Two boys are sliding toward each other on a frictionless, ice-covered parking lot. Jacob, mass 45 kg, is gliding to the right at 7.95 m/s, and Ethan, mass 31.0 kg, is gliding to the left at 10.9 m/s along the same line. When they meet, they grab each other and hang on. (a) What is their velocity immediately thereafter? magnitude m/s direction (b) What fraction of their original kinetic energy is still mechanical energy after their collision? % (c) That was so much fun that the boys repeat the collision with the same original velocities, this time moving along parallel lines 1.02 m apart. At closest approach, they lock arms and start rotating about their common center of mass. Model the boys as particles and their arms as a cord that does not stretch. Find the velocity of their center of mass. magnitude m/s direction (d) Find their angular speed. rad/s (e) What fraction of their original kinetic energy is still mechanical energy after they link arms? % (f) Why are the answers to parts (b) and (e) so different? This answer has not been graded yet.

It is late June, and Sandra, head of operations at Mintendo, and Bill, head of sales of We “R” Toys, are about to get together to discuss production and marketing plans for the next six months.  Mintendo is the manufacturer of the popular Game Girl hand-held electronic game that is sold exclusively through We “R” Toys retail stores.  The second half of the year is critical to Game Girl’s success, because a majority of its sales occur during the holiday shopping period.

Sandra is worried about the impact that the upcoming holiday surge in demand will have on her production line.  Costs to subcontract assembly of the Game Girls are expected to increase, and she has been trying to keep costs down given that her bonus depends on the level of production costs.

Bill is worried about competing toy stores gaining share during the Christmas buying season.  He has seen many companies lose their share by failing to keep prices in line with the performance of their products.  He would like to maximize the Game Girl market share.

Both Sandra and Bill’s teams produce the following joint forecast of demand for the next six months:

We “R” Toys sells Game Girls for $50 apiece.  At the end of June, the company has an inventory of 50,000 Game Girls.  Capacity of the production facility is set purely by the number of workers assembling the Game Girls.  At the end of June, the company has a workforce of 299 employees, each of whom works eight hours of regular time (non-overtime) at $15/hour for 20 days each month.  Work rules require that no employee work more than 40 hours of overtime per month.  The various costs are shown below:

Sandra, concerned about controlling costs during the periods of surging demand over the holidays, proposes to Bill that the price be lowered by $5 for the month of September.  This would likely increase September’s demand by 50 percent due to new customers being attracted to Game Girl.  Additionally, 30 percent of each of the following two months of demand would occur in September as forward buys.  She believes strongly that this leveling of demand will help the company.

Bill counters with the idea of offering the same promotion in November, during the heart of the buying season.  In this case, the promotion increases November’s demand by 50 percent due to new customers being attracted to Game Girl.  Additionally, 30 percent of December’s demand would occur in November as forward buying. Bill wants to increase revenue and sees no better way to do this than to offer a promotion during the peak season.

Question: Which option delivers the maximum profit for the supply chain:  Sandra’s plan, Bill’s plan, or no promotion plan at all? An Excel file of the S&OP model supporting your conclusion must be submitted to the drop box.

HIgh-income people are willing to pay more than lower-income people to avoid the risk of death. For example. they are more likely to pay for safety features on cars. Do you think cost-benefit analysis should take this fact into account when evaluating public projects? consider, for instance, a rich town and a poor town, both of which are considering the installation of a traffic light. should the rich town use higher dollar value for a human life in making this decision? why or why not?

Assume that the (daily) demand (measured in hours of work) of unskilled labor in a particular town is given by D(w) = 60 − w, where w denotes the hourly wage rate. The supply of unskilled labor at the same location is given by S(w) = 3w − 12. (a) What is the competitive market equilibrium wage for unskilled labor in this town? (b) Plot the demand and supply curves on the same graph, having wages on the vertical axis and hours of work (that is, labor) on the horizontal axis. (c) Explain what would be the effect (if any) of a $20 per hour minimum wage in this market. What happens to the market demand and market supply of labor? Identify who benefits and who loses from such measure and by how much. What can you say about the society as a whole: is it better or worse off (and by how much)?

Draw a new graph and mark everything clearly on it. Please show all works and draw graph.

Fountain View Hospice is an inpatient hospice that has an EHR. Because of a hurricane, the town, including the hospice, was flooded. Patients had to be evacuated, and the data center was underwater. The hospice backs up its files daily, and the files are stored at a vendor site across town. The vendor’s office was unaffected by the flood, so the backup files are safe. The vendor does not have the EHR application. The floodwaters have receded, and the building is undergoing renovations. The vendor has stated that there is no way to recreate their application and so full implementation of the EHR will be necessary and could take a year or more. In the meantime, the hospice will have to operate using paper health records. The hospice will have to pay to select and implement the new information system as well as manage the paper health record.

1. What else could the hospice have done to prevent having to completely reimplement the EHR?

2. Are there other issues that could have been addressed to help prevent this?

A random sample of elementary school children in New York state is to be selected to estimate the proportion p p who have received a medical examination during the past year.
