Duopoly

Assume a duopoly of office supply big box stores where each carries the same merchandise and each advertises that it will “meet or beat” any competitor’s price. Assume further that they have no online competition from anyone else. How does the “meet or beat” policy affect buyers in terms of the prices offered to them over the long run? What does this suggest about oligopolistic behavior generally?

Thermal and Statistical Physics

1) Consider a particle that has only three energy levels, E1 = 0, E2 =  , and E3 = 10 . The particle is in equilibrium at temperature T.
a) Write out the partition function for this particle.
b) Find the probability that the particle is in the level with energy E3.
c) If the system contains N such particles (non-interacting), find N3, the number of particles in the level with energy E3.
d) Find the temperature Tc below which there are no particles in the level with energy E3 (i.e., N3 < 1); you may assume N >>1.
e) Find the mean energy per particle.
f) Find the heat capacity Cv of the system.
g) Find the behavior of Cv at high (kT >> ) and low (kT << ) temperatures.
h) Sketch Cv vs. T.

Federal Income Tax – ACF1466

During 2020, Payne rented his vacation home for 80 days and used it personally for 10 days.
Gross rental income from the property was $12,000 and Payne incurred the following expenses:
Advertising 1,000
Mortgage interest 5,000
Real estate taxes 3,000
Utilities & Maintenance 2,000
Depreciation 4,000
Using the IRS approach, calculate Payne’s total Sch E income / (loss) and the amount that he can deduct on his Sch A for 2020.

cognitive theories and phenomenological theories

Personality theories suggest that people understand reality by means of specific processes. Compare and contrast evidence provided by cognitive theories (i.e., theories that emphasize how people conceptualize and think about themselves and the world) and by phenomenological theories with respect to the ways in which individuals understand reality. Clearly explain why these different approaches might lead to both similar and different conclusions, and the circumstances that might lead to these outcomes

BUS 430 Discussion

Compare and contrast the lean service system found within Southwest Airlines to a full-service airline such as United Airlines, British Airways, and other large carriers in terms of cabin service, boarding process, baggage handling, and service encounters.
Recommend ways for the airline carriers to improve their lean operation systems in terms of speed and quality while reducing waste and costs. Explain your rationale
