What is the bread’s contribution to GDP?

Asap..econ tutors

The following transactions occurred in a given year. Firm A manufactures leather using a

factory valued at $20,000. Suppose Firm A produced $2,000 worth of leather and incurred

the following costs: $1,000 for the salaries of workers, $100 for interest payments on a

bank loan, and taxes of $200. Firm A sold all of its leather to Firm B, which is a

manufacturer of luxury bags. Suppose Firm B produced four bags at a cost of $800 each.

The cost of each bag consisted of paying for $500 worth of raw materials, paying for the

salaries of workers for $200, and $100 in taxes. Firm B has a factory valued at $30,000.

Firm B sold to the public three of its four bags for $1,000 each. Calculate the contribution

to GDP using the following:

1) Production approach.

2) Income approach.

3) Expenditure approach

2 . Consider a two-good (A and B), two-period (year 1 and year 2) economy. In year 1, the

economy produced 10 units of A at a per unit price of $1 and 5 units of B at a per unit price

of $2. In year 2, the economy produced 15 units of A at a per unit price of $1 and 5 units

of B at a per unit price of $3. Calculate real GDP for years 1 and 2 using the following

methods:

1) Laspeyres.

2) Paasche.

3) Fisher.

4) Calculate and compare the growth rate of real GDP using the three approaches.

3. Mankiw, page 42, question 2. A farmer grows a bushel of wheat and sells it to a miller for

$1. The miller turns the wheat into flour and then sells the flour to a baker for $3. The

baker uses the flour to make bread and sells the bread to an engineer for $6. The engineer

eats the bread.

1) What is the value added by each person?

2) What is the bread’s contribution to GDP?

Mankiw, page 42, question 3. Suppose a woman marries her butler. After they are married,

her husband continues to wait on her as before, and she continues to support him as before

(but as a husband rather than an employee).

1) How does the marriage affect GDP? (Note: That is, the butler is treated as a husband,

not as an employee)

2) How should it affect GDP? (Note: That is, the butler is treated as an employee, not as

a husband)

Unit 6 Assignment-Evaluating a Play with Blocks

Assignment

Evaluating a Play Episode with Blocks

Over the past six weeks, you have considered the environmental and teacher interaction effects on a child’s ability to learn during play. Your text presents two methods of classifying the developmental stages of play. One is from Piaget’s theory and includes functional level play, constructive play, dramatic play, and games with rules. The other classification is based on Parten’s theory and includes solitary play, parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play.

For this Assignment, write an informative essay based on the course resources that evaluates the video play episode of four children playing with blocks included in the resources for this project. Support your evaluation with citations from at least three of your sources included in your reference list. Observe each of the boys playing in the block area and describe the following:

What levels of play did you observe from the “Ted” in the striped shirt; “Adam” in the Celtic shirt; “Eli” in the white shirt; and “Ben” in the gray shirt? Include also the other individual developmental skills you noticed in each child in the areas of cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language.
How was the environment or area set up to encourage play? What could you do to the environment to help facilitate enhanced play skills and other developmental skills?
As an early childhood professional, what could you have done in this classroom to help extend this child-directed activity? How could you have intervened to help promote a higher level of play and other skills for each child?
Describe any observed activities from the video that do or do not align with best practices.

Your paper should be 3-4 pages long, doubled-spaced, in a 12-point font size (Arial or Times New Roman) with one-inch margins, written in Standard American English, and APA format for citations and references. You must include a title page and a reference page (but these do not count in the 3-4 page guidelines). Finally, your essay should include a strong introduction and conclusion which connects your evaluation of the play episode with blocks to both Piaget and Parten’s theories of play.

What elements are different than for a physician office or group?

hi

Managed Care Organizations and Information Technology

The most important function of information technology (IT) for the managed care organization (MCO) is to support the business of the MCO. How the IT department aligns with the operational dynamics of the MCO is a vital management consideration. A well-functioning IT department will help the MCO reduce risk (e.g., costs). The IT department should design, implement, and operate the systems that run the MCO. Efficiency is the hallmark of a good system.

Your task as the manager of the MCO is to determine what the IT department in your organization should consist of, what its function will be, and what critical elements will be turned over to the IT department. Complete the following:

Describe the key elements of an information system for an MCO. What elements are different than for a physician office or group?
Describe the technology that you think the MCO would need to operate fully.
Propose a specific electronic health record (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR) program that is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. Describe the essential functions, costs, and projected savings for the MCO.
Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of insourcing versus outsourcing your IT needs, and make a final recommendation based on that evaluation.

Define the cost of ownership of the mobile application.
Define the benefits of ownership of the mobile application.
Predict the return on investment (ROI) of the mobile application and your suggested alternatives.
Identify risks associated with developing the mobile application.
Propose a final recommendation of whether or not the organization should develop the mobile application or one of your alternatives.
