzing different financial systems such as western financing model and Islamic financing in the area sustainability.

6. Analyzing and prediction of corporate bankruptcy and sustainable growth.

1. Please perform reverse engineering to compose a UML class diagram for the provided java code

}
}

/* Using the Car example */
public class CarExample {
public static void main(final String[] arguments) {
Car sedanCar = new Sedan();
sedanCar.applyBrake(); // This will invoke class "Brake"

Car suvCar = new SUV();
suvCar.applyBrake(); // This will invoke class "BrakeWithABS"

// set brake behavior dynamically
suvCar.setBrakeBehavior( new Brake() );
suvCar.applyBrake(); // This will invoke class "Brake"

Is there a relation between police protection and fire protection? A random sample of large population areas gave the following information about the number of local police and the number of local fire-fighters (units in thousands). (Reference: Statistical Abstract of the United States.)

Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that there is a monotone relationship (either way) between the ranks of number of police and number of firefighters.

(a) Rank-order police using 1 as the largest data value. Also rank-order firefighters using 1 as the largest data value. Then construct a table of ranks to be used for a Spearman rank correlation test.

(c) Compute the sample test statistic. (Use 3 decimal places.)

LP3 Assignment: Milestone 3:

Communications, Negotiations and Strategy Formation This assignment will assess competencies 3.

Develop effective cross-cultural communications and negotiation skills to be used in a multinational setting and 4. Develop strategy formulation and implementation for management in multicultural organizations.

Directions

We will continue to work on the due diligence analyses of the three countries chosen in LP1. For each of your chosen countries

3. Developed Country: Australia

, you will write up an analysis of the impact of communications and negotiations with the U.S. while doing business. Your analysis will be based on chapters 7 and 8 of your text, and information from websites and other research. You should also address the strategy you would choose to enter each country and explain your rationale. Also, discuss any areas of concern you may encounter with your business dealings with each of your countries. You will follow APA (6the edition) formatting (no abstract is required for this milestone) with title and reference pages, indented paragraphs and a minimum of four APA formatted references and associated in-text citations.

Which of the following is a motivation for passing functions around in Java?

Select one:

a. Compiled code with anonymous functions is smaller in size than with explicit functions.

(INCORRECT)b. Passing functions as objects around and applying them is significantly less complex than writing the logic for those algorithms directly.

c. It is the only way for the class to allow clients to access data that is otherwise private.

If we define a class as follows: public class Foo<T extends Bar> { }

Which of the following is a fact that we know about T? Select all that apply.

Select one or more:

c. T objects have access to all of the public methods defined in Bar.

d. T must be Bar or a class that inherits from Bar, directly or indirectly.

Which of the following is an advantage to using an interface as opposed to an abstract class?

Select one:
