One Question = Please analyze this case, using International Trade methodology (not a short answer please) The Schwinn Bicycle Company illustrates the notion of globalization and how producers react to foreign competitive pressure. Founded in Chicago in 1895, Schwinn grew to produce bicycles that became the standard of the industry. Although the Great Depression drove most bicycle companies out of business, Schwinn survived by producing durable and stylish bikes sold by dealerships that were run by people who understood bicycles and were anxious to promote the brand. Schwinn emphasized continuous innovation that resulted in features such as built-in kickstands, balloon tires, chrome fenders, head and tail lights, and more. By the 1960s, the Schwinn Sting Ray became the bicycle that virtually every child wanted. Celebrities such as Captain Kangaroo and Ronald Reagan pitched ads claiming that “Schwinn bikes are the best.” Although Schwinn dominated the U.S. bicycle industry; the nature of the bicycle market was changing. Cyclists wanted features other than heavy, durable bicycles that had been the mainstay of Schwinn for decades. Competitors emerged, such as Trek, which built mountain bikes, and Mongoose, which produced bikes for BMX racing. Falling tariffs on imported bicycles encouraged Americans to import from companies in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and eventually China. These companies supplied Americans with everything ranging from parts to entire bicycles under U.S. brand names, or their own brands. Using production techniques initially developed by Schwinn, foreign companies hired low-wage workers to manufacture competitive bicycles at a fraction of Schwinn’s cost. As foreign competition intensified, Schwinn moved production to a plant in Greenville, Mississippi in 1981. The location was strategic. Like other U.S. manufacturers, Schwinn relocated production to the South in order to hire nonunion workers at lower wages. Schwinn also obtained parts produced by low-wage workers in foreign countries. The Greenville plant suffered from uneven quality and low efficiency, and it produced bicycles no better than the ones imported from Asia. As losses mounted for Schwinn, the firm declared bankruptcy in 1993. Eventually Schwinn was purchased by the Pacific Cycle Company that farmed the production of Schwinn bicycles out to low-wage workers in China. Most Schwinn bicycles today are built in Chinese factories and are sold by Walmart and other discount merchants. Cyclists do pay less for a new Schwinn under Pacific’s ownership. It may not be the industry standard that was the old Schwinn, but it sells at Walmart for approximately $180, about a third of the original price in today’s dollars. Although cyclists may lament that a Schwinn is no longer the bike it used to be, Pacific Cycle officials note that it is not as expensive as in the past either.

Please answer the following case study questions:

Time Theft

Case:

You are the supervisor of several employees. Each employee has their own individual way of “slacking” at work. If you have an employee, who you pay, who is doing something other than working, technically they are being paid to do something that they are not doing. This is typically called, time theft. Examples include taking long breaks, talking to peers, taking too long of a lunch, looking at social media (facebook, twitter, etc...) during work time, and many other ways to avoid work. You now have employees who you know are not working their full 8 hours, they are doing other things (non-productive) during work hour.

Question:

1) Why is time theft a problem?

2) How much time theft is allowable (if any)?

3) What are some reasons time theft would be allowable?

4) How would you handle this situation?

Congress is currently debating another round of COVID19, or "Cares Act" Funding. At this point it is uncertain what will be in the funding package. What should AND should NOT be included in the next COVID-19 Funding Package? Respond to the below statements

1 Congress should include to all immigrants who have an ITIN and those who are undocumented workers. Congress should also provide them with cash assistance, unemployment and health insurance, since many immigrants with the ITIN also pay state and federal taxes.

2 What should be included in the Covid-19 Funding package is unemployment benefits, and a stimulus check, so it could provide us help through these tough times. What should not be included in the next Funding package infrastructure spending’s

The average annual tuition for a public university in 1998 was $20,598. In 2018, the average annual tuition for a public university is $25,659. How much (as a percentage) has the tuition cost increased over the entire period? State your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 3.86)

How much would you need to gift to the university today to establish a scholarship fund that pays out $10000 in scholarships in one year and grows the scholarship payout by 1% per year? Assume that the university endowment earns 8% per year on its investments.

Assess and investigate the potential impact of the risk factors you’re your organisation faces
The coronavirus epidemic has changed the way organisations are working.   

Your task is to assess the impact of the epidemic on your university.

a)   Explain how the analysis helps to identify risk for your university??

A random sample of 64 students at a university showed an average age of 20 years and a sample standard deviation of 4 years. The 90% confidence interval for the true average age of all students in the university is

Suppose that Jeff has a US quarter and a US nickel. Jeff believes that his US quarter is more likely to land heads than his US nickel. Suppose Jeff flips his quarter 100 times and gets 51 heads, and Jeff independently flips the nickel 100 times and gets 49 heads.

(a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of times Jeff’s quarter lands heads and the proportion of times Jeff’s nickel lands heads.

(b) If Jeff’s quarter were to truly land heads more often than his nickel, would Jeff hope that the confidence interval in (a) consists of only negative or only positive real numbers? Briefly explain your answer.

(c) What could Jeff do to get a narrower confidence interval than the confidence interval in (a)?

Assume Manchester University wants to make sure, its graduates would find jobs with the highest possible wage during the job search process, because this will help the university to increase its reputation, and as a result, it will be able to increase the tuition rates. How can the university increase the average wage level of their students get after they graduate, assuming it can no longer increase their skill level? I think question is clear there is no neeed extra explanation please feel free to answer question and you can mention about both productivity and equilibrium.
