It is 1 hour post-op, The SICU nurse is reassessing the patient. Assessment findings for Mr. B include: Grimacing, can barely bend his fingers, coughing with some tears noted. Current vital signs are T97.8F, HR 130, B/P 168/102, breathing 25 breaths per minute on SIMV mode ventilation. What pain scale is appropriate for this patient? According to the scale, what is his score? Do his vital signs confirm this? What medications may be administered to control his pain? What should the nurse monitor after the med is administered? Morphine 5 mg IV has been administered by SICU nurse 30 minutes ago. On reassessment, Mr. B was found to be restless and turning his head left and right with both eyes closed.

Medtronic Inc., the world's largest manufacturer of implantable biomedical devices, reported earnings per share in 2017 of $3.95 and paid dividends per share of $0.68.    Its earnings are expected to grow by 16% in 2018 and in 2019; the growth rate is expected to decline each year after that to a stable growth rate of 6% in 2021.    The payout ratio is expected to remain unchanged from 2017 to 2019, after which it will increase each year to reach 50% in steady state. The stock is expected to have a beta of 1.25 from 2018 to 2019, after which the beta would decline each year to reach 1.00 by the time the firm becomes stable. The treasury bond rate is 1.25% and the equity risk premium is 5.5%.

(i)Assuming that the growth rate declines linearly (and the payout ratio increases linearly) from 2020 to 2021, estimate the dividends per share each year from 2018 to 2021.

(ii)Estimate the expected price at the end of 2021.

(iii)Estimate the value per share, using the three-stage dividend discount model.

Mark spent $80 to buy 10 cans of beer (good X) and 5 bottles of wine (good Y) last week. Each can of beer cost Px and each bottle of wine cost Py. Suppose he is a utility maximizing agent.

1. Now, the price of one bottle of beer has increased by $1 and he has spent the same amount of money to buy 8 cans of beer and 5 bottles of wine. Find the price of beer before the change and the price of wine.

2. What is the MRS before the price change and after the price change?

At the end of the year, before distributions, Bombay (an S corporation) has an accumulated adjustments account balance of $18,400 and accumulated E&P of $24,250 from a previous year as a C corporation. During the year, Nicolette (a 40 percent shareholder) received a $24,250 distribution (the remaining shareholders received $36,375 in distributions). (Assume her stock basis is $48,500 after considering her share of Bombay’s income for the year but before considering the effects of the distribution.)

Required:

1. What is the amount and character of gain Nicolette must recognize from the distribution?
2. What is her basis in her Bombay stock at the end of the year?

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before​ treatment,

2323

subjects had a mean wake time of

100.0100.0

min. After​ treatment, the

2323

subjects had a mean wake time of

74.674.6

min and a standard deviation of

20.920.9

min. Assume that the

2323

sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before​ treatment, 21 subjects had a mean wake time of 104.0 min. After​ treatment, the 21 subjects had a mean wake time of 99.9 min and a standard deviation of 24.5 min. Assume that the 21 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 90​% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug treatments. What does the result suggest about the mean wake time of 104.0 min before the​ treatment? Does the drug appear to be​ effective?

1. stintits Co. has an incentive compensation plan through which a division manager receives a bonus equal to 10% of the division’s net income. Division income in 2019 before the bonus and income tax was $150,000. The tax rate is 21%.

Required:

1. Express the bonus formula as one or more algebraic equation(s).
2. Using these formulas, calculate the amount of the bonus.
3. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the bonus compensation.
4. Bonus arrangements take many forms. Suppose the bonus specifies that the bonus is 10% of the division’s income before tax, but after the bonus itself. Calculate the amount of the bonus.

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before​ treatment, 2121 subjects had a mean wake time of 101.0101.0 min. After​ treatment, the 2121 subjects had a mean wake time of 77.977.9 min and a standard deviation of 22.322.3 min. Assume that the 2121 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 95​% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug treatments. What does the result suggest about the mean wake time of 101.0 min before the​ treatment? Does the drug appear to be​ effective?

Your firm is operating in a world where the only imperfection is that corporations must pay tax. The company is currently all equity financed. Your company has 2,900,000 shares outstanding. Your firm expects to generate earnings before interest and taxes of $3,450,000 per year in perpetuity. The company is planning on borrowing $9,000,000 and using the proceeds of the loan to repurchase some of its outstanding shares. The unlevered cost of equity is 11.20%. The company's cost of debt before taxes is 5.60%. The tax rate is 35.00%.

What will be the required rate of return on the equity after the recapitalization (borrow the money and repurchase shares) is completed?
