Norton Company produces two products (Juno and Hera) that use the same material input. Juno uses two pounds of the material for every unit produced, and Hera uses five pounds. Currently, Norton has 16,000 pounds of the material in inventory. All of the material is imported. For the coming year, Norton plans to import an additional 8,000 pounds to produce 2,000 units of Juno and 4,000 units of Hera. The unit contribution margin is $30 for Juno and $60 for Hera. Also, assume that Norton's marketing department estimates that the company can sell a maximum of 2,000 units of Juno and 4,000 units of Hera. Norton has received word that the source of the material has been shut down by embargo. Consequently, the company will not be able to import the 8,000 pounds it planned to use in the coming year's production. There is no other source of the material. Required: 1. Compute the total contribution margin that the company would earn if it could manufacture 2,000 units of Juno and 4,000 units of Hera. $ 300,000 2. Determine the optimal usage of the company's inventory of 16,000 pounds of the material. Product mix is units of Juno and units of Hera. Compute the total contribution margin for the product mix that you recommend. $ 204,000

A stereotype can be defined as a preconceived notion, usually about a group of people. It is a widely held oversimplified image, behavior or idea of a group or people, a type of person, or a thing. Stereotypes and references to them can be seen in all aspects of society. Although the idea of stereotypes has been a part of history for many years, many of the stereotypical ideas have changed and adapted to modern times.

For your assignment, you will focus on modern stereotypes that you see in your culture and environment. You will first explain 2-3 different stereotypes that you feel are predominant, and look at them more in-depth. They might relate to technology, behaviors of your generation, or other new themes.

Then, in your 650-750 word essay, you will respond to the following questions:

• Why do you feel popularly mentioned and used stereotypes change over time?
• Throughout history, race and gender played a large role in stereotypical designations. Are those still a large issue in society today? Why or why not?
• As you learn more about stereotypes and gender/race relations, do you feel that stereotypes are positive or negative to an individual or group? What leads you to that conclusion?

1- What is codetermination? Describe both the theoretical concept and its implications and compare theory to practice in Germany. Why does Germany rely on codetermination? Does codetermination have any role in the success of the German Mittelstand? Senator Elizabeth Warren suggested that the institution of codetermination should be brought to US corporations. How would that impact US corporations?

2- According to Hayek’s article “The Use of Knowledge in Society,” what is the fundamental role of prices in the economy? Why does Hayek use the word marvel when he describes the price mechanism? What happens when prices are determined by the state rather than by the interaction of many buyers and many sellers in the marketplace? Discuss the differences in allocative efficiency between a capitalist and a socialist economic system as they relate to the price mechanism in each system.

3- Lewis's two-sector model is said to be a good description of industrialization in East Asia. What is the essence of this model? Use the graphs to represent the two sectors and explain in detail the dynamics of the labor movement between the two sectors. What is the model’s relevance to understanding economic growth in Asia? Discuss the long-term implications of economic growth in East Asian economics systems.

Your supervisor has been asked many questions about how the economy works and why the idea of limited resources is such a major concern in today’s economy. As a result, she has asked you to prepare a report on the topics.

Specifically, your supervisor has asked you to prepare the following:

A circular flow diagram that includes the government sector. For this part of your report, you should include a description of the roles that each participant plays in the economy and how the different sectors interact in the markets.

An illustration of the Production Possibilities model, including a summary of what the model is illustrating and the economic implications for the economy.

An explanation of why or why not trade with other countries is beneficial to an economy and how international trade fits into the circular flow diagram.

An explanation of the difference between micro and macro economics, indicating why the division is necessary.

Deliverables: Prepare a 5-6 page Microsoft Word document that addresses the above tasks and meets APA standards.

3.Considering the information in table above, what proportion of respondents were first married at the ages of 24 and 26 (5 pts)?

When you determine if there is an association between two variables, it is also important for you to determine how strong or weak that association is. This is why, when you have data for two quantitative variables, you calculate what is called the coefficient for correlation.

Instructions

1. Suppose you are determining the association between the weight of a car and the miles per gallon that the car gets. Answer the following questions in a Word document:

• define correlation and explain how you can use correlation to determine the relationship between these two variables.
• Before you look at some data, what kind of association do you think will exist between the weight of a car and the miles per gallon that the car gets? Will it be positive or negative?
• Given the data below, use Excel or other technology to calculate the correlation coefficient for this data:

Model

• Now that you have calculated the correlation, what does this value represent? What does it tell you about the relationship between these two variables?

Role of Government in Providing Health Insurance for Other Sections

The government provides health insurance to low-income individuals, the elderly, and the disabled. These individuals cannot afford private health insurance and would be uninsured if government insurance did not exist. Medicaid and Medicare are entitlement programs, while SCHIP is a block grant program.

On the basis of your knowledge on Medicaid, Medicare and SCHIP, write a 3- to 4-page essay in a Microsoft Word document on these government insurance programs. Your essay should include answers to the following questions:

Compare and contrast the three major government health insurances. Include eligibility, administrative jurisdiction, and method of financing.

Compare the Medicaid program in the state you reside in with a Medicaid program in another state. Should Medicaid programs be uniform throughout the United States? Explain why or why not.

Compare the structure and eligibility rules for SCHIP in your state and SCHIP in another state. Do you think that SCHIP should be uniform throughout the United States? Why or why not?

Describe entitlement and block grant programs. How are these two programs different?

Should all government health insurances be entitlement programs or should they all be block grant programs? Why?

Variables typically included in a multivariate supply function (other than the price and quantity of the item the supply function represents) are prices of other goods that use similar input resources for production, the number of suppliers, techniques of production, taxes and subsidies, prices of input resources, weather, and expectations. Please answer the following questions about the affect changes in other variables might have on the supply of the item. These changes will either cause supply to increase (shift right) or decrease (shift left). Use either word as applicable, for the short answer.
