A candidate for mayor in a small town has allocated

$40,000 for last-minute advertising in the days pre-

ceding the election. Two types of ads will be used:

radio and television. Each radio ad costs $200 and

reaches an estimated 3,000 people. Each television

ad costs $500 and reaches an estimated 7,000 people.

In planning the advertising campaign, the campaign

manager would like to reach as many people

as possible, but she has stipulated that at least 10 ads

of each type must be used. Also, the number of radio

ads must be at least as great as the number of television

ads. How many ads of each type should be

used? How many people will this reach?

In a certain town where all cars are either green or blue., there are 3 times more green cars than

the blue ones. Studies indicate that at a particularly dimly lighted pedestrian crossing at night the probability that a person correctly identifies the color of a green car is 0.68. The probability that they correctly identify the color of a blue car is 0.45. You were just hit by a car at that crossing and believe that the car was green.

i. Draw a probability tree representing these breakdowns.
ii. What is the probability that you were actually hit by a green car?

The town of KnowWearSpatial, U.S.A. operates a rubbish waste disposal facility that is overloaded if its 4680 households discard waste with weights having a mean that exceeds 27.22 lb/wk. For many different weeks, it is found that the samples of 4680 households have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 26.95 lb and a standard deviation of 12.13 lb. What is the proportion of weeks in which the waste disposal facility is overloaded? P(M > 27.22) = Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted. Is this an acceptable level, or should action be taken to correct a problem of an overloaded system? Yes, this is an acceptable level because it is unusual for the system to be overloaded. No, this is not an acceptable level because it is not unusual for the system to be overloaded.m

Government is considering building a public park in a small town ìBelleî. The cost of building this park is 120. There are three people in this town, Arnold, Ben, and Carrol. Each personís valuation of the park is 20, 30, and 80 respectively. But, government does not know these valuations.

(a) The government decides whether to build this park by majority voting. If majority supports building the park, then cost will be equally shared. What will be the outcome of majority voting?

(b) Government suggests that the cost of building the park will be financed through the government revenue in other towns. But government will only take this project when the benefit is higher than the cost. Government want survey these three to know the benefit of the park. Do you think this is the right plan to get the benefit of the park? Explain why or why not.

(c) Government suggests another plan. Government will survey these three to get the valuation of the park. If the sum of benefit is greater than the cost, cost will proportionately shared among three according to the reported valuation. For example, the reported valuation is 50, 60, and 70, then each cost share will be 50/(50+60+70), 60/(50+60+70), and 70/(50+60+70). Do you think this is the right plan to get the true valuation? Explain why or why not.

Caring for Kids Ltd (CFK) is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The company provides childcare services for pre-school children. CFK has undertaken significant expansion of its operations over the past two years. This strategy has resulted in the acquisition of a total of 200 new centres with childcare licences in Australia, New Zealand and the Page 259 United Kingdom. The expansion strategy has been funded mainly from borrowings that have been sourced in both local and foreign currency. CFK’s board consists of five directors: three non-executive directors, the CEO and CFO. None of the three non-executive directors have any formal qualifications or background in business. The board has expressed concern about the pace of expansion, due to CFK’s accounting system failing to effectively integrate the acquired companies’ complex information systems.

Based on the background information, identify four inherent risk factors for CFK and explain their impact on the financial report.

Skill sets for manufacturing workers are changing rapidly as manual labor is being replaced with employee-assisted...

Skill sets for manufacturing workers are changing rapidly as manual labor is being replaced with employee-assisted manufacturing robots. Rather than hire new workers, a company chooses to invest in a skill-based pay plan that will tie pay increases to successfully learning new skills. The cost of the training system is significantly higher than anticipated, causing the company to limit access to training. The company decides to limit participation to workers who joined the company upon completing high school (age 18) and who have fewer than 15 years with the company. This decision excludes a large segment of the workforce who have substantially higher seniority, particularly those with more than 25 years of seniority.

Questions:

  1. 5-9. What would you do? (Hint: Review the material in Chapter 2, Learning Objective 2-5.)

  2. 5-10. What factor(s) in this ethical dilemma might influence a person to make a less-than-ethical decision?

Suppose the School Company has this book value balance sheet: Current assets $30,000,000 Current liabilities $20,000,000 Fixed assets 70,000,000 Notes payable $10,000,000 Long-term debt 30,000,000 Common stock (1 million shares) 1,000,000 Retained earnings 39,000,000 Total assets $100,000,000 Total liabilities and equity $100,000,000 The notes payable are to banks, and the interest rate on this debt is 7%, the same as the rate on new bank loans. These bank loans are not used for seasonal financing but instead are part of the company's permanent capital structure. The long-term debt consists of 30,000 bonds, each with a par value of $1,000, an annual coupon interest rate of 9%, and a 25-year maturity. The going rate of interest on new long-term debt, rd, is 12%, and this is the present yield to maturity on the bonds. The common stock sells at a price of $52 per share. Calculate the firm's market value capital structure. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Craft an initial post that addresses:

What ethical concerns should the nurse consider?
What interventions need to be in place prior to discharge to prevent transmission of tuberculosis to her family and the public?
Provide a detailed education plan for discharge.
