For the areas selected, you are required to investigate and provide critical analysis of the categories and components within. To support your investigation, be sure to submit at least one case study or peer-reviewed literature that has applied your selected revenue cycle area.

Investments are based on the belief that the rate of return justifies or compensates the investor for the risk associated with that particular investment. The risk associated with this investment is associated with the chance that a loss will be incurred. Or, to put it another way, the greater the chance of a loss the riskier the investment. Therefore, some statistical measures of the risk involved with an investment are necessary before the investment is made. Address all of the following questions in a brief but thorough manner. What is the Expected Rate of Return on investment and what does it tell us about the probability of the risk involved with a particular investment? How could the required rate of return of investment be estimated? In terms of risk, what are the advantages (and/or disadvantages) of a well-diversified portfolio? The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize at least the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response. Your posting should be the equivalent of 1 to 2 single-spaced pages (500–1000 words) in length. For more information on Rate of Return read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_return

Monetary Policy: What works? Monetary policy by the Federal Reserve is important for the US economy. However, economists disagree about several aspects of Federal Reserve decision-making powers including the composition of the Federal Reserve committees, Federal Reserve goals, and the actual impact of Federal Reserve of policy on the economy.  Should the Federal Reserve Board focus exclusively on the problem of inflation? What other goals are appropriate for Federal Reserve policy? What is the appropriate goal for the inflation rate? How should the Federal Reserve Board use its policy to achieve its goals? How effective is the Federal Reserve monetary policy in achieving its goals? Is the composition of the decision-making bodies of the Federal Reserve appropriate for a democracy? In a 4-6 page paper answer the questions asked above.  Resources: For information from the Federal Reserve Board itself, go to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.federalreserve.gov/ The Board of Governors site contains the Fed’s Beige Book, Congressional testimony and speeches of Federal Reserve Board members, Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) information, press releases, current interest rate information, and general information about the Federal Reserve System. A PDF-format version of The Federal Reserve System: Purposes and Functions, a thorough overview of the Federal Reserve System, is available by chapter or as a single document.  In addition, the site contains a summary of Federal Reserve regulations. Particularly useful is the publication, “Purposes and Functions of the Federal Reserve System” at http://www.federalreserve.gov/pf/pf.htm and, “Monetary Policy: An Introduction” http://www.frbsf.org/publications/federalreserve/monetary/index.html For more information on Monetary Policy read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_policy

Evaluate the historical relationship between unemployment and inflation. (hint: You may start from A.W. Phillips’s finding of the relationship between unemployment and inflation.)Distinguish between the short-run and the long-run in macroeconomic analysis. Why is the relationship between unemployment and inflation different in the short-run and the long-run? Assess the recent 20-year U.S. unemployment and inflation data. Do the current U.S. unemployment and inflation data confirm the short-run Phillips curve? Analyze why the recent 20-year U.S. unemployment and inflation data approves or disproves the short-run Phillips curve. Evaluate whether the Phillips curve can still validly resolve today’s issue of unemployment and inflation and forecast unemployment and inflation. Why or why not? Recommend any policy, method, or opinions for the current U.S. unemployment and inflation as a policymaker for either fiscal policy or monetary policy (or both).

There is a constant debate on whether the Federal minimum wage should be raised to $15, this topic has the power to affect political, social, and economic issues in our society.  To conclude whether the minimum wage should be raised or lowered this paper will focus on the positive and negative arguments brought up by the majority on the impacts of raising the Federal Minimum Wage. It is important to understand: what states have adopted the legislation and what were the effects that rose from the increase, what have economists and politicians said on the impact on businesses and workers (unemployment rate), will there be economic growth? – misconceptions cause citizens to not believe in reality due to the fame these politicians have. The people of America are fed a lot of exaggerated information and the consequences make the poor, poorer. Which leads to what is the fundamental reason to raise the minimum wage? What type of consequences will low income families go through? Is there a significant disparity in the distribution of income?
