1. One of the biggest news stories of the past few months is the outbreak of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), first in China and then throughout the world. Numerous pharmaceutical companies have begun to develop COVID-19 vaccines. If all goes well, it will be at least a year before a vaccine is developed, tested, and approved by the FDA. However, one company—Moderna Therapeutics—has beaten all of the other companies in the race so far and is the first to advance to Phase 1 clinical trials.
Suppose that Moderna is the first company to gain approval for a COVID-19 vaccine in the United States. The monthly demand for COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. is Q = 16 – (P/6) where Q is measured in millions of vials and P is measured in dollars. Moderna’s total cost of producing Q vials of vaccine is 2Q2 and Moderna’s marginal cost is 4Q.
1.A As the only company allowed to sell COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., what price would Moderna charge for its vaccine to maximize profit? How many vials of vaccine would Moderna sell each month? What are Moderna’s monthly profits from the sale of COVID-19 vaccine?
1.B How many vials of vaccine would be produced and what price per vial would be charged if this were a perfectly competitive market?
1.C (Vaccines, like the COVID-19 vaccine being developed by Moderna, provide benefits beyond the benefits received by those vaccinated. For instance, as more people are vaccinated, the odds of disease transmission to vulnerable groups who cannot be vaccinated (e.g., infants) are reduced. Suppose the marginal social benefit of the COVID-19 vaccine is 110 – 6Q, which is greater than the marginal private benefit. Given this, what role do you think the federal government should play in vaccine development, if any, beyond the determination of safety and effectiveness associated with vaccine approval?

Block elements v.s. inline elements.
<!DOCTYPE html>

.textdiv {

Step 1. Review the difference between block element and inline element from the reference (Links to an external site.).
Step 2. The CSS text-align property is used for aligning the inner content of a block element.
To do: Uncomment line 6 in center-ex1.html. Check if all the Lorem Ipsum text on page is centered. Can you explain why some text is not centered. Fix this problem and center all text by adding a single CSS rule in the CSS class selector textdiv.
Step 3.
To center align an <img> element, which is an inline element, you can use different approaches.
Approach 1: Use text-align: center; to center the image within its parent container.
Approach 2: Turn the <img> into a block element by changing its display property from the default inline value to block: display: block; and then use margin: auto; so the image is centered within its parent container.
To do: Add a single rule in the CSS class selector. imgdiv to center the "number two" image on the page.

A calorimeter consists of a massless beaker that contains 50.0 grams of solid water (i.e., ice) at −30 °C. Then 800 grams of lead at 70.0 °C are added to the calorimeter. [The specific heat of lead is 130 J kg⋅Cº. ]
a) Find the final temperature of the calorimeter after equilibrium is reached.
b) If the final temperature is 0 °C, what fraction of the ice is melted?

Consider the following statement “The Australian economy is "weak", with households weighed down by slow wages growth and higher taxes, the OECD has declared in a report that backs lower interest rates, calls for more government spending…” Use the dynamic AD-AS model to describe a longer run scenario where the government is trying to pursue higher economic growth using higher government spending, but were incorrect in their estimation of the major parameters governing long run full employment equilibrium. In your analysis discuss the implications of an incorrect scenario predicted by the government when effecting their stimulus policy on equilibrium output and (un)employment. Make sure to outline the assumptions you have made to reach your conclusion. Limited 400-500 words
