2)What are the main things that shift the consumption schedule?  Note that changes in income don’t shift it because that is built into the slope.  List the things and think about the intuition of how they would affect your own consumption.

3)Consider Investment Demand. What is on the vertical axis? Note: I recommend thinking of the interest rate firms pay to borrow rather than the expected return (the book uses both terms on the vertical axis).  Explain why firms do more investment expenditure when the interest rate drops.

In the reading “A Joint Urban Planning and Public Health Framework: Contributions to a Health Impact Assessment” by Northridge et al., authors ask the question: What are the consequences of inadequate housing? Drawing on the other readings (re: social and built environments) explore this idea and try to answer this question.

Please match the following prevention activities for metabolic syndrome with the level (primary, secondary, tertiary) and focus (individual vs. population). City planning for a built environment that favors walking and biking Answer 1 Nutrition and exercise counseling Answer 2 Screening for diabetes at a doctor's office Answer 3 A physician's referral to cardiac rehabilitation clinics Answer 4 A community exercise group for those diagnosed Answer 5 System-wide Integration of smoking cessation programs with clinics treating diabetic, coronary heart disease and stroke patients.

Write your own routine to solve a system of n linear equations and n unknowns using the LU decomposition. Input should take an augmented matrix and the number of equations n. Output should be the augmented matrix. L and U matrices and the solution. Also compare your results to those of Matlab’s built in LU decomposition. Use your code to solve the systems given as (a) and (b) below: a) 3a − 2b + c = −3, a − 4b + 2c + 2d = 6, a + 3b = 5, −3a + 7b + 9c + d = 5

Your company's stock sells for $50 per share, its last dividend (D0) was $2.00, its growth rate is a constant 5 percent, and the company would incur a flotation cost of 15 percent if it sold new common stock. Net income for the coming year is expected to be $500,000, the firm's payout ratio is 60 percent, and its common equity ratio is 30 percent. If the firm has a capital budget of $1,000,000, what component cost of common equity will be built into the WACC for the last dollar of capital the company raises?

The figure represents an insect caught at the midpoint of a spider-web thread. The thread breaks under a stress of 9.2 × 108 N/m2 and a strain of 2.00. Initially, it was horizontal and had a length of 3.5 cm and a cross-sectional area of 9.5 × 10-12 m2. As the thread was stretched under the weight of the insect, its volume remained constant. If the weight of the insect puts the thread on the verge of breaking, what is the insect's mass? (A spider's web is built to break if a potentially harmful insect, such as a bumble bee, becomes snared in the web.)

A. A disk of radius 0.15 m spins at a rate of 18 rad/s. What is the linear speed of a point on its outer rim? How long does it take that point to make a complete revolution? What would be given as the frequency in hertz of this motion?

B. A mass and spring system is built with a spring constant of 5.0 N/m and a mass of 2 kg. What is its period of oscillation? What length would a simple pendulum have to have to make an identical mass oscillate with that same period?

A contractor builds two types of homes. The Carolina requires one lot, $160,000 capital, and 160 worker-days of labor, whereas the Savannah requires one lot, $240,000 capital, and 160 worker-days of labor. The contractor owns 300 lots and has $48,000,000 available capital and 43,200 worker-days of labor. The profit on the Carolina is $60,000 and the profit on the Savannah is $70,000.
