Decision Modeling & Analysis

1 Review problem 12 at the end of Chapter 2 in the text:

Frank Hurley is a farmer with 250 acres on which he wishes to plant wheat and corn to maximize his expected return for the season. For crop rotation purposes he must plant at least 50 acres of each crop. He can participate in a federal program that will require him to produce at least as much wheat as corn. Under this program, he is guaranteed to earn $150 per acre of wheat planted and $200 per acre of corn planted. Alternatively, he can opt not to participate in the program, in which case he projects he would make only $125 per acre of wheat planted and $184 per acre of corn planted. What would you recommend to Frank?

Based on the output, what key points would you recommend to Frank? In 250 words, sequentially list and explain each activity along with the tools needed to develop your response. (This question is not about the bottom line answer but rather, the solution process, question formulation, data development, output, output explanation, etc.).

Chapter 17 introduces the reasons for the regulatory environment, the history of the McFadden Act of 1927, the Banking Act of 1933 referred to as the Glass Steagall Act, the Banking Act of 1935 as the foundation for modern banking activity until the early 1980’s. The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980, the Garn-St. Germain Act of 1982 as well as the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ushered in the era of allowing banks to offer more services under supervision from different regulatory agencies. The OTS, Office of Thrift Supervision supplanted the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Other legislation enacted includes the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 and most importantly the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 which effectively ended the prohibition concerning the separation of banks from investment banking activities. Finally, the Federal Reserve regulates banks that have many subsidiary banks that have national charters as well as state charters. In respect to international banking Basel Committee on Banking Supervision sets standards for banks domiciled or transacting business in the EU. We are now up to the Basel III capital standards.

What is the intent of the mental health court in general?

Psychopathology and Criminality

[Pin It]

ou are part of a citizen’s watchdog committee on the circuit court in your region of the state. Recently, the state has started a mental health court, in which defendants may voluntarily enter into a treatment program instead of being prosecuted and sentenced to a prison term.

Mr. John Snodgrass was recently arrested at a local park playground while attempting to look up the skirts of little girls about 5 or 6 years old playing on the park’s monkey bars. His lawyer explained that Snodgrass has a heterosexual pedophilia disorder, but it only results in him looking at little girls—he has never touched one. The judge allowed Snodgrass to voluntarily enter a diversion program for the new mental health court.

Please respond to the following questions. You must provide meaningful feedback to the main postings of at least two of your classmates.

What is the intent of the mental health court in general?
