Chief Complaint: 74-year-old woman with shortness of breath and swelling. History: Martha Wilmington, a 74-year-old woman with a history of rheumatic fever while in her twenties, presented to her physician with complaints of increasing shortness of breath ("dyspnea") upon exertion. She also noted that the typical swelling she's had in her ankles for years has started to get worse over the past two months, making it especially difficult to get her shoes on toward the end of the day. In the past week, she's had a decreased appetite, some nausea and vomiting, and tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. On physical examination, Martha's jugular veins were noticeably distended. Auscultation of the heart revealed a low-pitched, rumbling systolic murmur, heard best over the left upper sternal border. In addition, she had an extra, "S3" heart sound. 9. What is the general term describing Martha's condition? 10. How might Martha's body compensate for the above condition? 11. Martha is started on a medication called digoxin. Why was she given this medication, and how does it work?

Question:

Two weeks after starting digoxin, Martha returns to the physician's office for a follow-up visit. On physical examination, she still has significant hepatomegaly and pitting edema, and is significantly hypertensive (i.e. she has high blood pressure). Her physician prescribes a diuretic called furosemide (or "Lasix"). Why was she given this????

Thanks

Unbiased Expectations Theory Suppose that the current one-year rate (oneyear spot rate) and expected one-year T-bill rates over the following three years (i.e.,
years 2, 3, and 4, respectively) are as follows:

1R1=7%, E(2r1) =9%, E(3r1) =6.0% E(4r1)=4%

Using the unbiased expectations theory, calculate the current (long-term) rates for
one-, two-, three-, and four-year-maturity Treasury securities. Show your answers in
percentage form to 3 decimal places.
Note that:

Rate for a two year security
= [(1 + 1R1)(1 + E(2r1))] 1/2 - 1

Rate for a three year security
= [(1 + 1R1)(1 + E(2r1))(1 + E(3r1))] 1/3 - 1

Rate for a four year security
= [(1 + 1R1)(1 + E(2r1))(1 + E(3r1))(1 + E(4r1))] 1/4 - 1

FNMA has direct holdings of 30-year fixed-rate mortgages financed by three- to five-year agency securities sold to the public.

What kind of interest rate option could FNMA use to limit the interest rate risk? Explain how this would work. Explain how a collar could also be used.

Troll Inc is considering replacing an old, relatively inefficient Troll onjection-mold machine that was purchased three years ago with a new, more effiecent model. The cost of the old machine has $7500 and had an expected MACRS life of three years. If they sell the old machine now they would receive $1000. However, at the end of five years the old machine is worthless. The cost of the new machine is $12000 and would require an increase in inventory of 1,500. Suppliers would grant the firm an additional 500 in trade credit for the new level of inventory. The expected lfe of the new machine is three years and will reduce annual lablor expenses from 10,000 to 4,000. At the end of the project the firm will be able to sell the new machine for 3,000 an recoup their investment in working capital. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 40 percent. Troll's marginal cost of capital is calculation and readability, round your cash dlows to the nearest whole dollar. Using net present value, and internal rate of return, decide whether they should accept or reject this project.
