The Impact of Government Policy on Competitive Market

1. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Malay government temporarily eliminated import tariffs on disposable (single use) surgical masks. As a result, the domestic demand for disposable surgical masks were fulfilled by domestic production and imports. By July 2020, 99 million surgical masks valued at Rp400 billion were imported to Indonesia That same month, industry representatives asked the government to restore the import tariff on surgical masks. Assume that if the tariff is restored, there will still be import of surgical masks.

a. Explain the possible welfare impact of restoring the import tariff for surgical masks. Should the government impose an import quota instead? Explain your answer and use a graph to support your arguments.

Assume that the domestic demand for surgical mask in Malaysia (in million units) is Qd = 210 − 2P; the domestic supply in Malaysia (in million units) is Qs' = −100 + 600p; the world price is $0.40, and there are no barriers to trade. Calculate:
b. The quantity of domestic consumption, production, and import of masks!
c. The welfare impact of an import tariff of $0.05 per unit of surgical mask – explain in detail who gains, who loses, and by how much!

1) How does capital investment affect the marginal physical product of labor? Does more college education have the same kind of effect? Which is a better investment? Please explain your answers in detail.

(2) While explaining your answer in detail, if you wish, you can also include an example. According to the rule for optimal input usage, a firm should hire a person as long as her marginal revenue product is greater than her marginal cost to the company. It is well known that many companies have management training programs in which new trainees are paid relatively high starting salaries and are not expected to make substantial contributions to the company until after the program is over (programs may run between 6 to 18 months). In offering such training programs, is a company violating the optimality rule? Explain.

1) A group of software developers are geographically dispersed in three different continents of America, Asia and Europe. They use different types of communication and collaboration tools to facilitate working as team members. Explain with detail three primary challenges in terms of communication/collaboration that these software developers may face. Once explained the challenges, how do you think such teams can overcome these challenges?

2)Using an example (a job title), explain the “managerial level” of decision making, and describe the major characteristics of jobs at this level? How the use of Business intelligence (BI) helps employees at this level?

An instructor who taught two sections of engineering statistics last term, the first with 25 students and the second with 30, decided to assign a term project. After all projects had been turned in, the instructor randomly ordered them before grading. Consider the first 15 graded projects.

(b) What is the probability that at least 10 of these are from the second section? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(c) What is the probability that at least 10 of these are from the same section? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(d) What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number among these 15 that are from the second section? (Round your mean to the nearest whole number and your standard deviation to three decimal places.)

(e) What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number of projects not among these first 15 that are from the second section? (Round your mean to the nearest whole number and your standard deviation to three decimal places.)
