  1. One investing firm is assessing an opportunity of a real estate investment. The project requires 4.5 million CAD at the beginning of the first year to start up the first complex and 1.6 million CAD at the beginning of the second year to start the second complex. Upon completion in two years, a hotel industry customer would purchase the whole project for 8.7 million CAD. If the average secure interest rate from a bank is 4%, determine the return rate of the investment.
  1. One investor wants to buy an apartment for 370,000 CAD. He then wants to rent his property for 1700 CAD a month for a year and after the year sell it for 475,000 CAD. The bank guaranteed him a return rate of 3% per annum through a mutual fund investment that can be calculated monthly. This means the investor can invest the rent money in the bank. The investor wants to know what the return rate of this investment is.

The GDP is an inaccurate measure of wellbeing because:

It ignores the black-market

"It places no value on activites takes place outside of the marketplace, like giing to the park with the kids"

Envirnmental degradation is not accounted for

All of the above

Which of the following items is counted toward US GDP

Computer software written in Seattle and sold in India

Stock sold in the US stockmarket by a US company to a US buyer.

Taxes collected by the US government.

The sale of a used car by a North Little Rock used car dealer.

A used textbook buyer who has been laid off because students can sell used textbooks online is an example of

Frictional unemployment

Structural unemployment

Cyclical unemployment

None of the above

Full employment means

Everyone who wants a job has one

Everyone has a job regardless of whether they want one

Australian Taxation

Abby runs a printing business and leases a building for which she pays rent of $75,000 per annum. During the year ended 30 June 2020, Abby incurred the following expenses: Painting of the exterior of the building at a cost of $12,000. The original paintwork was peeling and mouldy and did not represent the kind of look Abby wanted for her business. Re-surfacing of the dirt car park with a new non-slip cement to fill in pot-holes and create a safer environment for her customers $8,000 Replace torn awning over the front door for $1,500. The replacement awning was made of the same material as the original awning. Payment of $22,000 for a commercial embroidery machine so that Abby could introduce clothing design and printing into her business. The machine was purchased on 10 February 2020 and installed on 26 February 2020. Advise Abby if the expenses would be deductible with reference to relevant statute or other supporting documents.

Computer Dynamics (p. 175 of your textbook) is a microcomputer software development company that has a 300-computer network. The company is located in three adjacent five-story buildings in an office park, with about 100 computers in each building. The LANs in each building are similar, but one building has the data center on the second floor. There are no other office locations. The current network is poorly designed for its current needs and must be completely replaced.

1. Develop a logical design for this enterprise campus that considers the seven network architecture components. There are no other campuses, so you can omit WAN access.

2. Document the assumptions you made in approaching this design.

3. Explain why you have designed the network in this way. Make sure your answers are numbered based on the question presented. Submit as a Microsoft Word document to the correct dropbox by the due date and time posted on the D2L course calendar.

  1. Why is it that lethal recessive alleles remain in the human gene pool, rather than just disappearing because of their unfavorable phenotype for homozygous recessives?

  1. Scenario: A sudden flood of a large area around the Mississippi River occurs. In some local populations of a species of insects, there is greater buoyancy and survival of some individuals due to having the double recessive genotype of a gene that allowed them to accumulate more lipids to float. A year after the flood, the same and displaced local populations of the insects were reduced in size and all biased in allele frequencies toward greater frequency of the recessive allele compared to the original population’s allelic frequencies. Which of the forces that affect populations seems to have had the strongest effect?

  1. Do you think the National Park Service made the correct decision not to permit a genetic rescue of the Isle Royale wolves in 2015, or should new individuals be introduced? Provide reasoning for your answer (as a biologist).

Coffee is a leading export from several developing countries. When coffee prices are high, farmers often clear forest to plant more coffee trees. Here are data on prices paid to coffee growers in Indonesia and the rate of deforestation in a national park that lies in a coffee-producing region for five years: Price(cents per pound) Deforestation (percent) 29 0.49 40 1.59 54 1.69 55 1.82 72 3.10

(a) Make a scatterplot. What is the explanatory variable? What kind of pattern does your plot show? (b) Find the correlation r step-by-step. That is, find the mean and standard deviation of the two variables. Then find the five standardized values for each variable and use the formula for r. Explain how your value for r matches your graph in (a). (c) Now enter these data into your calculator or Excel and use the correlation function to find r. Check that you get the same result as in (b).

-Pick two of the principles of green chemistry, state which 2 you chose and show how they connect to your life or intended profession. Please be very clear (as in overtly) as to which two you are selecting so that I am sure to recognize the connections you are making.

-How has the Tragedy of the Commons affected you or your family? For example, when one of the creators of this course (Ted Picciotto) was younger, he and his father would see quail frequently in the state park near their home. Since then they have all but disappeared. Only recently has the population begin to rebound very slightly. If you are not old enough to remember a change in the environment, interview a parent or grandparent if possible.
