Around the world, governments are introducing laws which either limit or prohibit the availability of cryptography for their citizens, require key escrow (c.f. the Clipper chip), or require telecommunications and Internet service providers and software developers to somehow break or weaken cryptography in their products, perhaps by introducing 'back doors' or other vulnerabilities (e.g. the Assistance and Access Act (Cwlth) 2018).
Take a position for or against government intervention in cryptography, for government, the business sector and private individuals. In each case, you should briefly describe and weigh up the positive benefits of cryptography as well as the threats it poses. Should governments have the power to prohibit or break encryption?
There are obvious implications for confidentiality and privacy, but what about the other security properties such as integrity, entity authenticity, integrity, anonymity, fairness, etc.?
What are the implications of any weakening of protocols or the introduction of back doors? Are there other, perhaps more important, threats to democracy and individual liberties in cyberspace?

Due to changes in social structures such as the economy and corporate America, some argue the American Dream is no longer available to all Americans. On the other hand, others still believe anyone can climb the social ladder and experience social mobility. Think about whether you agree or disagree with the idea that social mobility is achievable for most Americans.
Write an essay expressing your opinion about social mobility and the American Dream. Be sure to explain the sociological terms structural mobility and life chances in your response. Integrate these terms and concepts to discuss whether the American Dream is achievable for most Americans.

John and Sandy Ferguson got married eight years ago and have a seven-year-old daughter, Samantha. In 2018, John worked as a computer technician at a local university earning a salary of $152,000, and Sandy worked part-time as a receptionist for a law firm earning a salary of $29,000. John also does some Web design work on the side and reported revenues of $4,000 and associated expenses of $750. The Fergusons received $800 in qualified dividends and a $200 refund of their state income taxes. The Fergusons always itemize their deductions and their itemized deductions were well over the standard deduction amount last year. The Fergusons had qualifying insurance for purposes of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Use Exhibit 8-9, Tax Rate Schedule, Dividends and Capital Gains Tax Rates for reference.
The Fergusons reported making the following payments during the year:

The Ramirez Company uses standard costing in its manufacturing plant for auto parts. The standard cost of a particular auto part, based on a denominator level of 4,200 output units per year, included 5 machine-hours of variable manufacturing overhead at $9 per hour and 5 machine-hours of fixed manufacturing overhead at $17 per hour. Actual output produced was 4,600 units. Variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $260,000. Fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $375,000. Actual machine-hours were 27,500.
Requirements
1. |

Describe how individual fixed manufacturing overhead items are controlled from day to day. |
4. |
Discuss possible causes of the fixed manufacturing overhead variances. |
