Suppose you have just purchased your first home for $300,000. At the time of purchase you could afford to commit 20% of the purchase price to a down-payment

Suppose you have just purchased your first home for $300,000. At the time of purchase you could afford to commit 20% of the purchase price to a down-payment. Suppose over time you paid down the principal of the loan to $220,000 and at that point in time you can no longer make any mortgage payments (i.e., you default on the loan). If the lender were to foreclose on your property and sell it for $190,000, determine the amount of the loan’s principal that the lender was unable to recover due to the default. A. $30,000 B. $50,000 C. $240,000 D. $300,000

History:

Margaret Spezia is a married, 49-year-old Italian American with eight children whose ages range from 3 to 18 years. For the past 2 months, Mrs. Spezia has had frequent morning headaches, and occasional dizziness and blurred vision. At her annual physical Assessment 1 month ago, her blood pressure was 168/104 and 156/94. She was instructed to reduce her fat and cholesterol intake, to avoid using salt at the table, and to start walking for 30 to 45 minutes daily. Mrs. Spezia returns to the clinic for follow-up.

ASSESSMENT

While escorting Mrs. Spezia to the Assessment room and obtaining her weight, blood pressure, and history, Lisa Christo RN, notices that Mrs. Spezia seems restless and upset. Ms.Christos says, “You look upset about something. Is everything OK?” Mrs. Spezia responds, “Well, my head is throbbing, and I’m sort of dizzy. I think I’m just overdoing it and not getting enough rest. You know, raising eight children is a lot of work and expense. I just started working part time so we wouldn’t get behind in our bills. I thought the extra money might relieve some of my stress, but I’m not so sure that’s really happening. I’m not getting any better and I’m worried that I’ll lose my job or become disabled and that my husband won’t be able to manage the children by himself. I really need to go home, but first, I want to get rid of this awful headache. Would you please get me a couple of aspirin or something?” Mrs. Spezia’s history shows a steady weight gain over the past 18 years. She has no known family history of hypertension.

Physical findings include:

  • height 63 inches (160 cm)
  • weight 225 lb (102 kg)
  • T 99° F (37.2° C)
  • P 100 regular
  • R 16
  • BP 180/115 (lying)
  • 170/110 (sitting)
  • 165/105 (standing)
  • Skin cool and dry
  • capillary refill 3 seconds right hand, 3 seconds left hand.

Mrs. Spezia’s total serum cholesterol is 245 mg/dL (normal< 200 mg/dL). All other blood and urine studies are within normal limits. Based on analysis of the data, Mrs. Spezia is started on captopril 12.5mg twice daily and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg and placed on a low-fat low-cholesterol, no-added 2gm sodium diet.

Highlight the data in the history and the assessment that needs to be addressed. Read the brief history and identify: concerning

1) subjective/objective data,

2) potential/actual problems,

3) what interventions,

4) Education

5) follow-up would be suggested.

6). Explain the prioritization of problems.

History and Assessment Data

Possible problem

Potential Action (How you as a nurse can address this)

Frequent Complaints of blurred vision.

Possible damage to eyes (vascular changes) due to continued hypertension

Ask physician for referral to opthamologist.

How would you prioritize these problems? Which two would you address first?   Why

Use the following game to answer questions 8-10. Be sure to show all of your math step-by-step.
Alcoa and Kaiser, duopolists in the market for primary aluminum ingot, choose prices of their 500 foot rolls of sheet aluminum on the first day of the month. The following payoff table shows their monthly payoffs resulting from the pricing decisions they can make.
Alcoa
High price
Low price
Kaiser
High price
A

$400, $500

B

$175, $575

Low price
C

$525, $200

D

$273, $250

Suppose Alcoa and Kaiser repeat their pricing decision on the first day of every month. Suppose they have been cooperating for the past few months, but now the manager at Kaiser is trying to decide whether to cheat or to continue cooperating. Kaiser’s manager believes Kaiser can get away with cheating for two months, but he also believes that Kaiser would be punished for the next two months after cheating. After punishment, Kaiser’s manager expects the two firms would return to cooperation. Kaiser’s manager ignores the time-value of money and does not discount future benefits or costs.

8. What is the monthly gain to Kaiser from cheating? What is the present value of the benefit from cheating for the two months of cheating?

9. What is the monthly cost of punishment to Kaiser? What is the pres­ent value of the cost of cheating for the two months of punishment?


10. Will Kaiser cooperate or cheat? Explain.

11. Suppose you were asked to manage a golf course that was currently charging a uniform price. Would you suggest that the course continue with this price plan or switch to a two-part pricing plan? Explain your decision and how you would choose the optimal price.
