You will select, read and analyze 4 articles from a variety of newspapers or magazines to provide some ‘real value’ to the theoretical contents that we deal with in the course. You may use web sites as sources of articles but attach a hard copy of the articles you are reviewing. Articles should relate to any 4 of the following macroeconomic topics and should not be earlier than October 1' 2020. Articles should be critiqued (as explained below). The critique should be typed, double- spaced, with correct grammar and spelling.

Topics

Current state of the economy

Inflation

Unemployment

Government budget

Exchange rate of the $

Author, source and topic of the articles

Basic Theme& Critical Review

This is the idea or the argument of the article (no more than a few sentences)

Analyze the headline with regards to its relevance.

Carefully analyze the article, using your critical thinking skills.(3-4paragraphs for each article). Relate the article to the macroeconomic concept covered in the course. Your opinion on the issue is important.

Terminology

You should include relevant economic terms used in the article and define them.

Your assignment is worth 10 Marks.Your gradeswill depend onyour correct choice of Macroeconomic articles, and the depth of your opinion.

Consider the right triangular prism below:

Which color will bend the most when the light leaves the prism?

(a) Red

(b) Green

(c) Blue

What Big Idea did you use to find your answer?

(a) Law of Malus

(b) Law of Reflection

(c) Snell's Law

(d) Lenz' Law

(e) Faraday's Law

Which of the following problem-solving steps is not useful for finding the angles at which the different colors will exit the prism.

(a) Find the angle between the normal to the  glass surface and the ray of white light.

(b) Use Snell’s Law: θθ to find the refracted angle of each color after entering the prism.

(c) All of these steps are useful.

(d) Construct a right triangle to find the angle with respect to the normal where each ray strikes the vertical glass surface (θ).

(e) Use Snell’s Law: θθ to find the refracted angle of each color after leaving the prism.

Consider the data.

(a)What is the value of the standard error of the estimate? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(b)Test for a significant relationship by using the t test. Use α = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

(b.1)Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(b.2)Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c)State your conclusion out of the option below.

Do not reject H₀. We cannot conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.

Reject H₀.We cannot conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.   

Do not reject H₀. We conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.

Reject H₀. We conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.

(d)Use the F test to test for a significant relationship. Use α = 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

(d.1)Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

(d.2)Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(e) What is your conclusion out of the options below?

Reject H₀. We conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.

Do not reject H₀. We cannot conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.     

Do not reject H₀. We conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.

Reject H₀. We cannot conclude that the relationship between x and y is significant.

In a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, a random sample of adults 18 years of age or older living in the continental united states was asked their reaction to the word socialism. In addition, the individuals were asked to disclose which political party they most associate with. Results of the survey are given in the table.

a) Explain why this data should be analyzed by the homogeneity of proportions.

b) Does the evidence suggest individuals within each political affiliation react differently to the word socialism? (Use the =0.05 level of significance.)

1. State the null and alternate hypothesis

2. Verify the requirements.

3. Calculate the test statistic.

4. Find the corresponding p-value.

5. State your conclusion.

What types of atomic bonding are present in gas hydrates? Explain your answer. (Hint: Think carefully about all types of bonding that may be present. Not just the most obvious.)

Reflecting on the focus and content of this course (Fraud), what is an important challenge facing the accounting department of organizations today, and how would you go about addressing it? Explain your response.

This week's problems are about another concurrent processing problem: race conditions.

1. Find out what a race condition is, and explain in your own words what goes wrong.

2. Which of the generic architectures considered in lectures is most susceptible to race conditions. Explain your reasoning -- why do you believe that your chosen architecture is most susceptible?

3. Be creative, but realistic: Describe an example (of your own creation) of a system that would be susceptible to a race condition, and what might happen to cause the race condition in your imagined system. Then explain what might be the effect of that race condition in your particular system. The goal in this last part is to imagine a real-world system and to describe it in a way that the marker can understand as well as showing how it could be affected by a race condition.

I want you to think about why different types of costs and their measurement matter. You learned about different cost behaviors, types, and structures - but why is that important? Think about why managers and business owners care about cost behavior. What kind of business problems require detailed knowledge of how costs behave. Use an example from your own (work) experience or think of a real-world business scenario to illustrate your stance.

A-Explain the differences between an enterprise fund and a permanent fund.

B-Give two examples of special assessments. Why are they considered special assessments?

C-Give an example of a state CAFR that reports enterprise funds and internal service funds. What categories do the states report as enterprise funds and as internal service funds?

D-The proprietary fund account statement of cash flows is different than the statement of cash flows required for business organizations. What are the main differences?

E-Explain how real estate held as an investment by a government endowment should be reported (what basis and what items would go into the value).

F-The billings for transportation services provided to other governmental units are recorded by an internal service fund as what types of transactions? Defend your answer – explain and cite your source.
