Lon Timur is an accounting major at a midwestern state university located approximately 60 miles from a major city. Many of the students attending the university are from the metropolitan area and visit their homes regularly on the weekends. Lon, an entrepreneur at heart, realizes that few good commuting alternatives are available for students doing weekend travel. He believes that a weekend commuting service could be organized and run profitably from several suburban and downtown shopping mall locations. Lon has gathered the following investment information.

1.Five used vans would cost a total of $75,920 to purchase and would have a 3-year useful life with negligible salvage value. Lon plans to use straight-line depreciation.

2.Ten drivers would have to be employed at a total payroll expense of $48,700.

3.Other annual out-of-pocket expenses associated with running the commuter service would include Gasoline $16,100, Maintenance $3,200, Repairs $4,300, Insurance $4,000, and Advertising $2,500.

4.Lon has visited several financial institutions to discuss funding. The best interest rate he has been able to negotiate is 15%. Use this rate for cost of capital.

5.Lon expects each van to make ten round trips weekly and carry an average of six students each trip. The service is expected to operate 30 weeks each year, and each student will be charged $12 for a round-trip ticket.

a. Determine the annual (1) net income and (2) net annual cash flows for the commuter service. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

b. Compute (1) the cash payback period and (2) the annual rate of return. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.)

c. Compute the net present value of the commuter service. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

You are the manager of a new primary care clinic located about twenty five (25) miles outside of a small city (population of 50,000). With five (5) family physicians, two (2) nurse practitioners, two (2) physicians’ assistants (PAs), and twenty (20) clinical support staff consisting of RNs, LPNs, and CMAs, the clinic provides primary care services to a diverse community of people living and working outside the city limits. Originally a rural area, the community has been growing and now includes promising opportunities in employment, education, and comfortable living spaces for young families. However, there are still many residents who struggle to make ends meet with older farms that have belonged to families for generations. The central city includes two (2) large acute care facilities, and one (1) tertiary care facility that is known for its excellent pulmonary care. Both acute care hospitals provide the usual services such as labor and delivery, outpatient surgery, chronic diseases care, etc. and have fully equipped ancillary departments, such as lab and radiology. Up until this point, the residents have used the facilities’ emergency departments for routine illnesses and conditions when their private physicians were not readily available. Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you: Analyze some of the key social, political, and economic factors that have led to the proliferation of urgent care facilities and primary care practices over the last 20-30 years. Create a comprehensive mission statement for the clinic, and discuss how it will facilitate the provision of quality services. Analyze and discuss one (1) or more directions the clinic might take to grow its business. Determine what factors you would consider when deciding what services to provide in-house and which ones to affiliate with other institutions. Decide how you will determine if the clinic is meeting its goals. Identify three (3) performance measurements you could use to evaluate the success of the clinic’s services. Begin by naming a goal, and then identify a quantifiable measurement you could use for each to determine if you are coming close or falling short of the goal. Determine how you would then address whatever opportunities for improvement seem to exist and what processes you would put in place. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements: Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The closest star to our own, approximately 4.2 light-years away or 25 trillion miles, is the red-dwarf, Proxima Centauri. This low-mass star is about 12% the mass of our Sun, however, a planet has been observed rotating around this red-dwarf star called Proxima c. This exoplanet is approximately 1.3 times the size of earth and appears to have a rocky terrain. Because of its rotation,Proxima c would have approximately 22 Earth days between sunrises and the surface temperature would beapproximately -40C. Evidence of both atmospheric and liquid water on the surface has been observed. Because of the closeness of this planet to the Proxima Centauri, the planet is flooded with 400x more radiation than Earth and a solar wind pressure 2000x that experienced on Earth. Due to these factors, the inhabitants of this planet would most likely live underground and would only venture above ground for resources. They would be bipedal humanoids, resembling humans in their anatomy and physiology. However, considering the differences between Proxima c and Earth, there will be adaptations that would ensure their survival on Proxima c driven by the process of natural selection.

Analysis:

Using this information, you should describe and justify one adaptation to the nervous system that this organism wouldhave to inhabit Proxima c.  This analysis should include the following:  

• Description of the physiology of the human nervous system (refer to your textbook).

• An explanation of how the environment of Proxima cmay affect the functioning of the human nervous system and special senses.

• Propose an adaptation to the human nervous system the Proxima c humanoid would have to compensate for the environment.

o The adaptation can be based on changes in a human organ to make it work more efficiently on Proxima c or can be an organ that is not found in the human nervous system.

• The proposal should include justification as to why that particular adaption would benefit the humanoid more than any other adaptation to the nervous system.

o Justifications should be based on known scientific principles and research.

• Describe how this change or new organ would enable the humanoid to function better on this planet than on Earth.

• Use reliable sources and identify the relevant

There isn't a right answer but just looking for advice on how to start with the analysis

The port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest bulk cargo port in the world. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that the port handles a mean of 4.5 million tons of cargo per week.† Assume that the number of tons of cargo handled per week is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.89 million tons.

What is the probability that the port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(b)

What is the probability that the port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(c)

What is the probability that the port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(d)

Assume that 87% of the time the port can handle the weekly cargo volume without extending operating hours. What is the number of tons of cargo per week that will require the port to extend its operating hours? (Round your answer to one decimal places.)

An automobile manufacturer claims that their van has a 45.9 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van. After testing 11 vans they found a mean MPG of 45.7 with a variance of 2.89. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.025 level that the vans underperform the manufacturer's MPG rating? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal.
