We worked on his economics discussion about economic indicators. We went to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) web site and pulled up several graphs of such indicators as unemployment, participation rate, housing starts, the federal deficit as a percentage of GDP, the historical national debt from 1933 to 2015, etc.
We did three practice quizzes and one quiz covering chapters 1-3. Most of it was basic economic concepts with a bit of review of microeconomics concepts.
We completed the discussion post for last week, and noticed that his teacher put up a midterm for this week. We will work on that the rest of this week.
We worked on his finance discussion about deciding whether to finance a company mainly dependent with intellectual assets such as Microsoft with debt or equity. Bill Gates apparently said because their company was based on intellectual assets, it could go out of business within 90 days.
