Trace the development of the first British colonies in North America. What specific problems did the Roanoke and Jamestown colonists face? Why did the Jamestown colony survive? How were Plymouth and the Northern colonies different from Virginia? How did events in England and Europe affect American colonization? What set British colonies apart from those of other European empires?

Bank of America got bailed out, but Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail. The insurance company American International Group (AIG) was rescued, but in July federal authorities refused to bail out a significant lender to small and medium-sized businesses, the CIT Group (not to be confused with Citigroup, which did get bailed out). What is the logic behind these decisions? Who is being bailed out—and who should be? Was the AIG bailout necessary in your view?

1. Create the directory tree above in your /home/username folder using at most three (3) mkdir commands

2. Use the ‘cat’ utility to create two text files called “nfile1” & “nfile2” in the “notes” directory. “nfile1” should contain the names of persons (at least 2 persons).

3. Use the vi editor to create a simple text file, then save & quit. Briefly explain the various modes of vi and show how to delete a character, a word and a line

4. Use the ‘tar’ utility to create an archive file of the ‘labs’ directory. Name your archive file labs.tar. Show how you can retrieve the contents from the labs.tar file.

5. Move the file “nfile2” into the “unix” directory.

6. Copy the file “nfile1” into the “java” directory.

7. Show how you would create the files “test1”, “test2”, & “test3” in the “test” directory to ensure that they have the same file creation date/time.

Fragmental Co. leased a portion of its store to another company for eight months beginning on October 1, at a monthly rate of $1,150. Fragmental collected the entire $9,200 cash on October 1 and recorded it as unearned revenue. Assuming adjusting entries are only made at year-end, the adjusting entry made by Fragmental Co. on December 31 would be:

Multiple Choice

• A debit to Rent Revenue and a credit to Cash for $3,450.

• A debit to Rent Revenue and a credit to Unearned Rent for $3,450.

• A debit to Cash and a credit to Rent Revenue for $9,200.

• A debit to Unearned Rent and a credit to Rent Revenue for $3,450.

• A debit to Unearned Rent and a credit to Rent Revenue for $5,750

Traditionally Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) has followed foreign trade since foreign trade is typically less costly and risky than making a direct investment into foreign markets. Entering a market via FDI allows management to enter the market in small increments controlling their investment. However, the globalization of markets is challenging this traditional market entry strategy.

For example, you have probably noticed that currency risk and fluctuations, such as the weaker dollar, higher euro - and sovereign financial debt and austerity measures in countries and ECB actions have been at the forefront of economic discussions for a number of years. In the midst, some time ago there was discussion in Washington on the Chinese purchase of Smithfield. InBev, the Belgian-Brazilian beer company, led the way in 2008 by acquiring Anheuser-Busch. For America needs businesses from the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and businesses from all over the world to take a new look at the U.S. market. Investments by foreign firms are vital to fund growth and expansion of the U.S. companies. The United States generally remains the largest single recipient of foreign direct investment in the world for recent several years.

How is this new international business environment causing the path to market expansion to change. How would you analyze this development and purchase of American companies by businesses from emerging economies?

11. You have discovered a new species of vampire bat in South America (which you have named Desmodus knoxensis!), and you wish to answer several questions about its behavior.

a) Based on your observations over a few years, you conclude that the mating system in D. knoxensis is lek polygyny. What sorts of observations and behaviors do you record in males and females over the years to reach this conclusion? (6 points)

b) In D. knoxensis, males have long, heavy flaps of fluorescent bare skin (purple and yellow, of course) that dangle from their wings as they fly. Suggest ONE hypothesis for this sexually selected trait and provide an explanation. (6 points)

You have discovered a new species of vampire bat in South America (which you have named Desmodus knoxensis!), and you wish to answer several questions about its behavior.

Given the fact that D. knoxensis females and juveniles roost together in hollow trees like other vampire bats, you hypothesize that vampire bat roosts act as information centers, a hypothesis that requires FOUR pieces of evidence (list them below). Based on your knowledge of a related vampire bat species (D. rotundus), what evidence is ALREADY AVAILABLE to support this hypothesis or what evidence would STILL BE REQUIRED (give details for both)? (12 points)

Evidence required for Information Center Hypothesis / Available or not? (Explain below each required piece of evidence: whether it is available and what observations support this hypothesis in D. rotundus. If not available state what observations would be needed to support the required evidence.):

PureCoffee

PureCoffee imports high quality coffee beans from Africa and South America. They roast the beans in a innovative process slowly and gently to create a unique taste of coffee. Pure Coffee serves three markets (M1, M2, and M3) in Europe. Market demand for the next week is given in the following table.

To serve Europe they have two roasting plants available - one in the North of Europe (N) and one in the South of Europe (S).

Currently they are using two distribution centers in Europe to connect the roasting plants with markets. They ship the roasted beans from the production sites to the distribution centers and distribute from there to three different markets.
The cost to transport a ton of roasted beans from a roasting plant to a dibstrution center and from the distribution center to the customers depends on the distances between the different locations. These costs are given in the two tables below:

1. PureCoffee wants to minimize the total weekly cost. They ask you to optimize the roasted beans flow from the processing facilities to their customers.

In the optimal solution, what is the minimum total weekly cost of moving roasted beans from roasting plants to customers? Enter your answer in Euros without a currency symbol.

2. How many tons of roasted beans should PureCoffee ship through Distribution Center B per week?
