Recent development near Eugene, Oregon, has identified a need for improved access to Interstate 5 at one location. Civil engineers and public planners are considering three alternative access plans. Benefits are estimated for the public in general; disbenefits primarily affect some local proprietors who will see traffic pattern changes as undesirable. Costs are monetary for construction and upkeep, and savings are a reduction in cost of those operations today that will not be necessary in the future. All figures are relative to the present situation, retention of which is still an alternative, and are annualized over the 20-year planning horizon.

Case Study: Global Healthcare Public Policy Imagine that in the near future, the global community has been wracked by successive crises including economic upheaval, severe food and water shortages, and attacks on human dignity. In response, nationwide grassroots movements of young people have elected members of congress and parliament who support restoring leadership throughout the world in the areas of health, freedom, and human rights. Groundswells invoking liberty and justice are sweeping Europe, Africa, South America, Oceania, and the United States. Prompted by this worldwide atmosphere of new hope, the United Nations is convening a World Congress of Present and Future Human Flourishing. Conference sessions will focus on the right to healthcare, health disparities/health inequities, emerging infectious diseases, food and water security, and mechanisms for global environmental and climate governance.

Ethical Analysis

1. Discuss the role of the principles of biomedical ethics in helping to establish a robust global healthcare community capable of providing services to all those in need.

2.Analyze the persistence of global undernutrition and poverty from the perspective of the biomedical ethical principles of autonomy and justice. Describe two global public policy solutions to meaningfully influence these social determinants of health.

3. Analyze the importance of helping to ensure optimal maternal and newborn health from the perspective of the biomedical ethical principles of autonomy and justice. Describe two global public policy solutions to meaningfully impact these social determinants of health.

Wally’s Widget Company (WWC) incorporated near the end of 2011. Operations began in January of 2012. WWC prepares adjusting entries and financial statements at the end of each month. Balances in the accounts at the end of January are as follows: Cash $ 20,270 Unearned Revenue (30 units) $ 4,900 Accounts Receivable $ 11,300 Accounts Payable (Jan Rent) $ 2,400 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ (1,450) Notes Payable $ 15,500 Inventory (35 units) $ 3,150 Contributed Capital $ 6,100 Retained Earnings – Feb 1, 2012 $ 4,370 • WWC establishes a policy that it will sell inventory at $160 per unit. • In January, WWC received a $4,900 advance for 30 units, as reflected in Unearned Revenue. • WWC’s February 1 inventory balance consisted of 35 units at a total cost of $3,150. • WWC’s note payable accrues interest at a 12% annual rate. • WWC will use the FIFO inventory method and record COGS on a perpetual basis. February Transactions 02/01 Included in WWC’s February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,700 account due from Kit Kat, a WWC customer. Kit Kat is having cash flow problems and cannot pay its balance at this time. WWC arranges with Kit Kat to convert the $1,700 balance to a note, and Kit Kat signs a 6-month note, at 9% annual interest. The principal and all interest will be due and payable to WWC on August 1, 2012. 02/02 WWC paid a $600 insurance premium covering the month of February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense. 02/05 An additional 150 units of inventory are purchased on account by WWC for $11,250 – terms 2/15, n30. 02/05 WWC paid Federal Express $300 to have the 150 units of inventory delivered overnight. Delivery occurred on 02/06. 02/10 Sales of 120 units of inventory occurred during the period of 02/07 – 02/10. The sales terms are 2/10, net 30. 02/15 The 30 units that were paid for in advance and recorded in January are delivered to the customer. 02/15 15 units of the inventory that had been sold on 2/10 are returned to WWC. The units are not damaged and can be resold. Therefore, they are returned to inventory. Assume the units returned are from the 2/05 purchase. 02/16 WWC pays the first 2 weeks wages to the employees. The total paid is $1,900. 02/17 Paid in full the amount owed for the 2/05 purchase of inventory. WWC records purchase discounts in the current period rather than as a reduction of inventory costs. 02/18 Wrote off a customer’s account in the amount of $1,550. 02/19 $4,800 of rent for January and February was paid. Because all of the rent will soon expire, the February portion of the payment is charged directly to expense. 02/19 Collected $9,100 of customers’ Accounts Receivable. Of the $9,100, the discount was taken by customers on $6,000 of account balances; therefore WWC received less than $9,100. 02/26 WWC recovered $510 cash from the customer whose account had previously been written off (see 02/18). 02/27 A $500 utility bill for February arrived. It is due on March 15 and will be paid then. 02/28 WWC declared and paid a $550 cash dividend. Adjusting Entries: 02/29 Record the $1,900 employee salary that is owed but will be paid March 1. 02/29 WWC decides to use the aging method to estimate uncollectible accounts. WWC determines 8% of the ending balance is the appropriate end of February estimate of uncollectible accounts. 02/29 Record February interest expense accrued on the note payable. 02/29 Record one month’s interest earned Kit Kat’s note (see 02/01).

WWC decides to use the aging method to estimate uncollectible accounts. WWC determines 8% of the ending balance is the appropriate end of February estimate of uncollectible accounts.
