...ECONOMICS FOUNDATION - MBA 502 Homework Assignments Chu Nguyen Quynh Huong Class: M0111 Assignment 1 – Microeconomics 1. The Basics of Supply and Demand (Pindyck – Chapter 2): Excercises 9, 10 (page 63). Excercises 9: a) The original demand is QD =18-3P And supply is QS =-6+9P The 20-percent increase in demand means that the new demand is 120 percent of the original demand, so the new demand is Q ́D =1.2QD Q ́D =1.2(18–3P)=21.6–3.6P. The new equilibrium is where Q ́D equals the original supply: 21.6 – 3.6P = - 6 + 9P The new equilibrium price is P* = $2.19 per pound. An increase in demand of 20 percent, therefore, increases price by 19 cents per pound, or 9.5 percent. b) Using the new price of $2.19 in the supply curve, the new equilibrium quantity is Q* = - 6 + 9(2.19) = 13.71 million metric tons /year, an increase of 1.71 million metric tons/ year. c) The new supply of copper falls (shifts to the left) to 80 percent of the original, so Q ́S = 0.8QS = 0.8(-6 + 9P) = - 4.8 + 7.2P. The new equilibrium is where Q ́D = Q ́S. 21.6 – 3.6P = - 4.8 + 7.2P. The new equilibrium price is P* = $2.44 per pound. Plugging this price into the new supply equation, the new equilibrium quantity is: Q* = 4.8 + 7.2(2.44) = 12.77 million metric tons/ year. Exercise 10: a) The competitive (non-OPEC) quantity supplied is Sc = Q* = 20. The general form for the linear competitive supply equation is SC = c + dP. the short-run supply elasticity as ES = d(P*/Q*) where d is...

...Math Investigation Transformation of graphs A.1:By looking at the different graphs we can observe the effects of k in the function. In the graphs acts on the y-axis, by the changing the value of k the y axis goes down or up, it’s a vertical translation. When the value is positive the parabola goes up and when is negative it goes down. In the first graph when K is 4 it moves four spaces up in the y axis and the second one when K is -3 it moves three spaces down. Although the line moves the curve is not affected, this means that the gradient is not affected. A.2: My observations from last exercise apply to this graphs. The value of k is still a constant so the line keeps moving the y axis upwards or downwards depending on the value , it doesn’t move through the x axis , this means that the gradient never changes. A.3:Generalisation When ever the value of K is a constant it will only affect the line on the y axis .Theres a vertical translation on the line, when the value is positive it moves upwards and when is negative it moves dowards from the original line.The cruve of the line never changes this in other words mean that the gradient stays the same and the line don’t moves through the x axis. B.1 By looking at the graphs above we can observe the effects of h on the function. On the first graph the value of his 3 so it moves to the right three spaces.There is a horizontal translation on the x axis.If the values I positive it moves to the right and if negative it moves...

...Nursing and Environmental Theory, “Florence Nightingale.” Nightingale’s theory changed the face of nursing by her observations she conducted of her patient’s dying illness and the environmental conditions that contributed to their illness and possible deaths. By her own observations came about the development of,” Nightingale’s Theory”. Nightingale’s theory consist of four parts,”The Metaparadigm of Nursing”, Person, Health, Nursing and Environment. All of which are connected to each other pertaining to the patient as a whole. Person is the patient, by taking care of the patient’s individual needs. The nurse should address each patient’s needs and illness separately to encourage or achieve the best outcome for that patient’s illness. Improving the patient’s health and by improving their environment. The environment paradigm in Nightingale’s theory is in my opionion the most important theory and connects all of the parts as one. Protecting the patient’s environment may include, keeping the patient’s surrounding area’s clean, neat and free of debri or rubbish. No Sharps items laying around(hospital or home area’s)that are uncapped or contaminated, No soiled sheets left on patient, clean water for baths whether it’s a bed bath or shower, clean drinking water for patient’s...

...Copyright c 2006 by Karl Sigman 1 Geometric Brownian motion Note that since BM can take on negative values, using it directly for modeling stock prices is questionable. There are other reasons too why BM is not appropriate for modeling stock prices. Instead, we introduce here a non-negative variation of BM called geometric Brownian motion, S(t), which is defined by S(t) = S0 eX(t) , (1) where X(t) = σB(t) + µt is BM with drift and S(0) = S0 > 0 is the intial value. Taking logarithms yields back the BM; X(t) = ln(S(t)/S0 ) = ln(S(t))−ln(S0 ). ln(S(t)) = ln(S0 )+X(t) is normal with mean µt + ln(S0 ), and variance σ 2 t; thus, for each t, S(t) has a lognormal distribution. 2 As we will see in Section 1.4: letting r = µ + σ , 2 E(S(t)) = ert S0 the expected price grows like a fixed-income security with continuously compounded interest rate r. In practice, r >> r, the real fixed-income interest rate, that is why one invests in stocks. But unlike a fixed-income investment, the stock price has variability due to the randomness of the underlying Brownian motion and could drop in value causing you to lose money; there is risk involved here. (2) 1.1 Lognormal distributions If Y ∼ N (µ, σ 2 ), then X = eY is a non-negative r.v. having the lognormal distribution; called so because its natural logarithm Y = ln(X) yields a normal r.v. X has density f (x) = This is derived via computing xσ 1 √ e 2π −(ln(x)−µ)2 2σ 2 0, d dx F (x) , if x ≥ 0; if x < 0. for ...

