If you a buy a house for $150,000, live in it for more than two years, and sell it for $350,000 you pay NO TAX on this $200,000 realized gain. By contrast, if you invest $150,000 in a stock and sell the stock for $350,00 after more than one year, you must pay long term capital gains taxes of 15% on the $200,000 realized net long term capital gain. Why is this different treatment, which favors real estate over stock investments, built into the tax code?

All the Greek tragedies center on man's failure because of "hubris." Many eyes are watching billionaire Elon Musk's progress in pushing out the Tesla Model 3. Do you think Elon used the AFN equation when he built the new battery factory and adapted an old Toyota facility to build the Model 3? Did Tesla grow too fast? Do you think Elon will make it? How might he have done it better?

4. Imagine that you are asked to choose between two businesses (electric companies) that will supply electricity to your home. One of these electric companies burns coal in a facility built in 1963. It has not been retrofitted with pollution-control equipment, but it offers electricity at a relatively low price. The other firm has been retrofitted with pollution-control equipment and generates a large percentage of its electricity from dams, windmills, and solar panels but its price for electricity is almost 50% higher.

Write a function in any functional programming language that will reverse a general list. For example, if an input is (A (B C (D E)) F), output is (F ((E D) C B) A).  Please note that any built-in/pre-defined function, e.g., reverse, cannot be used in your answer.

Please DO NOT hard-code any input values, output values in your code.

Please submit a screenshot of where your code got compiled, executed, showing the execution result

Imagine that your Marketing Strategy is going to revolve around Digital Marketing. Provide a Digital Marketing Strategy for a High-tech backpack (approximately 1000 words). The following are the features of a high-tech backpack. A solar-powered battery pack. Bluetooth speakers with 96 hours of playing time. A built-in phone charger. 5 USB ports. A tracking device in case it ever gets lost or stolen. A price tag of $250

How do I set up a basic DC generator circuit?

I have a tiny generator that I need to use to harvest energy and power an LED. The first way I set up the circuit didn't work. I'm thinking it should be done like this:

red cable from generator -> resistor -> long end of LED -> short end of LED -> black wire to generator

Note that the prof calls it a motor. I'm not sure if this would affect how the circuit should be built?

Keynesian economists focus on the short run business cycle-are we going into another recession or not? If unemploymnet increases then federal unemployment benefits are paid out.

Classical economists focus on what the economic growth rate will be for the next 10 or 20 years. Are there enough incentives built into the economy to promote technological innovation and new business?

Environmentalists worry that the focus on growth-whether short term or long term increases environmental damage and climate change.

Which group would you most identify with and why?

Create a random matrix of size 10x10, of integers between 1 and 1000, and use nested for loops over the elements of the matrix to find the number of prime elements , as well as the sum of the prime elements in the matrix.

• You can use MATLAB's built-in function isprime to check if an element is a prime number.
• You should have these variable:
  • cnt (counts the number of prime elements)
  • sm (sum of prime elements)
• In the command window print this sentence followed by a new line

There are ....  prime numbers and their sum is ...

Make the following matlab function.

D=inverses(A)

It takes the input of an nxn matrixA.

First, the function has to determine whether A is invertible (you may want to use the function rank to do that). If A is not invertible, the function has to return an empty matrix D=[ ]; and terminates with a message “Matrix A is not invertible”.

If A is invertible, then the function reduces the matrix [A eye(n)] into the reduced echelon form and returns the matrix D that is the inverse of the matrix A. You can use a MATLAB built-in function rref for this part.

The founding fathers divided our system of government into three distinct branches. What are these branches and how did the founding fathers justify each branch of government as necessary for a healthy Republic? Do you think that the founding fathers reflected on the notion of gridlock as they explored the checks and balances built into the three branches? How does this relate to rules and norms that are designed to safeguard the minority from the will of the majority? Is this something that the founding fathers were concerned with as they negotiated our founding principles? Why or why not?
