The 1990s were characterized as the “lost decade” for Japan. Growth in per-capita GDP was very low as the economy stagnated. The IS-LM model played a key role in the economist’s debates. This question is about trying to understand which policy the government should use to try to pull Japan out of a recession.

1. Interest rates were extremely low in Japan at this time. When interest rates get close to zero, the demand for money is extremely high (say close to infinity). In this case, what does the LM curve look like? Draw a picture of what the LM curve may look like for Japan.

2. Now, let’s think about the IS-LM equilibrium in Japan. Which part of this LM curve do you think the Japanese economy is in equilibrium at? Indicate this on your graph and draw in the IS curve now to give you an equilibrium at that point.

3. How effective a tool is a monetary policy for pulling the economy out of the recession in Japan?

1)In the IS–LM model, the impact of a decrease in government purchases in the goods market has ramifications in the money market, because the decrease in income causes a(n) ______ in money ______.

A) Increase; supply;

B) Increase; demand;

C) Decrease; supply;

D) Decrease; demand.

2)If the IS curve is given by r = 18 – .01Y and the LM curve is given by r = -4 + .01Y, if the full employment level of output is 1,200, then in the long run, with no government policy intervention (hint: what is the short run equilibrium Y and think about SRAS and LRAS as well as the IS-LM)

1. The price level decreases and the output level increases;
2. The price level decreases and the output level decreases;
3. The price level increases and the output level increases;
4. The price level increases and the output level decreases.

3)If the IS curve is given by r = 18 – .01Y and the LM curve is given by r = -4 + .01Y, if the full employment level of output is 1,200, then in the long run (hint: what is the short run equilibrium Y and think about SRAS and LRAS as well as IS-LM)

1. The LM curve will shift downwards (to the right) and the interest rate will increase.
2. The LM curve will shift upwards (to the left ) and the interest rate will decreases.
3. The LM curve will shift downwards (to the right) and the interest rate will decrease.
4. The IS curve will shift inwards causing the interest rate to increase

8) The following statement is an erroneous interpretation of the article. Explain why. “People enjoy the giant monster battles in Godzilla films, and this is why his size is increasing.” (10 pts):

A sample has a activity of 0.0089 Bq per gram of carbon. (a) Find the age of the sample, assuming that the activity per gram of carbon in a living organism has been constant at a value of 0.23 Bq. (b) Evidence suggests that the value of 0.23 Bq might have been as much as 44% larger. Repeat part (a), taking into account this 44% increase.

2. Write a program that asks for hexadecimal number and converts it to decimal. Then change it to convert an octal number to decimal in perl language.

A rectangular channel which is laid on a bottom slope of 0.0064 is to carry 20 m3/sec of water . Determine the width of channel when the flow is in critical condition. Take n =0.015

Think about the last movie you saw in a movie theater. What aspects of the movie had international components in it? Are there more international elements included than compared to your favorite movie from 10 years ago?

How would you resolve two DNA fragments of similar size as two separate bands on an agarose gel?

In recent years, several securities firms have been guilty of using inside information when purchasing securities, thereby achieving returns well above the norm (even when accounting for risk). Does this suggest that the security markets are not efficient? Explain.

The emissivity of the human skin is 97.0 percent. Use 35.0 °C for the skin temperature and approximate the human body by a rectangular block with a height of 1.64 m, a width of 35.5 cm and a length of 25.0 cm.
Calculate the power emitted by the human body.

What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral distribution for this temperature?

Fortunately our environment radiates too. The human body absorbs this radiation with an absorbance of 97.0 percent, so we don't lose our internal energy so quickly. How much power do we absorb when we are in a room where the temperature is 21.0 °C?

How much energy does our body lose in one second?

A global survey published in 2019 indicated that 99 percent of the respondents would like to work remotely at least some of the time and 95 percent of the respondents indicated that they encourage others to work remotely.86 In another survey published the same year, 47 percent of respondents indicated that a remote work policy is important to them when looking for a new job. Also, 40 percent indicated they would consider a pay cut for a job that allows them to work from anywhere. Appen, Dell, Appiro, Cisco, Salesforce, ConsenSys, GitHub, Lenovo, Ultimate Software, and Rackspace are among the top tech companies hiring remote workers. The job titles for telecommuters include search engine evaluator, voice data collector, digital project lead, software engineer, and AR/VR solutions architect. Working from home offers some clear advantages for both employees and employers. It also offers some disadvantages, such as lack of control and monitoring; however, this is changing. Using computer-monitoring software, employers are now able to check if employees are working or slacking off. One such software application is InterGuard (Awareness Technologies).

To make telecommuting more productive, some employers set targets for each employee to accomplish in a given period. Other employers review summaries of different Web sites that employees have visited and the amount of time that employees have spent on various Web sites. Some other employers track projects and schedule meetings on shared calendars in order to monitor their employees. Still other employers require “virtual face time” via e-mail, instant messaging, video chat, or calls.

Answer the following questions in a Microsoft® Word document

1. Is a telecommuting policy a benefit that is essential to attracting top employees to a company? Why or why not?
2. What types of job functions are suitable for telecommuters?
3. What are some methods that employers use to monitor their employees?
4. What is an example of a software tool that is used for employee monitoring? What are the benefits and drawbacks of using employee monitoring software?

What are the benefits and opportunity costs to a bank that maintains a consistent level of excess reserves?
