need explanation and answer for the discussion.

Refer to text, Ch. 7, Fig. 7.4 and Example 7.4 – ‘The Effect of Effluent Fees on Input Choices’.

How should the manager of a steel plant respond to an EPA-imposed effluent fee of $10 per gallon of wastewater dumped in the river?

2. Using the resources provided in this workshop along with your own independent research, develop a poster that discusses a supply and demand issue in the healthcare setting. Feel free to use the tool(s) in the resources listed above.
3. Navigate to the threaded discussion and post your poster with your comments explaining the importance of the poster and your rationale for selecting the information in your work.

1. Review the following resources:
   1. Article: Medical Labour Supply and the Production of Healthcare(new tab)
   2. Article: Supply and Demand Shocks in Health Care due to COVID-19: Part 1 – Hospitals(new tab)
2. Conduct your own research to support your writing. You should include a minimum of three scholarly resources in your work.
3. In a Word document (minimum 2,000 words), please address the following: 
   1. Discuss how supply and demand varies by areas in the chosen industry.
   2. Explain how supply and demand affect trends over time.
   3. Consider what industry supply and demand problem has improved or worsened over time.
   4. Discuss strategies for improving problem areas in the industry.
   5. Include your poster from the 2.2 Discussion as an appendix for this part of the case.

2. During the improving economic conditions of

2015 and early 2016 much additional construction of homes and condos throughout

much of the U.S. took place. This provided a significant increase in the income

of workers in the construction trades.

Many of the construction workers were immigrants and have family and

relatives in other countries. Often these workers would send part of their

income to their less fortunate relatives in their old country, especially in

Mexico and some of the South American countries.

a. Which of the economic principles best describes this situation?

b. Using the principle you have selected, describe the chain of events

that best explains how the increased money sent to families in these South

American countries will cycle through the economy of that country and what

overall affect it will have within the economy.

please respond in 50 words each to each discussion below saying why you agree. please no citations thank you!

1. The tax reduces both consumer surplus, producer surplus; therefore, the total surplus will also decrease. A tax reduces the quantity traded, thereby reducing some of the gains from trade. Consumer surplus falls because the price to the buyer rises, and producer surplus (profit) falls because the price to the seller falls. The fall in total surplus (consumer surplus, producer surplus, and tax revenue) is called the deadweight loss (DWL) of the tax. A tax has a DWL because it causes consumers to buy less and producers to sell less, thus shrinking the market below the level that maximizes total surplus. 2. Both the retailer and producer surpluses are reduced by taxes. This is due to the fact that tax imposes an additional burden on both the customer and the manufacturer. As a result, net surplus decreases since both the buyer and the manufacturer bear a tax load. Deadweight loss is the term used to describe the loss. Taxation’s effect on market surplus: The average amount charged for a product would rise as a result of the imposition of a tariff, meaning an increase in the real price. The real price could be higher than the consumer price in this situation, resulting in a negative consumer surplus. Demand for the good falls at higher price levels, resulting in a decrease in market surplus. Producer surplus is reduced when a tax is levied on a certain good and there is a fall in quantity sold when a tax is imposed because the overall price of the good increases with a levy. No matter where tax incidence is imposed, the effect of tax on overall surplus is limited.

I need help making one slide explaining the IRR analysis for the case study that I attached. I also attached the final paper for the project so it can guide you well. another slide will be about written conclusion for the case summary. total of 2 slides are needed.

Read the article above and based on your reading and your knowledge gained from this course, provide the following in the sequence indicated:

• Clearly state the issue and briefly describe the most important factors to be examined in this decision. Explain why you are focused on these particular factors – why do you think they are the most important things to consider?
• Present your evidence supporting both sides of the issue and provide the citations necessary so that your reader can return to your source material to verify your findings. Do not ‘cut and paste’ – present these arguments in your own words. Clearly identify any positive evidence you find and distinguish that from any normative evidence. (For an explanation of positive vs. normative evidence, see this video from Khan Academy (Links to an external site.)).
• Identify the assumptions made in the arguments made on both sides of the issue – for example, why might someone argue that the demand for entry-level fast-food workers is inelastic? Do you identify any biases in your evidence?
• Given all the above, what is your position on raising the minimum wage to $15 nationwide? Do not limit yourself to saying, ‘I support/don’t support this policy proposal.’ Rather, explain and defend your position, adding any caveats or other considerations to your answer. This is also a chance to be creative – do you have a proposal of your own that addresses some or all of the concerns of both sides?

Create a simulated company that meets the following criteria:

Then discuss your plans to build a derivative management program for a firm and describe the progress you have made and any problems you have encountered.
