Robert has been asked by friends to join them at a protest rally against the World Trade Organization (WTO). Because he is taking International Business, he wants to use the facts he is learning to help make a decision. Three topics that especially concern Robert are poverty, human rights, and the environment. For each of these topies, prepare at least one argument for each side, that is, one pro and one con. In conclusion, give your own view of whether Robert should participate.

Write a script that checks each minute and reports on who logs in and who logs out.

You can follow the steps below (not the only way):

1. Using the commands who and cut, extract the list of usernames currently logged in the system
2. To check after a minute, the sleep command can be used: sleep 60
3. Get the new list of users logged in after a minute
4. For each user in the list;
   1. check if they are in the second list using if and grep. You can dump the output of grep to /dev/null when using it in the as a test for the if statement
   2. If the user is not in the second list, print that the user has logged out
5. For each user in the second list,
   1. If he is in the first list, print that the user has logged in
6. Rename the second list as the first list
7. Repeat the process from step 2

Country A has 100b$ trade deficit against Country B, and Country B has 200b$ trade surplus against Country C, and Country C has 150b$ trade surplus against Country A. Moreover, assume that Country B has a balanced trade with other countries (countries other than A and C), but Country A has 100b$ trade surplus against other countries (countries other than B and C) and Country C has 100b$ trade deficit against other countries (countries other than A and B). Then, Country B closed its border permanently due to the outbreak of corona virus and thus excluded from world financial and trade markets permanently. What happens to real world interest rate? How does this affect the real exchange rate and nominal exchange rate between Country A and Country C in long run? Assume that Country B is sufficiently large so it has a significant effect on world savings and investments, and further assume that the virus only affects Country B. Explain in detail by showing the changes in the relevant markets.

##################Raffi Balin's coffee importing company employs 120 people. Each week, the staff meet for breakfast, and discuss possible improvements. Each employee is encouraged to share, and is rewarded for good ideas. For example, one of the coffee roasters suggested that the firm import tea as well, because new health and lifestyle concerns are causing many consumers to reduce coffee consumption in favour of tea. A tea division was formed, and became successful (after a few false starts that helped everyone learn). The coffee roaster was put in charge of the new division and, as a result, saw her annual salary triple. Is Raffi's business an innovative organization? Explain?

A fast-food restaurant has identified three primary groups willing to purchase its meals. However, customers are willing to purchase only one meal each. The table shows the total number of meals bought at three different prices. The number of consumers is the total number of buyers at each price level.

The restaurant can produce a meal with no fixed costs and a constant marginal cost of $1 per unit.

1st attempt

Part 1   (2 points)

If the restaurant charges only one price for the meal, it will charge   $--- and receive a profit of   $ -----.

Part 2   (2 points)

Assume the firm can distinguish between customers and has the ability to charge different customers different prices. If the restaurant can perfectly price-discriminate, the highest price it will charge is   $ ----- . The total profits under perfect price discrimination are   $ ----- .

Part 3   (2 points)

Assume the firm can distinguish between customers and has the ability to charge different customers different prices. If the restaurant charges two prices, it will charge $-----and $-------.

and receive a profit of   $-------.

1. Writing a recommendation of 2 pages for a movie or a TV series that is related to strategic management.

Guidelines for the expectations of the article

-The movie/TV series recommendation should include the film/ TV series title, leading actors, the director, the storyline, and how does the movie/ series related to strategic management.

-You can pick any movie/TV series that are related topics in the lectures or in the textbooks, for example, game theory, corporate merger & acquisition, and corporate governance, etc.

-Does this movie/ TV series have a surprise ending? If yes, what parts of the movie/series are unexpected and do they relate to strategic management? If no, please skip this question.

1. Consider the following three alternatives. Using incremental IRR analysis, determine which of these projects is the most desirable. Your MARR is 11%. Each of these projects (A&B) will last for eight years. (2 points)

Q5. A monopolist has the cost function C(Q) = m*Q +k*Q2 where m and k are parameters. It faces two types of consumers, A and B, with the following demand curves for its product: PA =60–3*QA PB =80–2*QB For (a)—(c) below, assume Assume m=30 and k=0.

(a) [4] What price will the monopolist charge under uniform pricing?

(b) [4] What prices will the monopolist charge if it can price discriminate?

(c) [4] How much higher is the monopolist’s profit in (b) than in (a)? Now, for part (d), assume m=30 and k=3.

(d) [10] What prices and quantities will the monopolist choose under price discrimination, and under uniform pricing?

If corporate downsizing and lack of job security cause consumers to spend less and save more, what will be the impact on the exchange rate and trade balance?

a. Use the basic version of the long-run model of a small open economy to illustrate graphically the impact of this decline in consumer confidence on the exchange rate and the trade balance. Assume the country starts from a position of trade balance, i.e., exports equal imports. Be sure to label:

i. the axes
ii. the curves
iii. the initial equilibrium values
iv. the direction the curves shift
v. the new long-run equilibrium values.

b. Based on your graphical analysis, explain the predicted impact of a decline in consumer confidence on the exchange rate and the domestic economy's trade balance.

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra, which has mass m, down a frictionless chute, starting at a height D above the bottom of the chute and with an initial speed of v. The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μ. At what distance d from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Express your answer in terms of the given variables and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

I thought the answer was (0.5v^2+gh)/(mu x g) but it is not correct apparently
