What is the percentage price change for a zero coupon bond if its YTM changes from 3.7% to 4.9%? The bond's face value is $1,000 and it matures in 7 years. Use the price determined from the first yield, 3.7%, as the base in the percentage calculation. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. (e.g., 4.32% = 4.3). [Hint: If the price dropped, enter a negative number].

An article entitled "Changes to the Creole Menu" written by Carla Méndez Martí was recently published. It summarizes the new dietary guidelines issued by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health. These guidelines prohibit excess sugar and salt, suggest limiting fat intake, and increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, fiber, and low-fat dairy products. It is also recommended to eat whole wheat and not white bread, and exercise regularly. The new guidelines attempt to tackle the increase in obesity in our population, including young adults and the elderly. Some researchers have associated a healthy diet with fewer health problems and greater longevity. Suppose that Puerto Ricans change our lifestyle and diet to follow the recommendations of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health. Under current accounting standards, how could the new lifestyle of Puerto Rican society affect the accounting of a defined benefit pension plan of a local company? Specifically, which components of pension expense could be affected?

a. Use simple linear regression analysis to develop a forecasting model for monthly demand. In this application, the dependent variable, Y, is monthly demand and the independent variable, X, is the month. For January, let X=1; for February, let X=2; and so on.
The forecasting model is given by the equation
Y= ___ + ____X.

We will make some changes to our first program. If you recall we began with, A car's gas mileage or miles-per-gallon (MPG) can be calculated with the following Formula: MPG = Miles Driven / Gallons of gas used. Write a class called Mileage. The Mileage class should have two private member variables called miles and gallons of type double. The class should have four public methods: setMiles and setGallons should use void return types; getMiles and getGallons should use double return types. It should have one more method called getMPG that performs the math calculation and returns the double MPG Write a program called MPGMain that asks the user for the number of miles driven and the gallons of gas used. It should call the Mileage class to calculate the car's MPG. The class should return the MPG to the MPGMain where it was called and display the value on the screen. (Format the display and limit the miles-per-gallon to 2 decimal places) in JAVA programming language

Background: This notice of proposed rulemaking proposes changes to the Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records regulations. These proposals were prompted by the need to continue aligning the regulations with advances in the U.S. health care delivery system, while retaining important privacy protections for individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs). SAMHSA strives to facilitate information exchange for safe and effective substance use disorder care, while addressing the legitimate privacy concerns of patients seeking treatment for a substance use disorder. Within the constraints of the statute, these proposals are also an effort to make the regulations more understandable and less burdensome.
You are a healthcare manager faced with implementing the proposed rules that we read about this week. Assume for this assignment that you do have patients who receive substance use treatment in your facility.
(a) Your concerns about the logistics of implementing the rule at your facility. That is, what specific steps would need to be taken in order to make this data sharing work? Your response to this question should be two to three sentences.
(b) Your thoughts about the legal issues that these changes may cause. List at least three items about legal compliance that you would need to address with your staff. Your response to this question should be at least three sentences.

An eye-opening exploration of how social changes such as technological advancements influence the social practices of individuals and nations. For example, your grandparents may have used a dial phone to contact family members and today thanks to technological advancement a majority of persons use a cordless phone or iPhone.In a three paragraph format discuss in your own words the three factors that lead to social change. Include one example of each notion from personal or professional experience in the response.
Then, in a separate paragraph explain how you can apply this learning to a future professional setting. Include a minimum of three points in the response.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS-
Each dog goes through a six- to ninemonth training regimen before they are put into service. Part of our process is to record and track several data points about the rescue animals.
Dogs are given the status of "intake" before training starts. Once in training, they move through a set of five rigorous phases: Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV, and Phase V. While in training, a dog is given the status of its current training phase (e.g., "Phase I"). When a dog graduates from training, it is given the status of "in service" and is eligible for use by clients. If a dog does not successfully make it through training, it is given the status of "farm," indicating that it will live a life of leisure on a Grazioso Salvare farm.
The Animals Through years of experience, we have narrowed the list of dog breeds eligible for rescue training to the following:
• American pit bull terrier • Beagle • Belgian Malinois • Border collie • Bloodhound • Coonhound • English springer spaniel • German shepherd • German shorthaired pointer • Golden retriever • Labrador retriever • Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever • Rough collie • Smooth collie
When we acquire a dog, we record the breed, gender, age, weight, date, and the location where we obtained them. There is usually a short lag time between when we acquire a dog and when they start training, which we document as well. Additionally, we track graduation dates, dates dogs are placed into "service," and details about the dogs' in-service placement (agency, city, country, and name, email address, phone number, and mailing address for the agency's point of contact).