...FROM WID TO GAD: CONCEPTUAL SHIFTS IN THE WOMEN AND DEVELOPMENT DISCOURSE Abstract The Fourth World Conference on Women, to be held in Beijing in September 1995, provides an opportunity for the world community to focus attention on areas of critical concern for women worldwide concerns that stem from social problems embracing both men and women, and that require solutions affecting both genders. One of the main objectives of the Conference is to adopt a platform for action, concentrating on some of the key areas identified as obstacles to the advancement of women. UNRISDs work in preparation for the Fourth World Conference on Women focuses on two of the themes highlighted by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women: 2 inequality in women’s access to and participation in the definition of economic structures and policies and the productive process itself; and 2 insufficient institutional mechanisms to promote the advancement of women. The Institutes Occasional Paper series for Beijing reflects work carried out under the UNRISD/UNDP project, Technical Co-operation and Women’s Lives: Integrating Gender into Development Policy. The activities of the project include an assessment of efforts by a selected number of donor agencies and governments to integrate gender issues into their activities; the action-oriented part of the project involves pilot studies in Bangladesh, Jamaica, Morocco, Uganda and Viet Nam, the goal of which is to initiate a policy dialogue between...

..., .- Preface This guide has been designed to present the very basics in bookkeeping and cooperative financial statements. The format is designed for those that have limited bookkeeping or accounting experience. It is not meant to be all inclusive, but to provide guidance in developing the cooperative’s record keeping system and understanding financial statements. In most cooperatives, trained accountants will take care of the financial reports and more difficult accounts, such as depreciation expense. However, all board members should understand the bookkeeping functions and be able to interpret financial reports. By understanding all components of bookkeeping and the financial documents, the board will be better able to design an accounting system for their cooperative, maintain accurate bookkeeping records, and make prudent business decisions based on the financial reports. Practice exercises are included that should be completed after the sections on the daily journal and the general ledger and a final exercise at the end of the guideline.

...Biodegradation of methylene blue and bromophenol blue was demonstrated by monitoring the effects of the different parameters and determining optimal conditions for degradation activity. Introduction Several industrial activities, such as textile dyeing, olive oil extraction and the manufacture of pulp and paper are characterized by intensive water consumption rates. They release huge amounts of more or less coloured effluents into the environment. As far as synthetic dye release is concerned, textile dyeing facilities and the manufacture of dyestuffs are two major polluting sources. In addition, traditional textile dyeing processes generate a large amount of coloured effluents, because about 100 litres of water are required to process 1 kg of dyed fabrics. Moreover, up to 15% of applied dyestuffs are lost to the effluents due to dyeing process inefficiencies. Colour itself could be very pernicious to the receiving water courses not only for aesthetic reasons and toxicity towards many aquatic organisms, but also because coloured compounds reduce water transparency, which, in turn, affects photosynthetic activity, thus causing severe damage to the ecosystems.

Group A Fitness App Usage Academic Essay Fitness in today’s culture is affected in many different ways, one of the main in which it is influenced is through the form of media. The term fitness holds two meanings: first is the condition of the physicality of being fit and healthy and the other, the ability of being physically suited to fulfill given tasks or roles(Google Dictionary. 2013). For example fitness to a marathon runner would be determined on their stamina and the duration it takes to run a certain number of miles, whereas a body builder’s level of fitness would determine on their level of muscular strength and power. Once the term fitness has been defined, then the impact which media has on fitness must be analyzed.

...singapore airlines annual report 2009/2010 Singapore Airlines achieved a net profit attributable to equity holders of S$216 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2010. During the first half of the year, demand for air travel declined due to the global economic slowdown as well as the outbreak of Influenza A (H1N1). The Group recorded a net loss attributable to equity holders of S$466 million for the first half of the financial year. Despite the difficult times, the Airline did not lose sight of its commitment to delivering product and service innovation. Singapore Airlines continued to invest in its long-term future by flying its flagship aircraft, the Airbus A380, to more destinations, rolling out a cabin renewal programme for selected Boeing 777 aircraft, and opening a new service centre in the heart of Singapore’s premier shopping belt. Market conditions gradually improved in the second half of the financial year. Reflecting this, the Airline recorded higher passenger and cargo traffic. Together with the S$404 million net profit in the third quarter, the fourth quarter net profit of S$278 million reversed the S$466 million loss recorded in the first half of the financial year. The business outlook for the Group in FY 2010-2011 is encouraging, although the sustainability of the recovery depends on developments in the world economy and on business and consumer confidence. The Airline plans to increase capacity in a measured manner in the new financial year. This...
