Our company must replace an obsolete machine press. We have two bids, summarized below, to consider. Machine A is depreciated using MACRS. Machine B is depreciated using SOYD. Machine A will be sold for $5000 at the end of its useful life and machine B will be sold for $10,000 at the end of its useful life. Our company uses an after-tax MARR of 12% and it falls in the 38% total income tax bracket. Our company is required to purchase one of these two machines, do nothing is not an option.

Exporting Used Batteries to Mexico
Lead is a highly toxic metal. Elevated levels of lead in the human
body have been associated with damage to many organs and tissues,
including the heart, bones,however, do not prohibit companies from
exporting used batteries to other nations where standards are lower
and enforcement is lax.
Ethics in International Business Chapter
4 141
A study conducted by reporters from The New York Times found that
about 20 percent of used vehicle and industrial batteries in the
United States were exported to Mexico in 2011, up from 6 percent in
2007. The lead is then extracted from these batteries and resold on
commodities markets. It's a booming business. Lead scrap
prices
typically a Mexican company. Some large companies are also in this
business, although they mostly try to adhere to higher standards.
One large U.S. battery company, Exide, has five recycling plants in
the United States, but it does no recycling in Mexico. According to
an Exide official, it was not in the company's.
stood at $0.42 a pound in January 2012, up frolT1 $0.05 a
pound a decade earlier. Recycling in Mexico is also a dirty
business. While Mexico does have some regulation for smelting and
recycling lead, the laws are weak by American standards, allowing
plants to release about 20 times as much as their American
equivalents. To make matters worse, enforcement is lax due to a
lack of funds. A recent government study in Mexico found that 19
out of 20 recycling plants did not have proper authorization for
importing dangerous waste, including lead batteries.
At some plants in Mexico, batteries are dismantled by men wielding
hammers and their lead smelted in furnaces whose smokestacks vent
into the air. A sample of soil collected from a schoolyard next to
one such recycling plant showed a lead level of 2,000 parts per
million, five times the limit for children's play areas in the
United States, as set by the EPA. The New York Times reporters
documented several cases of children living close to this plant and
who had elevated levels of lead in their bodies. One 4-monthold had
24.8 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood, almost two and a
half times as much as the level typically associated with serious
mental retardation.
Much of the exporting of lead batteries to Mexico is done by middle
people in the United States who buy up old batteries and then ship
them over the border to the cheapest processor,Mexican standards
and that its recycling operations in Mexico are well below current
U.S. standards for employee blood levels and substantially better
than average. 50

batteries to Mexico, but it has its own recycling plant there and

Case Discussion Questions
1. Mexico's weaker environmental regulations and lax
legal enforcement allow for higher levels of lead pollution than
would be permissible in the United States. Is it ethical for U.S.
companies to therefore engage in practices that result in higher
levels of lead pollution?
2. As seen in the case, Exide refuses to export used
batteries to Mexico. What ethical principles do you think the
company follows?
3. Johnson Controls, on the other hand, chooses to
recycle in Mexico but only under the stringent conditions of its
own plants. Which of these two companies (Johnson Controls and
Exide) is acting in an ethical manner?

A 6 year old boy with cystic fibrosis who has recurrent chest infections, and newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Adam (6 year old) boy was dignosed with cystic fibrosis soon after birth. He has recently recovered from chest infection and refusing to attend prep, due to increased fatigue. He has just recovered from his 3rd chest infection in 9 months and was hospitalized for 2 weeks. he often refuses treatments such as his daily nebuliser and physio routine.Whilst in hospital he was diagnosed with Cystic fibrosis related diabetes and the family is now learning to manage his insulin regime.
Part A Written case analysis essay
Length: 1500 words
In this essay you will analyse the case study chosen giving a brief description of the chronic condition and the presenting health issues for the person.
• Identify both the chronic disease and the presenting condition. • Succinctly describe the pathophysiology, symptoms, anatomy and physiology associated with the chronic condition and the presenting issue. • Provide a brief outline of the relevant diagnostic and ongoing tests (e.g. blood tests, vital signs, x-rays, physiotherapy), associated with the patient’s condition. • Outline two (2) potential problems (complications) associated with the chronic disease. • Briefly outline the developmental, cultural and health literacy considerations for the person in your case study. Developmental theorists have been identified in the modules on the StudyDesk, you are encouraged to use your recommended texts and library resources. • Describe three (3) priorities of nursing management for the patient’s chronic and presenting condition. These may include nursing management, and/ or pharmacological /non-pharmacological management and/ or self-management.
Part B: A patient information resource offers you, as a nurse, a method of providing information to patients and their families on various chronic conditions. The information resource that you produce for this assessment can be used as part of a professional portfolio or used within your nursing practice in a health facility to educate clients. • Describe the condition, symptoms, anatomy/ physiology behind the condition (i.e. causes) • Outline the potential tests, treatments and medications that the patient may experience in the course of managing the condition • Briefly describe three (3) management strategies e.g. options for relief of symptoms, lifestyle changes, prevention of relapse/escalation/complications. • Include a link to an additional resource on the condition that the ‘lay person’ can read or watch (i.e.: a website, YouTube video). Note these must be from reputable sources but with a patient, not medical practitioner, focus

Zach is a 5-year-old boy who recently split his chin open after tripping on the sidewalk, and he was rushed by his parents to the emergency room at a nearby hospital. Although an MRI revealed that Zach needed only stitches and some mild pain medication, his medical bill for the hospitalization and tests totaled $4,178. Zach is covered under his parents' insurance policy, which has a $200 hospital stay deductible and a coinsurance rate of 20%. His parents can therefore expect a reimbursement from the insurance company of $ _________ (Note: Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
Complete each statement that follows with the appropriate insurance term.
Zach's fall was completely unexpected and therefore insurable. This is an example of: a. Physical hazard b. fortuitous loss c. speculative risk d. morale hazard e. moral hazard It is easier for the insurance company to predict the risk associated with an entire town than to predict the risks of a given individual. This reflects the: a. law of large numbers b. principle of indemnity c. large-loss principle
Because Zach is young and has no history of medical conditions, he is a part of the: a. substandard b. preferred c. desirable class of insured.
