The polling organization Ipsos conducted telephone surveys in March of 2004, 2005 and 2006. In each year, 1001 people age 18 or older were asked about whether they planned to use a credit card to pay federal income taxes that year. The data are given in the accompanying table. Is there evidence that the proportion falling in the three credit card response categories is not the same for all three years? Test the relevant hypotheses using a .05 significance level. (Use 2 decimal places.)

The assumption that a system will operate in a stable environment without risk is not realistic (Sales et al., 2018). Risk is widely classified into disruption and operational risks (Kleindorfer & Saad, 2005; Tang, 2006). Extreme uncertainty and the absence of synchronization between supply and demand are linked to operational risks while circumstances such as labor strikes, terrorist attacks, and natural calamities are related to disruption risks (Lockamy & McCormack, 2010). The probability of human injury or even death is high in disruptions such as multi-casualty disasters which brings about the challenge of increased pressure on healthcare. Healthcare institutions are required to become capable of understanding and adapting to environmental changes to mitigate such unexpected changes. These unexpected changes can affect the competitiveness, responsiveness and operating procedures of a firm significantly (Huang, Yen, & Liu, 2014), and for healthcare institutions, the economic well-being and reputation of the nation as well.

There is a growing need for healthcare institutions to develop responsiveness (Tolf, Nyström, Tishelman, Brommels, & Hansson, 2015; Vissers, Bertrand, & De Vries, 2001). However, the responsiveness of healthcare systems remains a complex, distinct and still not adequately investigated concept (Brinkerhoff & Bossert, 2013; Cleary, Molyneux, & Gilson, 2013; Gilson, Palmer, & Schneider, 2005; Siddiqi et al., 2009). Responsive healthcare systems anticipate and adjust to meet evolving requirements, exploiting opportunities to enhance access to effective interventions and to enhance health services (Hanefeld, Powell-Jackson, & Balabanova, 2017; Lodenstein, Dieleman, Gerretsen, & Broerse, 2013), ultimately resulting in improvements in outcomes of healthcare (Allotey, Davey, & Reidpath, 2014; Smith, Mossialos, Papanicolas, & Leatherman, 2009). A better understanding of healthcare responsiveness is particularly important for many nations with low and medium incomes such as Ghana, where economic and social development is rapidly advancing.

Nevertheless, responsiveness always implies that a flexible central system exists (More & Babu, 2008). Flexibility is required to respond quickly to the rapidly changing unique patient needs and demands (Aronsson, Abrahamsson, & Spens, 2011; Peltokorpi, Torkki, & Lillrank, 2011). Flexibility remains an expensive and challenging capability to develop and incorporate in any system completely. Identifying the right flexibility capabilities to develop can efficiently improve responsiveness to meet changing needs and demands of healthcare patients (Aronsson et al., 2011; Peltokorpi et al., 2011). Moreover, flexible scheduling and resources can help healthcare institutions respond more effectively to their patients by better matching the variable demand for care with the supply of physical resources such as beds, pharmaceutical, people and space required (Chen, Zhou, Ma, & Pham, 2011; Laker, Froehle, Lindsell, & Ward, 2014). Researchers have asserted that flexibility can be proactively employed as well to create a competitive advantage for a business (Chang, Yang, Cheng, & Sheu, 2003; Ettlie & Penner-Hahn, 2008; D. M. Upton, 2008). Profitable flexibility applications have been demonstrated in various ways: by the National Bicycle Industrial Company (Moffat, 1990), and by the General Motors ' Lordstown factory experiment (Kasarda and Rondinelli, 1998). Flexibility is clearly of the utmost significance (J. H. M. Manders, Caniëls, & Ghijsen, 2017) to the responsiveness of healthcare institutions, the economy, patient satisfaction and yet significant amount of existing literature focuses on the manufacturing sector (Chang, Chen, Lin, Tien, & Sheu, 2006; Jack & Raturi, 2002; Koste, Malhotra, & Sharma, 2004), with little or no attention to the service sector..

However, understanding the impact of specific flexibility capabilities and their application is critical to organizations as flexibility is expensive to implement; hence any investment in flexibility based on wrongly considered competences might be (Gerwin, 2008; Narasimhan, Talluri, & Das, 2004). There is also a paucity of studies concerning flexibility capabilities relating to operations of healthcare institutions. The quality of care and satisfaction with health facilities have been seen in most research as the perfect measure of assessing health systems performance. However, the WHO suggests responsiveness as a better measure of the performance of health systems (NB Valentine et al., 2003). Healthcare institutions are challenged by many sources of uncertainty in the supply chain and at an operational level. Though supply chain and operations flexibilities have the potential to promote the resilience and responsiveness of healthcare institutions, the scarcity of the literature in this respect makes this study worthwhile. As a result of limited literature at present, little knowledge exists on the extent to which supply chain and operations flexibilities individually promote responsiveness, or impact customer satisfaction, particularly within the service sector in Ghana.

Question 3

Read the following three statements and then answer the question below.

• In 2019, the UK lost its ‘measles-free’ status.
• The basic reproduction number for measles (R0) is given as between 12 and 18, in different studies.
• The immunisation rate in the UK for measles dipped to a low point in 2003 to 80% coverage and since then has risen to 91% in 2019.

Question 5

1. Your friend is suffering from a fever and respiratory symptoms. She visits her GP and requests antibiotics. Explain why antibiotics may not be appropriate for her infection.
2. Describe the effects of the overuse of antibiotics on the bacterial population in humans.
3. In order to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections some GPs now use a rapid point-of-care (POC) test for levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Explain the role of CRP in the immune response and its relevance to use in this test.
4. In a hospital setting, treatment with antibiotics is a risk factor for infection with Clostridium difficile. Explain why Clostridium difficile is commonly acquired in hospitals.

Explain, using calculations, the causal link between these three statements and briefly discuss whether there is any prospect of the UK regaining its ‘measles-free’ status in the next 5 years.

Question 6

1. The cytokine IFNγ is produced by Th1 cells. Outline three different functions of IFNγ in inflammation and/or the immune response.
2. Name one cytokine that is produced specifically by Th2 cells and state what effect it has on its target cell(s).
3. What advantage is there for the host in having two distinct patterns of immune response, controlled by Th1 and Th2 cells?

Question:
Consider a project to supply your church with 55,000 gallons of hand sanitizer annually for church services. You estimate that you will need an initial Gh¢4,200,000 in terms of investment to get the project started. The project will last for 5 years.
The project will bring in annual cash flows of Gh¢1,375,000. It also estimates a salvage value of Gh¢300,000 after dismantling costs.
Your cost of capital is 13 percent. Assume no taxes or depreciation.
Required:

(a) What is the NPV of the sanitizer project? Should you pursue this project?

b) Suppose you believe that there is a best case scenario where initial investment could be 15% lower with salvage value and revenue being 10% higher, what would be the NPV under this scenario?

c) In the worst case scenario, you expect annual cash inflows to be 10% lower, salvage value to be 12% lower and initial investment to be 10% higher. Calculate the NPV under this worst case scenario. Would you still pursue the project?

d) You just received additional information that suggests that your base case (answer to a), best case (b) and worst case (c) scenarios have probabilities of 0.35, 0.35 and 0.30 respectively. What will be the expected NPV of the sanitizer project. What about the standard deviation of the sanitizer project? Do you think the project is still viable?
