In preparation for your first post in this discussion, you will become familiar with the case of Perdue Farms. The specific task for this discussion is to examine this case with an eye the following subject heading in business ethics: consumer safety. The subject heading will be the specific focus of the work for the discussion.
Reflect on the way in which chickens raised in factory farms risks consumer safety. These might include bacterial contamination, the effects of antibiotics on the meat that is consumed, and the release of adrenaline, cortisone, and other chemicals resulting from the acute stress endured by factory farm animals, which then becomes part of the meat that is later consumed by humans.
Once you have completed the indicated readings and videos, reflect on the ethical theories that we have covered in the discussions thus far and identify one (deontology) that you want to apply for your analysis in your discussion post.
Also, reflect on the regulations (or lack thereof) in the factory farming industry in order to be able to examine how our nations laws affect the operations of the business. You will need to research the applicable laws on the factory farming industry.
Finally, since Perdue Farms is an American corporation, reflect on the mixed economic system in the United States in order to articulate the setting for the operations of factory farming, and then, be able to analyze the ethical actions of Perdue given this setting.
In the first part of your initial post, you will need to introduce the Perdue case within the particular subject heading of consumer safety. In this introduction, you will also need to (1) articulate the relevant characteristics of our mixed economic system and (2) present the regulations for the factory farming industry. These will provide the setting for you to be able to examine how the nations laws affect its operations.
In the second part of your initial post, present your analysis of the problem in a way that identifies which entities (Perdue as a corporation, the economic system in the USA, the regulatory control of the state, or all of these) have a role in the problem that you have presented. In your analysis, you must assess the negative effects of the interplay between business activity and consumer safety. Your focus must be an ethical analysis of this interplay, and it must be well supported by reliable and/or scholarly sources by clearly identifying the ethical theory (deontology) that you are applying in your analysis.

Ex Ante Carry trade strategies
Use currently available economic and financial information as well as the past history of the carry trade opportunities and the carry trade relating to the two currencies being analyzed in order to design a carry trade strategy for a future period starting now. Provide a detailed justification for your chosen strategy.

My own idea:
In the part 1, my teammate has calculated the Carry trade profit in past 10 years, in my part, I found the past 10-year annual growth rate of Australia and United Kingdom, then I make a chart of the difference of GDP growth rate between AUS and UK. It is very similar between GDP growth difference and carry trade profit chart. (all the charts will be uploaded as attachment part_4_draft.docx).

Structure (800 words in total):
1.Find the similar point of GDP growth difference and carry trade profit, then make assumption: the 2-country macroeconomic performance can influence the carry trade profit
2.Try to explain the reason: my own thinking is, Australias GDP growth is higher, then the interest rate will be relatively high comparing to UK, and the reserved bank will try to make exchange rate stable to keep the economic growth, then there is carry trade opportunity etc (you can use any other evidence to explain the similar chart mentioned before, please make some reference about market condition or macroeconomic analysis for UK and AUS )
3.Make a forecast and explain why carry trade strategy is available: the future GDP growth rate is provided in part_4_draft.docx, forecasted by world bank. AUS GDP growth is higher than UK, so carry trade has profit.

Appendix: What is a \’Currency Carry Trade\’, the trading strategy
A currency carry trade is a strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. A trader using this strategy attempts to capture the difference between the rates, which can often be substantial, depending on the amount of leverage used.

The book to write about is: Night By. Elie Wiesel

a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you examine clinical psychology.the following items:a minimum of two sources from peer-reviewed publications.your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Find an example of a healthcare research study which uses statistics to support its findings. (Examples of healthcare research can be found in research journals, news media, etc.)Write a 1-2 page paper in APA format addressing the following:

Consider the Smith family:

John and Jane Smith are both 25 years old. They have a three year old daughter, and don\’t plan on having any more children. Their combined after-tax income is currently $70,000/year.

They recently purchased a 2,800 square-foot, five bedroom house for $350,000. The annual cost of the mortgage payments, homeowners insurance, property taxes, expected maintenance, utilities for a large house, and expected updating and furnishing over time is an average of $31,000/year.

They have two brand new cars, a Honda Accord EX and a Honda Odyssey EX minivan. The new cars, plus required full-coverage insurance on them, costs $13,000/year.

They have $14,000 in credit card debt at high interest, 14%.

On the assets side, they have $15,000 invested in Pep Boys stock, because John was always impressed with the service and well-run stores.

John has $17,000 in his company\’s 401k, all invested in his company\’s stock. Jane has $13,000 in her company\’s 401k, all invested in her company\’s stock.

John can get into a well-respected master\’s degree program in an in-demand and lucrative profession, and he\’s researched this and found that it will likely double his lifetime earnings. Perhaps more importantly, it will increase his job security greatly, as well as his job enjoyment. But, for the two years it will take to complete the program the family\’s income will be cut in half. The tuition for the masters program can be paid for with federal government student loans that have income-based repayment.

A truck costing $25,000 with a residual value of $5,000 was purchased.  The truck\’s estimated life is 10 years.  What is the book value at the end of year 2 using the declining balance method?  Assume depreciation rate of tiwice the straight line rate.

Project description
Write about what art means to you, personally. Some of you may not have considered the place that art occupies in your life, and it may have been years since you encountered an art class. Whether you create art on a daily basis, or haven\’t given it much thought since middle school, please give an honest assessment about the role of art in your life.
