Which of the following ratios has the greatest concentration of vasoconstrictor in local anesthetic?

Note: For this exercise, you may use the provided scratch paper to perform calculations. Please write your name and G# on the top of the page and return to the proctor when you have completed the exam.   Galactica 3000, is a galaxy simulator developed by the (fictitious) computational astrophysics institute at GMU. It is used to model the evolution of galaxies. A simulation consists of two main parts: Gravitational calculations (80% of the runtime): These are parallelizable and can be sped up by adding more processors. Black hole collision predictions (20% of the runtime): Due to the complexity of interactions, this part is not parallelizable. The institute is considering purchasing a new supercomputer with 16 processors to speed up the simulation. The director asks you to evaluate the expected speedup of Galactica 3000 when run on this new hardware. Question 1: Using Amdahl’s law, calculate the theoretical speedup of the simulation on the 16-processor supercomputer. Question 2: Suppose the engineers manage to improve the code so that 95% of the runtime becomes parallelizable. Recalculate the theoretical speedup for this improved version. Question 3: The director wants the simulation to run 10× faster than the current version. Is it possible with the 16-processor supercomputer? If not, how much of the program must be parallelizable to achieve this goal?

Who is responsible for collecting tariffs?

Use the following graph to answer the questions below: The autonomous consumption in this scenario is $[1]. The marginal propensity to consume in this scenario is [2].  The complete consumption function for this graph would be: C = [3] + [4]($4000) = $3,500

The USDA has used the commodity loan rate mechanism since the early 1930’s to support prices for commodities such as corn, wheat, and cotton. The loan rate serves as a [answer1] to the participating farmers. The [agency] acts as a purchasing agent for the federal government in this program.

The United States is consistently a net [1] of agricultural goods. The U.S. is a net [2] of goods overall.

In the Pacific Northwest, lumber is a major industry. The lumber can be sold as-is to consumers, or it can be made into things like new homes, or furniture. Which of the following would be true?

When considering GDP you need to take into account net exports which are [1] minus [2]. In the United States, this number currently has a(n) [3] impact on our GDP because the United States is a [4].
