Lesson 3
Section 3: Once again there are questions listed for each of the chapters in this section.
Respond to them fully after stating the questions.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 1
The five steps for classical decision making are found on page 169, and the definition is on
page 171. In a risk environment or an uncertain environment, it may be very difficult to follow
these steps. How can a risk environment or an uncertain environment affect this process?
What is the difference between a risk environment and an uncertain environment?
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 2
In the text, there is a discussion of framing errors, confirmation errors, escalating
commitment, availability bias, representativeness bias, anchoring bias, and adjustment bias.
Briefly define each of these errors and biases and provide an example of each one (not the one
in the text). These are particularly important since they are found in all levels of an
organization.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 3
Managers are often confronted with structured problems which require programmed
decisions, and unstructured problems which require non-programmed decisions. Serious
problems may require a crisis decision which is the most serious type of non-programmed
decision.
Provide an example of a programmed and non-programmed decision which you have
encountered in your own experience. How do you determine whether a decision is really a
programmed decision, or whether it actually requires a unique solution? When should senior
management become involved?
(Many programmed decisions are just that today. In retail they may be built into the computer
system, and made at the cash register – such as returns, returns with or without receipts, or
information available regarding a customer’s past transactions!)
Section 3: Chapter 8: Question 1
Organizations should have a mission statement, a strategic plan, organizational plans,
tactical plans, goals and objectives. Which of these should primarily be developed by directors
and senior management, middle management, and supervisors and other first level
management personnel? How can these plans be best aligned in order to clearly involve all
levels of management in these goals?

· Exercises have to be explained and calculations shown.
1. Consider an economy that produces only pens. In year 1, the quantity produced is 4 bars and the price is 5 €. In year 2, the quantity produced is 5 bars and the price is 6. In year 3, the quantity produced is 6 bars and the price is 7. Year 1 is the base year.
a. What is nominal GDP for each of these three years?
b. What is real GDP for each of these years?
c. What is the GDP deflator for each of these years?
d. What is the percentage growth rate of real GDP from year 2 to year 3?
e. What is the inflation rate as measured by the GDP deflator from year 2 to year 3?
2. Suppose that people consume only three goods, as shown in this table:
Raquets Nets bottle of water
2019 price 3 € 5 € 2 €
2019 quantity 200 200 300
2020 price 3 7 3
2020 quantity 200 200 300
a. What is the percentage change in the price of each of the three goods?
b. Using a method similar to the CPI, compute the percentage change in the overall price level.
c. If you were to learn that a bottle of water increased in size from 2019 to 2020, should that information affect your calculation of the inflation rate? If so, how?
3. Read the following text:
Many studies have examined the effect of unemployment insurance on job search. The most persuasive studies use data on the experiences of unemployed
individuals rather than economy-wide rates of unemployment. Individual data often yield sharp results that are open to few alternative explanations.
One study followed the experience of individual workers as they used up their eligibility for unemployment-insurance benefi ts. It found that when unemployed
workers become ineligible for benefi ts, they are more likely to fi nd jobs. In particular, the probability of a person fi nding a job more than doubles when his
or her benefi ts run out. One possible explanation is that an absence of benefi ts increases the search effort of unemployed workers. Another possibility is that
workers without benefi ts are more likely to accept job offers that would otherwise be declined because of low wages or poor working conditions.
Additional evidence on how economic incentives affect job search comes from an experiment that the state of Illinois ran in 1985. Randomly selected new claimants for unemployment insurance were each offered a $500 bonus if they found employment within 11 weeks. The subsequent experience of this group was compared to that of a control group not offered the incentive. The average duration of unemployment for the group offered the $500 bonus was 17.0 weeks, compared to18.3 weeks for the control group. Thus, the prospect of earning the bonus reduced the average spell of unemployment by 7 percent, suggesting that more effort was devoted to job search. This experiment shows clearly that the incentives provided by the unemployment-in ...

