Larsen Company is a manufacturer of car seats. Each car seat passes through 1st the assembly department and 2nd testing department. This problem focuses on the testing department. Direct materials are added when the testing department process is 90% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during the testing department’s process. As work in assembly is completed, each unit is immediately transferred to testing. As each unit is completed in testing, it is immediately transferred to Finished Goods. Suppose that Larsen Company uses FIFO in all of its departments. Data for the testing department for October 2014 are as follows:

                                                   Physical      Transferred-          Direct             Conversion

Modern (MPT) and Post-Modern (PMPT) Portfolio Theory  

Harry Markowitz (1952/1957/1959) developed Modern P ortfolio Theory (MPT). Graph the Expected Return on the Portfolio (E(r)p) vs. th e Portfolio Standard Deviation (Show). Show the Rf rate, Capital Allocation Line (CAL), Ef ficient Frontier (EF) Umbrella, Tangency of the CAL/EF along with Utility Curves (U C), show how risk- averse/institutional investors have to lower their utility to get to the Market Basket (M) tangency point. Show how you can move up and down t he Efficient Frontier by buying/selling bonds to reallocate your portfolio b etween stocks and bonds, raising and lowing return and risk, how you can jump off the Ef ficient Frontier and up and down the CAL through the use of leverage or lending. And, sh ow how you can bow out the EF by allocating your portfolio to Alternative Investment s (AI). Give examples of AIs, and what would be the target/model portfolio for the next 30 years for risk-adjusted/institutional investors? Show how they can be better off using th e Inverse Coefficient of Variation (CV) Equation? What two objectives are you as the p ortfolio manager trying to achieve? Show how Cash Value Life Insurance (CVLI) as a uniq ue alternative asset class can allow your clients portfolio return jump off the ef ficient frontier and onto a higher Utility Curve (UC).

The purpose of this assignment is to assess your understanding of economic externalities, public goods and how they are paid for. Write a 1 to 1.5 page (500-750 words) essay. In your paper, discuss the definition of externality, why government intervention is usually required to address the economic failure that results, and how taxes are used to fund this.

Use your textbook and at least one other reliable source to find information. The online library or Google Scholar are both good options.

Structure your paper as follows:

1. Intro paragraph (5 points) – provide overview of the information you will cover, including describing how externalities, market failures, and taxes are related.

2. Body paragraphs (15 points) – detailed description of each of the following as they relate to your thesis.
   1. Taxes
      1. Clearly define and give an example of each type of tax approaches: proportional, regressive, progressive. The examples do not need to be actual taxes, just taxes that you realistically create to give examples of the three types of taxation.
   2. Externalities
      1. Define the concept of economic externality.
      2. Give an example of a positive and a negative economic externality.
      3. Why is government intervention generally required to adjust for economic externalities?
   3. Public Goods
      1. Give an example of a public good and explain why it is a public good (think about the excludability and rivalry of the good).
      2. Why do public goods need to be paid for via taxes?
      3. Explain the Free Rider problem, and how it is addressed via taxes.

3. Summary (3 points)
   1. Restate your thesis and provide a conclusion about your main points.

4. References page (3 points)
   1. Provide a list of references; must include author, title, publication title, publication year, and source or retrieval information.

Content requirements: (3 points)

• Content should be in your own words, with 20% or less from outside sources
• In-text citations used for any information from outside sources, should include author and publication year
• Quotation marks enclose any information used word-for-word.

Writing mechanics: (6 points)

• Times 12 point font, double-spaced text, indent first line of each paragraph
• Proofread and correct all errors in capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and spelling

JAVA programming - please answer all prompts as apart of 1 java assignment.

Part A

Create a java class InventoryItem which has

• a String description
• a double price
• an int howMany

Provide a copy constructor in addition to other constructors. The copy constructor should copy description and price but not howMany, which defaults to 1 instead. In all inheriting classes, also provide copy constructors which chain to this one.

Write a clone method that uses the copy constructor to create a copy. Create similar clone methods in all classes in this assignment.

Write a toString for this class that returns something like "Footo the Wonder Boot Exploder ($22.99)" (leave out howMany)

Also write an equals method for this class. InventoryItems can only be equal to other InventoryItems, and only if they have the same price and description (even if howMany is different). Note how the equals method agrees with the copy constructor about what it means for two InventoryItems to be the same.

Add a method view(), that prints something like "Viewing: Footo the Wonder Boot Exploder"

In a harness class with a main, create several InventoryItems, clone them, and check that equals works properly.

Part B

Create a class Book which inherits from InventoryItem and also has a String author (Book will use description to hold the book's title). toString for this class will return something like "Book: The Curse of the Flying Wombat by Constance deCoverlet ($12.95)".

For Book, override view() to print something like "Opening Book Exerpt: The Curse of the Flying Wombat"

Also override equals to require author is the same, in addition to the requirements in the superclass (chain the equals methods together).

Create a class MusicCD which inherits from InventoryItem and also has a String performer (it will use description to hold the CD's title). toString for this class will return something like "CD: Tommy Gnosis: Greatest Hits ($18.65)"

For MusicCD override view() to print something like "Now Playing Sample: Greatest Hits".

Also override equals to require performer is the same, in addition to the requirements in the superclass.

In your main, create more InventoryItem variables, but point them at a Book and a MusicCD. Use clone to make copies of each type and make sure this works. Check that equals works properly.
