1. The market for x and y in Waketowne consists of 5000 people. Of this population, 2500 have preferences for the two goods in which the consumers earn utility by U = (xy)^1/2. There are 1500 consumers who get utility from consuming the goods by U = x^3/5y^2/5. Finally, the other 1000 consumers have preferences of U = x^2/5y^3/5.

All have a budget constraint of 25 = 10x + 5y.

What is the market quantity of x demanded in Waketowne? Also, find another point on the market demand curve for this good. (Hint: The last subgroup of consumers will buy 1000 units of x.)

2. Let us say that a person likes x and y and has preferences, resources, and faces prices that lead them to conclude he should consume 4x and 3y each month to maximize utility. However, for some reason, he continually chooses 5x and 2.5y. Explain why this person is acting irrationally.

In a Speech given on 16th March 2014 and titled “Reflections on the Financial Crisis,” former Assistant Governor (Financial System) of the RBA Dr. Edey said: “I am often asked why Australia was able to come through the GFC relatively unscathed. Unlike the US, the UK and the euro area, Australia didn't have a recession and we didn't have any bank failures. My usual response is that it was a mixture of good luck and good management.”
This sentiment is echoed in a Speech titled "Lessons and Questions from the GFC" given on the 6th of December 2018 in Sydney, by the Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Dr. Guy Debelle who stated: “Good luck certainly played a role. But the policy actions made an important contribution too” referring to the experience of Australia during the GFC.


Explain what they means by “a mixture of good luck and good management,” making specific reference to both ad-hoc measures during the GFC and the general approach to financial stability. (max 400 words)

  1. Saving lives in a natural disaster Due to large scale natural disaster in a region, paramedics have identified a set of n injured people, P1, P2,… Pn, distributed across the region who need to be rushed to hospitals. There are k hospitals in the region, H1, H2,… Hk, and each person needs to be taken to a hospital within 30 minutes travel time to the hospital. You know the travel time for each person to each hospital. Some people will have a choice of hospitals to go to. You want to work out whether or not there is a solution where each hospital receives at most én/kù people.
    1. Determine a flow graph that represents this problem. That is specify its vertices and edge

Types of vertices:and with what they represent

Types of edges along with what they represent and their capacity

  1. explain how the max flow algorithm solves this problem. That is how does the result of running the algorithm give us information about whether or not the problem is solved and what we can determine from the flows on the graph.

The labor supply and demand equations in Mexico and the US are Ndmex =140–2Wmex andNsmex =80 NdUS =600–4WUS andNsUS =260 (Notice: To make the exercise simple, we are assuming that the labor supply curves are perfectly vertical at 80 in México and at 260 in the US). where Ndmex and NdUS are the number of workers demanded in Mexico and the US (in millions of workers). Wmex and WUS are the yearly wage rates in Mexico and the US (in of your textbook. thousands of dollars). Nsmex and NsUS are the number of workers supplied in Mexico and the US (in millions of workers).

a. What are the equilibrium wages in Mexico and the US.

b. Due to the higher US wages (see your answer to part a), millions of Mexican workers want to emigrate to the US. However, the US inmigration authorities issue work permits for only 10 million Mexican workers. How will this limited flow of Mexican workers affect wages both in Mexico and the US (hint: if these flows take place, how many workers will there be left in México, how many workers will there be in the US, i.e., how do the labor supply curves shift?).

c. If an unlimited flow of Mexican workers is allowed (free movement of labor across borders), at the end, wages will be equal in both countries (basically, in practice, there will be just one unified labor market). What would be this wage? How many Mexican workers will emigrate to the US? How many Mexican workers will be demanded in the US? At the end, how many workers will there be in México and the US? (Hint: Find the total labor supply and demand equations).

Third Assignment
Please read the following scenario and then refer to the materials of the courseto answer the questions
The scenario:
Dr. Latif is a new nephrologist employee working in the kidney dialysis unit at one of the Palestinian hospitals, and he deals with chronic patients who are visiting the unit "2 or 3" times weekly, so the staff is familiar with the patients and they formulated very close interaction and relationship.
He started to feel overinvolved with one of the patients who has many personal and family conflicts and she used to share it with Dr.Latif as he was very close to her, even they were friends on social media and he consider her to be a close friend, he felt empathetic with her, with time he started to be uncomfortable as the relationship started to cross the professional standers and he became emotional over-involvement.
Answer the following questions
1-Please, differentiate between the levels of patient-"Health care provider" like Doctor, Nurse…etc. involvement?
2-What communication skills should Dr. Latif follow to assure the professional relationship. And why?
3-Why do you think the patient-Doctor/Nurse relationship could become intimate ??reflect from the case
4- Please summarize in two lines how could the nurse be empathic with the patients but keep professional standers?
-You can submit the assignment either group"4-8" or individual work
-Use scientific accurate English language
-Use just Microsoft word document type
-Please do your efforts to express using your own language, don’t just copy and paste from internet sites, if you use reference mention them.

You have been hired to produce a family tree for three generations of a family where a disorder called sneezer syndrome is observed. People who suffer from sneezer syndrome sneeze when they smell peppermint. In order to draw a pedigree chart for this family, you interview Mike and Annie. Neither suffer from sneezer syndrome. Annie’s mother is normal, while Annie’s father sneezed at the smell of peppermint. Annie has one sister and one brother and her sister is a sneezer. While Annie’s sister has yet to have kids, her brother married a sneezer. Mike’s mother is a sneezer while his father is normal. Mike’s brother is just like their mother. In addition, this brother married a sneezer. Mike’s sister is normal - as is her husband and their one boy.

draw a pedigree chart (one point). Use the letters A and a. If more than one genotype is possible for an individual - you may write it as A with a dash - e.g. A-

Use your pedigree chart to answer the following questions (four points):

a. Annie’s brother and his wife have two kids – a sneezing boy and a normal girl. What are their genotypes ?

boy -

girl -

b. What are the genotypes of Mike’s brother-in-law (his sister’s husband) and their boy?

brother-in-law -

his son -

c. Mike and Annie have two girls and a boy. The boy and one girl are normal. What are the genotypes of their three kids?

boy -

girl 1 -

girl 2 -

d. Mike and Annie want a 4th child. What is the chance that this child will be a boy who is a sneezer. Write your answer as a reduced fraction - e.g. 1/8.