7.13Chapter 7 Problem 13In many financial transactions, interest is computed and charged more than once a year. Interest on corporate bonds, for example, is usually payable every six months. Consider a loan transaction in which interest is charged at the rate of 1 percent per month. Sometimes such a transaction is described as having an interest rate of 12 percent per annum. More precisely, this rate should be described as a nominal 12 percent per annum coumpounded monthly.Clearly, it is desirable to recognize the difference between 1 percent per month compounded monthly and 12 percent per annum compounded annually. If $1,000 is borrowed with interest at 1 percent per month compounded monthly, the amount due in one year is:F = $1,000(1.01)12 = $1,000(1.1268) = $1,126.80 This compares to F = $1,000(1+.12) =$1,120.00 for annual compounding.Hence, the monthly compounding has the same effect on the year-end amount due as the charging of a rate of 12.68 percent compounded annually. 12.68 percent is referred to as the effective interest rate. To generalize, if interest is compounded m times a year at an interest rate of r/m per compounding period. Then,The nominal interest rate per annum, or the APR = m(r/m) = r.The effective interest rate per annum,or the EAR = (1+r/m)m - 1.Consider a $100,000, 30 year, fixed-rate, 9 percent, home mortgage requiring monthly payments.a.

2 Mar: Your histogram is not correct and you did not create the projected sales following the instructions in Question 2. For the histogram, your bins for up to 20000 and 30000 should have been zero. There are no employees making 0 - 20000 or making 20001 to 30000. As such, these bins are zero. See your histogram sheet where I started you off with the correct information. For the projected sales, select the "Sales Summary (Provided)" chart and simply click on Forecast Sheet on the data tab. Excel will calculate your forecast for you. Additionally, your formulas for the role table in section 2 are incorrect and you chose not to complete section 3. You should know that there are 372 employees. If you add up every instance of every job title...there should be 372 instead of the 288 you came up with in section 2. There are two problems with your formulas. First, you did not read the section in the steps concerning absolute references. Your array is C11:C382 as documented in cell C389. Since you did not use an absolute reference, you have different arrays in use. For example, the array in cell C406 is C11:C410 which also created a circular reference in that your formula is including itself in the array. Your array in C389 should have included the dollar sign to make it an absolute reference as follows: C$11:C$382. The other issue is that you manually entered incorrect values for the roles. Instead of "Acctg/Fin", you entered "ACCT/FIN". Of course your count is going to be zero. What you should have used for the formula is =COUNTIF(C$11:C$382,B389). This tells excel to identify the value of cell B389 and count every instance of that value being included in the array starting in cell C$11 and ending in cell C$382.

Social media sites have recently drew decision attention and influenced.docxwrite12
Employers are increasingly using social media to evaluate potential job candidates, with sites like LinkedIn and Facebook providing profiles and information to aid hiring decisions. However, social media may not always accurately reflect candidates and could include fake or misleading information, making it difficult for employers to properly assess candidates and determine the right fit based on online profiles alone. More research is needed to understand how social media has impacted hiring and how employers can mitigate risks of relying too heavily on digital profiles.

Social cognition helps us understand our own and other people's behavior through mental processes. It allows for quick thinking through cognitive heuristics but can sometimes lead to errors in judgment. Schemas and attitudes can change through accommodation when new information is incorporated or remain the same through assimilation when new information is fit into the existing schema. Cognitive heuristics used in social judgments can influence those judgments and possibly lead them to be incorrect.

7.13Chapter 7 Problem 13In many financial transactions, interest is computed and charged more than once a year. Interest on corporate bonds, for example, is usually payable every six months. Consider a loan transaction in which interest is charged at the rate of 1 percent per month. Sometimes such a transaction is described as having an interest rate of 12 percent per annum. More precisely, this rate should be described as a nominal 12 percent per annum coumpounded monthly.Clearly, it is desirable to recognize the difference between 1 percent per month compounded monthly and 12 percent per annum compounded annually. If $1,000 is borrowed with interest at 1 percent per month compounded monthly, the amount due in one year is:F = $1,000(1.01)12 = $1,000(1.1268) = $1,126.80 This compares to F = $1,000(1+.12) =$1,120.00 for annual compounding.Hence, the monthly compounding has the same effect on the year-end amount due as the charging of a rate of 12.68 percent compounded annually. 12.68 percent is referred to as the effective interest rate. To generalize, if interest is compounded m times a year at an interest rate of r/m per compounding period. Then,The nominal interest rate per annum, or the APR = m(r/m) = r.The effective interest rate per annum,or the EAR = (1+r/m)m - 1.Consider a $100,000, 30 year, fixed-rate, 9 percent, home mortgage requiring monthly payments.a. The monthly interest rate on the mortgage is 9%/12 months = .75%. What is the APR on the mortgage?b. What is the EAR on the mortgage?c.

