Students will engage in a critical analysis of leadership theory and practice, based on readings from the first two weeks of class. My primary concern with this analysis paper is that students engage materials in ways that demonstrate at least three dimensions: first, students should demonstrate strong engagement with theories and concepts from the book chapters and readings; second, students should engage these materials critically (what is working, what is not; what are strengths and what are limitations), and third, students should feel free to explore a variety of ideas that relate to change (what does thinking outside the box really look like?).

Readings from the Sections I and II will be used for this paper.

These somewhat broad instructions for paper one are intended to give students great latitude in how they approach the assignment: critical analysis structure, compare and contrast dominate theories, development of an innovative leadership approach, etc.

Make sure that the paper has a well-developed structure and engages reading materials from this class. One of the biggest challenges for students is creating their own analytic structure with a clear purpose or goal. The structure or organization of the paper should include:
1.Introduction that: a) establishes interest, b) establishes the topic of focus, c) provides a clear thesis statement (goal or purpose followed by a brief justification of its importance), and d) a preview of central points or organization of the body of the paper.
2.In the body of the paper, students should think of each first sentence of a paragraph as a “mini-thesis” that establishes the goal or direction of the paragraph. This first sentence is often an argument, position, or strong “stand alone” statement. By stand-alone statement I mean an idea that makes sense on its own.
3.Conclusion–summarized key ideas (sometimes this is a summary of key points learned, or suggests directions for future analysis).

Respond to any one of the three exam questions assigned by your facilitator. Make sure you use the APA 6th edition style guidelines. Reference from 2010 to Present.

1. Your 45-year-old male had been diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome many years ago and now has recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. He is concerned that he may have had high blood sugars before this recent diagnosis. Based upon your knowledge of the pathophysiology of Type 2 DM, what would you tell your patient with respect to the development of Type 2 DM overtime? What pathophysiologic changes take place in the patient’s blood vessels over time?
2. Your 55-year-old female patient has had Type 2 DM for 20 years and she has questions about diet control of her blood sugars. She tells you that she does not eat “sugar” but reports that after eating she notes that her blood sugars elevate dramatically. Discuss how you would explain to the patient the reason for her post prandial blood sugar spikes even if she does not eat “sugar” at each meal.
3. Your 49-year-old patient is interested in knowing how her HgbA1C helps indicate how well controlled her blood sugars have been over time. What would you tell her about how often this test needs to be performed and how the level goes up and down?

Chapter 4: Consumer Behavior/Budget Line

 

1) A consumer has $400 (budget) to spend  on goods X and Y. The market prices of these two goods are Px=$20 and Py=$50

 

1. a) What is the market rate of substitution (slope of budget line) between good X and good Y
2. b) Illustrate/write the consumer’s budget line in a carefully labeled diagram
3. c) On the same diagram, show how the consumer’s budget line changes if income increases to $600
4. d) If the price of good X increases to $40 and income (budget) is $400, how the does the budget line change? Show it on separate diagram identifying the old and new budget line.
5. e) Write the regression equation of for the consumer’s budget line (Y) after price increase.

 

Answer:

1. a) MRS=-PX/PY=-20/50=-0.4 (slope of budget line)

 

1. b) Find max of Good X=M/Px=400/20=20

Good Y max=M/Py=400/50=8

 

Good X max= x axis (20)

Good Y max= y axis (8)

 

1. c) Right shift of the budget line with new income/budget (600 dollars)

 

Find Good X max=600/20=30

Find Good Y max=600/50= 12

 

Good X max= x axis (30)

Good Y max= y axis (12)

 

1. d) Remember the rule: Price increase in good X rotates the budget line clock wise; price decrease in good X rotates it counter-clockwise (refer to course slides).

 

Max Good X changes due to price increase

 

Good X max= M/Px= 400/40=10

 

1. e) Remember the rule: Regression equation of the budget line is:

Y=(M/Py)-(Px/Py)X

Therefore, Y after price increase=Y=(M/Py)-(Px/Py)X

 

New price of X is 40

 

y= (400/50)-(40/50)X

y=8-0.8X

 

Remember the rules: Change income versus Change in Price

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another example: Figure below illustrates an increase in the price of good X from $5 to $10. See how the budget line rotates clockwise (Note that X and Y are maximum amount consumed). With an increase in the price of Good X (relative to Y) leads to less consumption of good X. Max consumption drops from 50 units of good X  to 25 units of good X.

 

 

 

2)  End of Chapter 4 textbook:  Consumer has $400 (budget) to spend  on goods X and Y. The market prices of these two goods are Px=$10 and Py=$40

1. a) What is the market rate of substitution (slope of budget line) between good X and good Y
2. b) Illustrate/write the consumer’s budget line in a carefully labeled diagram
3. c) On the same diagram, explain how the consumer’s budget line changes if income increases by $400. How does the $400 increase in income alter the market rate of substitution between good X and good Y?
   1. The market rate of substitution is .
   2. See Figure 4-1.

 

Remember the rule: Regression equation of the budget line is:

Y=(M/Py)-(Px/Py)X

 

Y=(400/40)-(10/40)X

 

Y=10-2.5X

 

1. Increasing income to $800 (income increases by $400) expands the budget set, as shown in Figure. Budget line shifts to the right. However, since the slope is unchanged, so is the market rate of substitution.
