McDonalds in the early Kroc years. What was the value proposition offered by McDonalds? What brought customers (repeatedly) in the door? What did the SWOT analysis look like at this time? McDonalds in the Skinner years (c, 2003) Had the value proposition changed? How does a SWOT analysis look different? What do those changes suggest about the need to adapt? McDonalds (2017) How does a SWOT analysis look different? What do those changes suggest about the needing to constantly challenge your value propositions for your targeted markets?

In the early months of 2020, many sectors in Hong Kong have been hit hard by the COVID19 outbreak. Investigate how the COVID19 affects the various aspects of the economy, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), import and export, economic growth/economic recession, unemployment, and cost of living (inflation/deflation)?

Have the government remedial policies been able to revitalize the economy?

What appropriate policies should be taken to revitalize the economy of Hong Kong if your group were one of the policy-makers in the government leadership?

Early industrial societies used whale oil in oil lamps and for lubricating machines. The composition of oil varied across whale species. For example, sperm whales were targeted because their oil commanded a higher price in the market. Whaling boomed in the 1800s. You can assume that the primary focus of commercial whaling was to recover oil.

a. Develop a simple graphical model to describe the growth and decline of whaling in the US over the period 1800 through 1900.

b. Describe the factors that led to the growth and decline of commercial whaling over the period 1800-1900. Provide evidence that supports the model provided in (a) above. Your research should consider the impact of technology, markets, prices, rules governing access, attributes of the resource, and other factors you might uncover.

c. Using (a) and (b) test the veracity of the “Demsetz hypothesis”: In a situation of unrestricted access to a resource, private property rights in that resource will emerge if the net benefits are positive. In other words, did private property rights emerge? If not, why not? Justify your answer.

1. In the early eighties, under the Reagan administration, macroeconomic policies in the United States were characterized by relatively expansionary fiscal policy (fueled by increased defense spending and tax cuts) and very tight monetary policy. Compared to an alternative policy mix which produced the same level of Y using more expansionary monetary policy and more contractionary fiscal policy. Contrast the two different policy mixes graphically and in words. Explain what effects you would expect such policy mixes to have on each of the following:
   1. Interest rates in the United States.
   2. The real exchange rate of the U.S. dollar.
   3. The current account of the U.S. balance of payments.

Use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint (or another software tool approved by your instructor) to create a floor plan of the learning environment that would be necessary for your weekly curriculum theme for the age group you chose in Module 01. Be sure to label your floor plan so that it is clear what activity/interest centers you are including and how they are arranged within the space. Your learning environment should reflect Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP), as well as the weekly curriculum theme you have identified for the course project. Below is a list of some potential activity/interest areas that you may need. Note: Not all of the activity/interest areas below will be needed for all weekly curriculum themes.

Early in 2014, Jones Industries was formed with authorization to issue 125,000 shares of $20 par value common stock and 15,000 shares of $100 par value cumulative preferred stock.  During 2014, all the preferred stock was issued at par, and 90,000 shares of common stock were sold for $35 per share.  The preferred stock is entitled to a dividend equal to 5 percent of its par value before any dividends are paid on the common stock.

During its first five years of business (2014 through 2018), the company earned income totaling $3,850,000 and paid dividends of 55 cents per share each year on the common stock outstanding.  

On January 2, 2016, the company purchased 2,000 shares of its own common stock in the open market for $80,000.  On January 2, 2018, it reissued 1,200 shares of this treasury stock for $60,000. The remaining 800 shares were still held in treasury at December 31, 2018.

6. Retirement Planning for Jennifer and Lennon.

Jenifer is an early bird for everything. She starts to contribute $1,000 to her own 401(K) plan right after she joined company A.E. Corp (at the age of 30). Jenifer's colleague, Lennon, is a late bird for everything. He decides to enjoy his life before he turns 45 and then contributes to his 401(K). Over a coffee break, he learns that Jenifer contributes $1,000 per month now. He figured that if he can contribute $2,000 every month starting from age 45 he would have contributed the same amount as Jenifer when they turn 60 years old (he thought they will both contribute a total of $360,000 = 1000 * 30 *12 also = 2000 *15 *12). In this way, he can lead a pretty decent life style before he turns 45 and have the same amount of retirement funds as Jenifer. After his quick calculation, he decides to persuade Jenifer to do the same. 1) If you were Jenifer, do you agree with Lennon? What seems to be the most important factor to determine the end balance in the retirement plan? 3) What other factors are also important with a 401(K) plan? 4) How can you guide your clients like Jennifer and Lennon to make sound financial decisions to optimize their retirement investments? What should you do differently?

You are planning for a very early retirement. You would like to retire at age 40 and have enough money saved to be able to draw $ 220,000 per year for the next 40 years​ (based on family​history, you think​ you'll live to age 80​). You plan to save for retirement by making 15 equal annual installments​ (from age 25 to age​ 40) into a fairly risky investment fund that you expect will earn 12% per year. You will leave the money in this fund until it is completely depleted when you are 80 years old.

1. How much money must you accumulate by​ retirement?

​(Hint​:Find the present value of the $ 220,000 withdrawals.)

Calculate the present value to find out how much money must be accumulated by retirement. ​(Round your answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

2. How does this amount compare to the total amount you will draw out of the investment during​ retirement? How can these numbers be so​ different?

These numbers are different​ because:

A.You need to have far more accumulated than what you will withdraw because you will withdraw a large portion of the investment every yearlong dash the balance remains invested where it continues to earn 12% interest.

B. You need to have the same accumulated as you will withdraw because you will not earn further interest on your investment when you reach retirement.

C.You need to have far less accumulated than what you will withdraw because you only withdraw a portion of the investment every yearlong dashthe balance remains invested where it continues to earn 12​% interest.

D.None of the above.

3. How much must you pay into the investment each year for the first fifteen ​years?​(Hint​: Your answer from Requirement 1 becomes the future value of this​ annuity.) ​(Round your answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

4. How does the total​ out-of-pocket savings compare to the​ investment's value at the end of the fifteen-year savings period and the withdrawals you will make during​ retirement?​ (Use the investment rounded to the nearest whole number that you calculated​ above, then round your final answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

b) Give brief information about NSFNET that form the backbone of the Internet in early 1990s? How many routers were involved?

c) Consider a router that interconnects three subnets: Subnet 1, Subnet 2, and Subnet 3. Suppose all of the interfaces in each of these three subnets are required to have the prefix 223.1.17/24. Also suppose that Subnet 1 is required to support up to 63 interfaces, Subnet 2 is to support up to 95 interfaces, and Subnet 3 is to support up to 16 interfaces. Provide three network addresses (of the form a.b.c.d/x) that satisfy these constraints.
