Answer:

Choose CareCo.

Explanation:

Given : CareCo offers a generous health insurance package to all employees. ApathyInc pays slightly higher wages than CareCo, but does not offer health insurance.

A person who is unhealthy & expects to have high healthcare expenses : would have issues having direct health insurance from an insurer, based on high risk evaluation. Even if by chance, he/ she gets, it will be at extremely high price i.e premium rates & is likely to have less coverage. So, the person rationally would prefer to protect himself / herself from this huge health expenditure risk, & would protect self & family from catastrophic health costs. He / she would do so by choosing to work for Care Co, which gives generous health insurance to all its employees, by sacrifising higher salary by Apathy giving no health insurance. He/ she is logical as the wage differential is likely to be less than catastrophic health costs

How have embedded computers and the IoT impacted your daily life? What additional uses can you see yourself using? What security
Zigmanuir [339]

<u>NOTE:</u> Before discussing the impacts of embedded computers and the IoT, <em>first</em>, let me briefly explain what both of them are in simple words (without any complex jargon) for a better understanding.

<em>Embedded computers </em><em>are the programmable controllers (or loosely speaking, chips) designed to </em><em>perform specific or dedicated tasks</em><em> within a device.</em> They take input (from sensors etc.), process it in a predefined steps (or instructions) and give an output.

<em>The IoT, on the other hand, is the </em><em>Internet of Things</em><em>. It is the system of interconnected </em><em>things</em><em> that can communicate with one another directly over the network (internet). </em>The word Things in the IoT incorporates an array of objects ranging from devices like digital and security cameras, wearable watches, GPS navigation systems, washing machines, refrigerators to buildings and even cities.

All in all, <em>embedded computers enable the things with the automation capabilities, while the IoT empowers those things with the communication abilities.</em>

(1) Impacts of Embedded Computers and the IoT

In the current era, almost all devices around us have embedded computer(s). Not only that, many of those devices have an ability to connect to the Internet through WiFi. The impacts of embedded computers and the IoT together can easily be understood by the some of the examples, as follows:

  • Nowadays, we have smart washing machines that not only be able to rinse, wash and dry clothes <em>automatically, economically and efficiently</em>—thanks to the embedded computers—but they can also be <em>controlled remotely</em> or can also send a notification to a mobile phone by the virtue of the IoT. It saves <em>our energy</em> (by automatically washing the clothes), <em>our money </em>(by efficiently using the detergent), <em>resources</em> (by rinsing and washing the clothes with the amount of water required—water conservation) and <em>our time</em> (by being controlled remotely or by sending a notification on a mobile phone when it’s done instead of us checking up its progress every ten minutes or so). In the past, however, laundry used to be done manually, which was not only a time consuming and tiring task, but it was also an ineffective way for the resource conservation.
  • Finding a nearby cab is now in the palm of our hands. Modern cab service providers, via their mobile applications, share the location of their cabs, in which the <em>GPS navigation system</em> (consists of GPS module and the embedded computer(s), connected with the internet). Hence, <em>without any hassle</em>, a nearby cab can be arranged and also at any time. The same applies on the most, modern bus services. Before that, one had to be physically on the road to find the cab with no surety of getting one. Now, beforehand, you can book your ride.
  • Smart door locking systems and smart security cameras inside or outside homes are able to notify the authorities or to the owners in the case of intrusion, and, thus, <em>making lives and possessions safe and secure</em>. Previously, although security cameras and locking systems were there, they couldn’t communicate with other devices (like mobile phones) remotely. A person had to be physically in the house to see the camera feed or to hear the intrusion alarm.
  • Embedded computers and the IoT is <em>revolutionising the quality of life in terms of health.</em> The IoT based smart-bands or watches can continuously monitor the blood pressure and heart rate in real time through the IoT based devices with embedded computers connected with the sensors. In the case of emergency, those IoT based devices send a notification to the emergency contacts. In the past, there was no way of checking your ECG at home—let alone the question of automatically sending ECG report to the emergency contacts.

In a nutshell, embedded computers and the IoT have impacted our daily lives in a <em>meaningful and constructive way.</em>

(2) Additional Uses

Well, this part of the question cannot be answered in a generic way; therefore, let me give you my opinion on that.

I am seeing myself using the IoT based learning devices like <em>Google Nest thermostat</em>. It uses machine learning to automatically set the optimal temperature of the home.  

  • Ease: To change the temperature, there is no need to be physically there where the thermostat is installed.
  • Saving: It automatically turns off when there is no person in the home, which is a big plus for saving some extra bucks.

Furthermore, I can see myself using the smart IoT based weight machine that would warn me to stop getting out of shape based on my weight; in the case of non-compliance, it would send my weight as a post to all of my social media accounts. ;)

(3) Security or Other Risks

The <em>privacy</em> would be the major concern (and could be compromised with the usage of IoT). As in the IoT based systems, everything is connected to the internet. Therefore, all the cybersecurity risks and issues are applied on the IoT as well.

The more IoT based devices increase in number, the more the <em>complexity</em> of handling those devices would increase, which may become a bane instead of a boon to a user.

Su Industries has international subsidiaries in Asia. These subsidiaries enter into transactions in both the US dollar and local
Savatey [412]

Answer: Increase / Gain of $36,000

Explanation:

Remeasurement loss, which arises from conversions of the various currencies used by the company to a functional currency, goes to the Income statement and is subtracted from the Net income.

Translation gains on the other hand, are added to the Other Comprehensive income.

The other comprehensive income will therefore increase by the translation gain of $36,000.

Stock A has an expected return of 8%, stock B has an expected return of 2%, and the return on Treasury-Bills is 4%. You buy $200
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The expected return of your portfolio is 6.02%

Explanation:

Stock     Value     Expected Rate of return   Weightage

  A          $200                   8%                      $200/$300 = 0.67

  B          $100                    2%                      $100/$300 = 0.33

Expected Rate of return = ( Expected rate of return Stock A x Weightage of Stock A ) + ( Expected rate of return Stock B x Weightage of Stock B )

Expected Rate of return = ( 8% x 0.667 ) + ( 2% x 0.33 )

Expected Rate of return = 0.0536 + 0.0066 = 0.0602 = 6.02%

some nations make manufacturers responsible for reducing e-waste. companies must recover used and discarded electronic equipment
Anon25 [30]

It is a very good idea if a nations make manufacturers responsible for reducing e-waste, companies must recover used and discarded electronic equipment that they sell to customers.

<h3>What is e-waste?</h3>

Electronic items that are nearing the end of their "useful life" are sometimes referred to as "e-waste." Common electronic products include computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines. Numerous of these items can be recycled, repaired, or reused. Electronic garbage, sometimes known as e-waste, refers to outdated electrical or electronic equipment. E-waste includes used electronics that are intended for recycling through material recovery, refurbishment, reuse, resale, or disposal. Because the parts used to build gadgets like laptops, cell phones, and televisions include metals and compounds known to be harmful to human health, e-waste is dangerous. Children frequently work, reside, and play in or close to e-waste recycling facilities, making them particularly susceptible to the effects of e-waste.
