Prepare a 350 word paper describing how the concept "compression of morbidity” may change the way in which health care for the elderly is delivered.

Can anyone explain in laymen's term? Also, point out key information to put in my introduction/background information slide in bullet points

The gut microbiome consists of a multi-kingdom microbial community. Whilst the role of bacteria as causal contributors governing host physiological development is well established, the role of fungi remains to be determined. Here, we use germ-free mice colonized with defined species of bacteria, fungi, or both to differentiate the causal role of fungi on microbiome assembly, immune development, susceptibility to colitis, and airway inflammation. Fungal colonization promotes major shifts in bacterial microbiome ecology, and has an independent effect on innate and adaptive immune development in young mice. While exclusive fungal colonization is insufficient to elicit overt dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis, bacterial and fungal co-colonization increase colonic inflammation. Ovalbumininduced airway inflammation reveals that bacterial, but not fungal colonization is necessary to decrease airway inflammation, yet fungi selectively promotes macrophage infiltration in the airway. Together, our findings demonstrate a causal role for fungi in microbial ecology and host immune functionality, and therefore prompt the inclusion of fungi in therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating early life microbiomes

A supplier of electrical parts and motors company with annual sales of $14 million and employs a staff of 80. Company enters an agreement with Miles two days after the current September 30th year-end. Effective October 2, 2016, Mile’s services with the company were terminated due to his alleged inability to get along with his co-workers. In settlement of several counterclaims and legal threats by Miles over his termination, a financial agreement was reached. The agreement provides that the company will pay Miles or his beneficiary $30,000 annually for the next six years. The first payment will commence one year from the date of the agreement.

Question 1 ) Should generally accepted accounting principles do not require the recognition of liabilities for this agreement as of September 30, 2016, or as of September 30, liabilities of $180,000 for the agreement should be recognized ? What arguments in support of and against liability recognition ?

Question 2 ) What recommendation for agreement should be accounted for. Include in your discussion what year(s) the effects of the agreement (including specific dollar amounts) should be reported in the company’s balance sheet and income statement. Identify any accounts to be reported in the financial statements.

The Mayne Lumber Co. sells lumber and building supplies to builders and the general public. Actual sales for October and November were $18,000 and $25,000, respectively. Projected sales are $30,000 for December, $15,000 for January, and $12,000 for February. Sales terms call for a 2% discount for cash sales. Credit sales are due by the end of the month after purchase. Experience suggests that 60% of the sales are for cash, 70% of the credit sales will pay at the appropriate time, 20% of the credit sales will pay one month late, and 10% of the credit sales are never paid.

Fifty percent (50%) of merchandise purchases are paid in the month of purchase and the remainder is paid in the next month. Target ending inventories are 200 units plus 50% of next month's unit sales. The unit selling price is $10 and the unit purchase cost is $7. Selling and administrative expenses total $4,000 per month and are paid in the month in which they are incurred. Finally, a partial trial balance on December 1, reveals a cash balance of $2,000, accounts payable balance of $9,625 (reflecting the balance outstanding from November purchases), and an inventory balance of $11,900.

Required:                       

Determine Mayne's cash balance at the end of December.
