The task is to see if you have internalized those terms. (what"s diegetic sound?, for example). The remaining four questions will require longer explanations, paragraphs. There will be questions about the broadened themes we have been talked about, but will all be in relation to quebec cinema. There are general theorists brought in that touch on quebec cinema, there will be questions on them. There will also be questions on quebec cinema more generally. The questions relate to the last five weeks of the course material, but should touch on broader themes throughout the class. Between reality and fiction the rise of the quebec auteur.

There is no renewal option or bargain purchase option. BothSSPT and Zeros use straight-line depreciation. â¢The interest rateused by Zeros to compute the payments is stated in the leaseagreement as 10%. â¢Residual value is unguaranteed and estimated at$2,000. â¢The lessee will pay executor costs of $200 per year. â¢Thelast time SSPT tried to get a loan, the company received a quotefor an interest rate of 18%. The company has been shaky financiallyfor the past two years and has missed some payments on loans. Therehave even been rumors that the company may not be around in acouple of years. â¢The copier will go back to Zeros at the end ofthe lease. As you finish looking over the copier lease, Mr. Kahn,your boss, stops by your office. "I see you're looking at thecopier lease. So, how do you think we should account for it?" heasks. "I just reviewed lease accounting before I took the CertifiedPublic Accountant (CPA) exam," you reply. "I'm sure it's a capitallease." "That can't be right!" your boss exclaims. "The agreementspecifically says that Zeros will account for the lease as anoperating lease. That means they will still show it as their asset.If we report it as a capital lease, we'll be showing it as anasset, too! You'd better go back and check. Write me a memo whenyou are sure about what we should do." Based on your analysis ofthe information provided, answer the following questions: â¢Howshould the lease be classified for SSPT? Why? â¢How will Zerosclassify the lease? Why? â¢Are there any journal entries needed forthe first two years for SSPT? Why or why not? If yes, what journalentries are needed? If not, why are they not needed? â¢How will thelease be reported in the financial statements for both SSPT andZeros?

Economics is nothing more than the study of scarcity and choice. It's called the Economizing Problem.

Economics is also the study of human action---why people make the choices they do.

We have finite (limited) resources and infinite (unlimited) demand for goods and services. We must, therefore, use rational decisions as to how to allocate these resources so that we can produce the goods and services that satisfy as many needs and wants as possible.

Needs are those things that make life possible---food, clothing, shelter, etc. Wants are the things that make life easier---glass in windows, carpet on the floor, a refrigerator to keep your beer cold, etc.

The resources we are trying to use wisely are not confined to money. We are talking about talent, ability, drive, ambition, etc. We can't all be brain surgeons. Nor would most of us want to be. We have different needs and wants that drive our ambitions. I have 5 grandchildren. The oldest two are twins---a boy and a girl. My granddaughter graduated from Idaho University with a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting in 5 years. She passed the CPA exam on the first try. She now lives in Panama and works for BMW. She speaks, reads, and writes 4 languages, including English. Her brother finally graduated from the University of Arkansas in May 2016 after 8 years! Why did it happen this way?? They were raised the same way by the same parents. Why was my granddaughter drove to succeed and my grandson so listless?

Then there is subjective valuation and opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is nothing more than what you have to give up to do something else. Some of you might have to roll out of the bar or the party a little before you wanted to leave just to be able to attend my class. You might also have to give up some precious sleep. In any event, you had to give up something to attend my class. That's the opportunity cost. Remember, everything you do has a price (opportunity cost) that must be paid according to Harry Browne who wrote, How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World.) To do one thing you must give up the opportunity to do something else.

When people decide to buy a product or service they must decide if it will satisfy a need or want at a price they are willing to pay. The number one reason that people buy the products or services they do is called Personal Tastes or Preferences (Subjective valuation). Everyone has a different price they are willing to pay for the same product or service. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. That's a subjective valuation. Each of us has a different intensity of demand for the same products. Things you want I may not care for at all, and the opposite may also be true. This is why there is such a variety of goods and services offered on the market.

Subjective valuation is also fluid. As your income goes either up or down it changes your valuation of products and services. Have you ever wanted something so bad you would do almost anything to get it---an i phone or I pad?---but once you get the money you think, "do I really want this?' and you don't buy it. This is common. If it were not for a subjective valuation we would all be wearing the same style and color clothes and living in similar houses, etc. Wouldn't that be a wonderful world! I'd find the tallest building in downtown Orlando and see if I could fly! It is not the similarity in people that interests me. It's the differences. It's my desire not to be like everyone else that has driven my life. Don't strive to be someone else. Strive to find and be yourself. God save me from a terminal case of conventional wisdom!

There are 5 embedded questions.

Give me an example of subjective valuation.

1.1 Maria is a genetic counselor and has a son who looks very much like her. Total strangers often say âHe is your little cloneâhe looks just like you!â Sheâs tempted to retort, âNo heâs not! You obviously donât know anything about genetics!â but instead just says âThank you.â

a. Based on what you know about genetics explain why Mariaâs son could not be her clone.

b. Would it be legal to for Maria to make a clone of herself? Should it be? Explain your answer in 1-2 sentences.

1.2 When I was an undergraduate, a friend of mine who knew I was working on genetics offered to pay me a tidy sum to clone his dog Mitzi, who he loved dearly, so that he would never have to be without her. Although I could have used the money, I declined.

a. If I had cloned Mitzi, would Mitziâs clone have been identical to Mitzi in appearance and behavior?

b. If she would not have been identical, explain why not in terms of genetics and gene expression.

1.3 (2 pts) List an example of a clone that is found in nature (rather than made in agricultural practice or the lab) in each of the following categories and escribe the characteristic(s) that qualify it to be considered a clone, in 1-2 sentences.

a. Single-celled organism

b. Plant

c. Animal

1.4 Plants have been genetically modified for many different reasons, which can be loosely grouped into two categories:

To increase yield. Examples include pesticide resistance, longer shelf-life modification and drought resistance.

To directly improve human health. Examples include: increasing the nutritional value of crops, removing allergenic substances, and using crops to produce vaccines.

Find one example of a crop in each category, then answer the following questions for each. Do not use examples we will discuss in class, which are BT, Round-up ready crops and Golden Rice, or other crops modified to make beta carotene.

a.GMO plants to increase yield (3 pts)

i.Name the GMO (e.g corn) and the gene or genes that were added or changed.

ii.What benefit(s) does the gene/s confer to the crop?

iii.Is this product in commercial use today?

iv.What are the regulations on the use of this product? Does it need to be labeled? Do farmers have to have a special permit to grow it?

v.What is one concern regarding the use of this crop?

b.GMO plants to benefit human health (3 pts)

i.Name the GMO (e.g corn) and the gene or genes that were added or changed.

ii.What benefit(s) does the gene/s confer to humans?

iii.Is this product in commercial use today?

iv.What are the regulations on the use of this product? Does it need to be labeled? Do farmers have to have a special permit to grow it?

v. What is one concern regarding the use of this crop?
