4) As conditions in short term financial markets improved by summer of 2009 the Fed closed down its lending under these programs mentioned in Q3 above. However, throughout the next 4 years the Fed increased substantially its purchases of longer term mortgage backed securities and Treasury notes from banks in a series of 3 “Quantitative Easing” (QE1, QE2, and QE3) Programs.

A) Assume that both lender & borrower confidence levels start to return to normal and financial and physical investment levels start to rise much more strongly in the next 12 months than in the last few years. What potential problems will the extraordinary growth in banks’ reserve deposits and in the size of the Fed’s portfolio of longer-term Treasury and Mortgage backed bonds that has resulted from 3 rounds of Quantitative Easing create then for the Fed? 4pts

B) What relatively untested policy tools will help the Fed deal with this problem? Explain. (Hint: you may wish to look at www.federalreserve.gov then click monetary policy…then Policy Normalization: principles and Plans)

Thomson Media is considering some new equipment whose data are shown below. The equipment has a 3-year tax life and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 3 years, but it would have a positive pre-tax salvage value at the end of Year 3, when the project would be closed down. Also, additional net operating working capital would be required, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.

Let G be a graph. For each of the following, determine if the statement is true or false. If it's true, provide a proof and if it's false, provide a counterexample.

(a) G has a cycle if and only if G has a circuit

(b) G has a closed walk if and only if G has a circuit

(c) G has an odd-lengthed cycle if and only if G has an odd-lengthed circuit

(d) G has an odd-lengthed closed walk if and only if G has an odd- lengthed circuit

To what extent did the coronavirus affect immigration and our economy?

In our readings for this week, we read a lot about immigration. Because of the current pandemic in the world, the first thought that came to mind was the impact that the coronavirus would have on immigrants. For a very long time, borders to different countries were closed due to the virus. Some borders are still closed. What affects did the temporary halt in immigration have on our US economy? On the lives of specific immigrants?

Why are the following statements false?

The potential energy of a system of interacting particles equals the sum of the potential energies of the individual particles.

The value of the integral ( - pdV) is fixed once the values of the initial and final states(1 and 2) are established.

For a closed system at rest with no fields present, the sum q+w has the same value forevery process that goes from given state 1 to given state 2.

For a constant volume process in a closed system,H=U.

Cp is a state function.

Prove that all rotations and translations form a subgroup of the group of all reflections and products of reflections in Euclidean Geometry. What theorems do we use to show that this is a subgroup?

I know that I need to show that the subset is

closed

identity is in the subset

every element in the subset has an inverse in the subset.

I don't have to prove associative property since that is already proven with Isometries. What theorems for rotations and translations so that they are closed, identity is in the subset and every element is the subset has an inverse in the subset.

On January 1,20X6 ,the company sold for 1,800 a piece of equipment costing 3,900. At the date of sale of the equipment had accumulated depreciaition of 2,400. The company recorded the cash received as other revenue in 20X6. Also, the company continued to record depreciation for this equipment in both 20X6 and 20X7 at the rate of 10% of cost.

Recording correcting entries on Dec31,20X7

Case 1: When the company has not yet closed the 20X7 books.

Case 2: When the company has closed the 20X7 books.

In Fig.30.11 in the textbook, switch S1 is closed while switch S2 is kept open. The inductance is L = 0.110 H , and the resistance is R = 120 Ω . When the current has reached its final value, the energy stored in the inductor is 0.240 J . What is the emf E of the battery?After the current has reached its final value, S1 is opened and S2 is closed. How much time does it take for the energy stored in the inductor to decrease to a half of the original value?

For a congestive heart failure (CHF) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient, select one application or a technology that could effectively increase patient engagement and patient outcomes for your future practice area or work focus. What elements of this application or technology are the most valuable to you? How could you improve this technology?

• To what end have billions of dollars have been spent on computer hardware, software, network communications, and all the other requirements of having world-class technology.
• Has the money spent on technology allowed businesses to become more profitable?
• Has the implementation of information technology led to a sustainable competitive advantage?
