Is there a health care crisis? How does the health care system in the United States perform? How do we compare to other countries in terms of the following: costs, treatment, technology, and accessibility?

Is the two-state solution still possible? Is the United States indispensable to an agreement between Israel and Palestinian authorities? Are Israel settlements the biggest obstacle to an agreement? Why? (Excerpts from Global Issues: Selections from CQ Researcher - Chapter 2 - Israeli-Palestinian Conflict)

There are a number of national and state parks available to tourists. Create a Park class which should have name of park, location, type of (i.e., national, state, local) facility, fee, number of employees, number of visitors recorded for the past 12 months, and annual budget data members. Write instance methods that: a) Return a string representing name of the park, the location and type of park. b) Return a string representing the name of the park, the location and facilities available c) Compute cost per visitor based on annual budget and the number of visitors during the last 12 months. d) Compute revenue from fees for the past year based on number of visitors and fee.

Suppose a Starbucks tall latte costs $4.00 in the United States and 2.50 euros in the Euro area. Also, suppose a McDonald’s Big Mac costs $4.50 in the United States and 3.60 euros in the Euro area. If the nominal exchange rate is .80 euros per dollar, which goods have prices that are consistent with purchasing-power parity?

If over the next six months inflation is higher in the U.S. than in foreign countries, then according to purchasing-power parity

The following table describes hypothetical age-specific rates of heart disease in India and the United States in 2009. Also included are hypothetical age distributions for the two countries and the entire world population. Age Group (in years) % of Population in Age Group Heart Disease Rate per 100,000 person-years INDIA U.S.A. WORLD INDIA U.S.A. < 30 60% 30% 50% 50 75 30-55 30% 40% 30% 80 150 > 55 10% 30% 20% 120 400 • Calculate the crude rate of heart disease for each of the two countries. Suppose that you want to compare the rate of heart disease in India to that in the United States. You know that age is an important risk factor for heart disease. Examine the age distribution of each country’s population. • Should you use the two crude rates to compare the two countries? Why or why not? •

Suppose that BMW can produce any quantity of cars at a constant marginal cost equal to $20,000 and a fixed cost of $10 billion. You are asked to advise the CEO as to what prices and quantities BMW should set for sales in Europe and in the United States. The demand for BMWs in each market is given by: QE = 4,000,000 ? 100PE and QU = 1,000,000 ? 20PU where the subscript E denotes Europe and the subscript U denotes the United States. Assume that BMW can restrict U.S. sales to authorized BMW dealers only. a. What quantity of BMWs should the firm sell in each market, and what should the price be in each market? b. What should the total profit be? c. If BMW were forced to charge the same price in each market, what would be the quantity sold in each market, the equilibrium price, and the company’s profit?

Freeflight Airlines is presently operating at 70 percent of capacity. Management of the airline is considering dropping Freeflight's routes between Europe and the United States. If these routes are dropped, the revenue associated with the routes would be lost and the related variable costs saved. In addition, the company's total fixed costs would be reduced by 20 percent.

Segmented income statements for a typical month appear as follows (all amounts in millions of dollars):

Required:

a. Prepare a differential cost schedule. (Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places.)

b. Should Freeflight drop the routes between Europe and the United States?

Tailor​ Johnson, a U.S. maker of fine​ menswear, has a subsidiary in Ethiopia. This​ year, the subsidiary reported and repatriated earnings before interest and taxes​ (EBIT) of 195 million Ethiopian birrs. The current exchange rate is 9.8039 ​birrs/dollar or Upper S equals $ 0.1020 divided by birrS=$0.1020/birr. The Ethiopian tax rate on this activity is 27%. U.S. tax law requires Tailor Johnson to pay taxes on the Ethiopian earnings at the same rate as on profits earned in the United​ States, which is currently 43%. ​However, the United States gives a full tax credit for foreign taxes paid up to the amount of the U.S. tax liability. What is Tailor​ Johnson's U.S. tax liability on its Ethiopian​ subsidiary?

Tailor​ Johnson's U.S. tax liability on its Ethiopian subsidiary is $_______million. ​ (Round to two decimal​ places.)

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 17.9%17.9% of women ages 1212–5959 test seropositive for HPV‑16. Suppose that Tara, an infectious disease specialist, assays blood serum from a random sample of ?=1000n=1000 women in the United States aged 1212–59.59.

Apply the central limit theorem for the distribution of a sample proportion to find the probability that the proportion, ?̂ ,p^, of women in Tara's sample who test positive for HPV‑16 is greater than 0.2010.201. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.

?(?̂ >0.201)=P(p^>0.201)=

Apply the central limit theorem for the distribution of a sample proportion to find the probability that the proportion of women in Tara's sample who test positive for HPV‑16 is less than 0.1730.173. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.
