Effects, Politics, and Regulatory Control of Tobacco Use Tobacco use is the primary cause of mortality in the United States today. Tobacco use is responsible for cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and heart disease and has caused the deaths of nearly half a million people per year. Tobacco control, prevention, and treatment are compelling and urgent public health issues.

The development of tobacco control laws have been passed by a number of states. Write a comprehensive overview of the health effects, politics, and regulatory control of tobacco use control efforts. Your paper should be based on the following points:

What are the factors (biological, environmental, economic, and political) that contribute to tobacco addiction?

What are the medical consequences (morbidity and mortality) for tobacco users?

What is the public health impact (epidemiological and economic) of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure?

How do tobacco control regulations relate to positive and normative economics?

How do tobacco control regulations impact individual health care What is the public health policy regarding tobacco control?

What is the role of the state and Federal Government in policy making? What is the history of regulatory tobacco control?

What is the current state of tobacco control in the United States (states that have passed tobacco control regulations)?

What is the evidence that tobacco control is effective?

Based on your understanding, create a 6- to 7-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the above questions. You need a minimum of five scholarly sources that should be in APA format for both in-text citations and citations on the reference page. This assignment requires a title page, an abstract, an introduction, a body, a conclusion, and a reference page.

One of the longest debates in accounting history is the issue of deferred taxes. The controversy began in the 1940s and has continued, even after the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.109 [FASB ASC 740: Income Taxes] in 1992. At issue is the appropriate treatment of tax consequences of economic events that occur in years other than that of the events themselves.

Required:

1. Distinguish between temporary differences and permanent differences. Provide an example of each.

2. Distinguish between intraperiod tax allocation and interperiod tax allocation (deferred tax accounting) Provide an example of each.

3. How are deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities classified and reported in the financial statements?

Case study Hotel owners and operators recognize that while we are currently living in a world of scant lodging demand, talk of reopening the country is the necessary precursor to a recovery in travel and the need for hotel accommodations. Just like cities and states need to plan, closed hotels must plan the "how" and "when" of their reopening. As in any business decision, the costs and benefits of remaining closed versus resuming operations must be weighed. During a time when travel is restricted and little can be done to stimulate demand, the primary objective is to limit operating losses through cost containment. At the same time, hotel owners and managers must prepare for an eventual recovery in demand and the reopening of their property. Touch base with your competitors to see when they plan on reopening. It may or may not make sense to reopen when they do, depending on the anticipated depth of demand at that time. Beyond their timing, are your competitors shifting their mix of business and/or distribution strategy? How has their pricing changed since prior to the crisis? Online research or market research providers will help you determine shifts in their marketing or positioning, or lack thereof, potentially providing you with alternate opportunities. Drive-to locations such as regional resorts are more likely to benefit, as well, due to the pent-up demand for vacations and weekend staycations. While urban destinations have historically attracted drive-in demand during a recession because consumers save money, compared with the costs of flying, city centers may have less appeal in this downturn until the fear of group mingling and dense locations diminish. Urban hotels, particularly those with a group orientation, will have to find ways to adapt creatively to this new environment. Government lodging contracts for first responders, medical professionals, and quarantined individuals are helping many urban hotels survive this period of low demand. Another consideration is the hotel's historical transient vs. group mix, which will often parallel the amount of meeting and function space relative to the number of guestrooms. The more the hotel is dependent on group demand, the more it will be critical to see clear indications from planners of the intent to book in order to identify when to reopen. Transient travelers, whether they be corporate, leisure, or any other sub-segment, can make and implement travel decisions quickly, whereas the lead time for group demand is longer than that for the transient segment, making the lead time for reopening necessarily longer, as well. Another factor to consider when weighing when to reopen is the weekly volatility of demand. Will you be opening to accommodate infrequent events that generate high occupancy temporarily and then be faced with abnormally low occupancy that caused you to close in the first place? Having to carry the ongoing costs of an open hotel may only be worthwhile if an adequate level of steady demand is sustainable. If this is a risk, opening just parts of the hotel, such as wings/floors or only certain outlets, could mitigate the financial exposure.

1. A single community is comprised of just three voters i = {1, 2, 3}, each of whom have differing tastes for public parks, as described by the following three demand functions.

q₁ = 100 – 2p

q₂ = 110 – 2p

q₃ = 126 – 2p  

(a)        Public parks are a local public good. Assuming that the marginal cost to society,

mc^s, of providing each unit of park space is $90, what is the socially optimal quantity of parks? Provide a graph with your answer. Please show all of your work. 3pt

(b)        Assume that the price tag for each unit of park is split evenly across the community

members so that the marginal cost to each member is just $30. At this price, what is

each member’s optimal quantity of park space? Is there unanimity across the three individuals regarding the desired level of park space? 3pt

(c)        Using Lindahl pricing (aka Lindahl taxing), what price schedule would guarantee unanimous agreement across all three members and would also yield a socially optimal outcome? Please show your work. 3pt

2. Please refer back to Q1 when answering the following questions.

(a)        Draw each individual’s demand curve for park space. Then calculate each person’s

consumer surplus at each of the three optimal quantities. Please show your work. 3pt

                        Hint: remember that each person must pay $30 per unit of park space consumed.

