Dear Colleague,
Earlier today I built my seventh website using HTML5, CSS3, and Bootstrap4. Bootstrap seems amazing, but it never did what it should do – make my website look better. Also, my page should have a blue theme that was provided in the CSS folder. This also didn’t work.
My website is supposed to look like what is shown in Figure 1 (see below). Someone told me that there are exactly 10 errors on index.html, 10 errors on contact.html, and 10 errors on events.html. Yes, 30 errors total! Can you help me find all of the errors?
Hint: You should not add ANY LINES to the code. There
will never be more than one error per line number.

<h2>Try Boro Events</h2>
<p>The Try Boro Kids Races Series is a non-profit
organization that puts on unique endurance vents to help get kids
active. Founded in 2009 with one triathlon. This event was hosted
by Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation and their SportsCom facility.
That first year saw 175 kids swim, bike, and run and since then the
series has hosted 17 events. For the past 4 years, the series has
hosted a 2.5K/5K Run in May, a triathlon in August, and a trail in
October. </p>
<p>In 2016, the series is partnering with the
Better Boro Project, which is part of an initiative by the city of
Murfreesboro to promote health and fitness. As part of this
initiative, the Try Boro Kids Race Series will host the clinics in
April, 2.5K/5K Run in May, and the trail run in October. The series
will also provide support for other events such as Read to Succeed
and Murph's Fun Run.</p>

Problem 2-13 (algorithmic) |
Question Help |
Barcelona Machine Tools. Oriol D'ez Miguel S.R.L., a manufacturer of heavy duty machine tools near Barcelona, ships an order to a buyer in Jordan. The purchase price is
€422,000. Jordan imposes a 14% import duty on all products purchased from the European Union. The Jordanian importer then re-exports the product to a Saudi Arabian importer, but only after imposing its own resale fee of 28%.
Given the following spot exchange rates on April 11, 2010, what is the total cost to the Saudi Arabian importer in Saudi Arabian riyal, and what is the U.S. dollar equivalent of that price? (Click on the

Prepare a schedule showing the amortization of a $12,000 loan to be repaid in 10 end-of-year installments that include interest at a rate of 6%. Jared and Courtney Jill own a parcel of fertile farm land which a local farmer has offered to rent for a period of 10 years. He is willing to make a payment of $20,000 today or pay an ordinary annuity of $3,400 at the end of each of the next 10 years. Which payment method should Jared and Courtney accept if the appropriate rate of return is 9%? A group of five faculty members at a Midwest University have recently purchased several acres near the school. They plan to gravel it and rent the parking spaces to commuting students. The cost of the project is $100,000. They paid $25,000 cash and are financing the balance with a note at 7.0% annual interest to be paid off in five equal annual payments with the first payment to be made at the end of the first year. The rental receipts are to be placed in an account for future improvements and cannot be used to repay the loan. If the annual payments are shared equally, how much would each member need to contribute annually to pay off the loan?

We are learning quite a bit about market structures in this module week's summit session. Hopefully, you have had the opportunity to discuss market structures with your colleagues leading up to this activity. Now, let's dig a little deeper into market structures. In this activity, you will draft a document addressing the following topics:
- Identify the differences between all four market structures in the short-run and long-run. This will be helpful as many of you may hold management positions and/or become entrepreneurs in the near future. When deciding what type of firm to own or operate, you may find that one market structure may be more advantageous over another based on short-run and long-run costs.
- Explain the significance that the average total cost (ATC) curve has on profit and loss based on each type of market structure. Explore how the ATC curve affects all four market structures and identify whether firms will earn a profit or loss based on the placement of the ATC curve and price.

Managerial Analysis
Elliot & Hesse Inc. manufactures ergonomic devices for computer users. Some of its more popular products include anti-glare filters and privacy filters (for computer monitors) and keyboard stands with wrist rests. Over the past 5 years, it experienced rapid growth, with sales of all products increasing 20% to 50% each year.
Last year, some of the primary manufacturers of computers began introducing new products with some of the ergonomic designs, such as anti-glare filters and wrist rests, already built in. As a result, sales of Elliot & Hesse's accessory devices have declined somewhat. The company believes that the privacy filters will probably continue to show growth, but that the other products will probably continue to decline. When the next year's budget was prepared, increases were built into research and development so that replacement products could be developed or the company could expand into some other product line. Some product lines being considered are general-purpose ergonomic devices including back supports, foot rests, and sloped writing pads.
The most recent results have shown that sales decreased more than was expected for the anti-glare filters. As a result, the company may have a shortage of funds. Top management has therefore asked that all expenses be reduced 10% to compensate for these reduced sales. Summary budget information is as follows.

Instructions
Using the information above, answer the following questions.
(a)What are the implications of reducing each of the costs? For example, if the company reduces direct materials costs, it may have to do so by purchasing lower-quality materials. This may affect sales in the long run.
(b)Based on your analysis in (a), what do you think is the best way to obtain the $70,000 in cost savings requested? Be specific. Are there any costs that cannot or should not be reduced? Why?

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15.00 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost. Last year, the company sold 30,000 of these balls, with the following results:
Sales (30,000 balls) $ 750,000
Variable expenses 450,000
Contribution margin 300,000
Fixed expenses 210,000
Net operating income $ 90,000
Required: 1. Compute (a) last year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls, and (b) the degree of operating leverage at last year’s sales level.
2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that next year's variable expenses will increase by $3.00 per ball. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25.00, what will be next year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls?
3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?
4. Refer again to the data in (2) above. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year (as computed in requirement 1a), what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?
5. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company’s new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?
6. Refer to the data in (5) above. a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?

Elastic and inelastic supply
The following graph shows the supply of a good
For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic.
Elastic Inelastic Region
Between Y and Z
Between W and X
True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes more elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to further increase production.

True or False
1) in a population regression model, we assume the errors are independent of each other and normally distributed with constant variance
2) when we apply the ordinary least squares to estimate the slope and intercept of a linear model, the sum of all the residuals can be less than or greater than zero
3) if SSE is near zero in a regression, the statistician will conclude that the proposed model probably has too poor a fit to be useful
