1. Summarize the four meanings of parrhesia as explained in the first section of the Foucault lecture (p. 1-5). After summarizing the meaning of parrhesia, explain a time when you have had to play the role of a parrhesiastes (aka someone who speaks truth to power) OR if you have seen/heard someone else play this role.

2. Looking at the second section of the Foucault lecture, (p. 6-10) explain the “crisis” of democracy in the face of parrhesia. To answer this, you will need to explain both the positive and negative definitions of parrhesia, by explaining the difference between a “good” and a “bad” orator. Give an example of each kind of parrhesia (one good example one bad example).

1. Jim Harvey, your client, owns a life insurance policy on his own life. He has paid $6,500 in premiums, and the cash surrender value of the policy is $25,000. Jim Harvey borrowed $25,000 from the insurance company, using the cash surrender value as collateral. He is considering canceling the policy in payment of the loan. Jim Harvey would like to know the federal income tax consequences of canceling his insurance policy. Discuss the tax implications.

2. As we know, Congress devised a very broad definition of income and codified this definition in Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code. Explain the Code's definition of income and how it is generally applied to taxpayers. In particular, explain how the Code's definition of income is different than other potential definitions of income, such as the economic concept of income, and use an example to illustrate the difference between the two systems.

3. In terms of revenue neutrality, comment on a tax cut enacted by Congress that also contains revenue offsets, a tax cut enacted by Congress that is phased in over a period of years, a tax cut enacted by Congress that contains a sunset provision & a tax cut enacted by Congress that includes a stealth tax feature

4. Should funds borrowed against your insurance policy be taxable? Why? Why not?

5. What are the tax implications when the taxpayer gets monies from insurance companies? Discuss.

6. Explain the function of Temporary Regulations.Compare a determination letter with a letter ruling.

7. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Small Cases Division of the U.S. Tax Court.

Researchers believe that male and female students at UD differ in the population mean number of hours of sleep that each group gets each night. Test this belief at the 10% level of significance with the following data obtained from the Combined Class Dataset, (and let Males be Group #1).
ASSUME THAT σ12=σ22 This question comes out of section 10.2, specifically from p. 475 in the Note and Comment section. WHY?

Enter your Summary Statistics here (rounded off to the 2^nd decimal place, if necessary):

      Q9: Write out your Null (H₀) and Alternative Hypotheses (H_A).

        H0:

        HA:

    Q10: What kind of a TS will you calculate for this pair of hypotheses?
             Z₀? T₀? F₀? χ02?

    Q11: Calculate the value of the TS you would use to run this hypothesis                 test, complete with degrees of freedom, if necessary.

    Q14: Calculate the PValue for your TS (and if you’re working from one of the          probability tables, you might have a statement like: “0.01< PV <0.05”).

   1. What is your question?
   2. What answer/s to your question did you find?
   3. What sources did you use?

Question 2: Explain why diversification is important when creating a strategic asset allocation but not as important when creating a tactical asset allocation?

Question 3: In question 2 above, you have explain the benefits of diversification, now explain if there is a cost associated with diversifying a portfolio?

Only do Q3, as detail as possible plz.

When high voltage is run through hydrogen, light is emitted that is concentrated in three areas of the visible spectrum: red, cyan, and violet. How did Bohr explain this, and how did de Broglie alter that explanation to extend it to the emission spectrum of other elements?

The Environmental Protection Agency recommends that concentrations of the carcinogenic insecticide mirex found in salmon, be at a level of no more then 0.08 parts per million. Researchers tested 75 randomly chosen farm-raised salmon for 45 different farms and found the mean concentration of mirex to be 0.0853 with a standard deviation of 0.0315. A histogram of the distribution was fairly symmetric and showed no outliers. Are farmed salmon contaminated beyond the level permitted by the EPA? Use a significance level of � = 0.01.

a) State the hypotheses in symbols. (2 points)

b) Use your calculator to perform a 1-Sample t-Test and report the test statistic and p-value. Do not make these calculations by hand. Instead, use the T-Test command in your graphing calculator found under STAT – TESTS. Write out what you entered in your calculator. (3 points)

c) Make a sketch of the test distribution. Be sure to label the test statistic and p-value. Your graphing calculator will make this sketch for you if your choose “Draw” instead of “Calculate” in the test input screen. (2 points)

d) Write a full conclusion for this test in the context of the problem (See previous assignment for format). (4 points)

e) Find a 98% confidence interval for the mean concentration of mirex found in farm-raised salmon. Do not make these calculations by hand. Instead, use the TInterval command in your graphing calculator found under STAT – TESTS. Write out what you entered in your calculator. (3 points)

f)Interpret the confidence interval in the context of this problem. (2 points)

g) Does this confidence interval support your conclusion in part (d)? Explain. (2 points)
