A proverb is a short sentence based on long experience"-- Miguel de Cervantes After reading the "Capability Maturity Model" and "CMMI Maturity Levels: Why Are They So Important" please discuss the following "Process Proverbs" from Paulk: • The "What-Not-How" Principle: The CMM does not mandate how the software process should be implemented; it describes what characteristics the software process should have. • Capability vs. Performance: The CMM focuses on building the process capability of an organization; the process performance of individual projects is correlated but not identical. • Organizational Improvement: The CMM is a model for organizational improvement. It is not tuned to improving individual projects or helping a project that is in trouble. • Comprehensiveness: The CMM does not address all the important factors that impact success. Excluded topics include capable people, systems engineering, and powerful tools. At a minimum please consider: The "truth" that the proverb is meant to illustrate. Whether or not (based on observation, experimentation, or personal opinion) the proverb is "true." In what way the proverb is or is not important to you as a student of programming and to the software development community in general.

1. A perfectly competitive industry faces a demand curve given by Q^D= 2515 – 2P. The long-run total cost curve of each firm is given by LTC = 10q -.2q²+.004q³. Derive the long-run equilibrium values of output per firm, market output, price, and the number of firms.
2. You are told that in long-run perfectly competitive equilibrium each firm produces 25 units and that the marginal cost at that level of output is $10. Solve for the long-run equilibrium values of market output, price, and the number of firms. The market demand is given by Q^D= 4000 – 10P.
3. Assume the world market for calcium is perfectly competitive and that all existing producers and potential entrants are identical. Consider the following information about the price of calcium. Between 1990 and 1995, the market price was stable at $2/pound. In the first three months of 1996, the market price doubled reaching $4/pound, where it stayed for the remainder of 1996. Throughout 1997 and 1998, the price declined, eventually reaching $2/pound by the end of 1998. Between 1998 and 2002, the price remained stable at $2/pound. Assume that technology has not changed and that input prices have remained constant over the period. Using words, explain this pricing pattern over the period.

Common text for questions 3 and 4:

An investor buys three shares of XYZ at the beginning of 2002 for $100 apiece. After one year, the share price has increased to $110 and he receives a dividend per share of $4. Right after receiving the dividend, he buys two additional shares at $110. After another year, the share price has dropped to $90, but the investor still receives a dividend per share of $4. Right after receiving the dividend, he sells one share at $90. After another year, the share price has gone up to $95, the investor receives a dividend per share of $4 and sells all shares at $95 immediately after receiving dividends.

3. What are the arithmetic and geometric average time-weighted rates of return and what is the dollar-weighted rate of return of the investor in the above example (for the dollar-weighted return assume that (i) the cash flows from dividends received at the end of a given year are based on the number of shares held at the beginning of that year, and (ii) cash flows from dividends occur on the same day as the cash flows from buying and selling shares)?

4. Why is the dollar-weighted average rate of return in the above example lower than the geometric average rate of return?
