Question 3

Suppose Thailand is experiencing a severe drought and economic recession. Explain the possible impacts on the equilibrium price and quantity of pineapples in Thailand with diagrams.

Question 6

Suppose the Hong Kong government is going to impose a binding price floor on video games. Use a diagram to indicate and explain the changes in the selling price and quantity transacted of video games. Will all existing sellers of video games be better off? Explain.

1. Imagine France and the US are exclusive trading partners. French people can only use Euros while Americans can only use dollars. What happens to the exchange rate of either euros or dollars with the following changes? Explain carefully in a paragraph or two:
   1. US exporting industries become more productive.
   2. The French government doubles the money supply.
   3. The US government decides to increase their tariffs on delicious French Cheeses

assume the spot exchange rate for euros is 1.0949 (that is $1.0949 will purchase €1). If the risk free interest rate for US dollars is 1.451%, the risk free interest rate for euro area is -0.250% and the standard deviation of changes in the exchange rate is 0.1126.

6a. What is the price of a 3-month put option on euros with a strike price of 1.1965?

b. What is the price of a 3-month put option on euros with a strike price of 1.0985?

1. Differentiate between (a) the equity method, (b) the initial value method and (c) the partial equity methods with core assumptions and with supported illustrations?
(Make you own assumption to support your illustrations)

2. With reference to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates compare and contrast between the two translation methods (a) temporal method exchange rate and (b) current rate method exchange rate with supported illustrations?

Using a programming language of your choice: 1) generate a range of wavelengths, 2) compute corresponding monochromatic blackbody intensity using a) Planck function, b) Rayleigh-Jeans simplification, and c) Wien simplification, and 3) plot the three resulting spectra (i.e., a diagram that shows how B(λ) changes with λ). Using this figure explain the phenomenon of “ultraviolet catastrophe”. Please include the code (not only figure) in your answer.

what are the differences between dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy, and what type of patient it might affect? What are the differences and how would you as a nurse change your plan of treatment, tests, lab, medication, etc.? What changes might you see in their EKG tracing? What is EF or ejection fraction? How is this affected their disease process? What is BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) what are the significance and the level?

Question 1: Tim Hortons has the following production function, q = K^0.25 L^0.25,

(a) Show formally whether this production function has increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale.

(b) Calculate MPL, MPK, and MRTS_LK.

(c) If input prices are w=1 and r=1, calculate Tim Hortons’ cost function.

(d) Suppose the production function changes to q = 2K^0.25L^0.25. What is this an example of?

- Thank you

Disease transmission is a really important topic in the subfield of disease ecology. How is the parasite transmission term modeled in the differential equations we discussed in lecture (i.e., the equations that describe the changes in the susceptible, infected, and recovered classes of hosts)?
Differentiate between the different types of horizontal transmission. How does the basic reproductive number (R0) differ from the transmission term? I’d like you to explain this with words, not with a mathematical model.]

Know the differences between dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy and what type of patient it might affect. What are the differences and how would you as a nurse change your plan of treatment, tests, lab, medication, etc.? What changes might you see in their EKG tracing? What is EF or ejection fraction? How is this affected with their disease process? What is BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) what is the significance and the level?
