In 1949 the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec, built a hospital for about $500 000. In 1987 the city restored its courthouse for about $2.4 million. A price index for nonresidential construction was 14 in 1949, 92 in 1987, and 114.5 in 2000. According to these numbers, what did the hospital cost approximately?
In 1987, Florida became a “shall issue” concealed carry state, which opened a floodgate of states who adopted similar laws. Currently, all 50 states allow some form of concealed carry. This has brought attention to many theories of self-defense and defense of others.
Please discuss the following:
In 1943, Abraham Maslow proposed a theory of motivation referred to as the hierarchy of needs. Levels 1-4 of the hierarchy pertain to achieving “deficit” human needs such as food, water, shelter, financial security, love, and respect. Maslow argues that when all of “deficit” needs are met, humans become motivated to pursue self-actualization (i.e., fulfillment of one’s potential), which is considered a “being” need. In the quote above, Maslow refers to achieving self-actualization through education. Certainly, your motivation to obtain a degree may come from the intrinsic motivation to fulfill your potential or to expand your knowledge in a subject that interests you. However, unless you are independently wealthy, you probably have more practical reasons for pursuing a degree. For example, you might be extrinsically motivated to obtain a degree because you know it will lead to a promotion and better pay, which would help you meet the “deficit” needs in Maslow’s hierarchy.
In this discussion, you will examine your motivations for pursuing a degree, based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and other theories of motivation. As you do so, keep in mind that human motivation is culturally bound, therefore, it can be difficult to generalize theories of motivation across cultures.
Post a response to the following:
Describe motivational factors that led you to enroll at Walden and that keep you enrolled. Then explain how these motivational factors might change as you progress from your first days at Walden to your first or second year. Finally, identify at least one intrinsic and one extrinsic motivation that could help keep you motivated to complete your degree. Be sure to address what role culture plays in your motivation to complete your degree.
In 1986 Murrandoo, a successful property developer, needed finance for a new property development on the Gold Coast. He approached his bank and was told by the branch manager of the bank that a loan could be arranged in a foreign currency at a low rate of interest if he was interested. At a later meeting, another bank officer spoke about the advantages of such a loan against the Australian dollar, which was strong at that time.
As a result of these conversations, Murrandoo borrowed the equivalent of A$1million in Japanese yen. At the time of the loan, the exchange rate for the Australian dollar against yen was 1:130. Over the next few years, the values of the Australian dollar fell against the yen to 1:65, effectively doubling his debt to the bank.
Has Murrandoo any recourse against the bank under the Trade Practices Act?

In 1983, a random sample of 1000 scientists included 212 female scientists. A similar random sample of scientists in 1990 included 272 women. Do these figures indicate an increase in the population proportion of scientists who are women?Hint: Construct the 95% CI for the difference in proportions and examine whether that CI contains zero.that CI contains zero.
In 1980 when Polish people had to stand in long lines to get goods, the government ruled that every third place in line be reserved to pregnant women. what happened to the number of pregnant women in lines? What happened to the number of pregnant women in Poland?
In 1979 the median household in the U.S. earned $15,620 and by 2015 this was $76,800 (both of these values are nominal). As we’re looking at the median household, these numbers are representative of the typical American household as median means middle — that is, in 1979 half of all households earned more than $15,620 and half earned less (and the same holds for the 2015 value). These numbers include federal taxes as well as federal benefits. The CPI in 1979 was 72.6 and in 2015 it was 237. On average, how much did real median income grow per year over these years?
We’ll be using this result in class.
Finally, for this and the following short-answer questions, please fully explain your answer and show all computations.
in 1976, the parents of a seven year old boy sued a New York hospital for $3.5 million. the boy was blinded shortly after he was born two weeks premature. his parents claimed that hospital doctors administered excessive oxygen to the baby and that this caused the blindness. the case went to trialand just as the jusry announced it had reached a verdict, the lawyers for the two sides arrived at an out of court settlement of $500,000.a.if you were the parents, how would you decide wether to accept the settlement or wait for the jury’s decision?? what probability assessments would you need to make?? would you have accepted the settlement??b.answers the questions in part (a) but taking the hospital’s point of view.
In 1998, the Syndicated Bank Loan market (defined as loans having more than two bank lenders) was a vast and cheap source of debt financing for U.S. corporations. This market was characterized by a large number of financial institutions that aggressively committed capital to debt issuers as a way to build market share and increase earnings. Over the next three years, however, syndicated loan prices increased dramatically while the quantity of these loans declined. The price increase, measured as a markup over the cost of funds or LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), is illustrated in the figure labeled “All-In Drawn Pricing.” For example, the price to BBB rated companies rose from 37.5 basis points in 1998 to approximately 129 basis points in 2002. This is a 244% increase in the price or spread. Explain these changes using shifts in demand and/or supply.
