Dr. Carlos submitted a proposal to conduct an alcohol tolerance study with mice. He will have to inject mice with alcohol and then test them. Dr. Carlos has decided to euthanize the mice at the end of the study. He also wishes someone to volunteer the use of their pet for this research in return for some monetary compensation. Discuss: What ethical and safety issues might arise when conducting such a study? What do you think the institutional review board at Dr. Carlos' university will be most concerned about? Explain at least three areas of concern and why the reviewers might be concerned about the stated issues. It is common for participants to be compensated for their participation in research. Do you think this influences their behaviors or responses? Use the South University Online Library to investigate whether there is evidence regarding the influence of compensation on participants' participation. Find two articles and submit summaries of each of them. Participants should be told they have a right to stop their participation in a study at any point in the study. Do you agree or disagree on whether this should be done or not? Why? Do you think they should still be able to receive the promised monetary compensation if they leave early? Please help with my homework I am struggling with. Thank you

A magazine article claims that less than 1% of U.S. passenger vehicles on the road are electric. You are skeptical, and decide to investigate. From a random sample of 7000 cars you find only 14 that are electric. Test the magazine’s claim at a 1% significance level. Interpret your result.

National polls are often conducted by asking the opinions of a few thousand adults nationwide and using them to infer the opinions of all adults in the nation. Explain who is in the sample and who is in the population for such polls. Please use a poll from a newspaper, TV, a magazine, or from the Internet. cite a source.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2018, for Nevada Harvester Corporation includes the liabilities listed below:

A. 11% bonds with a face amount of $49 million were issued for $49 million on October 31, 2009. The bonds mature on October 31, 2029. Bondholders have the option of calling (demanding payment on) the bonds on October 31, 2019, at a redemption price of $49 million. Market conditions are such that the call is not expected to be exercised

B. Management intended to refinance $12.5 million of its 12% notes that mature in May 2019. In early March, prior to the actual issuance of the 2018 financial statements, Nevada Harvester negotiated a line of credit with a commercial bank for up to $7.0 million any time during 2019. Any borrowings will mature two years from the date of borrowing.

C. Noncallable 13% bonds with a face amount of $32.4 million were issued for $32.4 million on September 30, 1996. The bonds mature on September 30, 2019. Sufficient cash is expected to be available to retire the bonds at maturity.

D. A $22 million 12% bank loan is payable on October 31, 2024. The bank has the right to demand payment after any fiscal year-end in which Nevada Harvester’s ratio of current assets to current liabilities falls below a contractual minimum of 1.7 to 1 and remains so for six months. That ratio was 1.45 on December 31, 2018, due primarily to an intentional temporary decline in inventory levels. Normal inventory levels will be reestablished during the first quarter of 2019.

Required: 1. For each liability listed above, what amount will be reported as a current liability on the December 31, 2018 balance sheet? (Enter your answers in millions (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5).)
