Yes there is a link between depression and difficulty with memory recall. This area of cognition is interesting in that you literally see changes in someone's thought patterns when they are under new stress patterns. When this happens, as in the case of depression, parts of the brain associated with memory are impacted. What parts are these? How has deep brain stimulation helped in some cases?

End user computing------in some cases an organization’s information system (IS) is planned and centered on specific goals; in other cases, technology is an afterthought to the actual business objectives. Can you think of examples of how technology has altered the way we do business today? Were those changes and implementations accomplished by understanding the goals of the business?

In two paragraph, explain the hierarchical structure of a system that you have worked on and how emergence affects the levels in the systems hierarchy. Provide details and apply what you learned here to discuss what (if any) changes you would have done, if you have to do it all over again.

Select a policy that meets the following criteria (if need be, two out of the three will work as well).

• a policy that could diminish racial or gender inequality on some dimension (wages, housing, etc).
• a policy that could target the wealthy - but NOT an income tax on millionaires
• a policy that could target extreme poverty.

Next, select another policy from a different jurisdiction to analyze the differences and answer the following:

1. Briefly describe the main components of each policy.

2. Why would this policy lead to changes in inequality, that is: What economic changes and results do you expect? By what mechanism would change happen? What measures of inequality, wealth, or poverty do you think would change as a result of the policy? What distributional effects would there be or what overall effects on the economy in the jurisdiction?

4. Design a research experiment plan to survey and test the proposed recommendations. What would be the research design? What are some important research methods concerns people should be aware of? What would be some limitations to an experiment?

1. Suppose you own a local restaurant chain that sells through brick & mortar locations and also offers take-out and characterized by the following demand and supply curves

Qd = 3,0000,000 – 600P + 200M

Qs = 1,000,000 + 400P

1. Assume M=15,000. Find the market price and quantity for your firm.

2. Assume COVID hits and since consumers are reluctant to leave their homes and dine-in but still buy take-out, the demand changes to

Qd = 2,000,000 – 600P + 200M; M=15,000

Find the market price and quantity for your firm.

3. Building on the situation in b, suppose the Governor forces you to close your dine-in facilities and supply changes to

Qs = 400P

Find the market price and quantity for your firm.

4. Building on the situations in band c, suppose a recession develops and reduces income by 1/3, which now cuts into your take-out sales.

Find the market price and quantity for your firm.

Explain what is happening to the prospects for your firm.

Panamint Systems Corporation is estimating activity costs associated with producing disk drives, tapes drives, and wire drives. The indirect labor can be traced to four separate activity pools. The budgeted activity cost and activity base data by product are provided below.

Determine the activity-based cost for each disk drive unit.

a.$642.18

b.$222.01

c.$305.96

d.$17.64

QUESTION: Suppose the government borrows $5 billion more next year than this year (for example, theymove from a balanced budget to a $5 billion deficit or from a $10 billion deficit to a $15 billiondeficit).

a. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to analyse this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall?

b. What happens to investment? To private saving? To public saving? To national saving?Compare the size of the equilibrium changes with the $5 billion of extra borrowing. Is it thesame, less, or more? Carefully explain why and distinguish the various movements in thediagram.

c. How do the elasticities of supply of and demand for loanable funds (i.e. the slopes of thecurves) affect the size of these changes? (Hint: See chapter 5 to review the definition ofelasticity.)

d. Suppose households believe that greater government saving today implies lower future taxessince there will be little government debt. What does this belief do to private saving and thesupply of loanable funds today? Does it increase or decrease the effects you discussed inparts (a) and (b)?
