You deposit $500 in an account earning 8% compound interest for 3 years. Find the future value and the interest earned for each of the following compounding frequencies.

1) How can convalescent serum from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 be used to treat sick patients? What part of the serum might be beneficial to these patients?

2) I saw a report this week that the mutation rate for SARS-CoV-2 is much less than that of the influenza virus. How does this information impact the efficacy of any new vaccine?

3) Besides vaccination, what other therapies are being developed/tested? What do these therapies target in the virus?

1. More students prefer to take 10 a..m. classes than 8 a.m. classes, meaning that the demand for seats in 10 a.m. classes at the university is higher than the demand for seats in 8 a.m. classes. The supply of seats is fixed. If the university can only charge one price, regardless the time, but wishes to maximize the total number of seats purchased during the day, it should set the price

   	a.	at equilibrium for 8 a.m. classes.
   	b.	at equilibrium for 10 a.m. classes
   	c.	midway between the two equilibria
   	d.	below either 8 a.m. or 10 a.m. equilibrium price.

Network Design proposal for a University
Problem:
Suppose you are asked to design of a network infrastructure for a university.
The university has 7 departments namely, IT, Finance, HR, Management, Faculty, students and R&D.
The university also has an ADSL internet connection which is shared for the different departments.
It is required that all the departments should have intercommunication.
The R&D department should not have access to the internet. Each of the department contain 50-100
users.
Explain your design giving importance to the following contents:
1. The network architecture model you will be choosing.
2. The active network components which are required ( Routers , Switches ).
3. The number of switches , routers which are required for the design.
4. The IP Design schema for the department.
5. Explanation of the details required to be configured on the Switch and how to create different
departments with VLAN.
6. Explanation of how to restrict internet connection for R&D Department and allow access for
the other departments with Access control lists on the Router.
7. Identify the feature on the router which is required for sharing the Internet for the users.
8. Identify the TCP/IP adapter parameters ( IP address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, DNS
Server IP address) for the users.
9. Network Design Diagram.

Statutory employee versus independent contractor versus employee

A University considers its adjunct professors to be employees, and as employees the University withholds employee taxes on earnings. Full-time professors, unlike the adjunct professors, pay into their own retirement system and not social security.

There is a private letter ruling which states online instructors should or could be considered statuary employees. A statuary employee is one that gets no taxes withheld other than social security and still receives a W-2. A statutory employee can then use Schedule C to deduct any expenses. The advantage of being a statutory employee is that the employee can then write off any expenses directly associated with teaching, including the cost of laptops, internet service, software and other expenses. In other words, a statutory employee would not be limited to the Schedule A limitation of deducting expenses that only exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income.

The University does not make this distinction between statutory employee versus employee.

Share your thoughts on whether the University is treating its adjunct professors correctly. Share your thoughts on whether its adjunct professors (or anyone else that is doing work for the benefit of an organization on a part time basis) would be better off being treated as a statutory employee, employee or independent contractor.

Please write a java program (using dialog box statements for user input) that has the following methods in it: (preferably in order)  

1. a method to read in the name of a University and pass it back
2. a method to read in the number of students enrolled and pass it back
3. a method to calculate the tuition as 20000 times the number of students and pass it back
4. a method print the name of the University, the number of students enrolled, and the total tuition

Design Notes:

• The method described in Item #1 above will read in a string and pass it back to the main program. Nothing is passed to the method, but the University name is passed back
• The method described in Item #2 above will read in an integer for the number of students enrolled and pass it back to the main program. Nothing is passed to the method, but the University name is passed back to the main program
• The method described in Item #3 above will receive the number of students. It will then do the calculation for the tuition and pass back that value, which is a double value to the main program
• The method described in Item #4 above will receive all data for printing and pass nothing back to the main program

Please copy the java code along with a screen print (snippet) of the final output. I would like both to review the work that I already have done. Thanks in advance!

You are a purchasing manager for General Electric and need to decide whether you should buy stainless steel from a supplier in China or source it from a foundry in Pittsburgh. If you buy it from the Pittsburgh foundry, you’ll pay $3,000 per metric ton. If you buy from China, you’ll pay 14,000 yuan per metric ton. Both prices include transportation costs. The nominal exchange rate is US$1 for 7 yuan.

A.Calculate the real exchange rate—the price of domestic steel in dollars, relative to the price of imported steel converted into dollars—and use this to decide whether you should buy the domestic or imported steel.

B. A rise in the cost of Chinese labor leads to a rise in the price of Chinese steel to 28,000 yuan per metric ton. The nominal exchange rate is still US$1 for 7 yuan. What has happened to the real exchange rate? Does this make it more or less likely that General Electric purchases steel from the foundry in Pittsburgh?

1. The probability of committing a Type II error changes for each alternative value of the parameter.

True

False

2. When conducting a hypothesis test on a population proportion, the value of q is defined as p + 1.

True

False

4. The customer help center in your company receives calls from customers who need help with some of the customized software solutions your company provides. Previous studies had indicated that 20% of customers who call the help center are Hispanics whose native language is Spanish and therefore would prefer to talk to a Spanish-speaking representative. This figure coincides with the national proportion, as shown by multiple larger polls. You want to test the hypothesis that 20% of the callers would prefer to talk to a Spanish-speaking representative. You conduct a statistical study with a sample of 35 calls and find out that 11 of the callers would prefer a Spanish-speaking representative. The significance level for this test is 0.01. The value of the test statistic obtained is _____.
