Topic 9: Oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve

Define what the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve is and describe why it is physiologically important. explain the significance of the sigmoidal shape, including the physiological significance of the plateau and step portions, and the relationship between oxygen loading/unloading with changes to po2

Give an example of a situation/condition that would result in a right shift of the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve. explain what causes the shift and relate it to oxygen binding affinity, loading-unloading of oxygen, and changes in po2

Consider how attitudes are formed and how they might be changed. Is it possible for individuals to identify counterproductive attitudes and change them? If so, what are some approaches that might work best? Is it possible to help others change negative, counterproductive attitudes as well? Consider how doing this might be different from addressing personal attitude changes. What can be done to make these changes long-lasting? (Note that a discussion of attitudes can relate to a discussion of values as well, which could be extended to business ethics).

3.3 L and C with non-vacuum filler

If we fill the space between the plates of a capacitor with an insulator the capacitance changes by a factor k called the dielectric constant due to a change in the electric field. A similar effect is observed if we fill the inner volume of a coil acting as a solenoid (the core of the solenoid), only the inductance changes due to a change in the magnetic field. Let us assume when we fill the core with some matter. The inductance will change from L to L

Pendergast, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of $180,000. Earnings before interest and taxes, EBIT, are projected to be $23,000 if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 20 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 30 percent lower. Pendergast is considering a $75,000 debt issue with an interest rate of 7 percent. The proceeds will be used to repurchase shares of stock. There are currently 6,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problem.

Answer all of the following:

A-1 Calculate the earning per share EPS under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

A-2 Calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

B-1 Assume that the company goes through with recapitalization. Calculate earnings per share (EPS ) under each of the three economic scenarios assuming the company goes through with the recapitalization.

B-2 Given the recapitalization calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands of enters a recession.
