It should be 10-15 lines long. 2 paragraphs.

Is the timing and substance of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's firing similar to the firing of former FBI Director James Comey? Should Attorney General Jeff Sessions have allowed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to fire Andrew McCabe due to a previous conflict of interest? please cite the source where you get your information from.

2. A company currently uses 10 units of labor and 4 units of capital in its production process and is able to produce 150 units of output per day.

a. Provide an isoquant that shows imperfect substitution between labor and capital and label the values that are described on your graph.

b. The company owner decides to use more capital and less labor in its production process. What should happen to the marginal product of capital relative to the marginal product of labor? Use intuition and math to explain your answer.

c. How would your isoquant change in part a. if capital and labor were perfect substitutes in production? Illustrate this on your graph and explain the change.

d. Re-answer your question to part b. if capital and labor are perfect substitutes.

Innovation and physical capital are 2 of the 4 factors of production. Discuss some specific ways that 1 of the following laws increased the productivity of 1 or both of these factors of production:

1862 Pacific Railway Act 1956

Federal Aid Highway Act 1946

Federal Airport Act

What other examples of economic concentration can you share?

What are the risks and advantages to economic concentration?

How has economic concentration influenced your industry?

4. A steel producing company wants to compare between 2 types of blends (A and B) to produce strong steel (based on the weight capacity that can be supported). For this reason, an experiment was carried out to produce steel from each mixture. Observed data are load weights that can be supported, y. The results of the experiment are summarized in the following table:

a. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for the difference from the average weight that can be supported from both mixes! Are you sure, that B mixture can produce stronger steel?
b. So that the interval you make in the problem above is valid, what assumptions are needed?
c. Based on the results in a, are there any real differences regarding the average weights that can be supported from the two mixtures?
d. If it is desired that the difference between the average difference obtained from the sample with the actual average difference is not more than 2 tons with 99% confidence, then how many samples should be taken for each mixture (for this case, each mixture of the same number of samples)?

McCoy Brothers manufactures and sells two products, A and Z in the ratio of 4:2. Product A sells for $83; Z sells for $115. Variable costs for product A are $37; for Z $40. Fixed costs are $544,420. Compute the number of units of Product Z McCoy must sell to break even.

Assume that yield strength (ksi) for a steel is normally distributed with (sigma)^2 = 4. Assume (mu)= 12 What is the yield strength value separates the strongest 6-% from the others? What is the probability that sample mean of yield strength is less than 12.5 for sample size 50? Assume the 99% confidence interval for (mu) is (7.7,9.2), what would be a 90% confidence interval calculated from the same sample size and sample mean? Assume we have a sample set with x(bar)= 11.7, n=50. Decide whether the population mean of yield strength is less than 12? Using a=.02

PART 2 - FINANCE

a) What is the price of a 1,000 par value, 4-year annual bond with a 9.62% coupon rate and a yield to maturity of 5.79%?

b) You bought a 11-year, 6.69% semi-annual coupon bond today and the current market rate of return is 5.69%. The bond is callable in 5 years with a $86.00 call premium. What price did you pay for your bond?

c) A 6.56% coupon, 23-year annual bond has a yield to maturity of 8.17%. Assuming the par value is 1000 and the YTM does not change over the next year, compute the price of the bond today, price of the bond in 1 year, capital gains yield and current yield.

A company has 3 future liabilities of 1000 at time 2, 1200 at time 4 and 1000 at time 6.

The only investment vehicles available are one-year zero-coupon bonds and five-year Zero-coupon bonds. If the interest rate is 10%, how much money should be invested in each bond to achieve local immunization?

BTN 2-4) Assume you are preparing for a second interview with a manufacturing company. The company manufactures customer-order holiday decorations and display items. During your first interview, you learned that the managers are not currently pleased with the timeliness of information and inventory measurements. Discuss both A) what type of cost accounting system this company should use, and B) the documents that you would recommend as part of the cost accounting system.

PLEASE DONT COPY PASTE ANSWERS. I NEED THE ANSWER IN 350 WORDS AND IN WORD FORMAT " NO PICTURES". I am not interested in paying my money for easy work looking people.

Find the volume of the solid bounded by the surface z =5 +(x-4) ^2+2y and the planes x = 3, y = 3 and coordinate planes.

a. First find the volume by actual calculation.

b. Estimate the volume by dividing the region into nine equal squares and evaluating the functional value at the mid-point of the respective squares and multiplying with the area and summing it. Find the error from step a.

c. Then estimate the volume by dividing each sub-square above into 4 sub-squares and follow the process/steps in (b) above. Find the error from step a.

d. Keep repeating step b to a reasonable number to minimize the errors from step a.
