Analyze 1 of the following government intervention programs:

• Countercyclical fiscal policies (countering economic disruptions such as the housing bubble and the Great Recession)
• US agriculture support programs
• Assistance for Low Income Families (choose 1)
• Housing vouchers
• Earned Income Tax Credit (including Child Tax Credit)
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

• Medicaid (including Children's Health Insurance Program).
• Affordable Care Act expansion
• Social insurance programs (choose 1)
• Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI)
• Medicare
• Unemployment insurance

Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary of your analysis. Identify the intervention and the market failure leading up to the intervention. Complete the following in your paper:

• Analyze the arguments for government intervention as opposed to arguments for market-based solutions.Hint:See the information about market failures.
• Examine who has been helped and who has been hurt by the selected government intervention.
• Examine externalities and unintended consequences of such intervention. For example, consider whether the SNAP program and health coverage for low-income families result in higher future tax revenues because low-income children grow up healthier and produce higher incomes over their lifetimes.
• Analyze whether cost of the intervention you selected as a share of GDP or the number of participants is increasing,decreasing, or varies with the state of the economy, based on the cost trend(or number of participants) since its inception or since 2000.
• Analyze credible economists’ opinions on the success or failure of the intervention that you chose in achieving its objectives.
• Recommend whether the program should be continued as is, discontinued, or modified based on your conclusions. Defend your recommendation.

Chris P. Bacon is the chief accountant for CV Industries, a large manufacturing company. In addition to its normal business activities, the company has excess warehouse space that it rents out to local businesses. Because the typical renter is a small business, CV Industries requires renters to make lease payments for the entire rental period on the day the lease is signed. As a result, CV Industries typically reports a large unearned rent balance on its balance sheet.

After making adjusting entries for the current year, Chris prepares the adjusted trial balance and notices that the company's earnings will decline significantly. He presents the adjusted trial balance to the company's CFO, Antonio Beldin, who is concerned about the earnings decline. Mr. Beldin notices the large unearned rent balance and proposes making an additional end-of-period adjusting entry to recognize the entire unearned rent balance as revenue in the current period. Chris protests, reminding Mr. Beldin that the adjusting entry for unearned rent has already been made. Mr. Beldin assures Chris that his proposal is acceptable, reminding Chris that “because we have already received the cash, we have the right to recognize the revenue in the current period.” He instructs Chris to make the additional adjusting journal entry. Chris is hesitant to follow these instructions, but he is sensitive to the company's emphasis on earnings growth and makes the adjusting entry as instructed.

Is Chris behaving ethically? Please let us know why or why not? Who is affected by Chris's decision?

Consider a diagnostic test for a hypothetical disease based on measuring the amount of a certain biomarker present in blood. High levels of the biomarker are often found in individuals with the disease, but a number of non-disease conditions can also cause high levels of the biomarker. Individuals without the disease have biomarker levels that are normally distributed with mean 1.6 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter of blood), and standard deviation 0.50 ng/mL. Individuals with the disease have biomarker levels that are normally distributed with mean 5 ng/mL and standard deviation 1.2 ng/mL. Values of 2.5 ng/mL and higher constitute a positive test result. i. Compute the accuracy of the test for those who have the disease and the accuracy of the test for those who do not have the disease. In a population where 6% of individuals are thought to have the hypothetical disease, calculate the probability that an individual who tests positive has the disease.

A university financial aid office polled a random sample of 528 male undergraduate students and 419 female undergraduate students. Each of the students was asked whether or not they were employed during the previous summer. 404 of the male students and 248 of the female students said that they had worked during the previous summer. Give a 80% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of male and female students who were employed during the summer.
