She increases the contribution rate to $4,300 per year in years 11 through 20. This is followed by increases to $9,300 per year in years 21 through 30 and to $14,300 per year for the last ten years. This money earns a 8 percent return. |

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression during seasons with less daylight (e.g., winter months). One therapy for SAD is phototherapy, which is increased exposure to light used to improve mood. A researcher tests this therapy by exposing a sample of patients with SAD to different intensities of light (low, medium, high) in a light box, either in the morning or at night (these are the times thought to be most effective for light therapy). All participants rated their mood following this therapy on a scale from 1 (poor mood) to 9 (improved mood). The hypothetical results are given in the following table.

Carefully read the information below, and then do three things with the data. (1) Make two columns (one for costs and the other for benefits) and place each piece of information in the correct column. (2) Prioritize each list, from most important to least important. (3) Write a three-paragraph analysis. Paragraphs one and two should explain why you feel the top two costs and top two benefits are the most important. Finally, paragraph three is your analysis, based on your interpretation of all the facts listed below, explain whether you believe we should pay donors for organs or not. The paper should be typed and no more than one page in length. 1. Under the current system, roughly 30 Americans die every day waiting for an organ transplant. This number would drop significantly if a price rationing system were adopted. 2. Some people are concerned that if we pay donors it will reduce altruism and replace it with greed. 3. Even worse, several studies suggest that paying for donations may actually reduce the incentive for people to choose to be organ donors after death. 4. Payments for organs will help families of the donors pay for burial costs and other death related expenses. 5. The group “Taxpayer Protection” claims that if more organs were available, the government would spend even more money on Medicare funded organ transplants, thus increasing the national debt. 6. However, at studies have shown that organ transplants can be much cheaper than terminal medical care (taking care of patients as they slowly die from lack of a transplant) as long as the patients live at least three years after the surgery. 7. Minorities often wait longer for transplants because fewer minorities donate their organs so there are not as many close matches. Price rationing could help alleviate this problem, as more organs should be available, thus increasing the chances for a close match. 8. Some people are concerned that creating a market for organs might lead to people being killed to harvest their organs to be sold to others in need. 9. A group of religious leaders is concerned about coma patients. They fear that if families of coma patients know they can make money from the sale of the organs they might be more inclined to “pull the plug”. 10. Some people are very concerned that price rationing of organs could benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. 11. If the market is able to eliminate the shortage of organs in the U.S., hospitals could treat patients from all over the world and save more lives

Fairfax Pizza is evaluating a project that would require an initial investment in equipment of 200,000 dollars and that is expected to last for 6 years. MACRS depreciation would be used where the depreciation rates in years 1, 2, 3, and 4 are 40 percent, 33 percent, 19 percent, and 8 percent, respectively. For each year of the project, Fairfax Pizza expects relevant, incremental annual revenue associated with the project to be 346,000 dollars and relevant, incremental annual costs associated with the project to be 314,000 dollars. The tax rate is 50 percent. What is (X plus Y) if X is the relevant operating cash flow (OCF) associated with the project expected in year 1 of the project and Y is the relevant OCF associated with the project expected in year 4 of the project?
