Your job will be to first do some online research on magazine photos and exhibits of photos of Audrey Hepburn and her rise to fame as not only a star but a Hollywood and fashion icon. It might be useful to watch one of her films—I suggest Breakfast at Tiffany’s but perhaps you might prefer a different film. Pay attention to the image of womanhood she conveyed. Then compare..

Case: Uber and the Sharing Economy: Global Market Expansion and Reception
1. How is the sharing economy characterized? What challenges does this economic model face? Is this economic model available alternative to or significant attention of capitalism? Can sharing economies go global?
2. What are uber’s core competencies? How does this answer matter to the sharing economy?
3. What challenges does Uber face during global expansion? Is Uber’s business vulnerable since is easy for others such as DiDi Kuaidi in China and Ola in India to imitate? Can Uber overcome the challenges from foreign governments? Should it try to collaborate with these foreign governments? If so, how? What are the pros and cons of doing so? What strategies should Uber implement to expand globally?
4. Due to the furious competition from rivals in global markets (China, India or Southeast Asia). Should Uber leave these markets and focus only on the US market? What are the pros and cons of Uber choice?

301) Eileen is a hard-working college sophomore. One Tuesday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 250 practice problems for her physics course. She starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of her progress throughout the day. She notices that as she gets tired, it takes her longer to solve each problem.
| Time | Total Problems Answered |
| 8:00 AM | 0 |
| 9:00 AM | 100 |
| 10:00 AM | 175 |
| 11:00 AM | 225 |
| Noon | 250 |
Use the table to answer the following questions.
The marginal, or additional, gain from Eileen’s second hour of work, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, is
problems.
The marginal gain from Eileen’s fourth hour of work, from 11:00 AM to noon, is
problems.
Later, the teaching assistant in Eileen’s physics course gives her some advice. “Based on past experience,” the teaching assistant says, “working on 87.5 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour.” For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading.
Given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading?
0 hours working on problems, 4 hours reading
1 hour working on problems, 3 hours reading
2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading
4 hours working on problems, 0 hours reading
2) Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $102 for the skirt:
| Store | Travel Time Each Way | Price of a Skirt |
| (Minutes) | (Dollars per skirt) | |
| Local Department Store | 15 | 102 |
| Across Town | 30 | 85 |
| Neighboring City | 60 | 76 |
Juanita makes $42 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $42 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita’s time and the total cost of shopping at each location.
| Store | Opportunity Cost of Time | Price of a Skirt | Total Cost |
| (Dollars) | (Dollars per skirt) | (Dollars) | |
| Local Department Store | 102 | ||
| Across Town | 85 | ||
| Neighboring City | 76 |
Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the skirt into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the skirt if she buys it from the .
3) The Social Security system provides income for people over age 65. If a recipient of Social Security decides to work and earn some income, the amount he receives in Social Security benefits is typically reduced.
The provision of Social Security gives people the incentive to save ________ while working. Moreover, the reduction in benefits associated with higher earnings gives people the incentive to __________ past age 65.
4) A 1996 bill reforming the federal government’s antipoverty programs limited many welfare recipients to only 2 years of benefits.
This change gives people the incentive to find a job ______ quickly than if welfare benefits lasted forever.
The loss of benefits after 2 years will result in the distribution of income becoming _______ equal. In addition, the economy will be __________ efficient because of the change in working incentives.
5) Explain whether each of the following government activities is motivated by a concern about equality or a concern about efficiency.
| Activity | Equality | Efficiency | |
| Regulating cable TV prices | |||
| Providing some poor people with vouchers that can be used to buy food | |||
| Prohibiting smoking in public places | |||
| Breaking up Standard Oil (which once owned 90% of all oil refineries) into several smaller companies | |||
| Imposing higher personal income tax rates on people with higher incomes | |||
| Instituting laws against driving while intoxicated |
6) Which of the following statements support the reality that your standard of living is different from that of your parents or grandparents when they were your age? Check all that apply.
Many families have at least two cars per household, whereas having a vehicle was a luxury in the early 20th century.
A cutting-edge television comes with HD, 3D, and SmartTV technology, while your grandparents likely enjoyed a black-and-white television in the early years.
In the United States, the average person’s life expectancy was roughly 78 years old in 2010, but only 70 years old in 1960.
True or False: Labor unions are the primary reason the standard of living in the United States has changed over time.
True
False
7) During the Revolutionary War, the American colonies could not raise enough tax revenue to fully fund the war effort; to make up the difference, the colonies decided to print more money. Printing money to cover expenditures is sometimes referred to as an inflation tax.
Who is being taxed when more money is printed?
Banks only
Families of soldiers in active duty
Anyone who is holding money

