What problems with the Phillips Curve have surfaced before? To the extent that business is now more globalized than when William Phillips described the curve in 1958, could that be a reason why the Phillips Curve is failing? Or is the problem, you think, that unemployment rates have yet to fall far enough to trigger inflation? Perhaps Lucas is correct after all in thinking that if monetary policy is credible, there wouldn’t be a Phillips Curve at all? Explain In detail and use as many graphs as possible.

You work at a Hospital in the Weight Management Department. A new patient has entered your program to lose weight and manage their diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Below are the patient characteristics. (10 points)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Dx: Obesity, Hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia

Age: 35 years old        Gender: Male Race: African American               BMI: 42 kg/m²       

SBP: 147 mmHg      DBP: 86 mmHg      TG: 245 mg/dl

Meds: Enalapril .1 mg/kg/day (2x per day); Niaspan 1500 mg per day, Qsymia 7.5/46 mg

Dr. Goal: Reduce body weight to help with Blood pressure and triglycerides through exercise and healthy eating

Patient Goal: Not be “Fat” and “Out of Shape”

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Part 1: Based on the information provided, what would your exercise plan look like for this patient? Is there any contraindications to your regimen based on the clinical profile? Explain. What is the outlook for exercise alone to provide positive clinical outcomes over a 3 month (12 weeks) period? That is, how much could the exercise program lower blood pressure levels, triglycerides and body weight? What type of nutrition strategy might you implement for this patient? Explain and provide an example in detail.

Part 2: The patient asks you how their medications work. Explain this and state specifically how these particular medication work. Finally, the patient asks you whether it will be possible for them to lose 50 pounds in 3 months and whether he can eventually stop his medications. How would you approach these questions and answer accordingly

1. Examine this Interactive Lab on Earth-Sun Geometry hosted by the University of Nebraska - Lincoln closely. After you investigate several different latitude settings, write a brief paragraph describing how solar intensity varies with latitude throughout the year. (HINT: First, set the latitude to your location by moving the stick figure in the black box in the upper right of the webpage until the “observer’s latitude” is the same as yours. Your latitude can be determined by a Google search for “New Jersey latitude”. Then click the “start animation” button in the lower right of the web page, and watch the sun angles (pictured in the box above) progress through the days of the year. Next use the red needle with the red triangle on top located to the left of the “start animation” button to move more slowly through the days to find the maximum and minimum Sun angles.)

            a) Write brief paragraph here.

            b) What are the maximum and minimum Sun angles at your latitude? On what dates do they occur? How do these angles compare to those that occur at the equator on the same dates?

   c) What is the range of Sun angles at your latitude throughout the year? How does your range compare to the range at the equator and at the Arctic Circle?

I have the data for corn color and texture. These are the follow up questions for the data.

Color of Corn Grains

Number of Purple (Red) Grains: 75

Number of Yellow (White) Grains: 30

Ratio of Purple (Red) Grains: Yellow (White) Grains: 2.5:1

Probable Genotypes of Parents:  

Texture of Corn Grains

Number of Smooth Grains: 85

Number of Wrinkled Grains: 20

Ratio of Smooth Grains: Wrinkled Grains: 4.25:1

Probable Genotypes of Parents:

Grain color is one trait. Grain texture is a second trait. For each, what do you notice about the phenotypic ratios?

R = Purple/Red; r = Yellow/White; S = Smooth; s = Wrinkled

A genetic cross with only one trait is a monohybrid cross.

A genetic cross involving two traits is called a dihybrid cross.

Consider the cross: RRSS x rrss (Parental Generation) F1 is the result of the cross. (Gametes: RS for one parent (e.g. the egg) and rs for another parent (e.g. the sperm). FOR EACH GAMETE, IT IS ONE ALLELE FOR EACH TRAIT. THIS IS WHY YOU SEE TWO LETTERS PER GAMETE.)

What is the expected genotype for the F1 generation?

Will all F1 offspring have the same genotype?

Will all F1 offspring have the same phenotype?

What are the predicted phenotypes for the F2 generation crossing RrSs x RrSs?

In what ratios will they occur?

Purple/Red, Smooth:

Purple/Red, Wrinkled:

Yellow/White, Smooth:

Yellow/White, Wrinkled:

What is a business method patent? Provide examples of business method patents and explain how having such a patent can provide a firm a competitive advantage in the marketplace .What are some examples of intangible assets? How can an intangible asset create value for an organization? Explain in detail.

1. Explain what for Game Theory is used in IPE. What are the main assumptions in Game Theory? Explain in detail the Chicken Game and give at least one example from IPE, which can be applied to the Chicken Game, and how it can be applied.

During the reading of the textbook there is a section about call provision. This is when a corporation has the right to call the bonds for redemption. The book says that that the company must pay the bondholders an amount great than the par value if they are called. They usually do this if interest rates drop. The reason being is that bonds and interest rates have an inverse relationship. After the company calls the bonds they will issue out other bonds at a lower interest rate. Why would investors invest in callable bonds if companies can just call them back (after a certain amount of time) and issue out others bonds with lower interest rates?

A manager is quite concerned about the recent deterioration of a section of the roof on a building that houses her firm's computer operations. According to her assistant there are three options which merit consideration: A, B, and C. Moreover, there are three possible future conditions that must be included in the analysis: I, which has a probability of occurrence of .1; II, which has a probability of .3; and III, which has a probability of .6.

If condition I materializes, A will cost $12,000, B will cost $20,000, and C will cost $16,000.
If condition II materializes, the costs will be $15,000 for A, $18,000 for B, and $14,000 for C.
If condition III materializes, the costs will be $10,000 for A, $15,000 for B, and $19,000 for C.

State of Nature..............I..............II............III
Option A...................12000.......15000.......10000
Option B...................20000.......18000.......15000
Option C...................16000.......14000.......19000

Economists tend to ask two questions in a bilateral contracting situation: Is the outcome

efficient? How are the gains distributed?

(a). Suppose that landlords and tenants care only about the expected or average

gain from the contract, and not about risk. Comparing a sharecropping contract to a

fixed-rent contract: which of these is efficient? Briefly explain.

(b). Now suppose (realistically) that tenants lack assets and do not have access to

insurance or credit markets. They are therefore in a poor position to bear risk. Can this

help explain the persistence of sharecropping contracts? Briefly explain.

Answer key:

(a). Compare the economic surplus and employment level under the two contracts.

(b). Compare the expected rate of return for landlords and tenants under the two contracts in good state and bad state.
