McKibbin and Wilcoxen (2002) provide a detailed analysis of the policy design challenges that attend choosing between a carbon tax and an emission trading scheme (ETS). The textbook answer suggest that both will be efficient. However, the tax effectively sets price and the policy maker might need to iteratively adjust the tax to impact on the quantity of pollution. In contrast, an ETS sets the quantity of pollution and allows the market for permits to establish a price. Read the article by McKibbin and Wilcoxen carefully, especially pages 116-122. Explain the benefits of a tax versus an ETS and vice versa and the role of uncertainty. Why do the authors settle on a hybrid policy choice? (Maximum word limit 350 words)

A wealthy individual is admitted to your hospital. He was diagnosed 48 hours ago with kidney failure and needs a transplant. He is placed on the transplant list, but is advised it will probably take months or years to obtain a kidney. Suddenly, today an individual arrives with a foreign appearing man, who doesn't speak English and appears unkempt. He states he is the patient's "cousin" and wishes to "gift" a kidney to your patient. What rules apply to organ donation? Who oversees them? Is this illegal activity or OK? What is the hospital's obligation in "policing" the source of donated organs? 500 word response and use own words - not copy and paste from Google.

Article- Disney Takes A Gamble On Price Elasticity With Mulan

In Unit 7, we talked about firms’ ability to set price depending on the price elasticity of demand, which in turn can be influenced by a number of factors such as availability of substitutes, consumers’ tastes and preferences, and so on.

You might have heard about Disney’s recent release of Mulan on its streaming platform Disney+.

Post 1. What are the justifications for Disney to set the price for streaming of the movie at $30 on top of the Disney+ subscription fee $7? Explain in 50-100 words.

Post 2. Do you think the price elasticity of demand for Mulan is elastic or inelastic? Discuss in 100-150 word

The Sampson Company is considering a project that requires an initial outlay of $75,000 and produces cash inflows of $20,806 each year for five years. Sampson’s cost of capital is 10%.

a. Calculate the project’s payback period by making a single division rather than accumulating cash inflows. Why is this possible in this case?

b. Calculate the project’s IRR, recognizing the fact that the cash inflows are an annuity. Is the project acceptable? Did your calculation in this part result in any number(s) that were also calculated in part (a)? What is it about this problem that creates this similarity? Will this always happen in such cases?

c. What is the project’s NPV? Is the project acceptable according to NPV rules?

Python: Devising a secret code that maps 'one' to 'two'. We send 'o' to 't', 'n' to 'w' and 'e' to 'o'.

Can't find any code that sends 'five' to 'ten', as the words have different length.

Can't find a code that sends 'foo' to 'bar', as we would need 'o' to represent 'a' and 'r'.

Likewise we cannot send 'four' to 'aaaa', as there would be no way to map the letters back.

How would I write this Boolean function?

Write a Boolean function secret_code() that decides if we can find a code that sends one word to another and back again.

    def secret_code(word1: str, word2: str) -> bool:
