a. Suppose you buy a new pair of headphones. Is your purchase rival or non-rival? Is it excludable or nonexcludable? Briefly explain why.

b. Suppose that by living in the United States, you benefit from strategic reserves of petroleum held by the U.S. government (Links to an external site.). Is your benefit rival or non-rival? Is it excludable or nonexcludable? Briefly explain why.

5. A postage stamp is something offered by the federal government in the United States. Think about a postage stamp in the context of rival/non-rival and excludable/nonexcludable. With that in mind, is a postage stamp classified as a "private good" or "public good" in the United States?

You are working as an assistant to your cousin, who is an architect. She is currently designing the lobby for a new luxury hotel. The lobby will include a walkway suspended above the main level. Her design will include the following features. Above the walkway, attached at various points along its length, will be vertical steel cables of diameter 1.27 cm and unstressed length 5.35 m. These cables will run upward from the walkway and be attached to a rigid beam in the internal structure of the lobby. Below each point of attachment of a vertical cable will be an aluminum column on which the walkway rests. Each column is a hollow cylinder of inner diameter 16.34 cm and outer diameter 16.44 cm. Before the walkway is installed, the columns will extend 3.25 m from the floor of the lobby to the height at which the bottom of the walkway will lie. Suppose the walkway and any individuals walking on it exert a downward force of magnitude F = 8,800 N on a particular attachment point to a cable above and the corresponding column below. Before committing to this design, your cousin asks you to determine how far the point of attachment of the walkway will move downward under these load conditions.

F = 8,600 N

on a particular attachment point to a cable above and the corresponding column below. Before committing to this design, your cousin asks you to determine how far the point of attachment of the walkway will move downward under these load conditions.

An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waiting time (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders more efficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have been proposed. To account for potential differences due to the type of ride and the possible interaction between the method of loading and unloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment was designed. Use the following data to test for any significant effect due to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, and interaction. Use . Factor A is method of loading and unloading; Factor B is the type of ride.

Set up the ANOVA table (to whole number, but -value to 2 decimals and  value to 1 decimal, if necessary).

1. A company buys a machine for $72,000 that has an expected life of 4 years and no salvage value. The company anticipates a yearly net income of $3,450 after taxes of 30%, with the cash flows to be received evenly throughout each year. What is the accounting rate of return?

a. 6.71% b. 9.58% c. 4.79% d. 2.87% e. 19.17%

2. Park Co. is considering an investment that requires immediate payment of $35,000 and provides expected cash inflows of $12,000 annually for four years. What is the investment's payback period?

3. Project A requires a $425,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five-year life and a salvage value of $38,500. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $27,000 per year for the next five years.

Compute Project A’s accounting rate of return.

We are studying Mental Illnesses this week and I am stuck!!

The emergency medical services (EMS) team has brought a 54­-year-old female patient to the emergency department where you are working. The EMS personnel state that the patient was found wandering in a nearby park by a jogger, who called 911 from her cell phone after the woman screamed obscenities at her and then fell, seriously scraping her arm and face. The woman is bleeding, disoriented, combative, and accusing the EMS team of stealing her purse. Her hands are shaking severely, and she is shouting at the doctors and nurses that she needs a bottle. The woman’s clothing is dirty, and you can smell stale body odor and urine.

Critical thinking Questions

1. Based on your first impressions of this patient’s actions and appearance, what do you suspect she is suffering from?

2. What short­ and long-term health risks would you suspect this patient faces?

3. Why do you think the patient’s hands are shaking, and what do you think causes her confusion and combativeness?

4. What assessments do you think are needed for this patient?

Below each point of attachment of a vertical cable will be an aluminum column on which the walkway rests. Each column is a hollow cylinder of inner diameter 16.04 cm and outer diameter 16.18 cm. Before the walkway is installed, the columns will extend 3.25 m from the floor of the lobby to the height at which the bottom of the walkway will lie. Suppose the walkway and any individuals walking on it exert a downward force of magnitude F = 8,900 N on a particular attachment point to a cable above and the corresponding column below. Before committing to this design, your cousin asks you to determine how far the point of attachment of the walkway will move downward under these load conditions.

A survey found that​ women's heights are normally distributed with mean 62.3 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in. The survey also found that​ men's heights are normally distributed with a mean 67.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9. a. Most of the live characters at an amusement park have height requirements with a minimum of 4 ft 8 in. and a maximum of 6 ft 3 in. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. The percentage of women who meet the height requirement is . Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. The percentage of men who meet the height requirement is c. If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 5% of men and the shortest 5% of women, what are the new height requirements? The new height requirements are at least nothing in. and at most nothing in.

For this week's discussion, the focus will be on examining Porter's Five Forces as a tool for looking at the pressures on profits. Specifically, you will be looking at defining Porter's Five Forces and applying this tool to the market structures and pressures on profits of a chosen group of firms.

Instructions

Review the two groups of firms below:

• Group 1: the accommodations industry (e.g., Hilton, Marriott Bonvoy, InterContintental Hotel Group).
• Group 2: the wireless telecommunications industry (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile).

In your discussion post, address the following:

• Which of these groups operates in a monopolistic competitive industry? Which operates in an oligopoly?
  • How did you determine the classification of each group? That is, what are the key characteristics of each group that indicate the type of industry it operates in?
• Chose one of the groups and use Porter's Five Forces to analyze the pressures on profits for your chosen group's firms.
  • If you want to dig deeper into how one of the firms views the challenges it faces, you might want to look at the firm's investor page.

Note: In your discussion posts for this course, do not rely on Wikipedia, Investopedia, or any similar website as a reference or supporting source.
