B.   Using the four general education lenses, discuss the positive and negative aspects associated with technology.
C.   Looking through the four general education lenses, explain how technology impacts both your personal and professional identities. Consider how technology impacts the day-to-day responsibilities or questions faced by practitioners in your field of discipline.

A firm can choose between two production technologies for a new product line. If it installs technology 1, its yearly costs will be: ?1=4500+25?+45?2. If it installs technology 2, its yearly costs will be: ?2=400+125?+?2. What is the marginal and average cost of each technology? What is the minimum efficient scale of both technologies? Which technology would the firm prefer (purely from a cost standpoint) if it expects to sell 60 units each year?

How has the use of technology affected people’s ability to communicate face to face? Do you think that the mere presence of technology, such as in the form of smart phones, affects people’s ability to communicate with individuals in a public place? Has the increase of technology decreased both the quantity and quality of face-to-face interactions? In what ways have you experienced these changes? Do you see a change (increase or decrease) in this human-technology dependency in the future? What kind of change do you favor?

a. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below.

A.

H0​: μ=2,273 and H1​:μ≠2,273

B.

H0​: μ≥2,273 and H1​: μ<2,273

C.

H0​: μ=2,273 and H1​: μ>2,273

D.

H0​: μ≠2,273 and H1​: μ=2,273

Determine the critical​ value(s).

The critical​ value(s) is(are) ____

​(Round to three decimal places as needed. Use a comma to separate answers as​ needed.)

Determine the test​ statistic,

t Subscript x overbartx.

t Subscript x overbartx = _____

​(Round to two decimal places as​ needed.)

What conclusion should be​ drawn? Choose the correct answer below.

A. Reject the null hypothesis. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average house size has changed since 2006.

B. Do not reject the null hypothesis. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average house size has changed since 2006.

C. Do not reject the null hypothesis. The data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average house size has changed since 2006.

D. Reject the null hypothesis. The data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the average house size has changed since 2006.

b. Use technology to determine the​ p-value for this test. What is the​ p-value?

​p-value = _____

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

Blossom Inc. presented the following data:

As of January 1, 2020, there were no dividends in arrears. On December 31, 2020, Blossom declared and paid the preferred dividend for 2020.

1) Calculate earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2020

2) Assume that Blossom did not declare or pay a preferred dividend in 2020.

Calculate the total depreciation for these various assets - All assets are business use. Joe purchased a 5 year asset for $1,190,000 on 6/13/2020. Joe wants to take the maximum amount of Sec 179 depreciation as possible. Taxable income for 2020 was $1,125,000. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2020. Joe sold the asset in 2021. Additional first year depreciation was not taken in 2020. Calculate the depreciation for 2021. 2020: 2021:

Create an Amortization Schedule for a home that cost $259,000 with 20% down for a down-payment. Do not use an online amortization schedule. Note the textbook amortization schedule is using an annual payment. Please complete a schedule for both 180 months (15 years) and 360 months (30 years). The interest rate for the year is 2.75% according to Bankrate for the area the home is in. Remember to divide your interest by 12 to get a monthly rate. How much interest will you pay over the life of each loan? You can determine this by summing all the payments and subtracting the amount borrowed.

You put 20% down on a home with a purchase price of $250,000. The down payment is thus $50,000, leaving a balance owed of $200,000. A bank will loan you this remaining balance at 3.91% APR. You will make monthly end-of-the-period payments with a 30-year payment schedule. What is the monthly annuity payment under this schedule?
