MICRO – M1 A2 Capitalism and the U.S. Economy
[Pin It]
In a command or planned economy, the government, not the market, regulates the factors of production and economic activities considered essential to the function of the economy. Economic decisions including what goods and services to produce (supply), how resources are allocated and regulated and how profits are distributed are made and implemented by the government.
How is the U.S. economy different from a command economy? Can the U.S. economy be called a true free market economy? Explain your answer by discussing the ways in which the federal government interacts with and regulates the U.S. economy in the context of both a command and free market economy.
Provide examples and justify your conclusions. Quotations, paraphrases, and ideas you get from books or other sources of information should be cited using APA style. Help with citing sources can be found through the Academic Resources page under Course Home.

Work has to be shown my teacher said that I made some mistakes please find them and fix
Problem
Jamil always throws loose change into a pencil holder on his desk and
takes it out every two weeks. This time it is all nickels and dimes. There
are 2 times as many dimes as nickels, and the value of the dimes is $1.65
more than the value of the nickels. How many nickels and dimes does
Jamil have?
My work
Let the number of dimes Jamil throws into the pencil holder be Y
Let the number of nickel Jamil throws into the pencil holder be X
Since there are 2 times as many dimes as nickel’s then we would have;
Y=2X
A dimes value is $0.05
A nickel’s value is $ 0.10
Since we have twice as many dimes as nickles then this would imply;
The sum of availables dimes and nickle is equal to $1.65
Converting Y=2X to a simple equation we would have;
Y- 2X=0 ……………………………..i
0.10X-0.05Y=1.65 …………….ii multiplying equation ii by 100 to get whole numbers then it will be;
Y- 2X=0 ………………………………i
10X+5Y = 165 ………………………iii
The least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10. Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 2, by doing so that will have the y variable eliminated when the second equation is subtracted from the first equation.
(5)Y- (5)2X=(5)0 which solves to 5Y-10X=0
(2)10X+(2)5Y = (2)165 which solves to 20X+10Y=230
Subtract the second equation from the first and solve for x.
5Y-10X=0
20Y-10X=330
-15x= -330divide by sides by 12 to solve for x
-15 -15
Y = 22
From the equation we can be able to conclude that jamil has 22 dimes. We can go ahead and replace the number of dimes into 1 of the equations so that we can solve for the number of nickles. Taking the second equation.
20X+10Y=230 since we have computed for y=22
20(22)-10X=330then subtract 29.92 from both sides of the equation
440 – 10X=330
10X= 440-330
10X=110 dividing both sides by 10 we get;
10 10
X= 11 therefore jamil had 11 nickles
This would imply that jamil throwings in the pencil holder was 11 nickles and 22 dimes
Imagine you are a policymaker for your city or town. Based on what you know and what you have learned in this course, what would you modify or improve to make a positive change in the life of a vulnerable group we have not covered in class? Justify whether or not you would consult the vulnerable group when developing programs or policies? Propose a policy you would create to improve health care services accessibility, cost, and quality related to your selected group?
Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Your research and claims must be supported by a minimum of two scholarly sources beyond your course text. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response (minimum of 100 words) to at least two of your peers. What new things did you learn about another vulnerable population from your colleagues? Compare and contrast your proposed policy to those of your peers.

Reflection Prompts
Please think about and answer the following prompts. These reflections will not be graded on grammar and syntax, but on the depth of critical reflection and the analysis that composes your answers. Utilize this space to gather information and notes that you think will aid in your analysis of business ethics.
Reflection Prompt #1
Summarize three of the ethical theories that are explained in Chapter 1 of Introduction to Business Ethics. Explain how people running businesses would construct their companies if they utilized these ethical theories. For example, you might personally think that people should act to increase the overall happiness for the greatest number of people (utilitarianism). You would explain utilitarianism and then explain how a company based in utilitarian ethics would function. In other words:
What products would they make?
How would they treat their employees? How would they treat their customers?
How would they manufacture their products?
How would they utilize their resources and profits were they to become successful?
Reflection Prompt #2
Analyze three of the punishments that corporations undergo when they have acted unethically (i.e., name them, define them, explain what they are). In addition, explain three threats to running an ethical corporation. Finally, from your own perspective, explain whether or not a corporation should have to function by the same codes of morality that individual people in society have to abide by or if they should be allowed to get away with certain actions that people in society cannot get away with.

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?
Did the judge make an appropriate decision in this case, and why?
What other alternatives would have been more appropriate for this defendant?
