Suppose that the probability that any random student graduates with honors is 0.05. Also, we know that the probability of a student that graduated with honors, getting into graduate school is 0.80. The probability that a student that did not graduate with honors gets into graduate school is 0.10. TRUE or FALSE: Given that a random student got into graduate school, it is more likely that the student graduated with honors.

True

My son is special needs in high school and selute mute in school. Now, that we are doing google meet, and classroom meet I notice my son will take through the computer. I want to share with the school as this Covid 19 is not a good thing, my son is benefiting from it.? He is really engaged in his schoolwork at home as well?

A group of researchers is interested in studying the factors that influence juvenile delinquency. They create a survey for high school students in a local after-school program. The survey includes questions about age (in years), favorite sports, number of siblings, high school grade point average and the marital status of parents.

List the variables in the survey and the level of measurement for each variable.

The town of Cypress Creek is preparing to go to war against the American government. To do this, it is building a giant satellite laser! To build the laser, the government of the town will resort to taxation to fund its expenditure. The initial economy of Cypress Creek can be expressed by the following agents:

Consumers, C = 25 + 0.95(Y-T)

Output, Y = 5000

Government expenditures, G = 2000

Taxation, T = 2000

Investors, I = 750-125r

Markets are fully competitive and the equilibrium condition for markets are:

Goods and service market: Y =C + I + G

Financial market: I = S

When it builds the Satellite, government and taxation change to  

Government expenditures, G = 4000

Taxation, T = 4000

Hank Scorpio, the towns' founder, announces that "even by increasing government spending and taxation, we are not worst off, as production has not changed!"

1. [2 points] check to make sure output does not change.
2. [2 points] find the consumption level in both scenario's (low and high government spending).
3. [3 points] who is paying for the burden of taxation? (how is this new spending/taxation being distributed between investors and consumers)
4. [2 points] as the government increases its spending (G from 2000 to 4000) why won't output change?

Hank Scorpio makes another announcement "People of North Haverbrook! We must all work together in this to crush the American Government - I implore you to save you wages! Don't spend!"

13. [2 points] by how much would consumers need to reduce their Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) such that the market clearing interest rate does not change?  

V. Rahr and Sons is a Fort Worth brewery founded by Fritz Rahr, a Neeley undergraduate and MBA. Currently the company makes Rahr Blonde Lager, Rahr’s Red, and Ugly Pug brews. They are considering a new beer, Frog Princess, with which to celebrate their ties to TCU. The project includes an initial outlay of $750,000 for the purchase of capital equipment that will be depreciated straight line to zero over six years.

Sales are expected to be $400,000 in years 1-3 and $600,000 in years 4-6. Production costs during years 1-6 are as follows: fixed costs (not including depreciation) are expected to be $150,000 per year; variable costs per year will be 40% of sales. The project will require an initial investment in NWC of 200,000 in year 0.

Beyond year six, the company expects that sales and unlevered net income in year seven will be 4% higher than that in year 6, and will continue growing at 4% per year infinitely. Additionally, in year 7 and beyond, new capital expenditures net of depreciation, and increases in NWC, combined, will be 6% of sales. Assume the marginal tax rate is 21%. The appropriate discount rate is 8%.

What is the NPV of the project? What is the IRR? Should the project be undertaken?

I've asked this question three times now and gotten three different answers so I want to see if this will confirm the right one. Thanks

Q1:Explain what companies should do to make employees   contribute towards the strategic management process in the organization.

Q2: Why many organizations fail to implement plans successfully?

Q 3&4 : Case : Maestro Pizza the food industry nowadays became harder than before. The people now pay extra attention to even small details when it comes to food. The variety of food kinds, the way the food being served, the quality of food, the price and even the place decoration! Furthermore, there are tons of restaurants (competitors) those being in the food industry for decades which makes it even harder to compete them. Not to mention if a new restaurant will serve one kind of food that already being served by other expert restaurants.

Here we talk about a new restaurant in Saudi Arabia that successfully entered the food industry and managed to compete existed restaurants who are serving the same kind of food for a long time and even considered the best in the world of serving such food! The restaurant's name is Maestro Pizza which is locally founded and operated by Saudi people. This restaurant has successfully dominated the market and stole the throne from underneath of many other pizza restaurants like Pizza Hut and Domino’s Pizza and others.

In the context of the above case analyze and provide solution to the following:

Q3. Bargaining power of consumers .

Q4. Suggest strategies to differentiate Maestro Pizza products and services with its competitors

Consider the following editorial that appeared in the Wall Street Journal in the late 70’s, after a significant freeze in Latin America destroyed a number of coffee plants:

Coffee prices, it seems, are coming down again, after hitting a record high of $4.42 last year. As Agriculture Department economist, who had predicted $5 a pound coffee this year, says he “underestimated the power of the consumer movement.” Perhaps, or maybe, as with so many economists these days, he simply forgot his freshman economics, which has nothing to do with “movements.” The coffee market is behaving the way the basic textbook says the market behaves: Prices go up, demand falls, and prices come down.

1. Suppose coffee had started out at an equilibrium price of $1 per pound prior to the freeze. Draw a demand/supply graph and show the initial equilibrium. Label all axis, curves, and equilibrium price and quantity
   
   
2. Show graphically the effects of the freeze in your graph from part a. Let the new equilibrium price = $4.42. Does either the demand or supply change (that is, actually move)? Why or why not? Which direction?
   
   
3. Based on your answers in parts a and b above, critique the WSJ’s editorial. What’s wrong with their analysis?

John is a 55 year-old Caucasian man with diabetes and asthma. He teaches math at a local high school in New York City. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on blood tests performed when he applied for life insurance at age 51. At the time, he was obese, weighing 220 pounds at 5 feet, 10 inches height (BMI = 31.6). He stopped smoking at age 46 and he does not consume alcohol.

Discuss two (2) care management recommendations for J.W.
