...paper Week Two Assignment Credit Cards play a large role in the average family’s economic crisis in the United States today. It seems that far too many people cannot budget their monthly expenses and credit cards are filling the gap between expenses and income. My advice to anyone that will listen is to live within your means. Some people are able to bridge this gap responsibly, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Every family needs to sit down and realistically prepare a budget. Define what things the family needs and at the bottom of the list define what things that the family wants. Items we can’t live without, (rent, power, water, insurance, food, and gas). Items we want, (cigarettes, soda pop, Starbucks, movies, and cable television). Calculate the monthly cost of our wants and needs. Once that magic number is agreed on calculate the family’s income. Unfortunately, the family income is usually a much easier number to understand. Whether it is one paycheck or two, the net income is what we have to work with. If the expenses are greater than the income, the credit card is not going to fix the problem; instead it will only enhance the problem exponentially. If you are unable to pay off the credit card each month, the interest rate can add up quickly. Once a person is in this predicament balance transfers to new cards, and credit card checks are the next way to fill the gap. Unfortunately, the...

...before Thanksgiving. Despite this, the price of frozen turkeys usually falls in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. Explain why using the economics of demand and supply. [3 points] Answer: The merchants predicted the increase in demand during thanksgiving and stock up more frozen turkey supplies beforehand. Therefore, the supply of frozen turkey increases far more than demand, leading to a surplus of frozen turkey. The surplus causes the fall in frozen turkey price in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. b) In contrast to frozen turkeys, the price of fresh free-range turkeys normally increases in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. Using demand and supply analysis, explain why this might be the case? [3 points] Answer: Unlike frozen turkey, the fresh free-range turkeys cannot be stock up too for long beforehand, otherwise, the quality will be lowered. Compared with the strike increase in demand, there are not enough supplies of fresh free-range turkey. Therefore, the shortage of fresh free-range turkeys leads to the increase in the price of fresh free-range turkey. c) The cross elasticity of demand between the price of fresh turkeys and demand for frozen Turkeys is 0.23. What does this figure tell you about the relationship between the two different types of turkey? [2 points] Answer: this figure shows these two demands are cross-inelastic. In other words, the change in price of fresh turkey will not largely impact on the demand for frozen Turkey. In relate to...

...Planning to Become a One-Income Family Deciding What's Best for Your Family First, evaluate the work-related expenses. If one person is staying home, will this mean that less money will be spent on eating out for lunch, gas to and from the office, day care, or travel? The answers will be different for each family and sometimes the answers may surprise you. Next, determine what new expenses will occur. If you are thinking about going back to school, how much will tuition and books cost? How much will medical expenses be with the birth of a baby? Along those same lines, how much to children actually cost? On the other hand, if you are starting your own business, think about what you will need to get started. Will you need a new workspace? Where will you get insurance? How much start-up money will you need? Using these new figures, think about how much one income will bring in, how much you will save in spending, and...

...youtube.com/watch?v=kl39KHS07Xc Dr. Martin Luther King was one of first to support a universal basic income because he believed it could eliminate poverty as a whole. Dr. King wanted to deal with poverty at the root by providing everyone with a certain amount of money to put them above poverty instead of attempting to fix each issue the poor face, such as education, health, and housing. In the video, they discuss the benefits of having a guaranteed income and how it can end poverty as Dr. King believed it would. They show studies of how we might spend the money and if it would go to waste on drugs and alcohol, and it was confirmed that it would not. Most people granted the money instead went on to improve their lives by going back to school or take time off to find a better job....

They are written in bullet point form but in answering any similar examination question, you would need to argue your case clearly, showing • What are the key issues; Your evidence for identifying these as issues; Your reasons as to why the issue is important; Recommendations for improvement After a decline, the company’s profitability (ROI, ROCE, Operating margin) has improved recently. However, the gross margin has dropped for five consecutive years, suggesting that selling prices are not being increased to pass on purchase (or production) cost increases. This deteriorating margin is a significant risk for the company as profits have only been increased by the large reduction in overhead as a percentage of sales in 2009. If margins continue to erode and if overheads as a percentage of sales cannot be continually cut, profits may be at serious risk. The company needs to continue to increase sales growth, fix its gross margins and continue to manage overheads. Working capital has been at extremely high levels but has fallen to close to 2:1, an improvement, but with an acid test greater than 1, is probably still too high. This is demonstrated by the relatively high days’ sales outstanding (60 against 30 day terms), which even though it has improved is still too high. Inventory represents the biggest concern to working capital as at 3.3...

...they get part of their income after their retirement, so this benefit prevents them from working after a certain age. The seniors who actually benefit from social security used to pay it from each check that they got in their past labor life. However, the actual situation of social security is partly different from years ago; there is not enough labor force to pay for this benefit, which means that social security, is paying more in benefits than getting revenue to support future beneficiaries. As a result, most of our seniors have to work harder than they were younger to try to live a life away from debts. Nevertheless, there are ways to reduce this debt by informing its...

...My position on wealth inequality is similar to Brandon King's in the sense that I do not believe raising taxes on the upper-class is the solution, since by raising taxes on the rich results in them being less likely to spend money and, therefore, cannot help the economy. King asserts this notion by stating, "money that goes to businesses helps drive the economy, and raising taxes on the rich would be counterproductive." More importantly, I agree with King's sentiment that the upper class should not be scrutinized for their well being, but instead aided in further growth in order to fix the economy. Assisting the upper class by giving them more assistance in their business has the potential to further stimulate the economy and it's growth, as...

...Discrimination Still Alive Rio Hondo College Ethics and Morality Philosophy 120 Joe Rasmussen Discrimination Still Alive Discrimination is the differential treat of others based on the group they are associated with(). Unjust discrimination occurs when we allow negative stereotypes or feeling be the source of our choices for treatment, housing, income, and education. Though many things have changed since Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, discrimination is still a very real problem today. Continuing racial segregation is still occurring with African Americans and now with the occurrence of 9/11 come a more harsh discrimination of Arab Americans. Racism continues to be a current problem in the modern world but even sadder is the fact that society seem to be oblivious to just how serious racism is and its effects on those it hampers. In America there are a lot of different ethnicities, even though we are the same humans America people point out or even just in general conversations people use racial remarks. In this country, at this time Arabs are the most discriminated against due to 9/11. A person can’t judge every person who has a turban on their head, Even Indians wear them but for different reasons and their totally different from a person who Americans think they are. I myself am guilty of this because I automatically think of the 9/11 Twin Towers and think what if they blow me up. The second most ethnicity I think are very discriminated against is Hispanics...
