With the increase in multinational corporations, many American citizens are interacting more and more with different cultures in other countries. Imagine that you and a partner have set up a multinational corporation that operates in the global economy. Select a country and use the Internet to research its culture in relation to business protocol. Use the information to create a report that lists procedures and key words your employees will need to know in order to properly conduct business in the country. Share your findings with the members of your class.

If you were planning to open your own business, such as a sportswear store or a lawn service, which form of business organization would you prefer—sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation? Give reasons for your answer. To help you organize your response, begin by setting up a diagram like the one in the example.

Cite a case in your community where a cooperative would fulfill a definite economic need. Explain why you think so, and then tell what kind of cooperative you would set up.

Using your notes from the graphic organizer activity , explain how mergers improve efficiency.

Using your notes from the graphic organizer activity, describe the different types of cooperatives.

Study the table given in the task. Then answer the question:

What is the net income for each of the three years listed? How did you find the answer?

Using your notes from the graphic organizer activity, describe the different types of cooperatives.

Escoge dos problemas del medio ambiente y presenta tus predicciones para cada uno. Usa expresiones como a menos que, con tal (de) que o hasta que.

Modelo:

El problema de la deforestación es muy grave. Hasta que todos los problemas protejan intensamente sus bosques, el calentamiento global va a continuar y muchos animales van a estar en peligro de extinción...

What is the key concept for this section? Describe three ways of estimating the sizes of fish populations and list their limitations. How can the precautionary principle be applied in managing fisheries and large marine systems? What are catch-share and comanagement systems and how can they help to sustain fisheries? How can government subsidies encourage overfishing? Explain how consumer choices can help to sustain fisheries and aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem services. List five ways to manage global fisheries more sustainably.

Coordination of policy and the global economy: Think about a free market where the real exchange rate is constant and set at 1. Taxes, government spending, investment, and consumption are all determined by

$$C=10+0.8(Y-T), I=10, G=10, \text { and } T=10$$

Imports and exports are given by

$$I M=0.3 Y \text { and } X=0.3 Y^*$$

where Y* denotes foreign output. Why is it challenging to establish in practise fiscal coordination, such as the common growth in G and G* in the preceding part?

Use a graphing calculator or a CAS to plot the graph of each of the following functions on [-1,7]. Determine the coordinates of any global extrema and any inflection points. You should be able to give answers that are accurate to at least one decimal place. (a) $f(x)=x \sqrt{x^2-6 x+40}$ (b) $f(x)=\sqrt{|x|}\left(x^2-6 x+40\right)$ (c) $f(x)=\sqrt{x^2-6 x+40} /(x-2)$ (d) $f(x)=\sin \left[\left(x^2-6 x+40\right) / 6\right]$

Acid rain, rainwater that has a lower-than-normal pH, can have a severe negative impact on the plant and animal life in a region. What are the main components of acid rain? Research the sources of these components and what steps are currently in place to improve the pH of rainwater. Explain why acid rain is considered a regional problem, whereas ozone depletion is considered a global problem. What negative effects of acid rain are observed in your town or region?

The table gives the gross world product, G, which measures global output of goods and services. If t is in years since 1950, the regression line for these data is $G=3.543+0.734 t$.

$$\begin{array}{|c|ccccccc|} \hline \text { Year } & {1950} & {1960} & {1970} & {1980} & {1990} & {2000} \\ \hline G & {6.4} & {10.0} & {16.3} & {23.6} & {31.9} & {43.2} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Interpret the slope of the line in terms of gross world product.

How much do human activities contribute to methane emissions?

Why was more natural gas produced in $2005$ than in $2000$ ?

Why is methane considered a factor in rising global temperatures?

How are beef and gas production related to the levels of methane in the atmosphere?

How much beef did people consume each year from $2000$ to $2015$?
