Budget Surplus: A Case Study

A small midwestern city has a $1 million budget surplus. Two groups immediately begin vying for the funds. One of the requests comes from downtown businesses requesting to use the money to beautify downtown by adding brick sidewalks and planting areas with the goal of attracting customers. As city manager, you are aware that the downtown area has not been doing as well as predicted and that the small businesses are necessary for the development of a “vibrant downtown,” as stated in the city’s goals. The other request comes from the city’s police department wanting to begin a unit to pursue “career criminals.” You are familiar with the statistics and know that repeat offenders commit an overwhelming number of crimes. There is an apparent trend in police departments to address this issue separately. The two groups are competing for limited resources. Both causes are considered worthy of city funding, but decisions must be made, given that $1 million will not fully fund both requests. Both crime control and economic development are of vital interest to your community, and both have active constituents who will come to the city council meetings with their requests.

Respond to the following questions:

1. How will you, as city manager, handle these requests? explian
2. What recommendations will you make to the city council? Explian
3. What role will you play with the constituents of both groups to satisfy their requests? Explian

Suppose a country has a floating exchange rate for its currency and begins in long-run equilibrium. Consider the effect of a temporary rise in real money demand. Use a DD-AA-XX diagram to answer the following (you do not need to show the diagram, but you do need to write in words what happens on it).

(a) Indicate any movement(s) of the curves on your diagram that can be observed as a result of the temporary rise in real money demand. What happens to national income, Y, and the exchange rate, E, as a result? What happens to the current account, and how do you know that?

(b) What should the country do regarding fiscal policy to achieve full-employment national income again in the short run? Indicate any movement(s) of the curves on your diagram that can be observed as a result of the country implementing this fiscal policy. How do the equilibrium exchange rate, E, and national income, Y, levels after implementing this policy compare to their ending equilibrium positions in part (a), and how do they compare to their initial positions prior to the rise in real money demand?

(c) What should the country do regarding fiscal policy to achieve the current account level it started with (the current account level the country had prior to the rise in real money demand)? Indicate any movement(s) of the curves on your diagram that can be observed as a result of the country implementing this fiscal policy. How do the equilibrium exchange rate, E, and national income, Y, levels after implementing this policy compare to their ending equilibrium positions in part (a), and how do they compare to their initial positions prior to the rise in real money demand?

Write a JAVA program to store some details of pizzas (menu item number, size, base, extra cheese, extra
garlic), curries (menu item number, size, curry type) and softdrinks (menu item number, size,
flavour, bottle or can) in a single array, with the options of listing all menu items or deleting a
particular menu item.
Your program must continuously prompt the user to choose an option from a list and act on that
option, until the exit option is chosen. (See the sample output below.) If a menu item is not found,
output "Not found" instead of "Done".

You must use inheritance and polymorphism to model your Pizza, Curry and SoftDrink classes (use
those exact class names) as subclasses of the same base class, which forms the basis for the array.

Note: Be very careful to reproduce the output exactly. Copy-and-paste is highly recommended to
avoid minor typographical errors that drive you crazy when submitting online!

1. A block of mass m₁ = 2kg is placed on a 30 degree incline. The block is attached to a string that passes over a pulley at the top of the incline. vertically from a string that passes over a pulley. A mass m₂ = 0.2kg is hanging from the other end of the string. If the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are u_s = 0.4 and u_k = 0.3,
   1. Will the system accelerate if it’s initially at rest? Justify your answer with physics!
   2. If it does accelerate, what is the acceleration? In which direction is this acceleration?
   3. What is the value of m₂ that will cause the system to be stationary if friction is negligble?

It is difficult to make a budget that spans several years, because prices are not stable. If your company needs 200 pencils per year, you cannot simply use this year’s price as the cost of pencils two years from now. Because of inflation, the cost is likely to be higher than it is today.

The program asks for the cost of the item, the number of years from now that the item will be purchased, and the rate of inflation. The program then outputs the estimated cost of the item after the specified period. Have the user enter the inflation rate as a percentage, such as 5.6 (percent). Your program should then convert the percent to a fraction, such as 0.056, and should use a loop to estimate the price adjusted for inflation.
