Should Parents Pay Their Children When They Earn High Grades in School?
We all probably recall knowing someone in school who got $5 for every “A” they earned in school. Research has found that encouragement of autonomous functioning, individual challenge, and positive feedback stimulates an intrinsic motivation to achieve (Deci & Ryan, 1985). If the environment is highly controlling, however, the internal forces for mastery-achievement may be undermined. Parents who use surveillance and frequent rewards socialize their children to be motivated by, and desire, extrinsic rewards. Two specific parenting behaviors were related to extrinsic motivation and lower school performance. They found that over controlling parents (those who engaged in extreme supervision of homework completion) had children who were more likely to rely on external sources for evaluation. Their grades and achievement scores were lower as well. Parents who relied on external rewards also had children with extrinsic motivation and lower school performance. Ginsburg and Bronstein speculate that extrinsically rewarded children use external criteria to assess their performance, which alters the children’s perception of themselves. This may undermine their ability to self-regulate and choose appropriate work. These children do not learn how to judge their own performance. Encouragement of intrinsic motivation, which is bidirectional and reciprocal, will foster independent self-evaluation and academic success. The goal is for the child to develop the ability to self-regulate and take responsibility for academic success; thus, the parents are not solely responsible for their child’s outcome. So, does paying our children for good grades motivate them to do well in school? Do you see how these children are not able to learn how to judge their own performance? Elaborate. What are some ways that parents can foster the development of intrinsic motivation?

A has contracted with B to construct a factory in Oman. The first payment has been received by B and started working for three months. Oman has adopted new regulation relating the security in the factories. This regulation required new materials and changes in the construction of the factory. All of this has raised the price of the actual contract. A has asked be to include the materials and the do the changes according to the new regulation adopted by the government at the same price and conditions according to the contract signed. B has decided to stop the work and asked to renegotiate the contract and the prices. A has no budget to finance the new materials and the changes in the factory and asked B to continue work and do the changes.
.5. What action A should take to make B start work even it doesn’t have the budget for the changes adopted by the government?
6. In your conclusion, you should provide a good solution for A and B to continue to work together and build the factory with the new government requirements.

How do economists use the concepts of marginal utility and budget constraints to construct demand curves and determine the distribution of consumer spending? Discuss how marginal utility analysis can help you understand the purchasing patterns of a product or service you commonly buy. What might happen to your purchases if the price of the product changes, the price of a substitute product changes, or your income changes? Or if your tastes and preferences change?

Many have called for the auditor’s report to be more informative and relevant therefore many changes happened in the auditor report in the last five years. especially ISA 701 , which is about “Communicating Key Audit Matters in the Independent Auditor’s Report. So you are required to show the reasons for the changes in ISA 701 and what is the impact of these changes on the auditor and other stockholders (Please write the answer so I can copy it)
