2. You are given the following information for the commodity market, in which taxes, planned investment, government spending on goods and services, and net exports are autonomous, but consumption and planned investment change as the interest rate changes:
Ca = 2,180 – 20r c = 0.6 Ip = 2,400 – 60r G = 2,000 NX = -300T = 1,800
The money market is described in problem 1.
(a) Compute the values of the marginal propensity to save, s, and the multiplier, k.(b) Derive the equation for the autonomous planned spending, Ap.(c) Derive the equation for the IS curve, Y = kAp, and graph the IS curve when the interest rate equals 4.7, 5.0, 5.3, 5.6, 5.9.(d) Using your answers to part c of problem q and part c of this problem, explain what interest rate and at which level of real income the commodity and money markets are both in equilibrium.(e) In the first half of 2003, the Fed changed monetary policy because unemployment was too high and it feared any additional decline in the rate of inflation would result in deflation. Suppose that natural real GDP equals $12,060 and the equilibrium in part c is similar to economic conditions in the first half of 2003. Using your answers to parts d or e of problem 1 and part c of this problem, explain how the Fed should change the real money supply in order to move real income to natural real GDP in an effort to reduce unemployment and avoid further reduction in the inflation rate

CANYON KITE MANUFACTURING CO.
The accountant at Canyon Kites has always prepared a budget that is calculated using only one estimated volume of sales. He has asked you to help him set up a spreadsheet that can be used for sensitivity analysis in the budgeting process. This year it appears that the company may not meet expectations, which could result in a loss. He is concerned that the company will incur a loss again next year and wants to develop a budget that will easily reflect changes in the assumptions.

Answer the question to Step 3: Supporting documents have been attached.

Must be written in an APA format in 2 paragraphs. Step 1 has been completed and using the Port of Miami.

Step 3: Identify the Scope and Level of Detail of the Visual Performance Assessment

This step may be considered an extension of the visual inventories.To address the different types of visual issues and no to identify which issues require analysis for a specific project, FHWA (1988) provided a scoping questionnaire.This tool can be used to generate data for visual performance assessments for highway and transit projects (Figure 14.5). Checklists used by the California Department of Transportation, presented in Figure 14.6, provide an example of how to decide what level of visual assessment may be required to meet federal or other jurisdictional requirements.

this is physical geography class and this is dissociation need to answer of on paragraph
——————————————————————
In Chapter 8, the concept of plate tectonics was introduced. Plate movement
leads to secondary lithospheric processes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, hot
spot activity, rifting, and sea-floor spreading that we will learn about in more detail
in Chapter 9. These processes are what we tend to consider as natural hazards,
which may result in catastrophic events termed as natural disasters. For this
discussion assignment I want you to find a current event related to one of these
lithospheric processes and explain what is/has been occurring and why (you may
have to refer to Chapter 9 to help you figure out what is the cause or trigger for
the event if it is not provided in the article). Provide a reference (including the
web address) to the article or information that you found for this current
event. Remember to paraphrase the information (i.e., provide a brief summary
of the event and its cause in your own words), and only use quotations when
absolutely necessary.
The current event can be within the last 5 years. Volcanoes and earthquakes are
activities that are most frequently in the news, but there are also some great news
articles on recent findings on sea-floor spreading and hot spot activity, so try your
best to expand your search and find something a little unique.

ESSAY QUESTION THREE

GROUND RULES: Your response to the question below should be 3-4 pages in length (double-spaced, using regular 12 point font and margins). This is an open-book take-home exam, so you should use the assigned readings and your notes to formulate your response to the question. Since this is an exam, however, you are on your honor not to discuss the content of your response with classmates. The exam is due in class on Wednesday, April 2^nd. Any exam received after class will be marked down one grade (e.g., A to A-) for each additional calendar day the exam is late. In most cases, extension of the deadline will only be granted with an appropriately documented personal or family emergency. If you anticipate a problem with the deadline, please let me know immediately.

HELPFUL HINTS: Your exam should use the ideas and events presented in the readings and in class to develop a focused and structured response to the question. Simply recounting history during relevant periods will be insufficient. You need to use that history to make broader arguments about key ideas and concepts, as dictated by the question. If you quote particular readings, you do not need to give a formal footnote, but include relevant page numbers in parentheses after the quote. Please spell-check your response and include page numbers on your document.

Please answer BOTH parts A and B of the following question in your essay:

Why is it so difficult for the two major political parties in Congress to articulate a coherent policy agenda?

Is there anything that Congressional leaders can do to make their legislative body run more efficiently?
