In Chapter 28, you learned about the concept of comparative advantage. How does this principle apply to people/members in the church? In other words, you may consider that every individual within the Church community has a different/unique role (pastor, praise band leaders, server for meals, children’s ministry, etc) as gifted from God. How does the principle of comparative advantage relate to this situation? For you to receive full credit, please make sure you provide an accurate analysis based on the knowledge of comparative advantage to this given situation. Please do not refer to other sources, other than your textbook. (Due: Day 4(Thursday) by 11:59pm; word count: minimum 300 words).

(a) Compute the impedance of a series R-L-C circuit at angular
frequencies of w1 = 1000 rad/s, w2 = 735 rad/s and w3 = 540 rad/s.
Take =160 ohm, = 0.940 H and = 2.05 uF.
(b) Describe how the current amplitude varies as the angular
frequency of the source is slowly reduced from 1000 to 540 .
a-Amplitude is always constant.
b-Amplitude decreases.
c-Amplitude increases.
d-First amplitude increases next it decreases.
e-First amplitude decreases next it increases.
(c) What is the phase angle of the source voltage with respect to
the current when w = 1000 rad/s?

A point charge +q is at the origin. A spherical Gaussian surface centered at the origin encloses +q. So does a cubical surface centered at the origin and with edges parallel to the axes. Select "True" or "False" for each statement below.
1. Suppose (for this statement only), that q is moved from the origin but is still within both the surfaces. The flux through both surfaces is changed.
2.If the radius of the spherical Gaussian Surface is varied, the flux through it also varies.
3. The area vector and the E-Field vector point in the same direction for all points on the spherical surface.
4. The E-Field at all points on the spherical surface is equal due to spherical symmetry.
5. The Electric Flux through the spherical surface is less than that through the cubical surface.

Using Excel Linear Solver Please answer the following, include all of the constraints.
You are a project manager for a consulting firm. You are going to hire four new employees. The candidates that you are choosing from are named Amy, Bob, Charlie, Debbie, and Elizabeth. You are managing two projects that you will use your new employees to complete. Project 1 will require at least 700 labor hours and Project 2 will require at least 870 labor hours. Elizabeth is the owner’s daughter so you will have to hire her. Amy and Charlie used to work together, but they can’t stand each other. If you hire one, you can’t hire the other. You have contracts that guarantee a set fee for each of the projects. Your profit will be determined by your ability to minimize your labor costs. Each of the employees you hire will require a signing bonus. The respective signing bonuses required for each employee if hired follow: Amy $24,000; Bob $11,000; Charlie $16,000; Debbie $17,000; Elizabeth $15,000. The hourly rate you pay each employee is determined by the type of project to which they are assigned. For Project 1, the required hourly rates for each employee if hired follow: Amy $100; Bob $95; Charlie $85; Debbie $50; Elizabeth $45. For Project 2, the required hourly rates for each employee if hired follow: Amy $60; Bob $40; Charlie $75; Debbie $120; Elizabeth $130. If you hire an employee, they can be used for both projects. Labor should be allocated in one hour increments. During the lifespan of these two projects, the candidates are available to work the following number of hours: Amy 440; Bob 730; Charlie 520; Debbie 680; Elizabeth 590. Which candidates will you hire?

Fuqua Company’s sales budget projects unit sales of part 198Z of 10,400 units in January, 13,000 units in February, and 13,400 units in March. Each unit of part 198Z requires 4 pounds of materials, which cost $3 per pound. Fuqua Company desires its ending raw materials inventory to equal 40% of the next month’s production requirements, and its ending finished goods inventory to equal 20% of the next month’s expected unit sales. These goals were met at December 31, 2019.

One disadvantage of global brands is that ...
Group of answer choices

What is the impact of a firm’s marketing mix on its international promotional strategy?
Group of answer choices
a. The marketing mix can have an important impact on the success of the international promotional strategy but the impact of each element in the mix will vary by country. Due to these differences the decisions for each part of the marketing mix could vary from country to country.
b. The most important impact is on pricing because consumer ability to purchase varies tremendously from country to country. Though this still supports a global promotional strategy, the pricing strategy will vary while other elements can remain global.
c. Generally the marketing mix plays a limited role compared to other aspects of the promotional strategy such as advertising and public relations. With its relatively low impact, a firm is generally able to have a global promotional strategy.
d. The marketing mix does have an important impact on the success of the international promotional strategy but due to globalization of consumer demands, the impact generally is the same from country to country, which supports a global promotional strategy.
