Economics Monopoly Price Relationship to Demand Elasticity Discussion

for my Economics course and I need some help to understand this question. Recalling what you have learned about elasticity, what can you say about the connection between the price a monopolist chooses to charge and whether or not demand is elastic, unitary, or inelastic at that price? (Hint: Examine the marginal revenue curve of a monopolist. The fact that marginal revenue becomes negative at low prices implies that a portion of the demand curve cannot possibly be chosen.) Please include an example with your posting.

EDGR 506 Concordia University Portland Character and the Ethics of Leadership Case Study

Leadership Case StudyAnnabeth is frequently on her cell phone, as are most kids her age. Her teacher has warned her that if the phone comes out in class, it will be taken away. Annabeth cannot resist. The phone vibrates during class. She tries to hide it behind her books, but the teacher sees it and holds out a hand for her to give up the phone. Annabeth tries to slide it into her bag quickly, but the teacher insists. Annabeth tells the teacher it was an urgent text from her mother and that she had to check it, or her mother would be upset, but the teacher takes the phone and slides it into his desk drawer. He quickly forgets about it and moves on with class.Annabeth knows the teacher?s rule is that she cannot have the phone back until her parent comes in with her to retrieve it. She leaves class in tears, and no more is said. The next afternoon after school, Annabeth shows up parent to retrieve the phone. When the teacher opens his drawer to retrieve it, the phone is not there. You are the principal at this school and the teacher, parent, and student all come rushing into your office with emotions running high. ll three standing in your office expecting you to solve the problem, what is your next move?

Public Sector Case StudyThe U.S. military needed a way to communicate information quickly and securely in the rapidly changingenvironment of a battlefield. Wired communications, while secure and robust, had significant drawbacks.Communications lines could easily be severed and military personnel were limited to only communicating with fixedlocations. Radio and wireless communications removed the threat of cut lines, and extended the range ofcommunications, allowing military personnel to communicate with mobile units, but only to a fixed range. Stationaryinstallations were still needed as base stations, and throughput degrades the further units were from the base station.That led the military to turn to a new type of wireless networking called wireless mesh networking.Wireless mesh networks are based on a distributed network mesh topology. Each node in the network connects tomultiple nodes; each node also acts as a router for the nodes it connects to allowing traffic to hop along multiple pathsto a destination. This allows for a very robust and flexible network. The loss of one node will not hurt the network, andnodes can be added at will. Range of the total network is also massive because nodes don’t need to be close to a centralpoint. They just need one other node to function. An example of a mesh network can be seen in Figure 6-2.While a wireless mesh network solved part of the military’s requirements, security remained a major concern. Tomake sure the communications were secure the military implemented both physical and logical access controls on thenetwork.For the physical security of the communications, the military uses frequency hopping on the radios connected to thenetwork. The radios are constantly changing frequencies. This allows them to avoid jamming and eavesdropping.For logical security the mesh network relies on MAC addressing to identify all of the devices in the network. A list ofall allowed Media Access Control (MAC) addresses is generated and each device knows whom it talks to. A MACaddress can be faked, so they also utilize a shared secret style encryption key to handle security. When devices in thenetwork first link together, they will authenticate each other utilizing public key infrastructure (PKI) then develop ashared key, which will get renewed periodically to handle encryption. Now any communications between nodes can bevalidated with that key. These two network access controls methods give the military the ability to secure theirwireless communications.submit a case study on Public sector.

Cyber Practices Among Private Entities Involved in Critical Infrastructure Discussion

reply to discussionI wanted to talk about an initiative that is helping to improve cyber practices among private entities involved in critical infrastructure. Recently, at the end of March of this year, DHS?s Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) awarded $5.9 million to the Norwich University Applied Research Institutes (NUARI) for them to expand a really neat program called the Distributed Environment for Critical Infrastructure Decision-Making Exercises (DECIDE). DECIDE is platform for cyber training that is aimed at energy sector companies, specifically for practicing different simulated scenarios involving the energy sector and other ?war-game? type situations.Honestly, more development of tools like this could be super beneficial in all areas of critical infrastructure. This platform provides an excellent way to practice and learn new techniques and procedures for when crises happen. This is largely cyber-based, sure, but it can also be applied in other areas as well. Some of the situations it can simulate include limited resources, system instability, cascading failures due to the actions of operators (or just as a result of system failures for any reason), man-made issues, and other mystery errors. This program seems to provide a more advanced level of simulation that tries to hit on every issue possible, in hopes operators are able to overcome it and keep our critical infrastructure running.I am sure there are some private entities probably conducting some sort of similar scenario-based exercises, but this mega-scenario platform seems to be a great way for everyone in CIKR to keep up to date and ensure that they are indeed actually conducting these exercises and staying proficient. You can read more about DECIDE here.

DePaul University Human Development and interaction Human Development Discussion

1. Gender roles and parenting in Young adulthoodTop of FormIn regards to the article by Katz-Wise, Priess, and Hyde (2010):Bottom of Form2. Occupational goals and transitions in Young Adulthood Top of FormArnett (2015) outlined Super?s theory of the development of occupational goals. According to this theory, occupational development occurs in stages and begins at age 14. However, this theory has been critiqued for being too linear. For example, people may have multiple careers in their life and women may take time off of work to help raise their family.In addition, Johnson (2005) assessed the flux of intrinsic and extrinsic work values when individuals get married and become parents. Johnson noted that there is a bidirectional relationship between work values and family formation. Johnson claimed that individuals who value extrinsic work rewards are more likely to get married and have kids than individuals with intrinsic work values. People with low extrinsic and high extrinsic work values may enter marriage later. Additionally, marriage and parenthood may heighten extrinsic work values, particularly for men.

Determining Audit Tests Over Cash and Receivables Questions

Can you help me understand this Accounting question? 1. Henry?s Mills is responsible for preparing checks, recording cash disbursement, and preparing bank reconciliations for signet Corporation. While reconciling the October bank statement, Mills noticed that several checks would never be presented for payments, Mills prepared a check for $937 payable to himself, forged the treasurer?s signature, and cashed the checked. Mills made no entry in the accounts for this disbursement and attempted to conceal the theft by destroying the forged check and omitting the long- outstanding checks from subsequent bank reconciliations.2. Following are typical questions that might appear on an internal control questionnaire for investment in marketable securities.Is custody of investments securities maintained by an employee who does not maintain the detailed records of the securities?Are securities registered in the company name?Are investment activities reviewed by an investment committee of the board of directors?3.
