1. Advanced skiers turn by sliding the backs of their skis across the snow. Since the fronts of their skis don’t move much, the skis end up pointed in a new direction.

a. The amount of sideways force that a skier must exert on the skis to slide them sideways is proportional to how hard the skis press down on the snow beneath them. Why?

b. Less skilled skiers sometimes turn without unweighting—they push their skis sideways so hard that the skis slide anyway. This technique is exhausting. Why does it require so much work?

c. Why is wax used on skis? Why wouldn’t WD-40 work as well as the wax? What is in WD-40?

my program should work for ANY NUMBER OF WORKERS..after all worker gross and net pay have been calculated, you should display the total number of workers, the total gross pay, and the total net pay.

Employee ID

Employee Name

The number of hours worked

The Employees hourly wage…

i used while loop

EmpName= input(str("PLease enter Employee name: or press -1 to exit: "))

while EmpName != "-1":

EmpID= input("Enter Employee ID: ")

how do i write this in a list form? if i enter 5 employee names, the program has to calcalate how many employees and total pays?

pls help

thanks

List three pieces of more specific advice given about how to avoid anger.

According to the Stoics, what is a major reason that people are unhappy?

Before you begin your program: Create a text file in your project folder with 20 "quirky sayings"/fortunes (the only requirement is that they be appropriate for display in class), In your program you will Create a list by reading those 20 fortunes from your file Ask the user how many fortunes he/she wants to see. store the value in a variable Inside of a loop (loop as many times as the user asked) select a random answer from your list of fortunes wait for the user to press the enter key (the easy way is to use the Scanner's nextLine method) Note that it is quite possible that you will see some fortunes more than once while not seeing some at all.

Part 1: understanding the AS-AD framework

Understand how aggregate supply and aggregate demand determine macroeconomic equilibrium.

1) Draw AD and AS curves where macroeconomic equilibrium occurs at an output of $25 trillion. On your graph, indicate the equilibrium price level (you can assign an exact value). Indicate on the graph where macroeconomic equilibrium occurs. Make sure to label each part of the graph.

Part 2: applying the AS-AD framework

Evaluate the forces that shape the total quantity of goods and services that purchasers want to buy.

Evaluate the forces that shape the total quantity of goods and services that businesses want to supply.

2-1) For each of the following, using a graph to show the shift in aggregate demand and explain your reasoning.

a) How do poor numbers from several economic indicators (for example, today the retail sales for March 2020 were much lower and the manufacturing numbers were also lower) affect businesses?

b) Congress passes the relief package of $2 trillion dollars (Payment Protection Plan) and the Fed promised to add additional $2.3 trillion dollars the payments.

c) The U.S. government eliminates the tariffs it charges on goods imported from China (like recently medical supplies).

2-2) Illustrate how each of the following will impact aggregate supply and explain your reasoning.

a) The implementation of artificial intelligence in manufacturing.

b) The novel Coronavirus has put tens of millions workers out of work.

c) The U.S. dollar depreciates relative to the Chinese yuan.

2-3) Forecast how the economy will respond to changing conditions.

a) To combat the current recession, the U.S. government enacts expansionary fiscal policy (well, although the U.S. did announce some infrastructure projects, the example here isn't really a fact, I'm making up this policy for you to practice with the model.), which increase government spending by $2 trillion dollars. Illustrate the impact of this expansionary fiscal policy on the U.S. economy using an AS-AD graph. How will the price level change?

b) The Fed quickly announced a rate cut (the federal funds rate) to basically zero on March 13 amid concerns of a looming recession due to the novel Coronavirus. And the latest data on consumer confidence and business confidence dropped significantly. Forecast how prices and output will change by drawing an AS-AD graph, and explain your answers.

The registered nurse at the local middle school is responsible for health promotion and disease prevention of the seventh and eighth grade students. The nurse provides screenings and illness care as well as assurance that immunizations are up to date with documentation on file. Nurses who work with the school population are aware of their significant influence on the students and the importance of teaching ways to develop and maintain good health habits at a young age. Nurses hope the students will carry the information home and have an influence on the health of the families as well.

