The U.S. Department of Labor provides a comparison of the federal minimum wage and different state minimum wages at Minimum Wage Laws in the States. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics provides updated information on average wages, by state, at State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates. (Links to an external site.) Compare the average wages of waiters in Texas, New York, and one state with a minimum wage below the federal level (this will be found in the category "Food Preparation and Serving Related Occupations").

If the minimum wage were to go up by $0.50, where do you think it would have the greatest effect on restaurant costs? On unemployment? What does this tell you about what stage in the business cycle (for example, during a recession or during a boom) an increase in the minimum wage is more likely to be approved?

State: Texas
Federal Minimum Hourly Wage: $7.25
State Minimum Hourly Wage: $7.25
Waiter Average Hourly Wage: $11.31

State: New York
Federal Minimum Hourly Wage: $7.25
State Minimum Hourly Wage: $11.80
Waiter Average Hourly Wage: $16.57

State: Wyoming
Federal Minimum Hourly Wage: $7.25
State Minimum Hourly Wage: $5.15
Waiter Average Hourly Wage: $11.38

Review the section on the definitions of maturity stages and dimension variables in the CEO Technology Best Practices Arc. Define each of the maturity stages and performance dimensions. What are the key concepts from each section?

Now that the position, Administrative Assistant, has been created, you’ve taken the opportunity to create a PowerPoint presentation to train new supervisors on how to conduct performance evaluations.

Whether you use an annual evaluation, real-time feedback, or quarterly evaluations, it is important that new supervisors understand:

• the rationale for a performance evaluation in general,
• the rationale for the specific one in use,
• the instrument used, and
• the process for the evaluation.

The PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides with graphics and Notes Pages.

One of the positions the new supervisors will be conducting performance evaluations on is the job.

• You must include the Notes Pages. This is where you explain in detail the thoughts you want to convey in each slide, only in more depth.
• Visually appealing: graphics (required) should be appropriate for the environment and audience. Text should be visible from 18 feet away (generally considered 18 pt. font or larger).

The team management of a jewlery store plans to buy gold in the future and seeks protection against an increase in the price of gold. The current price of gold is $352.40 per ounce. The futures price of gold is $397.80 per ounce. The number of ounces to be hedged is 1,000, and the number of ounces per futures contract is 100. Therefore, 10 contracts will be hedged.

1) Describe in detail the hedge created by the jewelry store. That is what actions would be taken and why?

2) Based on the information given in the question, describe the outcome in detail of this hedge if the price of gold is $304.20 per ounce and the price of the futures contract is $349.60 per ounce when the hedge is lifted.

3) Based on the information given in the question (not your answer above, but the original information), describe the outcome in detail of this hedge if the price of gold is $392.50 per ounce and the price of the futures contract is $437.90 per ounce when the hedge is lifted.

Any information as to how you came to the answer will be helpful as i am trying to understand the information. Thank you!

The computer center at Rockbottom University has been experiencing computer downtime. Let us assume that the trials of an associated Markov process are defined as one-hour periods and that the probability of the system being in a running state or a down state is based on the state of the system in the previous period. Historical data show the following transition probabilities: To From Running Down Running 0.70 0.30 Down 0.20 0.80 If the system is initially running, what is the probability of the system being down in the next hour of operation? If required, round your answers to two decimal places. The probability of the system is What are the steady-state probabilities of the system being in the running state and in the down state? If required, round your answers to two decimal places. = =

Objective: Make proper decisions based on short and long-term decision analysis

Introduction: When designing your business plan, you may consider different sources of funding – debt or equity, short-term or long-term. There are pros, cons, and risks of each source of funding to consider. A key component of business planning requires identification for possible sources of funding for your business plan and their associated costs

Deliverables: Written Assignment-3 full pages (exclusive of title and reference pages) applying APA formatting that will consider the following scenario:

Activity Details

Perform the following steps:

Step 1: Begin with an introductory paragraph that describes what a business plan is and why it important for every business to have one.

Step 2: Research and Write Essay Content

Research and review from the course readings and external sources.

Explain the pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages, and risk factors of financing your business to include:

• Debt (borrowing the money from banks, friends, and family)
• Equity (sharing ownership with private and/or public investors, as with stock offerings)
• Costs associated with your possible sources
• Risks associated with your possible sources

Step 3: Conclusion Summary

For the conclusion paragraph summarize what you have learned about possible business funding sources. State your preference of financing (Debt, Equity, or combination thereof) if you were to start or extend a business venture.

Describe the continuity correction (covered in an earlier course unit), and explain how, when, and why it is used in statistics. Don't limit your thinking to the most common example given of this corrective step: approximation of binomials using the Normal distribution. While that is an example of such a correction, it is only one example. (Hint: You could compare the development of this correction logic for discrete distributions to the use of integration against continuous distributions.) Discuss the more general case and how it affects probabilities you might need to calculate as an engineering working on a project.

Your response of 1-3 paragraphs (about 100-200 words).
