In this hypothetical case study, a new rapid test kit nicknamed Alpha is being reviewed. The sensitivity of Alpha is 93.0% (0.93) and the specificity is 96.0% (0.96). Assume that the actual prevalence of the Zika antibody among the United States population of blood donors is 4% (0.04) and that of the hurricane disaster relief volunteers returning from Puerto Rico is 20.0% (0.20).

Construct a separate 2 x 2 table, to calculate the PPV and NPV for a population of 2,500 volunteers who aided in the recent hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean.

If sensitivity and specificity remain constant, what is the relationship of prevalence to predictive-value positive and predictive-value negative? (Hint: Think if one increases, decreases, or stays the same.)

1. A not-for-profit organization receives $150 from a donor. The donor receives two tickets to a theater show and an acknowledgment in the theater program. The tickets have afair market value of $100. What amount is recorded as contribution revenue?

The principal of this contribution is not to be spent according to the donor's restrictions. The securities were purchased January 2, Year 2. At December 31, Year 1, the bank recorded

$2,000 interest on the deposit. In accordance with the bequest, this $2,000 was used to finance ongoing program expenses in March Year 2. At December 31, Year 1, what amount of the bank balance should be included as current assets in Gamma's classified balance sheet?

please explain why is 2000.

As a developing countries make a transition to market-based economies, one of the first major capital investment is in "western-quality" hotels. Explain why brand-name hotel accommodations are a critical step in attracting foreign investment.

A large city hotel serves two types of customers/guests: general visitors (gv), and convention attendees (ca). Their respective daily demand functions are: For the general visitors segment Q gv = 1,400 – 10 Pgv, and for the convention attendees segment Qca = 2,400 -20 Pca. The marginal cost for serving an additional guest is the same, regardless of the type of customer, and the hotel’s daily Total Cost function is: T.C. = 18,200 + 30 Q.

1. With price discrimination, how many rooms should this hotel offer to in each market segment, and what rate (price) should it charge to each group of customers?
2. What would this hotel’s daily profits be?
3. What would the mark-up, as a percentage of the membership price, be in each market segment?

From Martland (2012) 9.1 A dispute has broken out in a board meeting of a real estate investment firm. Mr. Park advocates developing a site as a parking lot that would require a minimal level of investment, produce revenues of close to $1 million per year, and have an IRR of more than 40%. Mr. Macy prefers a mixed development with several small stores at street level and apartments on the upper levels. He argues that the project will have a NPV of $6 to $10 million, using the company’s hurdle rate of 15%. ‘‘Fine,’’ says Mr. Park, ‘‘but your IRR is still less than 20%, so my project is better.’’ Which project would you support? and why?

1. You decide to purchase a van to transport your hotel guests to and from the airport. This is a new service you are adding to your hotel because you have noticed from your STR reports that your competitors are having better occupancy percentages and slightly better ADRs. And after some research, you do have a very comparable product but your current guests have also put in their comment cards that they wish you would provide airport transportation. The cost of the van with the upgrades totals $75,000. You are not charging your guests anything but you have estimated that this new service, you should have an increase in your annual cash flow of $28,000 for the next 5 years. What is the IRR of this van?
