She states that she is essentially leading a sedentary lifestyle, but is motivated to make nutrition and exercise changes to improve health.
Dietary Recall: Inadequate intake of Calcium, Vitamin D, Viscous-gel forming fiber, Omega-3 FAs. Excess intake of Total FAT, Saturated FAT, and Trans FAT
Discuss:
1. Calculate BMI and BMI category she calculates into.
2. Dietary recall...discuss the recommended intake of nutrients listed above for this subject, and thus what levels of each she either did not meet or exceeded. Then list foods she could add or eliminate to improve dietary intake.
3. For every condition listed above (Type 2 Diabetic, Hyperlipidemia etc.), discuss how each is diagnosed (test or technique used; cutoff values to determine
diagnosis).
4. Discuss interrelationships between conditions listed above...how these conditions are linked and exacerbate entire overall health status.
5. Discuss realistic dietary and exercise changes she could begin to implement in her routine to improve overall health...discuss mechanisms of improvement for
each condition where appropriate.
Vitamin D
1. Discuss in detail the synthesis and activation of Vitamin D
2. Discuss Vitamin D status...what is measured and cutoff values for different categories (sufficient, insufficient, deficient)
3. Discuss food sources and lifestyle changes she could add to improve Vitamin D status.
4. Discuss recommended Vitamin D intake (from food, supplementation, and sun exposure) for her to achieve sufficient Vitamin D status in a safe manner.

Your company just bought a new distillation unit for $100,000. Such
equipment has a 3-year MACRS classification.
a) What is the book value of the distillation unit at the end of
year 3? Use the $100,000 cost of the unit and the MACRS table above
to find the book value.
b) If the distillation unit will be sold in 3 years for $60,000,
what is the after-tax cash flow (i.e., after-tax salvage value)
from the sale? The tax rate is 25 percent.
c) The distillation unit is used in a project that has a three-year
life. The project is expected to generate the following operating
cash flows. The initial investment required for the project
consists only of the cost of purchasing the distillation unit. It
does not require net working capital. It has no other cash flows
besides the operating cash flows and the cash flow from selling the
equipment at the end of the project in (b). If the required rate of
return on the project is 15 percent, what is the net present value
of the project? Should it be accepted? Why?

Let A be a builder, B a shoemaker, C a house, D a shoe. The builder, then, must get from the shoemaker the latter's work, and must himself give him in return his own. If, then, first there is proportionate equality of goods, and then reciprocal action takes place, the result we mention will be effected. If not, the bargain is not equal, and does not hold; for there is nothing to prevent the work of the one being better than that of the other; they must therefore be equated. (And this is true of the other arts also; for they would have been destroyed if what the patient suffered had not been just what the agent did, and of the same amount and kind.) For it is not two doctors that associate for exchange, but a doctor and a farmer, or in general people who are different and unequal; but these must be equated. This is why all things that are exchanged must be somehow comparable. It is for this end that money has been introduced, and it becomes in a sense an intermediate; for it measures all things, and therefore the excess and the defect-how many shoes are equal to a house or to a given amount of food. The number of shoes exchanged for a house (or for a given amount of food) must therefore correspond to the ratio of builder to shoemaker. For if this be not so, there will be no exchange and no intercourse. And this proportion will not be effected unless the goods are somehow equal. All goods must therefore be measured by some one thing, as we said before. (Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics Book V. What two functions of money is Aristotle describing in this passage? [Select two answers]. Unit of Account, Store of Value, Medium of Exchange, Liquidity. Initially, 20,000 pairs of shoes can buy one house. Additionally, the price of one pair of shoes $50. What is the price of one house? $500,000, $1,000,000, $10,000,000, $5,000,000. Suppose the central bank increases the money supply. After the action by the central bank, the price of a pair of shoes is now $75. What is the price of one house? $1,500,000, $3,000,000, $15,000,000, Not enough information. Based on your answers above, what is the theory that explains the relationship between the price of a pair shoes and the price of a house?
