  • Explain the market equilibrating process in relation to your experience

    $7.50

    Understanding how market equilibrium is maintained is essential for business managers. As a manager, it is important to understand how economic principles, and specifically supply and demand, are a part of your everyday business decisions.

    For this assignment, relate the concepts of the market equilibrating process in the Weeks One and Two readings and learning activities to a prior real-world experience occurring in a free market. The experience does not necessarily have to be work related.

    Explain the market equilibrating process in relation to your experience. Include academic research to support your ideas.

    Consider the following components in your explanation:

    • ·  Law of demand and the determinants of demand
    • ·  Law of supply and the determinants of supply
    • ·  Efficient markets theory
    • ·  Surplus and shortage

    Use University of Phoenix Material: Appendix A to create graphs illustrating the equilibrating process in price relation to the shift in supply and demand.

    Deliver the content as a 350- to 500-word paper, 7- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, 2- to 3-minute video, or 1-page comic strip illustration.

    Format your citations and references consistent with APA guidelines. Because this assignment is a personal reflection, use first-person pronouns when applicable.

    5. Are open ports necessarily a risk? Why or why not?
    6. When you identify known software vulnerability, where can you go to assess the risk impact of the software vulnerability?
    7. If Nessus provides a pointer in the vulnerability assessment scan report to look up CVE-2009-3555 when using the CVE search listing, specify what this CVE is, what the potential exploits are, and assess the severity of the vulnerability?
    8. Explain how the CVE search listing can be a tool for security practitioners and a tool for hackers?
