. Block A and Block B start from rest on a horizontal track. An ideal string pulls cart A with a constant force of 25 N, causing both of the carts to move together as they accelerate. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the track is 0.10. Block A= 4.0kg and Block B= 1.0kg (pulled horizontally) Determine the magnitude of each individual force that acts on Block A and each individual force that acts on Block B.

Answer each sub-question by stating whether the term indicated would increase, decrease, stay the same, or not enough info to say. (Note: “increase” and “decrease” refer to the absolute value.)

a) In the binomial distribution, as N decreases, what happens to the value of the most likely outcome when P = .50?

B. For any N, as P increases from .10 to .50, what happens to the value of the most likely outcome?

C. For any N, as P increases from .50 to .90, what happens to the value of the most likely outcome?

D. When P = .5, what happens to the probability of the most likely individual outcome, as N increases?

E. When P = .8, what happens to the probability of the most likely individual outcome, as N increases?

F. In the binomial distribution, what happens to the value of the most likely individual outcome as N increases and, at the same time, P increases?

G) When P = .5, what happens to the individual probabilities of the very most extreme outcomes (that is, the very highest and lowest possible outcomes) as N increases?

Please show work. Thank You.

A Business School far-far away would like to build a new building. They need to get

enough funding for it, and the Dean argues that part of the money should come from

increased tuitions. The Board of the university disagrees, as you are a public school, and

you should keep the cost of education at an affordable level for every strata of society. The Dean argues that getting your Business degree is still a far superior investment than any financial asset. For this, he asks you to estimate the return on getting the degree, and present your findings to the Board of the University to support his argument with data.

1. What is your LHS variable and variable of interest on the RHS? (2 pts)

2. Think about the economic model. What are the determinants of (your future) wage?(Give me 5 factors at least for 5 pts)

3.You are expecting data on randomly selected individuals that includes their wage,

education level, gender and some more socio-economic characteristics. However, you are provided only with a limited number of variables for now. First, they give you wage (monthly, $), education level (years) and age (years) of the person, but they are nice enough to only give information about the group of people who work in business. Write down a standard linear model WITH ALL ITS ASSUMPTIONS for his particular application, using the variables given above. What factors are included in the unobservables according to your economic intuition (in b))? (10 pts)

4.Do you believe the exogeneity assumption of the linear model? Write down why (you do or do not believe it) in this particular example. (5 pts)

Please answer all questions fully

Case Study-2

International trade theories argue that nations should open their doors to trade Conventional free trade wisdom says that by trading with others, a country can offer its citizens a greater volume and selection of goods at cheaper prices than it could in the absence of it. Nevertheless, truly free trade still does not exist because national governments intervene. Despite the efforts of WTO (World Trade Organization) and smaller groups of nations, government seems to be crying foul in the trade game now more than ever before.

We see efforts at protectionism in the rising trends in governments charging foreign producers for "dumping" their goods on the world market. Worldwide, the number of anti-dumping cases that were initiated stood at about 150 in 2014, 225 in 2015, 230 in 2016, and 300 in 2017.

There is no shortage of similar examples. The US charges Brazil, Japan, and Russia with dumping their products in the US market as a way out of tough economic times. The US steel industry wants the government to slap a 200 percent tariff on certain types of steel. But car makers in US are not complaining, and General Motors even spoke out against the anti-dumping charges — as it is enjoying the benefits of low cost steel for the use in its auto production. Canadian steel makers followed the lead of the US and are pushing for anti-dumping actions against four nations.

Emerging markets too, are jumping into the fray. Mexico recently expanded coverage of its Automatic Import Advice System. The system requires importers (from a selected list of countries) to notify Mexican officials of the amount and price of the shipment 10 days prior to its expected arrivals in Mexico. The ten day notice gives domestic producers advance warning of incoming low priced products so they can complain of dumping before the product clear customs and enter the market place. India is also getting onboard by setting up a new government agency to handle anti-dumping cases.

Why dumping is on the rise for the first place? The WTO has made major inroads on the use of tariffs, slashing them across every product category in recent years. But the WTO does not have the authority to punish companies, but only governments. Thus the WTO cannot pass judgments against individual companies that are dumping their products in other markets. It can only pass the rulings against the governments of the country that imposes anti-dumping duty. But the WTO allows countries to retaliate against nations whose producers are suspected of dumping when it can be shown that:

i) The alleged offenders are significantly hurting the domestic producers.

ii) The export price is lower than the cost of production or lower than the home market price.

Supporters of anti-dumping tariff claim that they prevent dumpers from undercutting the price charged by the producers in a target market and driving them about of business. Another claim in support of anti-dumping is that it is an excellent way of retaining some protection against the potential dangers of totally free trade. Detractors of anti-dumping tariffs charge that once the tariffs are imposed they are rarely removed. They also claim that they cost companies and governments a great deal of time and money to file and argue their cases. It is argued that the fear of being charged with dumping causes international competitors to keep their price higher in the target market than would have otherwise be the case. This would allow domestic companies to charge higher prices and not loose market shares forcing consumers to pay more for their goods.

Required Question

Questions 01: Based on the above case study, evaluate the effects of dumping on domestic business and also on the consumers

Question 02: As we have seen WTO cannot currently get involved in punishing individual companies for dumping. Its action can be only directed towards governments of countries. Do you think this is a wise policy? Justify your answer.
