In this question you will compute PPP exchange rates using prices off the internet. We begin by using Amazon’s various country-specific sites. Begin by choosing an objectt hat is sold in identical (or near-identical) form at both Amazon’s US website as well as another Amazon country site. 1 Denote the US Amazon price of the object you chose by Pus and denote the price of the object on the other Amazon country-specific website as Po (note that this should be denominated in units of the country’s currency).

(a) Compute the PPP rate between the other currency and the US dollar as P =Po/Pus and compare this to the official exchange rate.

(b) In this part find the prices of a service (e.g. a haircut or the price of housing) or more generally an object that is not freely traded on world markets in both the US and the country you picked above. Compute the PPP rate as you did in (2a) above and compare the two answers. Is this what you might expect?

HIS105 Getting Women the Vote – Two Strategies

/in /by

Can you help me understand this History question?

TOPIC CHOICE TWO: Getting Women the Vote – Two Strategies

Here you will focus on the approaches of two organizations and some names associated with each. These are the NAWSA (National American Woman Suffrage Association; later the League of Women Voters) and the NWP (National Women’s Party). You will identify the strategic approach and key players in each as they pursued the common goal of getting women the right to vote. One might find virtues, problems and successes associated with both strategies. You might see elements of each in strategies of later leaders and related issues even today.

Be typed, double spaced between lines, using Times New Roman font, Calibri, Arial, or Courier (size 10, 11, or 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. You must have a Sources list at the end; each source listed must also be cited in the body of the paper with an in-text citation.

Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the Sources page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The body of the paper should be five paragraphs and a total of 500-to-800 words in length. The 500 minimum is firm; you really have not adequately developed the paper if less than that. The 800 maximum is a loose guideline. The body of the paper is to be double-spaced. Typically, if you follow these instructions, the body of your paper will be 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 pages in length; add a page for your title page and another for your sources list and that then gets to 4-1/2-to 5-1/2. But the length requirement is evaluated by word count.

Introduction

In your introduction section, be concise but include the information listed by the two bullets below. Your introduction should be one paragraph in length:

  • Identify the two different approaches that you will discuss—including people, organizations, and strategies.
  • Describe what you will cover in the paper.

HISTORY AND ISSUES

In two paragraphs, describe briefly the development of each view or strategy, any key people or events, and any “success” either side had in seeing that view come to pass.

COMPARISON

In your comparison paragraph, evaluate what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of each view, and the impact of each in that period of history. Explain which approach you favor and why.

CONCLUSION

In your conclusion paragraph, identify similar issues or approaches that developed later, and any similar issues today.

I need some assistance with these assignment. market entry strategies for a fast food company Thank you in advance for the help! However, studies shows that the importance of taking into consideration the context of market entry constituted by the host countries’ institutions. The institutional context involves both informal institutions such as norms and culture and formal institutions such as laws and regulations. Collectively these institutions formulate the “rules of the game” in society, thereby constraining and enabling firm behavior and foreign market entry strategies. However, entry to a foreign market comes at a cost due to challenges posed by the institutional contexts of emerging market, which are often less familiar to developed country firms, weaker and less market-supporting and less stable. The four most common modes of foreign market entry are licensing/franchising, exporting, and joint venture and Greenfield acquisitions. Therefore, this paper will analyze McDonald’s market expansion for its products in the emerging market of China. The paper will consist of two sections: the first section will be a market analysis of China and the second section will be an exploration of potential market entry strategies by McDonalds.

/in /by

I’m studying for my Economics class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

This assignment can be completed after completing chapter 1 of your textbook and reading the documents provided for you in assignment section 1. The problem you will solve is described below, after the assignment overview, and involves using soldier fatality data to determine an intervention strategy.

Writing Requirements

This assignment is the first of four steps in completing the military memorandum. This assignment will require you to articulate an understanding of the problem and the audience, by answering the questions about the problem below. Then you will demonstrate an ability to solve, understand, and explain a statistical problem in language appropriate to the professional status and background of the audience you are addressing by completing a draft of your military memorandum. To understand what you are expected to do in the memorandum review the Military Memorandum Guide. You may also want to look at the rubric on assignment 1.4 to see how the final assignment in this memorandum series will be graded. The linked Military Memorandum Pre-writing Example provides an illustration of how the assignment should be laid out.

However, it is the document on which you will get feedback from your classmates, so you should produce your best work, in order to get the best possible feedback. Be sure to look at the assignment rubric to assure that you have completed the required elements prior to turning in the assignment,

Problem Definition Questions

Read the problem description at the bottom of this assignment. Then, cut and paste each question below into your assignment and provide the answers below each question. These answers will be located on a separate page before the memorandum. This page will NOT be included in the final memorandum.

