Question   4. A consumer suddenly realizes that \( M U_{x} / P_{x}<M U_{y} / P_{y} \) with his current commodity bundle. Is he maximizing his utility? If not, which commodity should he consume more of , to improve utility, without increasing total expenditure? What happens to the MU/P ratio for each good as he begins to adjust consumption?

I only need questions E, F and G. 1. Assume that the United States economy is currently in a short-run equilibrium with the actual unemployment rate above the natural rate of unemployment. (a) Draw a single correctly labeled graph with both the long-run Phillips curve and short-run Phillips curve. Label the current short-run equilibrium point P. 6) Assuming no policy actions are taken, will the short-run Phillips curve shift to the right (upward), shift to the left (downward), or remain the same in the long run? Explain. (c) If the Federal Reserve Bank wants to lower unemployment, what expansionary open-market operation should it use? (d) How will the open-market operation you identified in part (c) affect each of the following? (1) Federal funds rate. Explain. (ii) Real interest rate in the short run. (e) Given your answer in part (d)(ii), what is the effect on real gross domestic product (GDP) in the short run? Explain. (6) Japan and the United States are major trading partners. Indicate how the change in real GDP you identified in part (e) will affect the demand for the Japanese yen in the foreign exchange market. (g) Draw a correctly labeled graph of the foreign exchange market for the Japanese yen, showing the effect of the change in demand identified in part (f) on the value of the Japanese yen relative to the United States dollar.

The tables can be processed by CAD software to derive an efficient gate structurc of the design. None of Verilog's predefined primitives describes sequential logic. The model of a sequential UDP requires that its output be declared as a reg data type, and that a column be added to the truth table to describe the next state. So the columns are organized as inputs: state: next state.

Please help solving problem 1,2 and 3. Thank you very much. For questions 1 - 3, consider the following test results obtained for a surface water sample. lon Concentration (ppm) Ca2+ 36.0 Mg2+ 10.8 Na 12.4 K 5.9 нсоз" 82.1 SO42 32.0 CI 16.9 NO3 7.4 1. Check the accuracy of the analytical measurements. Do you suspect that a constituent of significance has been neglected? If so, is it a cation or an anion? 2. Determine the mole fraction of calcium, magnesium, and sulfate for the water sample given above. 3. Determine this water's hardness and alkalinity in mg/L as CaCO3.

Die-rolling experiment: 1) Acquire any "fair-enough" die. 2) Roll it at least 100 times (each person for themselves). 3) Note what the outcome is overy time. 4) For each group of 5 (go consecutively, i.e. group first five rolls, then the next five rolls, etc.), take the average of the 5 rolls. For example, if the first five rolls are \( 3,6,1 \), 5 , and 3 , Die-rolling experiment: 1) Acquire any "fair-enough" die. 2) Roll it at least 100 times (each person for themselves). 3) Note what the outcome is overy time. 4) For each group of 5 (go consecutively, i.e. group first five rolls, then the next five rolls, etc.), take the average of the 5 rolls. For example, if the first five rolls are \( 3,6,1 \), 5 , and 3 , the average will be \( 18 / 5=3.6 \). 5) You will end up with at least 20 averages. Plot these averages on a \( 2 \mathrm{D} \) column graph. Alternatively, you can do a histogram of your results, which will be a fancier way of doing a 2D column graph. With a histogram though, you can control the bin size and instead of each individual average (e.g. 3.2, 3.4. 3.6, etc.). you can group them together with a bin size of 1 . Bonus credits will be assigned to those showing their results with a histogram of bin size 1 in addition to their regular \( 2 \mathrm{D} \) column graphs. 6) All the probabilities of \( 1,2,3,4,5 \) and 6 are \( 1 / 6 \) with a fair die. Therefore, the probabilities are said to be "uniformly distributed". Then, why is your \( 2 D \) column graph / histogram not looking uniform at all? Speculate / comment on the rationale for this.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding Kepler's three laws of planetary motion? Angular momentum of any planet about an axis through the Sun and perpendicular to the orbital plane is not invariant during its motion. Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun not being at its center. Orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to Which of the following statements is correct regarding Kepler's three laws of planetary motion? Angular momentum of any planet about an axis through the Sun and perpendicular to the orbital plane is not invariant during its motion. Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun not being at its center. Orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to its distance from the sun. Kepler's laws are valid only for planets in the solar system.
