Frank operates a construction business in Dallas, Texas. On May 1, 2020, Frank purchased a warehouse for his business. The warehouse cost $1,500,000 ($500,000 for land and $1,000,000 for improvements). In November 2020, Frank purchased the following business property: equipment for $100,000, light-duty truck for $50,000, and office furniture for $50,000. Please calculate Frank’s 2020 depreciation deductions. You can ignore bonus depreciation and Section 179. Be sure to explain your calculations fully.
What income would Frank report if he decided to sell the warehouse and equipment on January 1, 2022 so he could upgrade the business? Assume he could sell the warehouse for $1,500,000 and the equipment for $190,000 ($95,000 for equipment, $47,500 for truck, and $47,500 for office furniture). Be sure to fully explain your answer.

A normal deck of cards has 52 cards, consisting
of 13 each of four suits: spades, hearts, diamonds,
and clubs. Hearts and diamonds are red,
while spades and clubs are black. Each suit has
an ace, nine cards numbered 2 through 10, and
three face cards. The face cards are a jack, a
queen, and a king. Answer the following questions
for a single card drawn at random from a
well-shuffled deck of cards.
a. What is the probability of drawing a king of
any suit?
b. What is the probability of drawing a face
card that is also a spade?
c. What is the probability of drawing a card
without a number on it?
d. What is the probability of drawing a red
card? What is the probability of drawing an
ace? What is the probability of drawing a
red ace? Are these events (“ace” and “red”)
mutually exclusive? Are they independent?
e. List two events that are mutually exclusive
for a single draw from a deck of cards.
f. What is the probability of drawing a red
king? What is the probability of drawing a
face card in hearts? Are these two events
mutually exclusive? Are they independent?

Think about your goal in nursing education (i.e., teaching in a pre-licensure program or an MSN program, or as a staff development specialist). Then review either (1) the Board of Nursing requirements for nursing faculty in your state (for an academic program), OR (2) the facility requirements for a healthcare setting. Based on your goals and these requirements, what additional knowledge, skills, and abilities do you need to be eligible to meet your goal and how will you achieve these knowledge, skills, and abilities?

You are a member of the interdisciplinary team working with Barbara Lund, a 36-year-old woman recovering from a recent surgical resection of a malignant thoracic spinal cord tumor. Mrs. Lund has a supportive husband and a 2-year-old son. Mrs. Lund’s husband, James, states, “I am really worried about Barbara because she was quite distressed for about 6 months prior to this surgery over the death of her father. I fear the surgery may have pushed her over the edge.” Currently, 2 weeks status post resection, Mrs. Lund is beginning to ask team members questions about her prognosis and potential functional abilities. She says, “I remember my surgeon trying to explain the surgery to me, but honestly, I didn’t really understand much of what he told me. I am a bit naive when it comes to anything medical.” Mrs. Lund appears quite anxious about the cancer diagnosis and about how she will be able to continue caring for her son.
1.
What are two methods you might use to assess Mrs. Lund’s learning needs? List the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
2.
Describe the criteria your team and the client will use to prioritize her learning needs. Give examples of specific learning needs that will likely be a priority.
3.
What major clues indicate Mrs. Lund’s readiness to learn? Using the PEEK model, identify potential obstacles that might interfere with her readiness to learn.
4.
According to the VARK model, how will knowledge of Mrs. Lund’s learning preference(s) affect your team’s instructional approach? Choose one VARK learning preference for Mrs. Lund and describe the instructional approach your team will use to support this preference.

A professor wears for each class a combination of : one of his three hats (red, blue, green); one of his pants (black, blue, white, green); one of his shirts (white, red, black); and one of his pair of shoes (black, red, blue, white). He never wears combinations with three items of the same color.
i. How many different combinations are wearable?
ii. The professor is teaching 70 lectures for the term. Can he wear a different combination for each lecture during one term?
iii. If he does wear a different combination each lecture, prove that he must use either the red or the blue shoes that term.
iv. There are 4 terms for the year. Prove that at least one combination will be used at least 3 times during the year.
v. How many valid combinations have blue hat or shoes ?

The red blood cell counts (in millions of cells per microliter) for a population of adult males can be approximated by a normal distribution, with a mean of 5.4 million cells per microliter and a standard deviation of0.3 million cells per microliter.
(a) What is the minimum red blood cell count that can be in the top 22% of counts?
(b) What is the maximum red blood cell count that can be in the bottom10%
of counts?
