Elaf is a metallurgical engineer for Zamili Steel. Zamili Steel is currently negotiating a new contract to supply Rubai sheet steel to be used to make the cores for a new design of a basic electric motor used in Rubai appliances. The specifications for the steel were written by engineers at Rubai's Research and Design Center (RDC), which is located 200 Km away from Rubais ’ Motor Production Facility (MPF) where the motor core plates will be stamped and assembled into appliance motors. The RDC specifications require UNS G10350 steel, rolled and heat treated to a minimum tensile strength of 100,000 psi. • Elaf personally knows several of the technicians who work at MPF who told Elaf that the MPF presses can only reliably handle steel with Brinell hardness numbers less than 165 (80,000 psi) without ruining the workpieces. The MPF technicians suggest to Elaf that a steel with a Brinell hardness of 160 will "work just fine" in the motor and be easier to stamp into motor plates. Should Elaf supply steel as specified by the RDC or should she follow the advice of the MPF technicians? Is there any way she can satisfy both of the RDC and MPF? Explain your answers using relevant code of ethics rules, use also your knowledge of materials science

2. Suppose there are two firms that emit pollution. The abatement cost of firm 1 is \frac{1}{2}(\theta_1 - x_1)^2 where $\theta_1$ is a constant and $x_1$ is firm 1's emissions of pollution. Likewise, the abatement cost of firm 2 is \frac{1}{2}(\theta_2 - x_2)^2. a) Determine the marginal abatement cost functions for firm 1 and firm 2 (give a mathematical description). b) Suppose we want the total emissions of pollution to be limited to $x$, and we are going to do this by placing a tax $t$ on emissions. What $t$ should we select? c) Now suppose we want $x = 0$ (we want zero pollution.) What $t$ should we select?

9. Comparing Gasoline Sales Forecasts with Moving Averages and Exponential Smoothing. With a smoothing constant of 0.2, equation (8.7) shows that the forecast for week 13 of the gasoline sales data from Table 8.1 is given by 9 = 0.2y12 + 0.8. However, the forecast for week 12 is given by 9 = 0.2y + 0.8. Thus, we could combine these two results to show that the forecast for week 13 can be written as 9 = 0.2y2 + 0.8(0.2y + 0.8) = 0.2y2 + 0.16y + 0.649. a. Making use of the fact that J = 0.2o + 0.8io and similarly for o, continue to expand the expression for 9 until it is written in terms of the past data values 2/11, o, 1/98, and the forecast for period 8, s. b. Refer to the coefficients or weights for the past values 12, 11, 10, and so on. What observation can you make about how exponential smoothing weights past data values in arriving at new forecasts? Compare methods.
