2. Stacey is forming a team to develop a new product for her company. To ensure that her team
incorporates a diverse range of viewpoints, she has been allowed to select team members from
across three departments. After speaking with several other managers, Stacey has identified 10
potential team members:

The Commitment score for each person is Stacey’s estimate, on a scale of 1-10, of how committed
the person would be to the project. The “Years” column shows how many years of experience the
person has.
Using the three steps, formulate an optimization model using binary decision variables to help
Stacey form a team that will maximize the total commitment level subject to the follow constraints:
x The team must have exactly five members.
x The team must have at least one member from each of the three departments (Marketing,
Engineering, and Accounting).
x The average of the number of years of experience of the team members must be at least 6.
x The team must have at least two women.
x The team must have at least two men.
x If Jing is chosen for the team, Guillaume must also be chosen.
x Bernie and Hilda can’t both be chosen.
x Alvin and Drew must either both be chosen or both left off.

3. The office manager of a large New York City-based accounting firm needs to replace the aging and
out-of-style office furniture in their New York offices. The firm has decided to purchase
desk/chair/credenza furniture sets for all 2,000 offices in New York. The company has received bids
from four different furniture companies who are willing to supply the furniture sets, as follows:
Carolina Woodworks has bid to deliver up to 1,000 furniture sets at a cost of $2,500 per set and
with a one-time charge of $10,000.
Nashawtuc Millworks has bid to deliver up to 1,200 furniture sets at a cost of $2,450 per set and
with a one-time charge of $20,000.
Adirondack Furnishing Designs has bid to deliver up to 800 furniture sets at a cost of $2,510 per set
with no additional charges.
Lancaster Artisan Company has bid to deliver up to 1,100 furniture sets at a cost of $2,470 per set
and with a one-time charge of $13,000.
a) Formulate a mixed integer optimization model that could be used to determine how many
furniture sets to purchase from each of the four potential suppliers in order to minimize cost.
Make sure to follow the three steps clearly.
b) Use Excel to find the optimal solution. Turn in your spreadsheet.
c) In your Word/ PDF file, report how many furniture sets to order from each supplier.
d) In your Word/ PDF file, report what the total cost will be.

1. Unemployment and wages as workers’ discipline devices. Consider the labor market model of Shapiro and Stiglitz (1984). Suppose that a firm can discipline shirking workers by firing them and by withholding part of their paycheck. In particular, suppose that if a firm catches a worker shirking, it fires the worker and withholds c dollars from his paycheck, c ∈ (0, e).
a. Write down an expression for the lifetime utility of a worker employed at the wage w. In this expression, make sure to identify the periodical utility of a worker who chooses effort a ∈ {0, 1}, and the continuation utility of a worker who chooses effort a ∈ {0, 1}.
b. Derive a condition under which the worker chooses to exert effort.

Assigned US Airline: United Airlines – Foreign Airline: Air Canada

Please answer all of the following questions of the financial statements of the above airlines.

1. What amounts do your foreign and U.S. airline report for the following items for the last fiscal year?

a. Long-term assets

b. Property, plant and equipment

c. Intangible assets

d. Trading financial assets or Investments accounted for at fair value through profit and loss

e. Available-for-sale financial assets

f. Held-for-maturity financial assets

g. Investments accounted for using the equity method

h. Derivative financial instruments

i. Deferred tax assets

j. Interest Revenue

k. Dividend Revenue

B2. How does the foreign airline report/value its property, plant, and equipment? Does it have a policy on revaluing property, plant, and equipment? Suppose it decided to revalue its flight equipment on the last day of the fiscal year and that the fair value of the equipment on that date was 12 billion. Prepare the journal entry to record the revaluation assuming that the journal entry to record annual depreciation had already been recorded. (Hint: you may need to locate the original cost and accumulated depreciation of the equipment at the end of the year in the appropriate disclosure note.)

B3. Describe any differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP in the calculation of depreciation. How does each airline calculate depreciation expense? What is the amount of depreciation expense for each?

B4. How does the foreign airline report/value its intangible assets? Does the company have a policy of revaluing intangible assets? What method does the foreign airline use to amortize the cost of IT/computer software development costs? How does this approach differ from U.S. GAAP?

a. Examine the income statements for both airlines. For each, what is the total amount of amortization of software development costs?

b. For each, is there amortization for other items? If so, for what and how much?

B5. Does the foreign airline report any research and development expenditures? If so, its approach to accounting for research and development would be significantly different from U.S. GAAP. Describe the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP in accounting for research and development expenditures.

What is the total amount of research and development expenditures for each airline?

B6. How does the airline account for investments? Is that approach consistent with U.S. GAAP?

Assignment- Research Money In Politics – Due Saturday

Explore the Center for Responsive Politics (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)website. The Center for Responsive Politics tracks money in U.S. politics and its effect on elections and public policy. The center provides data and analytical reports on a number of topics (presidential elections, super pacs, political parties, 527 groups, etc.)

Research an area that interests you on the site. Submit a minimum one page summary and analysis of your findings on the topic. Include links to the pages you consulted for your assignment.

Each response should be paragraph should be a minimum of one full page written in full sentences (minimum of 10 sentences)

Consider a contemporary social issue or societal problem. How might we intervene in this issue to affect a different outcome and change society for the better? Use Putnam’s notions of the various types of reciprocity generalized and specific), along with the various types of capital (physical, human, bridging and bonding, and/or social) in order to explain your intervention in this causal relationship that will create positive change for the future. You may also want to define the problem as you know it.

Consider Godish, Davis, and Fu’s (2014, p. 250) Figure 7.5; the fact that the reported industry practice is to accept sample data within 10% of the true value for statistical sampling methods and within 25% of the true value for passive sampling methods.

What problems do you perceive that this practice could pose when attempting to generalize air quality study outcomes? If you were the environmental engineer for a company tasked with monitoring emissions, reflect on how you would explain to management the benefits of stricter tolerances in your company’s monitoring.
