Consider the property tax model. Assume that housing supply curve is upward sloping. Draw the following two diagrams.
1) a diagram showing equilibrium before the property tax on housing. Indicate equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus on the diagram.
2) a diagram showing how equilibrium changes due to the property tax on housing. Specifically, mark the original equilibrium before tax, the new equilibrium after tax, tax burdens borne by developer and households, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government tax revenue, and deadweight loss due to the tax.

Q # 7: What is a mixed stimulant-psychedelic drug and how does it differ from LSD?  Compare and contrast the symptoms of an entactogen and an empathogen,

Q # 8:  Describe the effects of MDMA metabolism and the length of psychedelic drug effects on an individual.

Q # 9:  How can MDMA alter serotonin and dopamine neurotransmission? What kinds of changes happen to the brain as a result of MDMA use?

Q # 10: Explain how recreational use of MDMA, PCP, ketamine, and dizocilpine can cause dissociative disorders? Can any of these drugs be instrumentally used to treat psychological disorders?

There's been much public discussion in he past year or so about whether Amazon, Google, and Facebook are monopolies. What is the purpose of antitrust laws? How do current antitrust laws apply to these organizations? (Choose at least one and discuss).    

It's the nature of technology to outpace the law. Do you think the current system of antitrust regulation is sufficient to accomplish the intended purpose with regard to these companies? What do you see as the risks and benefits of maintaining the status quo in this area?

What if any changes do you think would be appropriate, and why?  

Both Bond A and Bond B have 7 percent coupons and are priced at par value. Bond A has 7 years to maturity, while Bond B has 18 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percentage points, what is the difference in percentage changes in prices of Bond A and Bond B? (i.e., Bond A - Bond B).  The bonds pay coupons twice a year.

(A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Choose one of the financial statements that were covered in this module: The Balance Sheet, The Statement of Operations, The Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the Statement of Cash Flows. In your own words, explain what important information it provides and why it is necessary. Refer to your chosen topic and reference its relevance. Lastly, can you think of some important information not included on your chosen statement? Why do you think the other financial statements are needed?

In your follow-up post, choose a student's post with an opposing perspective and discuss your position.

Question 1

(a)   For the nucleation process, explain the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation. Why heterogeneous nucleation is more common than

homogeneous nucleation.

(b) (i) Sketch and label the cross-section view of common macrostructure of a metal ingot after solidification process.
(ii) If the molten metal is added with 2 wt% of grain refiner, explain how the grain refiner changes the macrostructure of this metal ingot.

(c)   What is the difference between point defect and line defect?

(d)   Briefly explain why vacancies and self-interstitials are considered as the crystal defects?

Speculate on the main reasons why the skills and training of project managers have changed over time. Give your opinion as to whether these changes have been good for business. Provide a rationale for your response.

Suppose you are starting a Project Management Office (PMO) at an organization. Give your opinion as to what the key considerations would be for the endeavor to be successful. Speculate whether you would hire an experienced project manager or a consulting company to facilitate the starting of the PMO. Support your rationale with at least two (2) advantages of hiring your selection.

Suppose nodes A and B are each behind their own NAT firewall (9.7 Network Address Translation).

A ──── NAT_A ──── Internet ──── NAT_B ──── B

A and B attempt to connect to one another simultaneously, using TCP. A sends to the public IPv4 address of NAT_B, and vice-versa for B. Assume that neither NAT_A nor NAT_B changes the port numbers in outgoing packets, at least for the packets involved in this connection attempt. Show that the connection succeeds. (Note that, because A has already sent a packet to B at the time B’s packet to A arrives at NAT_A, the latter packet is allowed through, and is delivered to A.)

Carlos takes a glass of cold water from the refrigerator and puts it on a table. The day is sunny
and the temperature is 30 °C. Once outside the refrigerator, the water temperature was
0 °C and after 10 minutes it rose to 18 °C. Determine a differential equation that models the
temperature change over time, assuming the reason at which the temperature changes
of the drink is proportional:

a) The difference between its own temperature and that of the surrounding environment.

b) Determine what happens with temperature when time tends to infinity.

c) the square of the difference between its own temperature and that of the surrounding environment.