  1. What problem you have been asked to address? While you are using statistics to support a particular answer, the question you are being asked to address is not a formula or a description of the calculations you will complete. You need to describe the problem you are being asked to solve in plain language.
  2. How can the data provided inform an intervention recommendation?
  3. What is the outcome you are supposed to provide in this memorandum?
  4. a) To whom have you been asked to address this memorandum (find the name of the CURRENT person holding the job and their official title)? b) What is this person likely to need from you? (You may need to do a quick internet search of this role.)
  5. a) Who will you be copying this memorandum to (they are a secondary audience). b) What are the addressees likely to need from reading the memorandum? (This is a critical thinking exercise, so research what the addressees’ responsibilities are and use that to think about what they need to know from you).

Problem Description:

The United States military has been involved as a peace-keeping force in a humanitarian effort to prevent further genocide in the country of Lorian. Many soldiers have died in this effort. The government has recently approved the use of emergency funds to reduce the loss of soldiers’ lives, but funding will only support one initiative. The officer in charge of the theater of operations, your commanding officer, has asked you, a military engineer, rank of Lieutenant, to evaluate the situation and recommend a course of action to reduce the number of soldier fatalities and enable the peace-keeping force to remain in place. Analyze the provided data regarding soldier fatalities in a one-month period and make a recommendation regarding what the government and military should do.

Audience: Any time you prepare a professional document, you should consider the audience (Links to an external site.)that you are writing the document for. You should tailor the content, language, tone, and structure of the document to the audience you are addressing. This document is being prepared for senior-level government and military members. Ask yourself what they can be reasonably expected to know about this topic, and what they need to know to make an informed decision. Address the memorandum to The Current United States Secretary of Defense (Find the current Secretary of Defense’s name and title).

Provide carbon copies (cc)’s to:

  • The House of Representatives Defense Subcommittee
  • The United States Senate Defense Subcommittee

Tone: The Audience for this document requires that the style (Links to an external site.) is precise and professional.

Data: The attached data spreadsheet documents the causes of the deaths of soldiers who died in the most recent full month. Each number on the attached spreadsheet identifies the cause of the death of one soldier who died in that month. The cause of death represented by each number is identified in the table below. Use the data from the entire month in your calculations.

History of Medicine Questions

/in /by

I’m working on a History question and need guidance to help me study.

Hi. These are the questions that I need answers for. All of the questions should be answered using the sources provided. Thanks!

  1. Before the discovery of cholera’s pathogen by Robert Koch, how did John Snow explain the pathology of cholera in “The Principles on Which the Treatment of Cholera Should Be Based”? What were the contemporary oppositions regarding the etiology of cholera and its treatment against Snow’s finding?
  2. In Clendening’s “XXVII: Smallpox,” why would the contemporaries consider vaccination to be more superior to inoculation? In your opinion, what convinced Lady Mary Montagu the most to adopt inoculation on her child? Were her reasons scientific? Why or why not? In Edward Jenner’s account, how was Variolae Vaccinae transmitted? Can you find something in common among the patients in Jenner’s cases, in terms of their social background? Compare and contrast the experiments that Jenner and Benjamin Waterhouse conducted respectively. What were the similarities and differences between their experiments?
  3. What is the main argument in Leung’s “Variolation and Vaccination in Late Imperial China, ca. 1570-1911”? According to the author, how did the Chinese practitioners preserved or appropriate traditional rituals in Chinese medicine, when practicing vaccination? What were the reasons facilitated the rapid acceptance of vaccination by the Chinese society, especially in Southern China? Based on the evidence and argument, which line of scholarship do you think this article fit into?

Injury and Illness Prevention Program

/in /by

I’m studying for my Environmental Science class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Students, there’s a background to these resources. In 2010, OSHA began stakeholder meetings in order to begin the process to develop an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) proposed rule. Based on OSHA’s experience, the agency believed that an I2P2 rule would include the following elements:
1. Management duties (including items such as establishing a policy, setting goals, planning and allocating resources, and assigning and communicating roles and responsibilities);
2. Employee participation (including items such as involving employees in establishing, maintaining and evaluating the program, employee access to safety and health information, and employee role in incident investigations);
3. Hazard identification and assessment (including items such as what hazards must be identified, information gathering, workplace inspections, incident investigations, hazards associated with changes in the workplace, emergency hazards, hazard assessment and prioritization, and hazard identification tools);
4. Hazard prevention and control (including items such as what hazards must be controlled, hazard control priorities, and the effectiveness of the controls);
5. Education and training (including items such as content of training, relationship to other OSHA training requirements, and periodic training); and
6. Program evaluation and improvement (including items such as monitoring performance, correcting program deficiencies, and improving program performance).

An outline of the purpose and benefits of an overall I2P2 are detailed in OSHA’s document at https://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/safetyhealth/OSHAwhite-paper-january2012sm.pdf (Links to an external site.) and https://www.osha.gov/dsg/InjuryIllnessPreventionProgramsWhitePaper.html (Links to an external site.)

This proposed OSHA regulation would then REQUIRE all employers to have an overall safety and health program. OSHA never finalized the proposed rule. However, California, Hawaii, and Washington all have state requirements for companies to have an I2P2, and other states provide for workers’ compensation incentives.

In its place, OSHA has developed these guidelines, including the Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs.

So, do we think that OSHA should require any of these components, like Cal/OSHA does?