1. The mother of a 13-year-old boy approaches the school nurse because she is concerned about her son’s weight. She states that she approached his pediatrician about the issue and felt dismissed. The nurse assesses the height and weight of the boy and determines that he is above the 95th percentile for his age. What are the next steps for the school nurse?

a. Educate about a healthy diet but tell the mother that her son is too young to be concerned about his weight.

b. Place the student on a diet and exercise plan with a goal of losing 2 to 3 lb per week.

c. Educate about a healthy diet and physical activity and instruct the mother that her son should maintain his current weight while he continues to increase his height.

d. Inform the mother that she should have been more concerned before her son reached puberty.

2. The school nurse provides education to the students about injury prevention measures. What educational topic is shared with the middle school age?

a. Bicycle safety

b. Poisoning prevention

c. Violence

d. Motor vehicle safety

3. A student presents to the nurses’ office with a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting. What is the primary role of the nurse in delivering emergent care to the child?

a. Call the parents to obtain phone consent for treatment.

b. Provide emergency care and then inform the parents.

c. Call the child’s primary care physician to obtain orders.

d. Send the student to the nearest emergency department.

4. A parent who fails to ensure that their child attends school is exhibiting

a. acts of commission.

b. psychological abuse.

c. acts of demission.

d. acts of omission.

A parent company acquired 100 percent of the stock of a subsidiary company on January 1, 2013, for $800,000. On this date, the balances of the subsidiary’s stockholders’ equity accounts were Common Stock, $50,000, Additional Paid-in Capital, $55,000, and Retained Earnings, $195,000. On the acquisition date, the excess was assigned to the following AAP assets:

The Goodwill asset has been tested annually for impairment, and has not been found to be impaired.

Assume that the parent company sells inventory to its wholly owned subsidiary. The subsidiary, ultimately, sells the inventory to customers outside of the consolidated group. You have compiled the following data for the years ending 2015 and 2016:

The inventory not remaining at the end of a given year is sold to unaffiliated entities outside of the consolidated group during the next year. The parent uses the cost method of pre-consolidation Equity Investment bookkeeping.

The financial statements of the parent and its subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2016, follow:

a. BOY [ADJ] for consolidation at December 31, 2016

b. Consolidating entries

About a decade ago, the incoming Republicans in the House of Representatives said they would institute a new practice. They could decide to do this because they were in the majority. The plan was that, before a new session began, Republican members would read the US Constitution aloud. (I’m sure that part of the motive was patriotism, but I think it’s also fair to say that their implicit suggestion was that many laws the previous Democratic majority had passed were unconstitutional. Certain unfortunate parts of the full Constitution were to be omitted, I think.)

The Democrats then asked to participate in the reading, and that’s what happened in the end -- various members of both parties stepped up to the podium and read each section of the Constitution.

Consider the following game. Its moves are made sequentially, and so it is easiest to represent it as a tree. There are two players - the group of House Republicans and the group of House Democrats. The Republicans decide whether to announce the practice of reading the Constitution or to not announce that. If they do not announce it, the game ends and the parties receive certain payoffs. Announcing it means that they’ll do it. If the Republicans do announce the new practice, the Democrats decide whether to request to join them in the reading, or to not request that. If the Democrats do not request that the game ends and the parties receive certain payoffs. If the Democrats do request that, then the Republicans decide whether to let the Democrats join the reading, or not to let them. In either case the game ends, with certain payoffs.

(a) Draw the tree, labeling the players and the moves. You can call the moves A, NA, for announce and not announce the plan, R an NR for request and not request to join, and L and NL for let or not let the Democrats join. Add reasonable payoffs.

(b) List the strategies for each party.

7. In class I talked about the children going to a birthday party and choosing one room or the other, room A or room B. They make the choice first, then have to spend the whole party in that room. There are 6 girls and 6 boys.

(a) each boy wants to be in a room with three girls and each girl wants to be in a room with three boys. Give an equilibrium

(b) Is it an equilibrium for all 12 to choose room A?

(c) how about each girl wants to be in a room with an even number of boys, and each boy wants to be in a room with an even number of girls.
