You have inherited (entirely unexpectedly) $20 million in cash. You have hired a financial adviser to assist you in building a portfolio to generate income as well as to accumulate wealth. You like art, so you have also hired an art adviser to assist you in building a portfolio of fine art pieces.
Understandably, perhaps, your two advisers are in conflict with regard to the proportion of your new-found wealth you should allocate to fine art.
You are tasked with writing a memo (in essay format) explaining your strategy to the two principals. Being an economist, you will wish to use economic logic, and academic references, to justify your decisions. You should explain the following: the proportion of your portfolio that you have decided to allocate to fine art (this is aimed at the financial adviser) and the type(s) of art that you wish to collect (this is aimed at the art adviser).
THE ABOVE ARE THE TOPIC INSTRUCTIONS. I will send you a docx file with all the readings you can use for academic references, so please do not use any outside sources. You can use any citation format. My only requirement for this assignment is that you need to average 3 citations from the headline “required readings to use” and at least for 4 citations from the headline “standard readings to use”. Both of the headlines are included in the mentioned docx file. Most importantly, this memo needs to sound persuasive and empirically motivational in terms of economics. Please don’t use any outside sources.

Supply and Demand Discussion
7575 unread replies.7575 replies.
Please think of an example from everyday life of an event that caused either the supply or the demand for a product to increase or decrease (please only shift one curve). Please take the time to think of a straightforward (easy) example; it will work much better. Once you have your example, please complete the following steps for your discussion post:
write a short description of the event explaining if it caused the supply curve OR the demand to shift and in which direction (increase or decrease)
explain how the shift affected the quantity and price in the market for the product.
draw a graph showing:
the original supply and demand curves
the original equilibrium point
the original quantity and price (q1 and p1 are fine – you don’t need to add real prices or quantities)
how the curve shifted (right or left)
the new equilibrium point
the new quantity and price (q2 and p2 are fine)
*don’t forget to label both axes
**Hand-drawn graphs are totally fine. Please just take a picture and upload it to the discussion board.
**Videos are also great if you want to upload one.
**Please don’t forget to post a thoughtful comment to at least one of your classmate’s posts.
How to Embed Your Graph in Your Response

Presentation :
take 5 specific indicators, find out what values there are and how it is recorded, discuss validity and usefulness, conclude on whether one can truly base policy on these indicators.
Present 10 minutes: what is our SDG and it supposed relevance, what are the 5 specific indicators we chose. For each of the 5: what are the values, how was it measured, how are they used, how easy are they to manipulate, can policy making be based on them
Report : answer the following questions:
1.
How the first 5 indicators in that goal are actually measured: how
are they defined and who did the measurement?
2.
Argue in what way these 5 indicators do or do not really measure the broad goal
(are they a good measure?).
3.
Are any of these 5 used as KPIs for any particular specific
organisation or leader in Saudi Arabia? What are the rewards or punishments for
meeting/failing the KPIs?
4.
Argue how an organisation/leader could ‘game’ these measures.
5. Is
there any country that truly uses these measures to reward or punish particular
policy
makers or institutions (try to find out)? If so, detail them and what they do.
If not, argue the likely reasons for this not happening.
6.
Taking the material of the course into consideration, give an overall
assessment of whether SDGs are of any real use in policy making in KSA, and if
so, how. If not, what is the whole publicity regarding SDGs about.
•The report to be handed in cannot be more
than 20 pages, font 11.
Some examples of obvious cheating:
•The use of references (x, 2020) that have
nothing to do with the paragraph or sentence involved. •Pretending to have done some interview
with an individual but showing no details that can be tracked and no influence
of that interview.

Why is knowing (or estimating) the product demand so crucial for a firm? What are the differences between estimating and forecasting demand? In your response, include an example of a business that has suffered from poorly forecasting the demand of its products. Evaluate how or why the business made such a mistake.
