In the US, a cash market for kidneys is not allowed. That is, one is not allowed to sell one’s kidney (or another’s) for money nor profit. Discuss the problem of allocating kidneys without a cash market and discuss how a cash market might solve the problems of those who might supply or demand a kidney. Following Hazlitt, include as part of your discussion not only the groups directly party to such a cash market transaction, but also at least one party not directly involved that would be impacted by the market’s creation.

Write a program that prompts the user like this: “Currency to
convert to U.S. dollars: e = Euros, c= Chinese Yuan, r = Indian
Rupees, b = Bitcoin: ”. Then depending on which letter the user
enters, the program displays “Amount of Euros/Yuan/Rupees/Bitcoin
to convert: ”. (Note: the second prompt should only name the one
currency the user asked to convert, not all four currencies.) After
the user enters the amount, the program displays “In U.S. dollars,
that is $N”, (N is the amount converted to U.S. dollars).
Conversion rates (from Google, Aug 25, 2019):
• 1 Euro = 1.11 US dollar • 1 Chinese yuan = 0.14 US dollar • 1
Indian rupee = 0.014 US dollar • 1 Bitcoin = 10283.00 US dollar

These annuities receive the same amount of cash during the
5-year period and earn interest at the same nominal rate, yet the
annuity in part b ends up larger than the one in part a. Why does
this occur?
-Select- The nominal deposits into the annuity in part (b) are
greater than the nominal deposits into the annuity in part (a). The
annuity in part (a) is compounded less frequently; therefore, more
interest is earned on previously-earned interest. The annuity in
part (a) is compounded more frequently; therefore, more interest is
earned on previously-earned interest. The annuity in part (b) is
compounded less frequently; therefore, more interest is earned on
previously-earned interest. The annuity in part (b) is compounded
more frequently; therefore, more interest is earned on
previously-earned interest.