I am working on part two of my paper for microeconomics. It is due this evening (11/26/17) by 9:00 MST. The document will need to be about the company of my choosing (in this case it is Netflix) and will need to discuss supply and demand along with price elasticity of demand . I am acting as a consultant for the company so it will also need to include recommendations for the company’s continued success. The paper also requires a graph (I have completed and it is attached). I am also attaching the milestone tips which provides greater detail and a document to help with elasticity of demand.
1. Study Chapters 5 and 6 of the recommended textbook.
2. Based on the materials in chapters 5 and 6, prepare a lecture in power point:
B. Your PPT should be limited to 20 slides
C. Include at least one solved problem in your PPT. Your solved problem should be one of the problems listed in either chapter 5 or chapter 6. Provide explanations of the problem you solve and discuss how you would apply the concepts in managerial decision-making.

1. Calculating inflation using a simple price index
Consider a fictional price index, the College Student Price Index (CSPI), based on a typical college student’s annual purchases. Suppose the following table
shows information on the market basket for the CSPI and the prices of each of the goods in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
The cost of each item in the basket and the total cost of the basket are shown for 2010.
Perform these same calculations for 2011 and 2012, and enter the results in the following table.
Keep the Highet: 2 / 2
2. Comparing salaries from different times
Consider golfers who led the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) in winnings at different points in time. Note that the winnings are nominal
figures (unadjusted for inflation).
To convert the original earnings of Nicklaus, Miller, and Norman, use the formula for converting dollar figures from an earlier era into today’s (year 2010)
U.S. dollars. Using those figures, fill in the following table, making sure to round your responses to the nearest U.S. dollar.
Keep the Highet: 2 / 2
3. Inflation and interest rates
The following table shows the average nominal interest rates on sixmonth
Treasury bills between 1971 and 1975, which determined the nominal
interest rate that the U.S. government paid when it issued debt in those years. The table also shows the inflation rate for the years 1971 to 1975. (All
rates are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.)
Keep the Highet: 3 / 3
4. Interest, inflation, and purchasing power
Suppose Susan is an avid reader and buys only comic books. Susan deposits $2,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%.
Assume this interest rate is fixed—that is, it won’t change over time. At the time of her deposit, a comic book is priced at $20.00.
Initially, the purchasing power of Susan’s $2,000 deposit is comic books.

Classmate’s Post below:
Language is something I think we as humans take for granted. No matter where you go or what time frame you go back to, there is some type of communication that is unique to each and every culture. Language according to our readings, is crucial for interpretation, expression, and transmission of culture. With language we are able to create and keep memories and traditions that can last so many lifetimes, even expanding into something new. There are relationships between culture and language and that is what linguistic anthropologists are here to study and try to understand it. Language is composed of many different elements including, phonology and phoneme. Phonology are the rules for forming vocal symbols. Phoneme is the category of speech sounds that keep words apart (like t, d, s). We all have learned what grammar is, and how to do it properly. They are basically the rules for making sentences. Morphemes are grammatical elements that form small units of meaning in any language. The difference between morphemes and phoneme is that morphemes are the smallest unit of meaning in a language, while phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language.
The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is a hypothesis that was first created by Edward Sapir, in 1929. His theory is that language ultimately determines perception and experience of something. An example of this theory is the way we talk about men and women. We use in our culture a very sexist vocabulary that puts men at the end of everything (fireman, policeman). It even goes as far to use the term male nurse, we don’t call women nurses, woman nurse!
