The Great Financial Crisis (GFC) in the United States: Causes and Policy Responses Goal Analyze the recent (2008-2009) episode in the United States – the Great Financial Crisis (or Great Contraction). Your job is to write a 500-word essay that will: (a) discuss the antecedents to the episode – seeds of the crisis that were previously sown. Then, using the IS-LM model, show both (b) the shocks to the economy which occurred and (c) the government policy response. Also, provide a short discussion of the implications for health care business/industry. Background Although it happened some time ago, the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008-2009 continues to be heavily discussed, including in the popular press. For this assignment, you should read the article “A warning from the almost-depression” by Robert Samuelson, Washington Post, September 16, 2018. For several reasons, this episode is well-suited to the IS-LM model. Your job is to discuss that episode using the model. PLEASE PROVIDE THE REFERENCES THAT YOU USED AND NO Plagiarism (DO NOT COPY FROM OTHER ANSWERS).

The answer should be in the following Format:

our final submission should include the following:

1.      You should have two graphs based on the IS-LM model:

a.       Graph #1: shows the shock(s) that initially took place during the crisis. In other words, how did the IS and/or LM curves move?

                                                              i.      You can approximate these shifts within reason, they do not need to be exact.

b.      Graph #2: shows the effects of the main policy responses by the U.S. government and the Fed.

2.      A discussion/memo that answers the following questions:

a.       What factors led to the GFC? Hint: the Samuelson article provides a good jumping off point.

b.      Why did Graph #1 shift the way it did? Were they big or small shifts?

c.       What are the policies shown in Graph #2 and what were their purposes?

d.      What are the cons of using the IS-LM model to describe the GFC?

legal aspects of engineering 1. Black is purchasing a house under a real estate mortgage held by White Mortgage Company. Under the terms of the mortgage, Black is obligated to make a payment to White Mortgage Company each month. Part of the payment is for interest, another part reduces the mortgage balance, and a third part is deposited in an escrow account to pay for taxes and insurance. Black sells his house to Gray, with Gray agreeing to take over the mortgage payments. If Gray defaults, can White Mortgage Co. take action to recover from Black? 2.Black Tool and Die Company agreed to make a punch press die for White for $10,000. A one-month delivery time was agreed on. Black was ready to begin work on the die when White called and told Black to hold up until further notice. White then shopped around in an attempt to find a lower price for the die. White could not find a better price and called Black about two weeks later to tell Black to go ahead on the die, but Black refused, saying that its work schedule was now such that the die could not be completed within six months. White claims breach of contract and threatens to sue. What is the likely outcome of the case? Why? 3. Why is it necessary for courts to recognize an anticipatory repudiation in connection with contracts involving a structure that is to be built and installed? 4.Black hired Automation to build a special machine to be used by Black in the manufacture of automobile door handles. The door handles were to be sold to Gray Motor Company. The price of the special machine was to be $200,000. Shortly before work was to begin on the special machine, Gray canceled the order for door handles and Black immediately canceled the order for the special machine. Does White have a right to resort to legal action? If so, agaist whom and for how much? 5.What is the purpose of (a) nominal damages, (b) compensatory damages, and (c) exemplary damages?q

7–2. Ethical Conduct. Internet giant Zoidle, a U.S. company, generated sales of £2.5 billion in the United Kingdom in 2013 (approximately $4 billion in U.S. dollars). Its net profits before taxes on these sales were £200 million, and it paid £6 million in corporate tax, resulting in a tax rate of 3 percent. The corporate tax rate in the United Kingdom is between 20 percent and 24 percent.

The CEO of Zoidle held a press conference stating that he was proud of his company for taking advantage of tax loopholes and for sheltering profits in other nations to avoid paying taxes. He called this practice “capitalism at its finest.” He further stated that it would be unethical for Zoidle not to take advantage of loopholes and that it would be verging on illegal to tell shareholders that the company paid more taxes than it had to pay because it felt that it should.

Zoidle receives significant benefits for doing business in the United Kingdom, including tremendous sales tax exemptions and some property tax breaks. The United Kingdom relies on the corporate income tax to provide services to the poor and to help run the agency that regulates corporations. Is it ethical for Zoidle to avoid paying taxes? Why or why not?

The Ambivalent CEO of the Construction Company

jim Symanski, 55, owns a construction company in the Northeast. Despite the slowed economy in his part of the country, jim has been able to maintain his company's substantial profitability as a result of selective bidding, minimal debt, and other good management techniques.

Even though his business is very successful, jim is completely at a loss over what to do about two sons in the business. Alan and Harry, both in their mid-30s, have each begun to press their father for an opportunity to lead the company. But jim has taken no action, and his sons have begun to believe that he has no appreciation for their contribution to the success of the company. The sons also see jim as passive and indecisive, qualities they resent.

Although Alan and Harry have both demonstrated solid technical expertise over the years, their management skills have not been tested. jim is just not sure what their leadership capabilities are. But more than that, they are the children from his first marriage—to a woman whose alcohol abuse left scars on jim and his entire family.

jim is happily remarried, and children from the second marriage are beginning to push for roles in the company. jim is afraid that giving Alan and Harry stronger roles will result in anxiety in his new family. But he's just as sure that not doing so will escalate the tension between jim and his older sons as well as reopen wounds from the first marriage.

jim regrets his inability to act—it reminds him of his frustration with his own father, who seemed equally indecisive when jim worked for him in another business. jim wants to please everyone and avoid a further split in the family.

