Suppose foreigners lose confidence in the U.S. economy and therefore move to decrease their investments in the United States. Also suppose that the U.S. currently runs a current account deficit.

True

False

True or False: This decrease of foreign investments in the U.S. would decrease demand for dollars and cause the dollar to depreciate.

True

False

Create loanable funds market graphs for each the following (be sure to note what is happening on the x and y axis). You need to create a separate graphical answer,

2. If the government spends more and runs greater deficits.
3. Television newscasters convince most people that the end of the world will occur in 2018.

A 85.3-kg climber is scaling the vertical wall of a mountain. His safety rope is made of a material that, when stretched, behaves like a spring with a spring constant of 1.16 x 103 N/m. He accidentally slips and falls freely for 0.757 m before the rope runs out of slack. How much is the rope stretched when it breaks his fall and momentarily brings him to rest?

The research firm LL Research collected data from 200 client businesses. They want to determine how the businesses compare among four variables:

2015 Profit in millions of dollars
2016 Profit in millions of dollars
2015-2016 Two-Year Change in Daily Average Customer Visits
Two-Year Average Number of Employees

Data collected for the sample of 200 businesses is contained in the file named Businesses, linked at the bottom of the page. Use all 200 data points.

Managerial Report
Prepare a report (see below) using the numerical methods of descriptive statistics presented in this module to learn how each of the variables contributes to the success of a client business. Be sure to include the following three items in your report.

1. Find descriptive sample statistics (mean, median, two quartiles Q1 and Q3, minimum, maximum, range, sample standard deviation, and coefficient of variation) for each of the four variables along with an explanation of what the descriptive statistics tell us about the client businesses.

2. Compute the percent change in profit from 2015 to 2016 for each business. Then use the z-score to determine which businesses were outliers with respect to percent change in profit.

3. Compute the sample correlation coefficient, showing the relationship between percent change in profit and each of the other two variables (2015-2016 Two-Year Change in Daily Average Customer Visits and Two-Year Average Number of Employees). Explain what the correlation coefficients tell us about the three pairs of relationships. Use tables, charts, or graphs to support your conclusions.

Mountain Mack and Big Lake Bob spend their time carving fishing lures and duck decoys. The table below shows their production possibilities schedules, which describe various combinations of fishing lures and duck decoys they each can carve efficiently in a week. Production Possibilities Schedules Mountain Mack Big Lake Bob Fishing Lures Duck Decoys Fishing Lures Duck Decoys 40 0 100 0 32 10 80 6 24 20 60 12 16 30 40 18 8 40 20 24 0 50 0 30 a. If Mountain Mack splits his week evenly between carving fishing lures and duck decoys, what is the maximum number of fishing lures and duck decoys he could carve? 8 fishing lures and 10 duck decoys 20 fishing lures and 25 duck decoys 24 fishing lures and 20 duck decoys 40 fishing lures and 50 duck decoys b. If Big Lake Bob splits his week evenly between carving fishing lures and duck decoys, what is the maximum number of fishing lures and duck decoys he could carve? 50 fishing lures and 15 duck decoys 60 fishing lures and 12 duck decoys 20 fishing lures and 6 duck decoys 100 fishing lures and 30 duck decoys c. Combined, how many fishing lures and duck decoys could Mountain Mack and Big Lake Bob carve if each one split his week between the two products? 140 fishing lures and 80 duck decoys 70 fishing lures and 40 duck decoys 28 fishing lures and 16 duck decoys 84 fishing lures and 32 duck decoys d. has the comparative advantage in carving fishing lures and has the comparative advantage in carving duck decoys. e. If both Mountain Mack and Big Lake Bob choose to specialize in the product in which he has a comparative advantage, how many of each product could they produce together? 84 fishing lures and 32 duck decoys 140 fishing lures and 80 duck decoys 40 fishing lures and 30 duck decoys 100 fishing lures and 50 duck decoys

A.

A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Cr³⁺|Cr and Ag⁺|Ag half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct?

Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials.

(Choose all that apply.)

1.As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Cr³⁺|Cr compartment to the Ag⁺|Ag compartment.

2.The anode compartment is the Ag⁺|Ag compartment.

3.Ag is oxidized at the anode.

4.Cr is oxidized at the anode.

5.In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Cr³⁺|Cr compartment to the Ag⁺|Ag compartment.

B.

A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Cu²⁺ | Cu and Zn²⁺ | Zn half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct?

Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials.

(Choose all that apply.)

1.Zn²⁺ is reduced at the cathode.

2.The cathode compartment is the Cu²⁺|Cu compartment.

3.As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Cu²⁺|Cu compartment to the Zn²⁺|Zn compartment.

4.In the external circuit, electrons flow from the Cu²⁺|Cu compartment to the Zn²⁺|Zn compartment.

5.Cu²⁺ is reduced at the cathode.

2. Blue Nile's Medical Equipment Company manufactures hospital beds. Its most popular model, Deluxe, sells for $5,000. It has variable costs totaling $2,800 and fixed costs of $1,000 per unit, based on an average production run of 5,000 units. It normally has four production runs a year, with $400,000 in setup costs each time. Plant capacity can handle up to six runs a year for a total of 30,000 beds.

A competitor is introducing a new hospital bed similar to Deluxe that will sell for $4,000. Management believes it must lower the price to compete. Marketing believes that the new price will increase sales by 25% a year. The plant manager thinks that production can increase by 25% with the same level of fixed costs. The company currently sells all the Deluxe beds it can produce.

Required:

a.   What is the annual operating income from Deluxe at the current price of $5,000?

b.   What is the annual operating income from Deluxe if the price is reduced to $4,000 and sales in units increase by 25%?

c.   What is the target cost per unit for the new price if target operating income is 20% of sales?

Using the empirical rule, 68% of male sleep amounts should be between what two values? Either show work or explain how your answer was calculated. (need to be able to show the work as a typed out problem in Word, so if possible type out the solutions and formulas so that there are easier to read)