Suppose after 15 years the borrower has the opportunity to refinance the remaining principal on the mortgage with a new 15-year mortgage carrying an interest rate of 7 1/8%.

Students are asked to submit a zipped file with their completed Orange project file analyzing sentiment and a sentiment analysis Excel file.
Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter encourage users to disclose personal information about themselves, leading to privacy concerns. While these sites allow people to stay connected, some users overshare details that get them into trouble like jobs lost or college admissions denied due to offensive posts. Experts say most students are aware of privacy settings, but stories still emerge of poor judgment in self-disclosures online. Parents joining social media can also impact relationships with college-age children and force both parties to balance openness and privacy as family networks overlap online.
This chapter discusses long-term and planned helping that takes place through organizations or to address needs where little support already exists. Long-term helping can include volunteering regularly at an established charity, food bank, or shelter. It also includes identifying an ongoing community need, like a lack of access to healthcare or education, and developing a new program to address it. Planned helping requires more forethought and commitment than spontaneous acts of kindness. It often involves regularly donating time, skills, or money to an cause over an extended period. Key aspects of long-term helping include identifying meaningful and impactful causes, planning initiatives, and sustaining involvement through coordination and collaboration.
Companies can use social media to find and attract job candidates in several ways. They can post job openings on platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to reach a wide audience of potential applicants. They can also follow hashtags related to their industry or monitor social profiles of candidates to identify strong fits. Current employees can help by endorsing candidates through their own networks. Social media allows companies to screen candidates and get a sense of their online reputation before deciding who to interview.

core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

class which assumes governmentspending is exogenous (i.e. G = G). Imagine, instead, that
some fraction of governmentspending responds to the state of the economy. In particular,
assume that G increasesif output is below potential output, Y < Y and G decreases if output
exceeds potentialoutput, Y > Y . In particular assumeG = G ?? (Y ?? Y )so the simple model we
reviewed corresponds to the special case = 0. Assume also forsimplicity that a = b = 0 and
NX = 0.1.1 Explain why in this model a rule like this can stabilise output around
potential.1.2 Why is the equilibrium level of output a function of potential output, Y ? Why
isthe equilibrium level of output a function of ? Provide intuition.1.3 Dene the scal decit as D
= G ?? T. Represent graphically the scal decit asa function of output. Compare the behaviour
of the decit for two di erent valuesof . Find the level of output for which the decit is zero.1.4
Some economists argue that scal policy does not respond symmetrically to thestate of the
economy. In particular, they argue that during recessions the govern-ment increases
spending by more than it decreases it during boom times. Howwould you change the
graphical representation of the scal decit from 2.3 to cap-ture this kind of scal
policy?Question 2: (15%)The simple model of aggregate demand predicts that the budget
decit is countercyclical,i.e., that it rises when output falls and falls when output rises.Use
Australian annual data to assess the validity of this prediction. Report yourndings and
conclusions.Suggested

based on the excel spreadsheet CGBC.xlsx which stands forConsolidated Government
Budget Constraint. CGBC.xlsx simulates the path of govern-ment debt for di erent
assumptions and starting conditions. You are meant to changethese assumptions and initial
conditions and explore the implications for the dynamics3of government debt. CGBC.xlsx is

recommend that you save a copy and name itteamCGBC.xlsx in case you need to revert back
at any time to the original. To answerthe questions you only need to change the numbers
which are painted red. If you needto go back to the benchmark values, these are in blue in
Columns AD to AN.Notice that in year 16 a scal consolidation takes place: the growth rate of
governmentspending falls, the tax rate increases and the debt to GDP ratio stabilizes and
thengradually starts to fall.3.1 Explain why the debt-to-output ratio continues to rise for a
few years after thescal consolidation has taken place.3.2 For the baseline values the debt-to-
output ratio peaks in year 33. Find the tax rate(after year 15) such that the debt-to-output
ratio peaks in year 25.3.3 For the baseline values the debt-to-output ratio peaks in year 33.
Find the growthrate of nominal G (after year 15) such that the debt-to-output ratio peaks in
year24.3.4 Keep the growth rate of real output at 2%. Are there parameter values such
thatthe primary decit-to-output ratio remains constant at its initial value of 2%? Ifso, report
these values and explain why they stabilise the primary decit-to-outputratio. If not, explain
why there are no values that can satisfy this condition.Assume now that no scal
consolidation takes place in year 16. That is, set the growthrate of nominal G (after year 15)
to 6% and set the tax rate (after year 15) to 20%.3.5 What is the debt-to-output ratio equal
to in year 40?3.6 What growth rate of real output achieves a debt-to-output ratio in year 40
equalto that in year 1?4Question 4: (15%)Consider the Solow-Swan model we developed in

