Deserted on a deserted Island you spot a slightly exposed tin can under a tree. Upon opening it you find it’s instructions to a treasure. It reads: “Ten paces from this very tree in a direction twenty degrees south of west lies the first location. Ten paces from this very tree in a direction sixty degrees north of east lie the second location. Walk from this tree exactly the distance and direction you would walk from the first location to the second location and you will find ye treasure. Yar” (a) What are the coordinates of treasure? (b) Use a physical representation in conjunction with the Related Quantities sense-making technique to check the validity of your answer.

During the summer of 2017, fifteen former leaders of the White House Council of Economic Advisors signed a letter to President Trump urging him not to place tariffs on imports of steel into the United States. The letter notes that “Among us are Republicans and Democrats alike, and we have disagreements on a number of policy issues. But on some policies there is near universal agreement. One such issue is the harm of imposing tariffs on steel imports.” Tariffs are taxes imposed by government on imports. Those who endorse tariffs and other barriers to free international trade believe that such barriers protect domestic industries and the jobs of their employees.
Why do many economists, including those who have served for both Republican and Democratic administrations, support free trade policies and oppose tariffs and trade barriers even if these barriers are designed to protect domestic workers from losing their jobs? What types of jobs would be most vulnerable to job losses due to competition from imports?

Use a well-labelled diagram with wages on the vertical axis and safety on the horizontal axis. Depict an iso-profit schedule for a representative firm and an isoquant for a representative worker that are in equilibrium. (a) What do each of the iso-profit schedule and the isoquant show and why are they shaped as they are? (b) What is meant by there being in equilibrium? (c) Show the impact of a government regulation that mandates or requires a level of safety that is greater than the one depicted above when the parties are in equilibrium, and assuming that the zero-profit constraint means that the firm cannot remain in business and reduce its level of profits

Juan, a17-year-old Hispanic youth, was referred to the school psychologist at the end of the first school term because of apparent academic and emotional concerns. His grades were slipping, and it looked like he might not get any credits his first term. The counselor has also explained that Juan was the driver in a fatal car wreck at the end of the previous academic year, in which his bestfriend was killed. Although Juan was hospitalized, the counselo rsaid that he insisted on going to the funeral, even though he could barely move, having suffered several broken ribs. When the psychologist met with Juan, he was initially reluctant to discuss the accident but as rapport was established, he admitted to feeling helpless, feeling fatigued because of lack of sleep, and having problems concentrating on his schoolwork. He wanted to quit school, because he did not want to be in the same class with students who blamed him for his friend’s death, and furthermore he did not see why he should plan for a future. He admitted to having vivid dreams of his friend, seeing him as if he were alive. Often he would wakeup, startled.He had no recollection of how the accident happened, as he could not remember the details, even though a witness had said that another car was involved. Although he has a girlfriend, Juan rarely feels like doing anything, and in the past few month she has preferred to be alone. Although he was very close to his deceased friend’s family(theywereinseparable), he has not seen them since the funeral. In this case, Juan is faced with the aftermath of a traumatic experience in which he was seriously injured and his friend was killed. He feels helpless because of the accidental nature of the wreck. Undoubtedly, Juan has significant survivor guilt. Faced with traumatic events of this nature, individuals react with fear, horror, or helplessness. In younger children, these feelings are often expressed in disorganized anda gitated behaviors.
IN 250 words:
Examine the diagnostic criteria and two areas on the diagnostic continuum. Identify three prominent symptoms related to comorbid or co-occurring disorders that may be present in Juan’s situation.
