Eco 372 Week 1 Assignment

I’m actually pretty embarrassed about my performance in the practice of the spells we learned today. I actually did fairly well with the Stunning Spell. My partners and I were able to cast it at about the same time. With quick slashes downwards towards our opponents, we kept saying the incantation, Stupefy! We both also were quite adept at dodging the spells, so it took a little while for one of us to knock the other out. In the end, I won that round. It took a lot of focus, but not as much willpower. I was also holding back a bit, because I didn’t necessarily want to knock them out for long, even knowing the Reviving Charm. After getting some help from Professor Silvers to revive my partner, as I hadn’t mastered the Reviving Charm yet and the designated counter caster hadn’t quite gotten it either, we moved onto our practice of the Full

Thank you for your reply and the additional information. I wasn’t sure what direction I was going to go in this week until I begin to write on the topic provided. It is just so many things that influence the economy, even the environment. Supply and demand pushes output numbers; however, interest rates and employment number have a great effect on the economy as well. Again, thanks for the input and I look forward to your posting.

In this assignment, you need to think about 21st century support systems, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and International Society for Technology in Education Student  (ISTE-S) standards and their relationship with quality instructional planning, delivery, and learner achievement. Using the Framework for 21st century learning as a resource, you will redesign or modify a prior activity, such as a lesson plan or curriculum project, that you created in a prior course.

For my TDAU thinkorswim portfolio I have had some technical problems, but overall after reviewing my portfolio over the last few weeks, I had decided to stay with my investments I made and will definitely be purchasing shares in another company and keeping a close eye on my portfolio. The companies that I originally have in my portfolio are AAPL (Apple), SBUX (Starbucks), and WMT (Wal-Mart). As of 10/5/2017, the current value of my portfolio is $19,566.15 and my portfolio’s rate of return as of 10/5/2017 is 2.08% (415.42/20,000*100).

The above calculation shows the optimal selling price of $5.96 using a quantity of 13611 this is compared as to competitor’s selling price of $6.00 from the regression analysis in Assignment 1.

The six stocks that I used to create my portfolio included Altera Corporation, Cabot Oil & Gas Corp., Dominion Resources, FMC Corporation, Chevron Corporation, and Nike Inc. Each of my stocks had weights, which I distributed for my $100,000. 20% of the $100,000 went towards Altera Corp., 15% to Cabot Oil $ Gas Corp., Dominion Resources, and Nike Inc. Finally I allocated 10% towards FMC Corp. and 25% towards Chevron Corporation. The stocks that I chose were intended to make my portfolio as diversified as possible so that I could receive high returns. I found that Dominion (D) Resources was the most steady and reliable

At retirement, we believe your home will sell for $370,000. We recommend placing a down payment greater than 20% on the new home and taking out a 15-year mortgage to cover the remaining costs. The remainder of the amount received from the sale of your current home should be invested and saved to cover costs throughout retirement. We recommend a 15-year mortgage because it increases the chance of you owning the home outright at the end of the plan and thus pass it to your children debt-free. Though the payments are higher than a 30-year mortgage, you will be paying less in interest and increase the likelihood of owning it outright. With a $400,000 dollar home, we recommend an $80,000 down payment and a $320,000 15-year mortgage at a 2.75% interest rate for a yearly payment of $27,245 or $2,271 a month. This annual amount is less than you are paying on your current home. A breakdown of what this mortgage will look like is located in the

This study investigated whether changes in social skills in children with autism spectrum disorders were apparent to camp interventionists and parents after an existing summer camp program that focused on interventions designed to target specific social skills. In this study the researchers were concerned with pre and post intervention measures but were not part of the actual interventions. The researchers asked parents who had children attending this already established summer camp to participate by providing ratings on their children. There was no random assignment in this intervention making this study quasi-experimental research. The researchers were looking for a positive change in children’s pre intervention measures and post intervention measures. Their hypothesis was that the children would have

Though you have several strengths related to your portfolio, our team did find a few areas that could be improved. Our primary issue with your current portfolio is your high equity allocation; this means that a majority of your portfolio is held in stocks. When a majority of your portfolio is held in stocks, you are not diversifying throughout all asset options available to you and are opening yourself up to a higher level of risk. By diversifying throughout different types of assets, cash, bonds, stocks, etc., you minimize your risk and are more likely to reach your goals.
