culturally diverse society, business and finance homework help

/in /by

We live in a very complex and culturally diverse society. When we bring individuals together from diverse backgrounds in a work environment conflict can arise when expectations are not realized or met. Rather than hoping conflict will go away, this paper will explore and identify the reasons for conflict and how to successfully address them in a team environment.

Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding title and reference pages) assessing the components of conflict. The following need to be addressed within your paper:

  1. Describe a conflict within an organization or team with which you are familiar.
  2. Identify and describe the source(s) and level of the conflict and support with evidence.
  3. Describe the steps taken to resolve the conflict or, if it is an ongoing conflict, propose steps to resolve the conflict.
  4. Describe a minimum of three conflict outcomes that could reasonably occur as a result of the conflict resolution. Support your reasoning for each possible outcome.

Your paper must use a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Consider a monopolist facing demand function Qd(p) = 120 − 2p and having cost function C(Q) = 1Q2. 4

/in /by

Instructions: Answer all questions and show your work.

Econ 160

  1. Consider a monopolist facing demand function Qd(p) = 120 − 2p and having cost function C(Q) = 1Q2. 4

    The monopolist sells all units at the same price (linear pricing).

    1. (a)  (5 points) Calculate the monopolist’s profit-maximizing price and output. Calculate the associated consumer surplus and producer surplus.

    2. (b)  (5 points) Calculate the deadweight welfare loss due to monopoly.

  2. A monopolist producer of widgets serves the US and European markets. The inverse demands in the US and Europe are each PUS(qus) = 100 − qus and PE(qe) = 80 − qe, respectively, where where qus andqe denote the sales in the US and Europe. The widget monopolist has two plants, one in Europe and one in the US. The plant in Europe has constant marginal cost equal to 10; the US plant has marginal cost function MC(Q) = Q, where Q denotes the level of production at the US plant. Suppose the monopolist’s transportation cost of shipping the widgets between the US and Europe is 5 per widget.

    1. (a)  (3 points) Calculate the socially efficient level of widget sales in the US and in Europe.

    2. (b)  (3 points) Assume resale of widgets is impossible (so arbitrage is impossible). Under third-degree price discrimination, what prices should the monopolist set in the US and in Europe to maximize profit?

    3. (c)  (3 points) Now suppose, due to a new trade agreement, resale is now possible and anyone can transport widgets between the US and Europe at a cost of 5 per widget. Under third-degree price discrimination, what prices should the monopolist set in the US and in Europe to maximize profit?

    4. (d)  (3 points) A recently graduated, recently hired MBA cannot figure out how to account for the arbitrage possible in (c), so he simply sets the same price in both markets. Given uniform pricing, what price should he set to maximize profit?

  3. A monopolist with constant marginal cost of production serves two distinct, independent constant- elasticity demand markets. In market 1 the elasticity of demand, in absolute value, is |η1| = 3 and in market 2 it is |η2| = 4. There are no other variable costs. The monopolist practices third-degree price discrimination.

    In market 1 the monopolist sets its per-unit price at pd1 = 180.

    (a) (3 points) What discriminatory price does the monopolist set in market 2?

    (b) (3 points) Calculate the monopolist’s marginal cost.

  4. Men and women have the same demands for widgets. For men the aggregate widget demand isQm(p) = 1−p for p ≤ 1 and equals 0 for p > 1. Similarly, for women aggregate widget demand isQw(p) = 1−p for p ≤ 1 and equals 0 for p > 1.

    The widget monopolist’s marginal cost of selling widgets to men is 0, but, for some unknown reason, its marginal cost of selling to women it is c ∈ [0, 1]. Because widgets are customized to the buyer, there is no possibility of arbitrage between the two groups.

    1. (a)  (3 points) If the monopolist uses third-degree price discrimination, what price does it set for widgets to men and widgets to women?

    2. (b)  (3 points) A recent court case has forced the monopolist to sell widgets to men and women at the same price (costs still differ, as described). Calculate the monopolist’s profit-maximizing uniform price. (No one can be prevented from purchasing widgets—so if a widget is offered for sale to anyone, widgets must be available to everyone, both to men and to women.)

    3. (c)  (3 points) Is social welfare higher under uniform pricing or under third-degree discrimination? Ex- plain.

In your opinion, how effective are U.S. fusion centers? Explain., DB Unit 2 385

/in /by

In the wake of the terrorist attacks in September 2001, the 9/11 Commission recommended that the U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) find a way to improve information sharing of terrorism-related intelligence at all three levels of government (local, state, and federal). The USIC’s answer to this recommendation was the creation of intelligence fusion centers.

Since the creation of these intelligence fusion centers, there has been much controversy because of the large amounts of personal information secretly collected and shared within the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities. In addition, some critics argue that in the years since their creation, fusion centers and the law enforcement entities affiliated with them have moved away from their original purpose and instead have utilized federal grants and resources to fight local crime.

Assignment Guidelines

  • In 5–6 paragraphs, address the following:
    • In your opinion, how effective are U.S. fusion centers? Explain.
    • Do you feel that the creation of fusion centers has improved information sharing of terrorism-related information at all three levels of government? Why or why not?
    • Do you feel that fusion centers have ultimately moved away from their intended purpose? Why or why not?
    • Are fusion centers now being used as a local law enforcement tool to help fight local crime? Why or why not?
  • Post a new topic to the Discussion Board that contains your responses to the above questions.
  • Comment on at least 2 other students’ posts.

  • Should the federal government provide any support/assistance for a specific company and/or industry in the U.S.? Explain.

There is a requirement of two postings minimum for each student. However, to receive full credit students must exceed the minimum. The comments must be substantive. Refrain from short postings such as “I agree’, “it is a good idea”, etc. You must clearly explain your position. There must be posting for both weeks of the module. I’m most interested in your personal opinion, but if you use some information from outside sources, you must provide references for those sources.

MY classmate’s discussion :

  • Should the federal government provide any support/assistance for a specific company and/or industry in the U.S.? Explain.

1.I think that the federal government should only intervene to provide support if the company has a significant impact on the economy and jobs making it too big to fail. It would be a disaster to let companies like the auto industry which contribute significantly to the economy fail. I do think that after the government intervenes, it should assess the management and practices of a company to ensure that whatever caused the problem is fixed and the company flourishes. Companies that are just irresponsible or have poor leadership and corrupt practices do not deserve government support. They need to fail so that possibly better companies can take their place and help to grow the economy. I think the government’s role should be to protect the population and promote anything that boosts the economy.

2.Greetings,

Yes, I think that the federal government should provide support for a specific company or industry. If an organization is providing a resource to the people and that service is a huge part of our everyday life, the government should provide support. The federal government providing support can ensure that dollars are being circulated and help the gross domestic product. I am sure that we all remember the auto industry bailout that took place some years ago. In my opinion, it was necessary for the government to get involved because of how important that industry is to the United States. If the federal government had not intervened, this disaster would have affected more than just the auto industry. It would have eventually trickled down to the every company that has anything to do with that industry such as dealerships, manufacturers etc. Also, small businesses benefit from government assistance through grants which may be somewhat different than the government providing assistance to a specific industry. Some industries need support as a means of a having a competitive strategic advantage and to help economic development.
