A “subliminal” message is below our threshold of awareness but may nonetheless influence us. A study looked at the effect of subliminal messages on math skills. Messages were flashed on a screen too rapidly to be consciously read. Twenty-eight students who had failed the mathematics part of the City University of New York Skills Assessment Test were randomly assigned to receive daily either a positive subliminal message (“Each day I am getting better in math”) or a neutral subliminal message (“People are walking on the street”). All students took the assessment test again at the end of the program, and the table below gives the data on each of the subjects’ scores before and after the program. Is there statistical evidence that the positive message brought about a greater improvement in math scores than the neutral message? Make no assumptions and show all work.

Chris’s Florist Shop records all prepaid costs as assets and all revenue collected in advance as liabilities, and makes adjustments only at its fiscal year end, which is June 30^th. All of Chris’s purchases are for cash unless stated otherwise. The following information relates to Chris’s June 30, 2011 year end, its first year of operations.

1.         On July 2^nd, 2010, Chris purchased equipment for $12,000. The equipment is expected to have a useful life of 8 years.

2.         On August 1, 2010 a one-year insurance policy was purchased for $1,740.

3.         On February 1, 2011 a corporate customer paid $2,080 as full payment for a one year contract for fresh flowers to be delivered to its offices every Monday morning. At June 30, 21 of the required 52 deliveries had been completed.

4.         On July 2, 2010 Chris purchased enough supplies to last the entire first year of operations for $4,400. At June 30, 2011, Chris counted the supplies on hand and calculated the cost, which amounted to $1,035.

5.         On May 31, Chris borrows $20,000 from the bank to increase the amount of inventory and expand the business. The interest rate on the loan is 6% and requires monthly payments of interest on the first of each month. The principal is due in one year’s time. The first interest payment is due July 1.

6          Chris pays her store assistant on alternate Fridays. The last pay day in June was June 20^th and the first pay day after year end July is July 4^th. The assistant worked 30 hours during this period, of which 20 were in July, and the rest in June. The assistant earns $9.50 an hour.

7.         June 28^th is a busy day and Chris has to make deliveries to numerous customers. On July 5^th she reviews her June billings, and realizes that she made one large sale for $325 on June 30^th for flowers that were delivered, but for which no invoice was issued. The sale was to a regular customer who will pay promptly when the invoice is sent.

8.         Chris offers customers a coupon valued at $20 every ten floral arrangements that a customer buys. At June 30^th, she reviews her records and finds that 18 customers have purchased enough flowers to claim coupons. Chris records the cost of these coupons as “Coupon Expense” when the customer becomes entitled to them.

Instructions:

(a)        For each transaction, prepare any adjusting entries required at June 30, 2011.

2. Assume Thailand and India are potential trading partners of China. Thailand is a member of ASEAN but India is not. Suppose the import price of textiles from India (pIndia) is 50 per unit under free trade and is subject to a 20% tariff by China. As of January 1, 2010, China and Thailand entered into the China–ASEAN free-trade area, eliminating tariffs on imports from Thailand. The following figure shows China’s import demand curve and the export supply curves of its two trading partners. Note that Thailand cannot fulfill all of China’s import demand at the indicated world prices.

1. What do the export supply curves for Thailand and India imply about their relative size compared to China in the world textile market?

2. Before the China–ASEAN free-trade area, how much does China import from each trading partner (assuming China buys from both)? What is the import price? Calculate the tariff revenue earned by China’s government.

3. After the China–ASEAN free-trade area, how much does China import from each trade partner? What is the import price? What is total tariff revenue for China?

4. Based on your answers above, what is the net welfare impact of the China–ASEAN free-trade area on China’s welfare? Does the trade pact generate trade creation or trade diversion overall?

5. What is the impact of the China–ASEAN free-trade area on the welfare of Thailand and of India?

6. The China-ASEAN agreement may lead to a similar one between China and India. How would this affect China’s imports from each country? What would be the effect on welfare in China, Thailand, and India if such an agreement were signed?

C# (Thank you in advance)

Create an Employee class with five fields: first name, last name, workID, yearStartedWked, and initSalary. It includes constructor(s) and properties to initialize values for all fields.

Create an interface, SalaryCalculate, class that includes two functions: first,CalcYearWorked() function, it takes one parameter (currentyear) and calculates the number of year the worker has been working. The second function, CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary.

Create a Worker classes that is derived from Employee and SalaryCalculate class.

• In Worker class, it includes two field, nYearWked and curSalary, and constructor(s). It defines the CalcYearWorked() function using (current year – yearStartedWked) and save it in the nYearWked variable. It also defines the CalcCurSalary() function that calculates the current year salary by using initial salary with 3% yearly increment.

Create a Manager class that is derived from Worker class.

• In Manager class, it includes one field: yearPromo and constructor(s). Itincludes a CalcCurSalary function that calculate the current year salary by overriding the base class function using initial salary with 5% yearly increment plus 10% bonus. The manager’s salary calculates in two parts. It calculates as a worker before the year promoted and as a manager after the promotion.

