Suppose a 10-year zero-coupon bond (zero) is trading spot at 6% and a 20-year zero is trading spot at 8%. We know that the 10 year forward rate for a 10 year zero must be 0.1004 (annual compounding). All are risk free. If the rates are not 0.1004 for the forward you can make a free profit by using arbitrage.

Suppose you have $0 dollars today but are allowed to sell and buy $100,000 worth of zero coupon bonds (and commit to the forward 10 year zero coupon bond using any cash you have - or need to reborrow - after 10 years from your initial trades).

(a) What trades do you execute if the forward rate is 9% - report your profit.

(b) What trades do you execute if the forward rate is 11% - report your profit.

(c) Comment on why the forward rate must be 10.04% in light of your results.

A forty-five-year-old man with a three-year history of cardiovascular disease has entered the hospital with a stroke that has paralyzed his right side and caused him to aspirate food of any consistency. His mental status is clouded and there is disagreement as to whether or not he has decisional capacity. His language capacity is only “yes” and “no,” and his responses are inconsistent. The attending physician is convinced that the patient has lost decisional capacity while two family members are equally convinced that he has decisional capacity. The patient’s wife and two other children are ambivalent about his competency to make decisions. The prognosis for recovery of safe swallowing and speech approaches zero because of the dense damage to the cerebral cortex visible on brain imaging. Two neurological consultants have verified that recovery is likely to be minimal and that permanent, severe disability will be the outcome.


The patient does not have an advance directive. The patient’s wife says that they never did discuss his preferences about life-sustaining treatment. She is convinced that he would not want to live in this disabled condition, but is uncertain whether to request the placement of a feeding tube. Two of her four adult children are strongly opposed to the tube placement, while the other two insist that not to do so would be to “kill our father.” The patient’s wife is torn between these two positions, but finally requests that the tube be placed.



The attending physician and the rest of the treatment team are opposed to placing the feeding tube. Their argument is that the patient has “minimal consciousness” and will not improve. They define this as a futile situation with no reasonable expectation of recovery. Furthermore, two nurses claim that during previous hospitalizations for episodes of cardiovascular events the patient told them that he would not want to be sustained by artificial means — not by ventilators, renal dialysis, or tube feeding. It is their position that the patient has expressed his preference to not be kept alive in a futile situation.


The family requests an ethics consultation.

1. The family is divided over whether or not their husband/father should be placed on a feeding tube.

If the husband is deemed competent, who makes the final decision? _________

If not competent, who is the husbands’ official surrogate? ___________

The burdens the treatment (feeding tube) imposes should not be a consideration for the adult children? True_________ False _________

Ethics committees play an advisory role? True _______ False______

Ethics committees act as advocates for the healthcare team? True______ False ________

Decisions of ethics committee are legally binding? True____ False____

Please briefly answer/discuss the following:

The judgment of futility should be a conclusion of a communications process, not a beginning. How would you propose beginning the communication process with the family in this case?

First consider, what is the purpose of an ethics committee?

What information should be shared?

Who should be present?

What alternatives are on the table in this case?

Should the nurses’ statements be considered?

As part of the healthcare team, what is your goal in participating in the discussion?

GIOJ is a manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate considerably from year to year...

GIOJ is a manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate considerably from year to year according to increases and decreases in the number of direct labor-hours worked in the factory. Total factory overhead costs at high and low levels of activity for recent years are given below:

Level of Activity

Low High
  Direct labor-hours 48,300 64,400
  Total factory overhead costs $ 269,360 $ 304,780

The factory overhead costs above consist of indirect materials, rent, and maintenance. The company has analyzed these costs at the 48,300-hour level of activity as follows:

   
  Indirect materials (variable) $ 86,940
  Rent (fixed) 134,000
  Maintenance (mixed) 48,420
  Total factory overhead costs $ 269,360

To have data available for planning, the company wants to break down the maintenance cost into its variable and fixed cost elements.

Required:
1.

Estimate how much of the $304,780 factory overhead cost at the high level of activity consists of maintenance cost. (Hint: To do this, it may be helpful to first determine how much of the $304,780 consists of indirect materials and rent. Think about the behavior of variable and fixed costs!) (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

     

2.

Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

     
       

3.

What total factory overhead costs would you expect the company to incur at an operating level of 53,130 direct labor-hours? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