(b)        Using the consumer surplus calculations from Q2(a), fill in the following table by

assigning a rank to each person’s park space options. 3pt    

(c)        In a political environment with direct democracy through majority rule, which of the

three park space alternatives will consistently win a series of pair-wise votes? 3pt

d) Is the winning option aligned with what would be predicted by the median voter

            theorem? Is this outcome socially optimal? Explain why or why not. 3pt  

Project Outcomes:
Develop a python program that uses:
 decision constructs
 looping constructs
 basic operations on an list of objects (find, change, access all elements)
 more than one class and has multiple objects
Project Requirements:
1. Develop a simple Hotel program. We will have two classes, a Hotel class
representing an individual hotel and a Room class. The Hotel class will contain several
Room objects and will have several operations. We will also have a driver program to test
the Hotel class.
2. Build a Hotel class that will store information about a Hotel. It will include a name and
location. It should also include a list of class Room to hold information about each
room. It will also have a int called occupiedCnt that keeps track of how many rooms in
the hotel are occupied.
Specific Requirements for the Hotel Class:
1. The Hotel class has two constructors
1. __init__ function, will read in the hotel name and location from hard-coded
values in the tester class, such as Beach Marriot Pensacola, it will also assign
numOfRooms to zero.  numOfRooms indicates how many rooms are in the hotel.
It will create a 10 element array.

2. The Hotel will have an addRoom method that will create each room with the required
information: room number, bed type, smoking/non-smoking, and the room rate. Create at
least 5 rooms with different characteristics. Each room will also have a boolean field
called occupied attribute that will be set to false when the room is created. Don't forget
to increment the numOfRooms instance variable.  Example values for the rooms are:
101 queen s 100
102 king n 110
103 king n 88
104 twin s 100
105 queen n 99
3. The UML class diagram for the Hotel class will look like this:

Hotel

theRooms: Array Room[]
name: String
location: String
occupiedCnt: int
numOfRooms: int

def __init(self)__(String,String)
def isFull(self) : boolean
def isEmpty(self) : boolean
def addRoom(self ,roomnumber,bedtype,smoking,price)
def addReservation(self,occupantName ,smoking,
bedtype)
def cancelReservation(self,occupantName)
def findReservation(self,occupantName):
def printReservationList(self)
def getDailySales(self) :
def occupancyPercentage(self) :
Setters and getters methods for name and location.

4. isFull() – returns a boolean that is true if all the rooms in the hotel are occupied.
5. isEmpty() – returns a boolean that is true if all the rooms in the hotel are unoccupied.
6. The addReservation() method takes three parameters: the occupant’s name
(String), smoking or non-smoking request (char), and the requested bed type (String).
When this method is called, the hotel will search the list of its rooms for one that matches
the bed type and smoking/non-smoking attributes. If an unoccupied room with the correct
attributes is found, the renter's name will be set and the occupied attribute will be set
to true. In either case a message will be printed that will state whether or not the
reservation was made.
7. When the cancelReservation() method executes, the hotel will search for the
name of the visitor in each room. If it is found, the occupied attribute will be set to false.
In either case a message will state whether or not the reservation was cancelled. This
method calls the private utility method findReservation()to scan the list of rooms
looking for a guest by name. It will return the index of the room in the Array of rooms
or NOT_FOUND if the room is not found, which will be declared as:
NOT_FOUND = -1;
8. findReservation() will take in a String representing the occupant’s name and
search the occupied rooms for a reservation with that person’s name. It will return the
index of the room or NOT_FOUND if not found.
9. printReservationList() will scan through all the rooms and display all details
for only those rooms that are occupied. For example:

Room Number: 102
Occupant name: Pinto
Smoking room: n
Bed Type: king
Rate: 110.0
Room Number: 103
Occupant name: Wilson
Smoking room: n
Bed Type: king
Rate: 88.0
10. getDailySales() will scan the room list, adding up the dollar amounts of the room
rates of all occupied rooms only.
11. occupancyPercentage() will divide occupiedCnt by the total number of rooms to
provide an occupancy percentage.
12. __str__ – returns a nicely formatted string giving hotel and room details (by calling
the __str__ in the Room class) for all the rooms in the hotel. For example:
Hotel Name : Beach Marriot
Number of Rooms : 5
Number of Occupied Rooms : 1

Room Details are:

Room Number: 101
Occupant name: Not Occupied
Smoking room: s
Bed Type: queen
Rate: 100.0
Room Number: 102
Occupant name: Coffey
Smoking room: n
Bed Type: king
Rate: 110.0
Room Number: 103
Occupant name: Wilson
Smoking room: n
Bed Type: king
Rate: 88.0
Room Number: 104
Occupant name: Not Occupied

Smoking room: s
Bed Type: twin
Rate: 100.0
Room Number: 105
Occupant name: Not Occupied
Smoking room: n
Bed Type: queen
Rate: 99.0

13. The Room class diagram will look like this:

Room

roomNum: int
bedType: String
rate: double
occupantName: String
smoking: char
occupied: boolean
def __init__(int,String,char,double)
def getBedType(): String
def getSmoking(): char       
def getRoomNum(): int
def getRoomRate(): double
def getOccupant(): String
def setOccupied(boolean)
def setOccupant(String)
def setRoomNum(int)
def setBedType(String)
def setRate(double)
def setSmoking(char)
def isOccupied(): boolean

1. The __init__() for a Room takes an int (room number), String (bed type), char (s or n for
smoking or non-smoking)), and a double (room rate).
2. isOccupied() method returns true if the room is occupied, false otherwise.

3. __str__() provides all the details of a room - room number, name of guest(if
occupied) , bed type, smoking/non-smoking, rental rate. This should all be formatted
nicely with one attribute on each line using the '\n' escape character. See example above.
4. Several accessor and mutator methods for the Room class.

# Use list to store the room details.
You have to store required data in the list/database. You can store hotel name, address, and
all rooms. Customer data in database tables.
