To complete the performance analysis as it will score 3 different categories: (1) capability, (2) motivation, and (3) support system. That is done by assigning a number (1-10) for each factor and then multiplying them. One (1) is the lowest score where work is needed to improve and Ten (10) is the highest number where you have excelled.
Capability Score. Assign a number between 1 and 10. Explain and elaborate on how…
Directions: Each student will be responsible for responding to prompts for a particular set of readings. This response must be a 1-2 page response, typed, double-spaced. Students will come prepared to class to discuss their prompts, and will help provide discussion and conversation over the prompts. Directed Reading Responses will count toward 15% of the total grade. The questions below correspond to Chapter seven of Race in America. Please respond to one of the questions below: 1. Desmond and Emirbayer provide a good discussion of how early American educational systems were essentially an indoctrination into “whiteness” and white supremacy. Write a response that discusses one of the examples they provide as evidence of early American education as indoctrination into “whiteness.” 2. Desmond and Emirbayer also discuss several ways that “whiteness” finds its way into educational curriculums and onto…
SurveyDonkey.com studied North Carolina cities to determine the best place to live in the state. The study considered five criteria: Odds of Being a Victim of a Violent Crime; Commute Time; Average Income; the percentage of Residents Who Attended College; and the number of Restaurants per Person. Based on these criteria, SurveyDonkey determined that the best city to live in in North Carolina is Mooresville. According to the study, “the low crime rate combined with the moderate commute time puts Mooresville at the top of our list.”
Explain whether it is A Good Thing or A Bad Thing for current residents of Mooresville that the town has been named the best place to live in North Carolina. Your explanation should incorporate one or more of the concepts we have introduced since the third test. Only explanations using one or more of these concepts can receive any credit

- Gerry likes driving small cars and buys nearly identical ones whenever the old one needs replacing. Typically, he trades in his old car for a new one costing about $15 000. A new car warranty covers all repair costs above standard maintenance (standard maintenance costs are constant over the life of the car) for the first two years. After that, his records show an average repair expense (over standard maintenance) of $2500 in the third year (at the end of the year), increasing by 50% per year thereafter. If a 30% declining balance depreciation rate is used, and interest is 8%, how often should Gerry get a new car?arrow_forwardCountry A is made up of 150 individuals, all forming part of the working-age population. Workers and owners in this labour market split the average product of labour according to a 60:40 ratio (workers getting 60% of the average product of labour). Each worker produces 3 units per time period, there are 30 owners in the labour market, and 80% of the labour force is currently employed. You may assume that owners are the only individuals who are not in the labour force. Use this information to answer the following questions. Calculate the unemployment rate in this labour market. Calculate the labour force participation rate. P Using the equation =λ- λu, calculate and interpret the real wage received by the workers in this labour market.

- Introduction There are many aspects regarding the Chinese automobile industry in Egypt regarding how it mirrors on customer satisfaction, despite common believes China has been producing cars before the Koreans for almost over 50 years. The very first Chinese car was a poor copy of what European, American and Japanese manufacturers produce. It wasn’t designed with the anxiety of comfort, security nor style; it was more like wheeled boxes made of light steel, with a primitive petrol engine. After 20 years, Chinese automobile industry has finally become one of largest market in automobile market. The major advantage that Chinese cars have is its low pricing compared to other cars from western auto giants such as Germany and France, which is a satisfactory advantage to most of the Egyptians. – Besides the fact that Chinese cars are of lower prices, there are other factors that consumers look for in a car; this research measures weather Chinese cars meets the customers perceived…arrow_forwardCINESA, a government-owned power company that normally uses natural gas for electricity generation, is purchasing fuels other than natural gas and power from a commercially built wind farm, often at extra costs, which are transferred to the customer. Total monthly fuel and wind-power costs are now averaging $6,800,000. An engineer with the utility has calculated the average revenue for the past 24 months using three fuel-mix and wind-power situations: all gas, < 30% other or wind, and ≥ 30% other or wind. The table below shows the number of months for each situation and the associated revenue. If the same situation persists for the next 2 years, determine whether the utility’s revenue will be greater or less than the costs and by how much. Fuel/Wind Situation Months in Past 24 Average Revenue, $/Month All gas 12 $5,270,000 < 30% other/wind 9 $7,850,000 ≥ 30% other/wind 3 $12,130,000arrow_forwardOnce your producers understand the “I WANT $3” game, you will present the “I WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE” game. Its rules are: There are two contestants/opponents (who do not know each other and cannot communicate with each other during the game). Each player is given $1 million at the start of the game. Independently and simultaneously, each player must choose to add to their award $0, $1, $2, $3, $4, ……$999,999, or $1,000,000. Doing so decreases the other player’s award by twice that amount. Each player ends the game with a payoff based on their initial one million, the additional amount that they announced, and the reduction due to the opponent’s announcement. The game matrix for this expanded game has 1,000,001 rows, 1,000,001 columns, and 1,000,002,000,001 pairs of payoffs. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT DRAW IT!

He can either search for a potential employee himself or hire a head-hunter firm to find the employee for him. If he searches himself, there is a 30% chance of not hiring the right person for the job. In contrast, the head- hunter will always find the right match. If the right person is not found for the job, the value of the programming is only RM5,000 compared to RM40,000 for the right person. Paul's risk aversion is represented by a logarithmic utility function. What is the maximum amount Paul would be willing to pay the head-hunter?