decreasing or constant? Explainand complement your answer using diagrams.4.2 If the
economy is on its balanced-growth path by period 19, what is the level of thecapital stock in
that period? And the capital-labour ratio?4.3 Find the steady state level of income per-
capita, consumption per capita and thereal interest rate.4.4 Let s vary and plot steady state
consumption per-capita as a function of s at thevalues of the remaining parameters.4.5 Find
the value of s that maximises steady state consumption per capita. Comment.Question 5:
(30%)The following questions are based on the excel spread TaylorRules.xlsx, which
containsmeasures of ination, real activity and interest rates in the Sheet called Data”
andcontains an example of a monetary policy in the Sheet called Rules” . The policy
rule,called Rule A, is given byrt = r + ( t ?? ) + g(gt ?? g ) (Rule A)where r is a constant, and g
are monetary policy response coe cients. In the ex-ample t is a measure of ination and gt is a
measure of real activity. The parametrizationof the rule is in columns B and C and in rows 1
to 9 and reproduced belowParameter Valuer 5.32.5g 3.21.5g 0.55The Trimmed Mean serves
as the measure of ination and GDP growth as the measureof real activity.5.1 At the
parameter values given in TaylorRules.xlsx compute for each quarter thedi erence between
the actual cash rate, robst and the implied policy-rule cash rate,rt. Show a plot of the implied
policy rule cash rate and the actual cash rate andanother plot of the resulting di erence, et =
robst ?? rt, i.e the errors. Compute forthe sample the sum of the error terms, PTt=1 et.5.2 Set
to 1:5 and g to 0:25 and nd values for r, and g such that the sum ofthe error terms is zero,
PTt=1 et = 0. Plot the new and old series for et togetherand report the standard deviations
of the each of two series. Comment.5.3 Replace the trimmed mean measure of ination for
the all groups CPI” measure,also known as the Headline measure of ination. Adjust to its
4. sample meanand set to 0.8 and g 0.1. What is the standard deviation of et? Plot the
newimplied policy-rule-cash-rate together with that in 5.1. In the December quarter of2000,
the two rules call for very di erent levels of the cash rate. Why?For the questions that follow,
consider the following alternative rulert = (1 ?? )r + rt??1 + ( t ?? ) ?? u(ut ?? u ) (Rule
B)where ut stands for the rate of unemployment and t is the trimmed mean measureof
ination. Set the parameters to the values shown belowParameter Valuer 5.152.69u
6.520.800.50u 0.105.4 Plot the implied policy rate and the actual one. What is now the
standard deviationof the error term?5.5 For the December quarter of 2008 the average level
of the cash rate was 5.3 percentand the one implied by the rule was close to 7.8 percent.
This corresponds tobiggest deviation (in absolute terms) for the ination-targeting sample.
What washappening in the Australian economy at the time? What do you see as
potentiallimitations of a Rule like B?Suggestion: Read the Statement by Glenn Stevens,
Governor of the Reserve Bank ofAustralia at the time, http://www.rba.gov.au/media-
releases/2008/mr-08-27.html65.6 The sample mean of the unemployment rate is around
6.5 percent. In part, thissample mean is inuenced by the early 1990?s recession but also by
institutionalchanges in the degree of legal regulation of the Australian labour market which
hasbeen progressively relaxed. It is quite likely that the current steady state level ofthe
unemployment rate (NAIRU) is today lower than the sample mean.Propose an alternative
rule which responds in some way to the unemployment ratebut is inmune to shifts in steady
state unemployment like the one described above.Show a plot of your proposed rule (called
it Rule C) and compare it with Rule Band the actual cash rate.7ORDER THIS ESSAY HERE
