  1. Short Response1.Use the All-Item Consumer Price Index on the Statistics Canada website (baseyear=2002) to respond to the following questions. Specifically look at Table 18-10-005-01.1Assume that all prices are provided in Canadian dollars, and show your work.(5%each)(a) In 1955, a two-story detached house, with a large lot, in downtown Toronto (DavisvilleVillage) sold for$30,000. How much is this in 2020 dollars?(b) In 1954, the average family income in Canada was$4,136. How much is this in 2020dollars?(c) You manage a Toronto hedge fund from 2000 to 2010. Over this period of time, youmake your clients a 10% return on their money. For example, someone who invested$100,000 with you in 2000 has$110,000 in 2010. Is this performance good, when adjustedforinflation?(d) In 2002, the average spot price of silver was$4.60. In 2020, the average spot pricehad risen to$20.69. By how much percent has the price of silver risen from 2002 to2020, when adjusted for inflation?2(e) In 1950, an expensive date cost$10. How much would this be in 2020 dollars?(f) Boomers often complain about Zoomers and Millennials being spoiled and lazy. Atypical Boomer may say something like, “When I was in university, my summer job paidfor the tuition.” In 1975, Canadian tuition was$551. How much is this in 2020 dollars?1See here:              
  2.  2.In the future, “you will own nothing and you will be happy.”Jack is a lowly office worker in 2030, and represents the typical consumer. He onlyspends his money on three items: his daily food cube (which provides all of the necessarymacronutrients and calories for the day in the palm of your hand!), Uber rides, and renton his 250 square foot apartment (which is sometimes used as a meeting space and lovehotel).Jack’s annual consumption is 365 food cubes, 600 Uber rides, and 12 rental payments.Let2029be the base year, and assume that the CPI for 2030 is 150.Year Price of Food Cube Price of Uber Ride Price of Rental Payment2030$15$30$6652031$20$40$1,0002032$25$40$3,3302033$30$35$10,000(a) Calculate the CPI for 2031, 2032, and 2033. Show your work.(15%)(b) Now let 2030 be the base year. Calculate the CPI for 2031, 2032, and 2033. Showyour work.(15%)3.Suppose that the United States and Canada both use a gold standard, so that eachunit of currency is backed by a fixed amount of gold. This means, in practical terms,that whenever someone goes to the bank or a government exchange window, that theycan demand gold in exchange for their cash.Briefly explain how this would affect each of the following situations.(5% each)(a) The exchange rate between Canada and the United States (i.e. how many Canadiandollars can be exchanged for an American dollar).(b) Inflation in the United States over the long-term.(c) Long-term business planning in Canada.(d) Saving decisions in the United States.4.In each of the following cases, explain clearly how the CPI might misrepresent changesin consumer prices (Commodity substitution bias, Introduction of new goods, or Un-measured quality changes). In each case, speculate as to whether CPI overstates orunderstates consumer expenses.(5% each)(a) By 1990, expensive personal computers became a common expenditure in consumers’baskets. However, some governments were still calculating the consumer’s basket usinga 1975 survey.(b) Between 2007 and 2015, there were significant improvements in smartphones.(c) Compared to 1970, households in 2015 took more vacations.(d) Food quality has deteriorated over time, even as consumers purchase the sameamount.5.Is each of the following situations an example of structural, frictional, or cyclicalunemployment? You do not need to explain your answer. (2% each)2

Navigate to the following NASA website on Net Radiation:

 

Read the short description for the map series on the page.

 

Press the ‘play’ button on the left-hand side of the image and the movie will progress through data from 2006 until the most recent data in 2022. The area in orange indicates the region of positive net radiation, whereas the area in purple indicates the area of negative net radiation.  Watch the area covered by the orange and purple areas. Think about what is happening to create this pattern?

 

In the movie bar under the graphics that shows the progression of the images, you are able to slide the orange circle in the white bar (left or right) to select a specific month during the year. Slide the orange circle so you are looking at the data for January 2016.

Think of a movie where the actors have portrayed somebody from a different dialect area and either succeeded so well that they fooled you or failed miserably. What about linguistic stereotypes? Can you think of any linguistic stereotypes you noticed in a movie? 

Your answers should not be more than a paragraph. Simply think of linguistic stereotypes of a particular accent or dialect in a movie. Ensure to include the film's name and character(s). 

Here are two sample responses:

Response#1: In Deadpool and Deadpool 2, a character named Dopinder is an Indian cab driver. He only appears in the films briefly, but his role is a stereotype in that one of the few jobs Indians do is drive cabs. Although, that may be the only or one of the few stereotypes portrayed about this character. In the first film, he is only in a quick scene, while in the second film, his character develops a story arc, which is rare for these types of roles. Dopinder is played by Karan Soni, who is of Indian descent but born in America. Therefore, Soni has no Indian accent in his regular speech. However, when he plays Dopinder, his character has an Indian accent, which is done well. It sounds like he uses the retroflex ‘t’ and ‘d’ instead of alveolar ‘t’ and ‘d’, a noticeable and well-known marker for the Indian accent.

Response#2: In the movie Titanic, a character named Rose Dewitt Bukater is portrayed as a wealthy American Socialite. Rose, the film's main protagonist, is played by Kate Winslet, a British actress. Kate Winslet was born in England and, therefore, acquired English with a British accent, showing different pronunciations, grammar, vocabulary, etc. One of the most common differences between American and British accents is the pronunciation of /r/ in the middle or ending of a word. British people typically pronounce /r/ when it appears at the beginning of words. However, American people tend to pronounce /r/ throughout the term. This is demonstrated as Kate plays the upper-class, all-American character Rose; she can produce a compelling American accent due to the pronunciation of /r/ in words like “nerve.” The upper-class status of Rose is reflected through her dialogue speech. Rose uses standard and sophisticated language in all contexts; she even uses formal vocabulary when referring to other people. This is evident in her conversation with Jack:

Jack: “Well, it's a simple question. Do you love the guy?”...

Rose: “You are rude and uncouth, and presumptuous…Jack... Mister Dawson, it's been a pleasure.”

As seen in the conversation, when Rose refers to Jack by his first name, she corrects herself and calls him “Mister Dawson.” Instead, Jack (a lower-class artist) refers to the other person as a “guy.” In addition, Jack utilizes informal language, such as pronouncing “you” as /ja/, contrasting Rose’s formal speech. Lastly, Rose uses super polite forms such as “forgive me” when she disagrees with other men, then explains her reasoning. This presence of euphemism aligns with Lakoff’s claim on women’s speech, where women’s speech reflects their subordinate status in society.