Consider the desirable attributes and interests of next-generation successors. Can jim make a decision on how the future of his company based on these as they relate to Alan and Harry?

Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns, noun phrases, or other pronouns. Pronouns can be the subject of a sentence, the object of a sentence, or in the possessive case. A pronoun should agree in number and gender with its antecedent. An antecedent is the word the pronoun stands for. The following is one rule for pronouns.

Rule: Use the singular pronoun with "everyone," "anyone," and "each."

Incorrect: Each player on the girls’ soccer team wants their coach to play them in the championship game.

Correct: Each player on the girls’ soccer team wants her coach to play her in the championship game.

On “Bring Your Children to Work Day” at Wing Corporation, Susan Gills, a Wing employee, brought her ten-year-old daughter to work. ACE was installing Wing’s new computer system on that day. After installation, when Susan attempted to adjust the monitor connected to her new computer, she inadvertently knocked the monitor off the desk and onto the floor. The screen shattered causing a shard of glass to strike the child’s toe resulting in four stitches. Susan has blamed the installer, ACE, for placing the monitor in a dangerous position near the back edge of her desk. The damages to this point have been minimal as Susan drove her child to their physician and paid the $20 copay for an office visit. Yet, the Gills family has sued ACE for the following:

Likely future plastic surgery $ 5,000 Emotional distress to Child 500,000 Emotional distress to Susan 1,200,000 Total $1,705,000

ACE’s lawyers believe that this case, with the possible exception of the plastic surgery (for which the HMO won’t pay), is frivolous. ACE has no insurance to cover this sort of liability. If this case goes to court, ACE’s on staff attorneys will handle the case. To eliminate any possible bad press from this case, ACE’s lawyers suggested settling for a “nuisance value” of $10,000. The family rejected this offer out of hand and asked for $200,000 to settle this out of court. ACE has decided, at least at this point, to refuse any further settlement offer.

In the lawyer’s letter to you, ACE’s lawyers indicated that they believe that ACE has “just and meritorious defense available” to fight this case. Furthermore, ACE’s legal counsel for the case indicated that while she agrees that this case is largely frivolous, litigation involving a young child is somewhat of a gamble and that making a definite prediction on the outcome of the case is impossible. In the end she believes the judgment will likely be $5,000 for the plastic surgery. What entry or disclosure, if any, is necessary in this circumstance?   

Also what standard would go along with this?

You are in a skyscraper and you are currently in floor s, where you see an elevator. Upon entering the elvator, you learn that it has only two buttons, marked "UP u" and "DOWN d". The UP-button takes the elevator u floors up (if there aren't enough floors, pressing the UP-botton does nothing), whereas the DOWN-button takes you d stories down (or none if there aren't enough). If you want to go to floor g, and that there are only f floors in the building, write a program that gives you the amount of button pushes you need to perform. If you simply cannot reach the correct floor, your program halts with the message "use the stairs".

Given input f, s, g, u and d (floors, start, goal, up, down), find the shortest sequence of button presses you must press in order to get from s to g, given a building of floors, or output "use the stairs" if you cannot get from s to g by the given elevator.

Use Breadth First Search

Input

The input will consist of one line, namely f s g u d, where 1 <= s, g <= f <= 100 and 0 <= u, d <= 100. The floors are one-indexed, i.e. if there are 10 stories, s and g be in [1; 10].

Output

Write the sequence with the minimum number of pushes you must make in order to get from s to g, or output "use the stairs" if it is impossible given the conguration of the elevator.

Example 1:

Input:

99 1 10 2 1

Output:

1 -> 3 -> 5 -> 7 -> 9 -> 11 -> 10

Example 2:

Input:

70 2 1 1 0

Output:

use the stairs

• Your program should compile using gcc on a unix/lunix machine. Using a makefile is encouraged but not required. You can also provide a readme file if needed.

• You may not use g++ for a C++ code. Only C

Change the name of the display() function to myDisplay() where my is your first name. For example, if your first name were Sam, your display function would be SamDisplay(). Test your code and debug as necessary.

Change the width and height of the pop-up window in which you have set the feedback to appear as 250 and 400, respectively. Test your code and debug as necessary.

Write a program named problem.c to generate addition and subtraction math problems for a 4th grader.

1. Your program will first ask user how many problems they want to do.

2. Repeat the following until you give user the number of problems that the user asks for.

  a. Display the question number

b. Generate a addition or subtraction problem using two random generated two digits (0-99).

- The odd number of problems (1,3,5,…) will be addition problems.

- The even number of problems (2,4,6,…) will be subtraction problems. For subtraction problem, swap two numbers if the first number is smaller than the second number.

c. Display the problem, then ask user to answer. If the user answers correctly the first time, the user gets 10 points for the problem. If the user does not answer correctly, you print the problem again, and ask the user to try again. If the user answers correctly second time, the user gets 5 points for this problem. You then display the total points that user gets.

4. Calculate and display the percentage. a. If the percentage is above or equal 93%, display “Excellent”. b. If the percentage is above or equal 87%, display “Very good”. c. Otherwise, print “Keep working hard.”

Output shown look like:

How many problems would you like to do today?4

Ok! You will be given 4 math problems.

Good luck with them! Press enter to start.

Question 1

92 + 11 = 103

Correct! 10 points. Total points: 10

Question 2

95 - 10 = 85

Correct! 10 points. Total points: 20

Question 3

31 + 56 = 87

Correct! 10 points. Total points: 30

Question 4
