In an interview in Spiegel Online, economist Jeffrey Miron says, “If it legalized drugs, the United States could save $85 billion to $90 billion per year. Roughly half that is spent on the current drugs policy and half that is lost in taxes that the state could have levied on legal drugs.” Exact dollar figures aside, comment critically on this statement from the point of view of the principles of benefit cost analysis that we have discussed.

A. Explain why or why not.

B. Would the earned tax revenue be a benefit of decriminalization and legalization? Explain why or why not.

C. Oh, and should we count the profits of legitimate marijuana sellers as a benefit, or would they just be displacing the profits of illegal marijuana sellers?

Interview a certified special education teacher at the educational level (PK- 12) of your program, about the following:

What are some similarities and differences among students with and without exceptionalities?
What are some characteristics of various exceptionalities and the educational implications for students with exceptionalities?
What is the effect an exceptionality can have on a student's academic and social development, attitudes, interests, and values?
How do you collaborate with general education teachers?
In what ways do you address the unique learning needs of the individuals with exceptionalities in the classroom, including for those students with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds?
How do you protect the privacy of students with exceptionalities? What are some dilemmas you have experienced with this?

In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your interview and on the professionalism and integrity of protecting student privacy. In addition, be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice, citing two recommended strategies for differentiating instruction based on learning differences.

Locate an elderly person—perhaps contact a retirement home for someone you may visit or interview a neighbor or grandparent. Ask them to share with you their life story and what they can of their personality. Begin the paper by describing who you interviewed, how you met them or know them (This should be no more than ½ a page and give the basic demographic information. For example: Mrs. Smith is a 50 year old Caucasian woman who grew up in South Boston. She was a housewife and raised three children. She also worked in a factory…..etc). • Based on your interview, assess their personality in terms of Erikson’s developmental theory. You must include THREE of Erikson’s stages. Be sure to explain Erikson’s theory as you describe it. How did they resolve the various stages? Where do you believe they fit now? You should also comment on other aspects of their personality, but be sure to spend at least half the paper on Erikson’s theory.

You are watching TV with a friend of yours, who was not lucky enough to go to business school and take a course on marketing research. On TV, a journalist explains that, according to the latest poll, “pollsters are confident at 95% that 64% (+ or – 3%) of the French voters would vote for Mr. Biden and 36% (+ or – 3%) for Mr. Trump, if the presidential elections were held today”. The journalist adds that those results are based on a poll conducted among 1,054 registered voters.

Your friend tells you that “It’s ridiculous to interview only 1,054 people and believe you can generalize your findings to a population of millions of people… You have to interview ALL the U.S. registered voters if you want your findings to be accurate! A census is always better that a poll based on a sample!” Based on what you have learned in this course,

(1) explain to your poor friend why she is not right.

Also, (2) tell her what pollsters mean by “margin of error” and “confidence interval”.

Question: Evaluation of an auditor’s report.
Mrs Meyer is a director of an international firm of external auditors and works in the Auckland office. Mrs Meyer is the engagement partner on the audit of CountSave Foods Ltd, a company listed on the NZX. The audit team completed the audit for the year ended 31 March 2020 and the audit senior prepared the following draft audit report.
Auditor’s report
CountSave Foods Ltd
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 12 – 40, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2020, and the statement of profit or loss for the year and glanced through the cash flow statement then ended and the notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, except for the possible effect of the matter described in our report, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of CountSave Foods Ltd as at 31 March 2020, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards
Other information
The other information comprises the Director’s report as required under the NZ Companies Act In connection with our audit of the financial statements, if based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.
Basis for opinion
Included in accounts payable is an amount of $15 million. The company did not have adequate controls to maintain records of accounts payable for goods and services received but not paid. We are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to substantiate the accruals disclosed in note 28 to the financial statements. As a result, we are unable to determine whether any adjustments were required to the financial statements arising from the accounts payable and accruals not brought to account or incorrectly stated
We conducted our audit in accordance with the international Standards of Auditing

The management of Nash Instrument Company had concluded, with the concurrence of its independent auditors, that results of operations would be more fairly presented if Nash changed its method of pricing inventory from last-in, first-out (LIFO) to average-cost in 2020. Given below is the 5-year summary of income under LIFO and a schedule of what the inventories would be if stated on the average-cost method.

Prepare comparative statements for the 5 years, assuming that Nash changed its method of inventory pricing to average-cost. Indicate the effects on net income and earnings per share for the years involved. Nash Instruments started business in 2015. Assume that the number of shares outsanding is 100.
