Most government interventions are designed to modify market outcomes, and the aim is usually to improve economic welfare. However, some interventions are specifically motivated purely by political considerations. For this task, we will consider political intervention in the labour market in Venezuela. This case study comes from the article by: Chang-Tai Hsieh, Edward Miguel, Daniel Ortega, and Francisco Rodriguez. 2011. The Price of Political Opposition: Evidence from Venezuela’s Maisanta, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics 3: 196–214.

Note that the analysis in this reference is advanced and you do NOT have to read the entire study to complete the assignment. You should, however, read pages 196-198.

1. Figure 1 on page 197 of the Hsieh et al. (2011) article shows that over one million voters who signed a petition to remove President Hugo Chávez from office were discriminated against and experienced a drop in their wages and employment. Use demand and supply analysis to illustrate this situation.

2. With the aid of a diagram, discuss the impact this political event is likely to have had on Venezuela’s production possibilities and economic welfare.

Western State University (WSU) is preparing its master budget for the upcoming academic year. Currently, 12,000 students are enrolled on campus; however, the admissions office is forecasting a 7 percent growth in the student body despite a tuition hike to $80 per credit hour. The following additional information has been gathered from an examination of university records and conversations with university officials:

• WSU is planning to award 160 tuition-free scholarships.
• The average class has 20 students, and the typical student takes 20 credit hours each semester. Each class is four credit hours.
• WSU’s faculty members are evaluated on the basis of teaching, research, and university and community service. Each faculty member teaches five classes during the academic year.

Required:
1. Prepare a tuition revenue budget for the upcoming academic year.
2. Determine the number of faculty members needed to cover classes.
3. Assume there is a shortage of full-time faculty members. Select at least five actions that WSU might take to accommodate the growing student body by selecting an "X" next to the action.
4. You have been requested by the university’s administrative vice president (AVP) to construct budgets for other areas of operation (e.g., the library, grounds, dormitories, and maintenance). The AVP noted: “The most important resource of the university is its faculty. Now that you know the number of faculty needed, you can prepare the other budgets. Faculty members are indeed the key driver—without them we don’t operate.” Are faculty members a key driver in preparing budgets?

quick and easy to answer!
1. suppose you are working in a busy lab with multiple people sharing a given analytical balance. if you are weighing something which you will only have to weigh once, such as weighing out a reagent onto some weigh paper, which you immediately use to make a solution. is it OK to use the balance ' tare or zero function to set the vessel tare to zero? why or why not? if not what should be done instead?
2. now suppose you are weighing something thay you will have to weigh again later. for example suppose you are weighing out some sample into a crucible. later in the procedure you will heat the sample in the crucible to partially decompose it and you will need to know the mass of the material thay remains. is it OK to use the balance's zero fun tin to set the tare to zero? why or why not. if not what should you do instead.

luStar Company has two service departments, Administration and Accounting, and two operating departments, Domestic and International. Administration costs are allocated on the basis of employees, and Accounting costs are allocated on the basis of number of transactions. A summary of BluStar operations follows:

BluStar estimates that the cost structure in its operations is as follows:

Required:

a. If BluStar outsources the Administration Department, what is the maximum it can pay an outside vendor without increasing total costs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

b. If BluStar outsources the Accounting Department, what is the maximum it can pay an outside vendor without increasing total costs? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

c. If BluStar outsources both the Administration and the Accounting Departments, what is the maximum it can pay an outside vendor without increasing total costs?

A 765-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.10×103 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.30×103 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion.

Part A

What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion?

Part B

How much energy was supplied by the explosion? [Hint: What is the change in kinetic energy as a result of the explosion?]

What is the difference between the scales of measurement? Specifically Ordinal, Interval and Ratio scales of measurement because they are all very similar. Please provide good examples and explanation so I can understand the difference and not be confused when trying to determine/ solve for a variable.

Example:

Each voter was asked to rate their support for the current government on a scale from 0-100 (zero indicates no support whatsoever, while 100 indicates fully supporting the current government).

Voter support is the dependent variable but is it ordinal or interval scale of measurement?

The Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory manufactures and distributes chocolate products

Additional Information:

It purchases cocoa beans and processes them into two intermediate​ products: chocolate-powder liquor base and​ milk-chocolate liquor base. These two intermediate products become separately identifiable at a single splitoff point. Every 2,000 pounds of cocoa beans yields 50 gallons of​ chocolate-powder liquor base and 50 gallons of​ milk-chocolate liquor base. The​ chocolate-powder liquor base is further processed into chocolate powder. Every 50 gallons of​ chocolate-powder liquor base yield 650 pounds of chocolate powder. The​ milk-chocolate liquor base is further processed into milk chocolate. Every 50 gallons of​ milk-chocolate liquor base yield 1,070 pounds of milk chocolate.

Production and sales data for August 2017 are as follows​ (assume no beginning​ inventory):

- Cocoa beans​ processed, 22,800 pounds times

- Costs of processing cocoa beans to splitoff point​ (including purchase of​ beans), $62,000

Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory fully processes both of its intermediate products into chocolate powder or milk chocolate. There is an active market for these intermediate products. In August 2017​, Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory could have sold the​ chocolate-powder liquor base for $20 a gallon and the​ milk-chocolate liquor base for $60 a gallon.

Question:

1. Calculate how the joint costs of $62,000 would be allocated between chocolate powder and milk chocolate under the following​ methods:

a. Sales value at splitoff

b. Physical measure​ (gallons)

c. NRV​ (Net Realizable​ Value)

d. Constant​ gross-margin percentage NRV

2. What are the​ gross-margin percentages of chocolate powder and milk chocolate under each of the methods in requirement​ 1?

3. Could Cocoa Mass Edibles Factory have increased its operating income by a change in its decision to fully process both of its intermediate​ products? Show your computations.

Lesson Six Discussion Question:

Please respond to the following discussion,

Very few would argue with the claim that the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief is the greatest formal power that a president possesses. Yet, in the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to formally “declare war.” Presidents for the last 60-70 years have openly stated that they do not need Congressional authorization to use the military to pursue America’s interests on the global stage. As proof, America has not formally declared war since WWII. So, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghanistan, and now Syria have all been military exercises, but not wars in the Constitutional sense.

Has the power of the President of the United States as Commander-in-Chief exceeded constitutional boundaries and should those powers be curtailed, given the constant state of war we find ourselves in? Or should the President’s military powers continue to expand to address the growing chaos in our world, despite the Constitution or in congruence with the Constitution? Explain your answer.
