Suppose the Payroll tax reduction for middle-income households has been extended in the amount of $500 billion for the remainder of 2020 to recover from COVID-19 crisis. Assuming the MPC for that income group of households is 0.8 and also assuming that other things stay the same, the increase in GDP under this proposed extension of tax break is expected to increase by (ΔY) _______

1) The Economy cannot be considered fully employed unless the measured unemployment rate is below 1%. Agree or disagree and explain your answer in a paragraph. What is the current actual u-rate for the US economy as of September Data for 2020? Is this unemployment rate below or above or equal to u-rate at full employment (usually called natural rate of unemployment or NAIRU)? What state of the economy do you consider from this u-rate for Sep 2020 (recession, depression or inflation?) and its sources?

2) A) Why would you expect the inflation rate to accelerate if the actual unemployment rate declined to a level lower than the "full employment" unemployment rate (NAIRU) and remained at that low level for a year or longer? Explain your answer in a few sentences.

B) Draw an AS/AD diagram illustrating your answer to part (A) and refer to the current state of the economy of the US to compare in this context. Be sure to label all lines and axes in your diagram clearly. 2pts 3) Suppose between Q1, 2018 and Q4, 2019 measured Output in the non- farm business sector increased by 3.6%. During this time period the unemployment rate fell from 4.6% to 3.7% and total hours worked in the nonfarm business sector increased by 3.8%. What was the % rate of change in labor productivity over this period (Q1 2018 and Q2 2020)? Explain your answer briefly. (Hint: Labor productivity = Y/Labor hours; RGDP growth rate = Labor productivity growth plus and Labor Force Growth rate. No need to use u-rate changes for this question)

4) a. The Federal Government distributed a recovery relief fund to all households with $600 for all individuals filing and $1,200 for all households filing jointly and $500 for each children in each household. This was part of the $2.2 Trillion stimulus package under CARES Act of March 2020 that also included employee job protection plan for small business owners and restaurants, travel related businesses, unemployment insurances and households with no taxes filed. What would be the overall impact on AD of this recovery relief fund caused by COVID19 public health crisis and its effect on change in real GDP? Assume that the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) for all American consumers is 0.8 in March 2020. Explain your answer briefly as well in your own words. Make sure you use your understanding of the concept of expenditure multiplier in estimating this problem.

4) b. Trump’s imposition of $260 billion tariff in the Month of May 2019 (taxes on imports to the US Market) on Chinese exports to the US has caused a global tension in financial markets and related business activities. In retaliation of Trump’s tariff, China also imposed almost similar amount of tariff on US exports to China about $200 billon. In response to this trade war between the US and China, the US stock price indices of the Wall Street plummeted in May and June 2019. Th stock market in Shanghai in China also crashed at the same time. The data on new job for the US economy in May showed a very slow rate of job creation at the same time. Given this scenario from the US-China trade war and given your knowledge on macro model of AD an AS, do you think the the retaliation of China in response to Trump’s Tariff would have a negative impact on the US economy in near future? Give your reason in your opinion as to why or why not the case.

Excel was introduced in 1985. Since then, it has become a standard business tool.

Discuss and explain at least six different (unique) features of Excel that make it a valuable business tool.

Discuss what type of Excel skills would be important in today’s job market and why. Be specific.

Note: In addition to the Microsoft Excel 2016 overview in the Course Home section, there are many Excel resources in addition to your text on the Web. For example, try an Internet search on "top ten Excel 2016 features" and sift through some of the resources. Be sure to read your classmates' posts, and see how many features you can find that haven't been listed yet.

We have potential of

V (x) = ( 0, 0 ≤ x ≤ a.
  ∞, elsewhere.

a) Find the ground state energy and the first and second excited states, if an electron is enclosed in this potential of size a = 0.100 nm.

b) Find the ground state energy and the first and second excited states, if a 1 g metal sphere is enclosed in this potential of size a = 10.0 cm.

c) Are the quantum effects important for both systems? Explain why or why not.

d) Use the uncertainty principle to estimate the velocities of the electron and the metal sphere.

Use the IS-LM-PC model to explain how the economy adjusts to an increase in taxes in the medium run. Assume that the economy starts at a medium run equilibrium No graph necessary. Be sure to specify which curve shifts in the medium run. State how output, inflation, and the real interest rate change relative to the initial point where the economy started. Make sure that you state how inflation evolves differently under anchored expectations and under backward-looking expectations.

d. In the science field, chemists often use NMR for confirmation of the structure of newly synthesized drugs. This is what MRIs do to humans at hospitals. Please explain what these machines are doing at an atomic level. Use your own words, and try your best to relate it to the material covered in this chapter

An HR manager works at a company in a state that recently legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes. The company restricts the use of drug testing to employees on a probable-cause basis, and tests are given to employees only when they have accidents, engage in unsafe job behavior, or show signs of impaired judgment. Assuming the HR manager wants to avoid discriminating against employees with medical conditions who are legitimate cardholders for the use of medical marijuana, what type of accommodations can be made for this group of employees?

Consider the following quote in Economics: “Businesses should exist for reasons beyond just making a profit. We need red blood cells to live (the same way a business needs profits to live), but the purpose of life is more than to make red blood cells (the same way the purpose of business is more than simply to generate profits).” Surely, this quote is well intended, but this quote also surely misses a key part of the invisible hand idea. In particular, explain why a business must exist for reasons beyond just making a profit, as though it is guided by an invisible hand to have a conscience (and do good for society) that is perhaps not intended.
