Suppose that Lorenzo, an economist from a university in Arizona, and Neha, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over government bailouts. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:

Neha: Thanks to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days.

Lorenzo: Indeed, it's gotten crazy! A government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets.

Neha: I don't know about that. Without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession.

1. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to

A. differences in scientific judgments

B. differences between perception versus reality

C. differences in values

2. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?

A. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.

B. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.

C. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.

The different interpretations which were given for Human Resource Management produced two Schools of Thoughts – the Soft and the Hard Versions. They are considered as two main models of HRM. The soft version focuses on human’s side and the hard part on the job. One of the first explicit statements of the Human Resource Management concept was framed by the Michigan School of Thought under the leadership of Fombrun et al in 1984. The model was also known as the “Matching model”. This model also shows that there is a tight fit between the organization strategy, the organization structure and the Human Resource Management system. Fombrum et al have argued that in this model the practices of HRM is made up of the human resource cycle comprising of 4 generic processes that need to be performed in mostly all organisations. They are:

1) Selection,

(2) Appraisal,

(3) Rewards,

(4) Development.

Considering these four processes, describe clearly with examples how they are implemented and managed in organisations to justify that they are making full-use of HRM activities for their success and competitiveness. Substantiate your descriptions with examples. You can refer to any existing enterprise.

2. Market structures

For each of the following scenarios, identify the number of firms present, the type of product, and the appropriate market model. Select the matching entry for each dropdown box in the following table.

Pick a state and check the unemployment compensation laws of that state (choose a different state than your peers). Determine the answers to the following questions:

How do nonprofit organizations, subject to coverage, make payments to the unemployment compensation fund?

Can part-time teachers collect unemployment compensation between school terms?

Can professional athletes receive unemployment compensation?

Are aliens covered by the unemployment compensation law?

1. How do employers protest or appeal benefit determinations and charges against their accounts?
2. Briefly describe how a person's weekly benefit rate and maximum benefit amount are determined.
3. Can an unemployed worker collect additional benefits if he or she has dependents? If so, how much is paid for each dependent?
4. Does the state provide payment of partial benefits?
5. Are benefits payable to a female during pregnancy?
6. Can employers make voluntary contributions to their state unemployment reserve accounts?
7. For what reasons may an unemployed worker be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits?
8. What steps are taken by the state unemployment agency to prevent the improper payment of claims?

Remarks

A team of visiting polio eradication workers were informed during their orientation session that population-wide studies done in their host country showed that the risk of polio in villages of that country was strongly epidemiologically associated with the village’s economic/human development circumstances, which ranged greatly from village to village.  In some villages, residents lived in hand-constructed huts with no running water, no latrines or sewage disposal areas, and no electricity.  In other places, residents lived in wooden or adobe homes which, though modest by Western standards, had all of the above services in place and whose street side craft shops and food markets did a brisk business, catering both to locals and visitors.

Knowing this information, the team went into several villages and attempted to assign a “human development rating” to each family.  This was based on that family’s income situation, access to running water, access to elementary school for their children, and the condition of the home. To their surprise, they found that families in all the villages had no difference in polio risk based on the family’s human development rating.

*****Complete #3 two ways*********

            i. Same as in Example above

            ii. using the Excel NORMDIST and NORMINV functions

                        demonstrated in the Prob Dist podcast

NOTE: Excel functions (just as the table) may not directly give the answer you are looking for, you must understand what they return and how to use it.

3. The average amount parents spent per child on back-to-school clothes in Fall 2019 was $635. Assume the standard deviation is $150 and the amount spent is normally distributed.

a. What is the probability that the amount spent on a randomly selected child is more than $800?

b. What is the probability that the amount spent on a randomly selected child is more than $500

c. 95% of the parents will spend more than what amount?

Journal entries for a Custodial Fund The city of Belle collects property taxes for other local governments—Beau County and the Landis Independent School District (LISD). The city uses a Property Tax Collection Custodial Fund to account for its collection of property taxes for itself, Beau County, and LISD. Prepare journal entries to record the following transactions and events for Belle’s Custodial Fund during calendar year 2019. 1. During 2019, property taxes were levied for Belle ($2,000,000), Beau County ($1,000,000) and LISD ($3,000,000). Assume taxes collected by the Custodial Fund will be paid to Belle’s General Fund. 2. Property taxes in the amount of $4,500,000 are collected. The percentage collected for each entity is in the same proportion as the original levy. 3. The amount owed to the city of Belle, Beau County, and LISD is recognized. The city of Belle charges an administrative fee to Beau County ($20,000) and LISD ($60,000) to collect the taxes, which reduces the amount owed to Beau County and LISD. 4. The Custodial Fund distributes the amount owed to the three governments.

Question 2

Pat and Sam are a couple with two young children, Cassandra, aged 3, and Clairvoyance, aged 1. They live in Liverpool. Until now, both have been able to continue with their full-time jobs, because Sam’s mother, Emily, could look after both children during the day. (Because both Pat and Sam are in paid employment, Cassandra is entitled to 30 hours of free childcare during term time which she was using).

However, Emily’s health has rapidly but temporarily deteriorated and she needs care herself for the time being so she’s no longer able to provide it for her grandchildren when needed. Pat and Sam are weighing up options as they have secured a nursery place for Clairvoyance either part-time or full-time should they choose to use it.

2.1  Briefly explain two factors that could disproportionately affect Sam’s lifetime financial well-being if she were to give up her full-time job to look after the children until they are in school.
