Explain in detail the impact of COVID-10 to SMEs and the initiatives of the government in helping SMEs in MALAYSIA.

One of the benefits of Data Analytics is the ability to see and test the full population. In that case, why is sampling (even monetary sampling) still used, and how is it useful?

You need a particular piece of equipment for your production process. An​ equipment-leasing company has offered to lease the equipment to you for $ 10,000 per year if you sign a guaranteed 5​-year lease​ (the lease is paid at the end of each​ year). The company would also maintain the equipment for you as part of the lease.​ Alternatively, you could buy and maintain the equipment yourself. The cash flows from doing so are listed below​ (the equipment has an economic life of 5 ​years). If your discount rate is 7.1 %​, what should you​ do?

The net present value of the leasing alternative is ​$ nothing. ​(Round to the nearest​ dollar.)

In a test of the hypothesis that the population mean is smaller than 50, a random sample of 10 observations is selected from the population and has a mean of 47.0 and a standard deviation of 4.1. Assume this population is normal.

a) Set up the two hypotheses for this test. Make sure you write them properly.

b) Check the assumptions that need to hold to perform this hypothesis test.

c) Calculate the t-statistic associated with the sample.

d) Graphically interpret the p-value for this test, that is, i) draw a (nice) graph with a t-distribution (remember of the number of degrees of freedom) ii) locate on the graph the t-statistic you found in part (c) iii) mark the P-value on the graph

e) Calculate the P-value for this test.

f) Statistically interpret the P-value for this test.

g) Let the level of significance α = 2.5%. Using P-value, make a conclusion for your test (write a complete sentence for full credit).

h) Let the level of significance α = 2.5%. Find the related critical value tα.

i) What is the rejection region (RR) implied by α = 2.5% ?

j) Draw the RR on your graph on page 1, part (d).

k) Using the RR, make a conclusion for your test (write a complete sentence for full credit).

Consider an exchange economy. Is it possible to have a Pareto optimal allocation where one consumer is worse off than she is at a different allocation that is not Pareto optimal? Explain.

There is a trauma from moving operations to a global supply chain and you must not put your supply chain in the hands of amateurs. Why is this statement important to a Global Supply Chain?

A helicopter propeller blade starts from rest and experiences a constant angular acceleration of 14.0 rad/s2. Find the speed of a point on the blade 5.60 m from the axis of rotation when the blade has completed 13 revolutions.

Consider a firm producing two goods, good A and good B, by using a fixed amount of labor. The production possibilities set of the firm is given by Y = {(a,b) ∈ R2 + | a2 +4b2 ≤ 16}. Assume the price of A and the price of B are equal to $1. Solve the revenue maximizing level of outputs for the firm.

Calculate the field weights of the ingredients for 0.039 m3 of concrete by using ACI Method of Mix Design. Job specifications dictate the followings:  

Cement content: 300 kg/m3

w/c: 0.57 (by weight, from the strength point of view)

w/c: 0.53 (by weight, from durability point of view)

Fine Aggregate (SSD)/Coarse Aggregate (SSD)=0.45 (by weight)

Air Content: 1,30 %  

For Fine Aggregate (Crushed): SSD Bulk Specific Gravity: 2.47, Total Moisture: 5,0 % and Absorption Aggregate: 2,7 %.  

For Coarse Aggregate (Crushed): SSD Bulk Specific Gravity: 2.60, Absorption Capacity: 2.0 %, Total Moisture: 1.9 % and Dry Rodded Unit Weight: 1470 kg/m3.

Cement: Sulphate Resisting Cement, Specific Gravity: 3.17

True or False: Of the major economies in the world, the United States had the highest growth rate of real GDP per capita between 1982 and 2009.

・True

・False

Japan experienced average annual real GDP per capita growth of 2.0% between 1982 and 2009. Which of the following helped most to contribute to that growth?

・Redistributive policies designed to decrease poverty

・Privatization of previously nationalized industries

・Spending on research and development

When a person gets an influenza vaccine, he or she is less likely to get sick with the flu. This makes it less likely for that person to pass the flu to someone else. Suppose that the external benefit created by the influenza vaccination is equal to $100 per dose.

(a) In a diagram, show the equilibrium in the influenza vaccine market. Also, show the quantity that would maximise social surplus. Is this equal to the perfectly competitive market equilibrium quantity? Fully explain your answer.

(b) Thanos suggests an alternative policy. He says that if the government puts a $100 per dose tax on the vaccine then this will maximise social surplus. Is he correct? If he is correct, show the social gain under his policy compared to the perfectly competitive equilibrium. If he is incorrect, show the deadweight loss under her policy. Note: Illustrate your answers using the diagram drawn for part (a).

What abilities define our concept of an intelligent person in Saudi Arabia? What abilities do you think would define the concept of an intelligent person in both rural Africa and Tokyo Japan?

A uniform ladder 5.30  m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.10  m from the wall. The ladder weighs 157  N . The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.430. A painter weighing 739  N climbs slowly up the ladder.

How far along the ladder can the painter climb before the ladder starts to slip?

Fabulous Fabricators needs to decide how to allocate space in its production facility this year. It is considering the following​ contracts:
