For this assignment, imagine you have been contacted by an agency in your community to provide consultation on how they might improve their services to clients. The agency is concerned that clients with serious counseling issues are "falling between the cracks" when they are referred to others in the community for intensive treatment. Furthermore, the brief aftercare they provide is not accessible enough to sufficiently support clients as they re-integrate into the community.

1) Identify elderly individuals who are socially isolated and depressed.

2) Evaluate how elderly individuals who are socially isolated and depressed have been served in the history of clinical mental health counseling.

Use the following information to complete this exercise: sales, 850 units for $21,600; beginning inventory, 600 units; purchases, 700 units; ending inventory, 450 units; and operating expenses, $7,600. Required: 1. Complete the table for each situation. In Situations A and B (costs rising), assume the following: beginning inventory, 600 units at $10 = $6,000; purchases, 700 units at $12 = $8,400. In Situations C and D (costs falling), assume the opposite; that is, beginning inventory, 600 units at $12 = $7,200; purchases, 700 units at $10 = $7,000. Use periodic inventory procedures.

Answer must be in three full paragraphs with one resource given

The age-old saying for investing is “buy low and sell high,” but this is easier said than done. Investors who are scared of falling prices sell their investments, which in turn lowers the price and then creates a snowball effect. Consider a situation where all of your investments are exposed to the stock market and prices are starting to fall. You do not need the money until retirement, which is in 20 years. How would you react to this situation and why? If you decide to sell, what would you purchase instead

(Analyzing liquidity) (Related to Checkpoint 4.1 on page 87 ) Apex Fabricating, Inc., manufactures fenders and other after-market body panels for older automobiles. At the close of last year, the firm had $10,381,800 in current assets and $4,152,720 in current liabilities. The company’s managers want to increase its inventory, which will be financed using short-term debt. How much can the firm increase its inventory, financing it with short-term borrowing, without its current ratio falling below 2.0 (assuming all other current assets and current liabilities remain constant)?

Discussion: Types of Tax

After considering the "Types of Tax" PPT, please propose a general set of Income, Consumption, Wealth or other taxes at Federal, state or local level with rates for each which you consider would be best for the United States at this time. Please justify your choices by citing evidence from reliable outside sources. It is understood that this is only the revenue side of government (in Intro to Econ courses, taxes is included in Micro and spending in Macro -- go figure), but obviously if taxation changes, this has an impact on the spending side, at least in terms of whether there is a surplus or deficit.

1.    Suppose you’re told that C = 50 + 0.8Y_d, M = .12Y, and T = 0.1Y.

a. What is the numerical value of the open economy multiplier?    (5.5 points)

b. By how much would the equilibrium level of national income increase if government spending increased by $20 billion?   

c. What would be the change in the level of imports if investment spending increased by $20 billion?

d. Suppose X – M = 0 in the initial equilibrium. If autonomous exports, X, increase by $10 billion (while all other exogenous variables are unchanged), what is the new equilibrium value of X – M?
