There is a famous quote often attributed to Albert Einstein that says:

“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”

There is some dispute about whether Einstein ever said this, but it might reflect his sentiments as more accurately cited in the book Mathematical Problems in Elasticity (Remigio Russo 1996):

“At this time the anti-relativity clique in Germany […] published a book called 100 Authors Against Einstein. Einstein informed that press that if relativity was wrong they would only need one author.”

Each quote captures an important aspect of the Popperian hypothetico-deductive account of science: knowledge comes from experimental falsification of a hypothesis rather than from experimental confirmation of one.

QUESTION: Explain how an inductivist might respond to this claim regarding falsification and knowledge. Do you agree with this response? Explain and justify your answer. In doing so, consider to what extent inductivists and Popperians have mutually exclusive ideals of what makes science rational, or whether they are, in some way, complementary.

The current COVID-19 Pandemic is threatening the health of all people and the world economy. During a recent press conference members from the White House Coronavirus Team identified a pattern suggesting that Black and American Indian individuals, while not more or less likely to be infected with COVID-19, tend to have more severe outcomes when infected. In other words, Black and American Indian individuals (as a group) express more severe symptoms and higher rates of morbidity than individuals of other races or ethnicities. There is no evidence at this time of a genetic component.

Using readily available sources identify and evaluate the possible causes of this increased severity and morbidity among these individuals. Include statistical information (comparing morbidity rates among various racial groups) in your response. Limit your discussion to bona fide scientific inquiries from actual medical professionals rather than editorial comments or conjecture. You may also want to consider that this same pattern tends to exist in other forms of medical maladies.

David E. Brown is an expert in wildlife conservation. In his book The Wolf in the Southwest: The Making of an Endangered Species (University of Arizona Press), he records the following weights of adult grey wolves from two regions in Old Mexico.

Chihuahua region: x₁ variable in pounds

Durango region: x₂ variable in pounds

(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to calculate x₁, s₁, x₂, and s₂. (Use 2 decimal places.)

(b) Let μ₁ be the mean weight of the population of all grey wolves in the Chihuahua region. Let μ₂ be the mean weight of the population of all grey wolves in the Durango region. Find a 90% confidence interval for μ₁ – μ₂. (Use 2 decimal places.)

A review of the Global equity markets, including Europe, Asia, the U.S. and the Americas. Discuss the changes and what the financial press is claiming the causes are. Also include one stock that had a large price change and what caused what it.

Here is an example:

review:

• US stocks were down Friday because of political uncertainty, but they were up for the week totals. This is because fears of a trade war are going down and that Trump made it sound like he was open to rejoining the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade deal.

• The Nikkei went up because fears of military intervention in Syria are lessening.

• The Hang Seng went down because China reported a surprise trade deficit.

On December 2, 2018, one of the oil and gas division’s wells exploded. It leaked a significant amount of oil into a nearby stream until it could be repaired. The repair was completed on December 27, 2018, but remediation of the site has just begun. It cost $800,000 to repair the well, as a number of attempts initially failed, and new components had to be fabricated to replace the damaged parts. Our CEO issued a press release soon after the explosion, stating that the company will bear the full cost for cleaning up the damage and returning the site to its original condition. It is estimated that it will cost between $2 million to $4 million to fully remediate the site. The process of remediation will likely take several years, as the process of cleaning up the site and the nearby waterway is complicated. What are the key financial reporting issues? Where possible. What is the potential impact of the issue on the balance sheet and income statement, and explain why an adjustment is required? If there are areas where judgment is involved, or the accounting treatment is not clear. What are the alternatives that are available and factors that need to be considered in choosing an alternative?

CHINA TARGETING 8% GROWTH IN 2010
At the beginning of 2010 the Chinese government announced that it was targeting 8% growth for the economy
again, despite the global recession. The target had been 8% for a number of years and the government had
always met it.
About 9% growth is expected in 2010 thanks to huge government fiscal and monetary stimulus measures. The
Chinese economy is the third largest in the world. Forecasts for economic growth made by the International
Monetary Fund for 2010 included China 9.2%, UK 0.9%, Japan 1.7%, US 1.5% and India 6.4%. However,
government officials in China recognized that growth was not guaranteed. China relies heavily on exports and
so is vulnerable to economic change elsewhere in the world.
Adapted: Gillespie, A (2013), Business Economics, Oxford University Press
QUESTION 1 (25)
1.1 Discuss what is meant by economic growth and why is economic growth often important to governments.
(10)
1.2 8% is relatively fast economic growth by international standards for China. Critically evaluate the sources of
economic growth for China and why the country set such as high target?

t can be assumed that the date today is 1 March 2016. It is expected that Lirio Co will receive Euro (€) 20 million in three months’ time from the sale of its investment. The € has continued to remain weak, while the $ has continued to remain strong through 2015 and the start of 2016. The financial press has also reported that there may be a permanent shift in the €/$ exchange rate, with firms facing economic exposure. Lirio Co has decided to hedge the € receipt using one of currency forward contracts, currency futures contracts or currency options contracts. The following exchange contracts and rates are available to Lirio Co. $ Per €1 Spot rates $1·1585 – $1·1618 Three-month forward rates $1·1559 – $1·1601 Currency futures (contract size $125,000, quotation: € per $1) March futures €0·8638 June futures €0·8656 In the above scenario, what rate we would use in order to find out the amount that will be received on the date of transaction, i.e. in three months’ time?
