The recent tariff increases have affected the American economy and have driven supply chains to make quick changes as they scramble to help offset the added costs of importing goods... mainly how these tariffs affect Americans in LUMBER AND STEEL industries.

I need an answer for both industries:

Q1: If I were a major Steel business owner/ producer, why would I care how these tariffs are affecting Supply Chains? (250 words)

Q2: If I were a major Lumber business owner/ producer, why would I care how these tariffs are affecting Supply Chains? (250 words)

Please answer the question to the point. Thank you

What intermolecular force(s) is/are present in acetone that it would be a liquid at room temperature? Is there more than one force? If yes, which is stronger and which is weaker?

Merrill Corp. has the following information available about a potential capital investment:   

Assume straight line depreciation method is used.  


Required:
1. Calculate the project’s net present value. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.)

         

2. Without making any calculations, determine whether the internal rate of return (IRR) is more or less than 10 percent.

    

   

3. Calculate the net present value using a 13 percent discount rate. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to nearest whole dollar.)

       

4. Without making any calculations, determine whether the internal rate of return (IRR) is more or less than 13 percent.

    

you are evaluating an investment that requires $2,000 upfront and pays $500 at the end of each of the first 2 years and an additional lump sum of $1000 at the end of year 2. What would happen to the IRR if the annual payment at the end of the first year go down from $500 to $300 and the annual payment at the end of the second year stays at $500?

Blocks A (mass 3.00 kg ) and B (mass 14.00 kg , to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is headon, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A.

Part A) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.

Part B) Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum

Part C) Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.

Part D) Find the velocity of block A after the blocks have moved apart.

Part E) Find the velocity of block B after the blocks have moved apart.

• Imagine that you have been hired to advise Qantas on their future after the COVID-19 crisis
• Find evidence of macroenvironmental trends from five PESTN categories (Demographic, Cultural, Economic, Political, Technological, Natural) that are likely to impact Qantas in 2021 (i.e. next year). Remember that each trend should be something external to Qantas. The evidence should be from credible sources.
• How will each identified trend impact on Qantas' business? Is it an opportunity or a threat? Why?
• What action would you recommend to Qantas as a result of your analysis? Ensure that you justify your recommendations.

Please answer this very simple conceptual physics question: Regarding a parallel plate capacitor-- Explain something different between the potential inside the plates compared to potential outside the plates.

BestBuy plans to have an end of the season sale on videogames and High Definition TVs. After a focus group study, their marketing team found that they have four different types of customers, each with their own respective reservation price. The reservation prices are as listed below:

For simplicity, assume that the marginal cost for producing any of these products is $0, and there is only one representative customer of each type.

(a) If BestBuy were to sell TV and videogames separately, what price should it set for each product in order to maximize its profit?

(b) BestBuy paid an outside consulting firm about its marketing strategy. The consultant recommended that BestBuy bundle TV and videogame as a package rather than selling them separately. Is the consultant correct? Why or why not? What is the profit of pure bundling? Is it higher or lower compared with the separate selling scenario in (A)? Are customers’ reservation prices of TV and videogames negatively or positively correlated?

(c) Suppose BestBuy has perfect information about the reservation price of each customer. It adopts a first-degree (perfect) price discrimination policy. What prices should it charge to maximize profit? What is the profit under this strategy? Is this higher than the profit in (a) or (b)?

Write a method called "twoStacksAreEqual" that takes as parameters two stacks of integers and returns true if the two stacks are equal and that returns false otherwise. To be considered equal, the two stacks would have to store the same sequence of integer values in the same order. Your method is to examine the two stacks but must return them to their original state before terminating. You may use one stack as auxiliary storage.

Suppose a potential biological control agent was found to attack an indigenous Drosophila species in California, in quarantine laboratory screening work. The US Fish and Wildlife Service oppose release of the biocontrol agent because of this, suggesting that the risks are too great in terms of impacting an endemic species. What risk assessment options could you employ in further work to determine whether the biocontrol agent is safe to release? How would you explain the measurement of risk to the FWS and the public in general?
