Although he was a prolific artist, Pablo Picasso painted only 1,000 canvases during his "blue period." Picasso is now dead, and all of his Blue Period works are currently on display in museums and private galleries throughout Europe and the United States.

a. Draw a supply curve for Picasso Blue Period works. Why is this supply curve different from ones you have seen?

b. Given the supply curve from part a. the price of a Picasso Blue Period work will be entirely dependent on what factor(s)? Draw a diagram showing how the equilibrium price of such a work is determined.

c. Suppose rich art collectors decide that it is essential to acquire Picasso Blue Period art for their collections. Show the impact of this on the market for these paintings.

Suppose that you are setting up a laboratory to study thedecision making behavior of rats. You will have them running a mazeand will put wires in their brains while they run it in order tomeasure what they are thinking as they make choices about where togo.

Suppose also that you want to be outside the room so as not todistract them while they are doing their tasks in case you need tointervene for some reason. You can think immediately think of twostraightforward approaches . (1) Put up a mirror in the room so youcan watch them while you are in the next room. (2) Put a webcam inthe room so you can watch them from anywhere.

There are various advantages and disadvantages to these choices,but you get distracted from making a decision by the followinginteresting question. In both cases, an image of the same volume ofspace containing the same objects is displayed on a two-dimensionalsurface â in one case the surface of the computer screen, in theother the surface of the mirror. Yet there is an interestingdifference. If you move away from looking at the center of thecomputer screen and go off to the side, the objects on the surfaceof the computer appear distorted â squashed along the horizontaldirection. (This is what it means to be a 2D image.) On the otherhand, if you walk off to the side of a mirror, nothing isdistorted. Everything looks normally 3D â you just see somewhatdifferent parts of the room.

Explain why this difference occurs in terms of the physics of lightand mirrors as you have learned them in class.

In the interactive lecture materials for this module, you readarticles and materials and watched various videos, which describedthe history of the convergence process between the US GAAP andIFRS, including the status of convergence today. You also reviewedreadings showing the differences that still exist today between USGAAP and IFRS on various accounting subjects. Below is a list ofsome particularly significant accounting topics or subjects wheredifferences still exist today between the US GAAP and IFRS:inventories goodwill and other intangible assets contingenciesaccounting for income taxes including uncertainty in income taxesimpairment of long-lived assets to be held or used or to bedisposed of by sale research and development âdevelopmentâexpenses. Select one of the above accounting subjects, preferably asubject personally or professionally interesting to you, and answerthe following questions related to that topic in your initialresponse. Copy and paste each question below in bold type in yourinitial response to ensure that you answer each question. Thesubject line of your initial posting should be the accountingsubject you have decided to address (for example: Inventories):Briefly explain the reason this subject was of interest to you.Describe, in an appropriate level of detail, the major differencesthat exist today between US GAAP and IFRS for that subject.Research if any progress has been made to date on converging theaccounting and/or the financial reporting for that subject betweenthe FASB and the IASB. If so, describe the progress, and if not,describe why progress has not yet been made, either from yourresearch or in your opinion or both. Provide the class with aspecific and detailed computational-based example of how thedifferences in the accounting and financial statement treatment ofthis subject could potentially affect the comparability of both thebalance sheet and the income statement prepared under US GAAP andIFRS. State your opinion on whether you believe the FASB and theIASB eventually will reach convergence on this subject, and why orwhy not. Include an explanation of your opinion and what might besome other considerations preventing or delaying convergence onthis subject.
