The state workers’ compensation board that governs workers’ compensation for the state that your company resides and performs all of its business in, has decided to reject the four exceptions to the governing classification and single enterprise rule in your state. Understanding this is a very big issue, your company’s legal team has elicited your help to write an argumentative paper that will be presented to the workers’ compensation board during the public hearings scheduled for next week. Compose a paper that defends the following list:

1. the Standard Exception classifications,

2. the Interchange of Labor rules,

3. the General Exclusion classes, and

4. the use of the Multiple Enterprise rule.

The legal department is depending on you to ensure that to help the board understand why the rejection of these exceptions would be so detrimental to your business. Make sure you argue your points based on a company with 8,000-plus employees, within seven different manufacturing sites and two major administrative buildings that are separated geographically from the plants. Your EMR for the trailing 36-month period is 0.94 and the gross revenue for your company is $1.3 billion. Your paper must be a minimum of three pages (not including the title and reference page) and include at least two academic resources. All information from outside resources should be cited in APA format. Please include an abstract that summarizes the key points of your defense and/or argument.

In addition to treating students differently based on social class, schools also convey implicit messages about gender, sexual orientation, religion, language, country of origin, and disability. Like the messages about social class, these implicit messages are also forms of the hidden curriculum. Often these messages reinforce the status quo that is discriminatory towards non-dominant groups (females, sexual minorities, immigrants, non-Christians, low-income people, and people with disabilities). In general, the hidden curriculum helps to reinforce and reproduce the social hierarchy that is already present in the adult world. Remember: The hidden curriculum is not the “regular” academic curriculum. It is “taught” both overtly and covertly through behaviors, words, and the school structure.

The example provided by Johnson and Rhodes focuses on how schools provide differential learning environments that prepare students to remain in the social class into which they were born. Jeff Sapp (article in this module) illustrated the hidden curriculum by describing the ways his school “taught me I was poor.”

Discussion Assignment: Reflect on your K-12 education and identify the hidden curriculum in your school related to one of the following variables: gender, race or ethnicity, language, country of origin, religion, social class, or disability. In your response, be specific about what messages you received about the variable you chose and how those messages were conveyed.

• Make a list of characteristics that describe who you are (your self-concept). After looking at the list, see if you can come up with a few words that summarize the list to narrow in on the key features of your self-concept. Go back over the first list and evaluate each characteristic, for example noting whether it is something you do well/poorly, something that is good/bad, positive/negative, desirable/undesirable. Is the overall list more positive or more negative? After doing these exercises, what have you learned about your self-concept and self-esteem?
• Discuss at least one time in which you had a discrepancy or tension between two of the three selves described by self-discrepancy theory (the actual, ideal, and ought selves). What effect did this discrepancy have on your self-concept and/or self-esteem?
• Take one of the socializing forces discussed (family, culture, or media) and identify at least one positive and one negative influence that it/they have had on your self-concept and/or self-esteem.
• Getting integrated: Discuss some ways that you might strategically engage in self-presentation to influence the impressions of others in an academic, a professional, a personal, and a civic context.

2. Explain the Johari Window
3. What are factors that influence self – disclosure

An investor owns a bond with a modified duration of 0,5. At the moment YTM for that bond is equal to 3,28%. What will be the magnitude of bond price change if YTM for the bond changes to 3,58%. Explain how can you improve accuracy of estimation of a bond price change resulting from the change of market interest rates

A stock has a required return of 16.00%, the risk-free rate is 8.20%, and the market risk premium is 12.20%.
a) What is the stock's beta?
b) If the market risk premium changes to 5.50%, what would happen to the stock's required rate of return? Assume that the risk-free rate and the beta remain unchanged.

Propose a factor that captures the effect of a financial shock (e.g., the subprime crisis) as a leftward
shift of the Aggregate Demand in the P-Y space.
You should clearly state the factor, how the factor changes (increase or decrease) and explain how it
shifts the Aggregate Demand Curve to the left in the P-Y space.

Let L be a linear map between linear spaces U and V, such that L: U -> V and let l_{ij} be the matrix associated with L w.r.t bases {u_i} and {v_i}. Show l_{ij} changes w.r.t a change of bases (i.e u_i -> u'_i and v_j -> v'_j)