Write an application that reads the workers and managers information from files (“worker.txt” and “manager.txt”) and then creates the dynamic arrays of objects. Prompt the user for current year and display the workers’ and managers’ current information in separate groups: first and last name, ID, the year he/she has been working, and current salary.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Vinnie is a professional road cyclist participating in the 2020 Giro d’Italia, a three-week race nearly 3,600 km in distance with some stages exceeding altitudes of 2,700 m above sea level (i.e., Stelvio Pass, Italy). As the newly hired head of the high-performance team, it is your responsibility to manage his preparation for the event. You must demonstrate to your team a fundamental understanding of physiology, the chronic adaptations expected from his training, and methods that could be implemented to improve the likelihood of success.

QUESTION:

Your first job was to schedule a VO₂max test for Vinnie to examine his aerobic fitness. After repeating the assessment several weeks later after an intensive training block, you notice that VO₂max has dropped, but there has been an increase in VT₂. Please discuss why VO₂max decreased and what impact both changes will have on performance?

(Subject - EXERCISE physiology)

Bob has been active all of his life. He played soccer from elementary school all the way through college. He even played on a community team but now at age 45, he’s been diagnosed with high blood pressure (hypertension). At times he ate too much junk food and occasionally drank too much alcohol but he couldn’t get around the fact that the men in his family all had high blood pressure. Dr. Miller, Bob’s primary care physician, had to prescribe two different antihypertensive medications in order to get his blood pressure under control. She also recommended Bob continue his regular soccer workouts but suggested a low-salt diet and more modest alcohol intake. Bob heeded Dr. Miller’s recommendations. His father and his 2 uncles had hypertension at a young ages, and all 3 men ended up on dialysis before dying from complications of kidney failure.Bob began the recommended lifestyle changes at age 45 and even started running regularly to keep his blood pressure under control. Now, 10 years later, he was a marathoner and participated in local marathons, competing with, and outrunning many his own age. However, Bob noticed that during the past several months, he’d experienced more fatigue than normal and some dehydration symptoms after his long runs. After consulting with Dr. Miller, Bob sought the help of Ty, an exercise physiologist, to help him maintain his exercise regime and his health without feeling “old”.Ty worked with Dr. Miller to make sure that Bob was monitored closely since he was still taking his anti-hypertensive medications. Ty suggested a urinalysis to assess Bob’s physical condition before, during and after his workouts. Bob dutifully supplied urine samples to Dr. Miller for evaluation as Ty recommended. Ty explained that Bob’s dehydration symptoms were more difficulty to evaluate since the medication Bob took to control his high blood pressure could affect his renal status or physiologic functioning.Dr. Miller logged the following results of Bob’s urinalysis immediately after, and six hours after, a rigorous 2-hour run.

Based on the urine color and specific gravity, Ty assessed Bob’s hydration status at the three different urine collection times. Explain what you believe to be Bob’s hydration status before Bob began his workout, immediately after his work and 6-hours after his workout.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays a large part in regulating the formation of concentrated or dilute urine. During Bob’s long runs, his ADH secretion would change based on how much he perspired. Explain why ADH secretions would fluctuate during Bob’s long runs.

1. Age-earnings profiles, especially those for men, tend to be very steep early on and then flatten out. According to the human-capital investment framework, this occurs because

   		on-the-job training investments have a higher payoff for younger workers.
   		on-the-job training investments that lead to the acquisition of general skill will be paid for by workers in the form of lower wages.
   		on-the-job training investments lead to new skills and subsequently higher wages
   		All of these.

1. A government policy likely to be helpful in dealing with structural unemployment is

   		a requirement that firms give employees advance notice of plant closings.
   		a minimum wage law.
   		an increase in unemployment insurance.
   		the creation of public sector jobs.

1. Employment contracts for the majority of American workers take the form of

   		formal documents precisely specifying in advance the obligations of each party
   		oral agreements that can be legally enforced when necessary.
   		a broad set of informal understandings between each party.
   		collective bargaining agreements made between an employer and a union.

Suppose that caviar is a leading export from Sweden - Swedish firms sell it all over the world. The country finds that caviar has decreased in price on the world market due to an increase in production from Russia. Firms in Sweden find that they cannot sell as much caviar as usual. The Swedish also produce something called cloudberries that are only eaten in Sweden - no one else in world eats them. Due to news reports linking eating cloudberries to decreased heart disease, the demand for cloudberries is increasing in Sweden.

In situations like this, a market system would increase the pay to cloudberry pickers due to the higher demand. It would decrease the pay to fishermen since caviar is less valuable. Explain what happens if collective agreements using the EFO model are used in Sweden to determine wages. Where will we see shortages and surpluses of labor? Explain why using these terms in your reply: exposed sector, protected sector, wage solidarity, inflexibility.

Researchers from the University of Kent, UK, were interested in whether collectivist or individualist attitudes are related to one’s intent to comply with social distancing and safety guidelines during COVID-19. Participants were classified as either collectivist or individualist and rated their intent to comply with guidelines on a scale from 1-5, where 1 is definitely not and 5 is definitely yes. Please conduct an independent-groups t-test to determine if there is a significant difference in intention to comply between individualists and collectivists.

In addition, please:
- report cohen’s d
- report r^2
- conduct and interpret an F-MAX test
- include 95% confidence intervals
- report your answer in words that directly address the research question
- and show all work in step by step detail.
