With over 50% of adults spending more than an hour a day on the Internet, the number experiencing computer- or Internet-based crime continues to rise. A survey in 2010 of a random sample of 1020 adults, aged 18 and older, reached by random digit dialing found 122 adults in the sample who said that they or a household member was a victim of a computer or Internet crime on their home computer in the past year.

What is a 90 % large-sample confidence interval for the proportion p of all households that have experienced computer or Internet crime during the year before the survey was conducted? Using p-hat rounded to 4 decimals:

A steam power plant operates on a regenerative Rankine cycle with two feedwater heaters, one closed and one open. Steam enters the turbine at 12.5 MPa and 550ºC and exhausts to the condenser at 10 kPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 1 MPa for the closed feedwater heater and 0.8 MPa for the open one. The feedwater is heated to the condensation temperature of the extracted steam in the closed feedwater heater. The extracted steam leaves the closed feedwater heater as a saturated liquid, which is subsequently throttled to the open feedwater heater. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine(a) the mass flow rate of steam through the boiler for a net power output of 350 MW and (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Logan Distributing Company of Atlanta sells fans and heaters to retail outlets throughout the Southeast. Joe Logan, the president of the company, is thinking about changing the firm's credit policy to attract customers away from competitors. The present policy calls for a 1/10, net 30 cash discount. The new policy would call for a 3/10, net 50 cash discount. Currently, 30 percent of Logan customers are taking the discount, and it is anticipated that this number would go up to 50 percent with the new discount policy. It is further anticipated that annual sales would increase from a level of $395,000 to $620,000 as a result of the change in the cash discount policy.

The increased sales would also affect the inventory level. The average inventory carried by Logan is based on a determination of an EOQ. Assume sales of fans and heaters increase from 14,915 to 22,350 units. The ordering cost for each order is $204, and the carrying cost per unit is $1.45 (these values will not change with the discount). The average inventory is based on EOQ/2. Each unit in inventory has an average cost of $13.

Cost of goods sold is equal to 65 percent of net sales; general and administrative expenses are 15 percent of net sales; and interest payments of 14 percent will only be necessary for the increase in the accounts receivable and inventory balances. Taxes will be 40 percent of before-tax income.

For average collection period, assume the customer pays on the last day possible (if they are getting the discount, that is day 10; if not, that is day 30 with the original policy and day 50 with the proposed policy).

The accountant preparing the income statement for Bakersfield, Inc. had some doubts about the appropriate accounting treatment of the seven items listed below during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Assume a tax rate of 40 percent.
1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss of $70,000 before taxes. While this loss meets the criteria of an unusual item, it has not been recorded.
2. The corporation disposed of its sporting goods division during 2014. This disposal meets the criteria for discontinued operations. The division correctly calculated income from operating this division of $110,000 before taxes and a loss of $12,000 before taxes on the disposal of the division. All of these events occurred in 2014 and have not been recorded.

3. The company recorded advances of $10,000 to employees made December 31, 2014 as Salaries and Wages Expense.

4. Dividends of $10,000 during 2014 were recorded as an operating expense.

5. In 2014, Bakersfield changed its method of accounting for inventory from the first-in-first-out method to the average cost method. Inventory in 2014 was correctly recorded using the average cost method. The new inventory method would have resulted in an additional $125,000 of cost of goods sold (before taxes) being reported on prior years' income statement.

6. Office equipment purchased January 1, 2014 for $60,000 was incorrectly charged to Supplies Expense at the time of purchase. The office equipment has an estimated three-year service life with no expected salvage value. Bakersfield uses the straight-line method to depreciate office equipment for financial reporting purposes. This error has not been recorded.

7. On January 1, 2010, Bakersfield bought a building that cost $85,000, had an estimated useful life of ten years, and had a salvage value of $5,000. Bakersfield uses the
straight-line depreciation method to depreciate the building. In 2014, it was estimated that the remaining useful life was eight years and the salvage value was zero. Depreciation expense reported on the 2014 income statement was correctly calculated based on the new estimates. No adjustment for prior years' depreciation estimates was made.

Required:
1.For each item, record corrections to income from continuing operations before taxes, if any. Denote any negative numbers by using brackets < >.

2.At January 1, 2014, Bakersfield, Inc.'s retained earnings balance was $200,000. Assume that income from continuing operations (before taxes) and after correctly considering any of the seven additional items was $1,400,000. Prepare the income statement and retained earnings statement. Denote negative numbers by using brackets < >. Do not disclose earnings per share data.

Introduction

The Healthy People 2020 initiative of addressing social determinants of health is a high priority for improving physical fitness and healthy lifestyle choices. Factors such as lifestyle, demographics, and heredity ultimately help to determine quality of life and health for both individuals and communities (HealthyPeople.gov, 2014).

Case Study

Promoting individual and community participation in making positive lifestyle changes will require a multitiered approach. For example, empowering people to exercise and increase physical activity by walking more often is a positive behavioral intervention endorsed by Healthy People 2020. Renewed emphases on transformation of health care delivery and support of public health promotion programs by addressing lifestyle choices and healthier decision-making are fundamental drivers of social determinants. For example, the national healthcare environment is primed to support health promotion programs through recent legislative efforts that emphasize disease prevention and care coordination. This approach helps public health interventionists to design strategies and programs by promoting change and enhancing decision-making. Ideally, the call-to-action message will be reinforced with robust health education efforts on social media.

Discussion

The future of health care delivery systems will require novel approaches to meet or exceed the Healthy People 2020 initiatives. For example, Healthy People 2020 establishes a set of standards for health systems to strive toward quality outcomes grounded in evidence-based medicine (EPM). Small- to medium-sized health systems often struggle to implement new care delivery models and evidence-based practices for many reasons, including a lack of external guidelines and monitoring. As a result, clinical care delivery is fragmented at worse and health outcome are inconsistent at best. Thus, clinical care is neither evidence based nor adherent to national quality-based standards.

Conclusion

Health systems with novel models in clinical care delivery are champions of best practices. “An organizational culture that supports and encourages clinical inquiry and welcoming change will lead to improved clinical outcomes” (Hall & Roussel, 2014). The pursuit of the Healthy People 2020 is a worthy goal that can assist future health care delivery systems to develop a modern clinical and administrative infrastructure. Finally, a gap often exists between the skills and knowledge needed for implementation of these types of cutting-edge care delivery models. This type of strategic planning and focus will help reinforce EBM and best-clinical practices for the adoption of quality initiatives such as Healthy People 2020.

Question

1. How can external initiatives such as Healthy People 2020 assist health care delivery systems to implement quality-based measures to improve clinical outcomes? Provide an example with support from the text or a peer-reviewed reference.
2. Research previous Health People initiatives from 2000 and 2010. Track one of the initiatives and monitor its progress over the 10-year period. Prepare a SWOT analysis and discuss your findings in the context of measuring a quality outcome.
