Fill in the blanks to make the following statements correct.
a. In the long run, total output is determined only by ▼ (potential output or actual output). In the long run, aggregate demand determines the ▼ (price level or output level).
b. Permanent increases in real GDP are possible only if ▼ (potential output or actual output) is increasing.
c. Suppose illiteracy in Canada were eliminated, and the school dropout rate was reduced to zero. The effect would be a permanent▼(decrease or increase) in productivity and ▼ (a decrease or an increase) in potential output.
d. A reduction in corporate income tax is likely to make▼ (net exports or investment or consumption) more attractive and thus shift the ▼(aggregate supply or aggregate demand) curve to the right. The result is ▼(an increase or a decrease) in the short-run level of real GDP. In the long run, the greater rate of ▼ (net exports or consumption or investment) by firms will lead to a greater level of ▼(potential GDP or actual GDP).

After reading Chapter 6 on Lean Systems, one obvious take away is that a huge component of successful Lean implementation is teamwork. A case could be made that Lean systems work better in some cultures than in others, depending how that culture values the collective. In essence, it comes down to Teamwork vs. Autonomy. For example, you could make a statement that Toyota is very good at Lean systems because Japanese culture traditionally values the collective over the individual. Think about a culture that you are familiar with and give your opinion on if you think that a Lean System would fair well there and why. A culture could be from a company, school, city, state, country, region, etc. I'm interested in what you think and your opinion here, so have some fun with the topic while being sensitive to all cultures and viewpoints.

Identify a major national economic problem that needs fixing. Consider how you would measure the relative success of any measure(s) to fix the problem you identified (e.g., more people being put to work, higher household income, fewer people under the poverty level, increased GDP, greater economic growth, higher overall math/science achievement among high school students, lower pollution, etc. - MAKE SURE you come up with a few of your own measures!). Now, propose fiscal and/or monetary policies to fix the problem you've identified and explain IN DETAIL how you believe your policy recommendations would remedy the problem you identified AND how you would measure the relative success of YOUR economic policy recommendations.150-200 words

Library Management System allows the user to borrow and return the books. The book is identified by book name, accession number, item category, due date, due time, and status. Before the user proceeds to borrow or return the books, they need to register for an account. Each user can have only one account. The user can be a staff or student.

The user is allowed to reserve the book, in case, if the book is already borrowed by someone. While reserving a book, the user needs to specify the user name, ID number, book name, and accession number.
