A company manufactures 2 core trade items, A and B. Both products need manufacturing time in 3 stages which is shown below:

The chief plant officer (CPO) says that product A has a profit contribution (Price sold minus Variable Cost) of 20000 USD and product B of 16000 USD. The production capability is defined by the capacity of each stage. Questions: 1. If somebody could produce only product A, which could be the official contribution in the profits? 2. If the added time was used for production of product B, which could the total profit be? 3. Could you suggest to the CPO another production mix in order to achieve higher total profit and if yes which would be the percentage for each stage?

A real estate developer wishes to study the relationship between the size of home a client will purchase (in square feet) and other variables. Possible independent variables include the family income, family size, whether there is a senior adult parent living with the family (1 for yes, 0 for no), and the total years of education beyond high school for the husband and wife. The sample information is reported below.

1. Develop an appropriate multiple regression equation using stepwise regression. (Use Excel data analysis and enter number of family members first, then their income and delete any insignificant variables. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. R and R2 adj are in percent values. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

2. Select all independent variables that should be in the final model. (You may select more than one answer. Single-click the box with the question mark to produce a check mark for a correct answer and double-click the box with the question mark to empty the box for a wrong answer. Any boxes left with a question mark will be automatically graded as incorrect.)

Wiremu operates a small business selling natural health products. He recently heard about one of the latest trends - an expensive new organic herbal tea called T4.

While looking through a trade magazine Wiremu saw an advertisement, promoting the supply of T4 by a company called Eaze Supplies. The advertisement stated, amongst other things, “Great Offer” and “Prices start at $100 per kg”.

Wiremu phoned up Eaze Supplies and spoke to Sally who was Head of Sales, and asked whether Eaze Supplies would be able to fill an order for a regular supply of T4. Wiremu told Sally he wanted the tea packed in 0.5kg packets and suggested the supply of 100 packets each week. (Nothing was specifically said about the price but Wiremu assumed the price would be based on the price stated in the advertisement, which worked out at $5000 per 100 packets.)

Wiremu also told Sally that he must receive the order Monday of each week since he was expecting a high demand, had limited storage space, and Monday would be his weekly time for organizing his stock.

Sally told Wiremu that she needed to do some inventory checks and would get back to him.

After 3 weeks, there was no response from Sally, so Wiremu called Sally again to enquire whether Eaze Supplies could supply him with the requested T4. Sally responded by saying, “Oh yeah... silly me... it completely slipped my mind. Sure no problem. However, we are closed on Mondays so the T4 would have to be sent and delivered on Tuesdays. How does $6000 per 100 packets sound?” In response Wiremu answered, “Mmmm, geee I don’t know. That might affect my entire business scheme. But I guess it could work.”

Sally then suggested to Wiremu that they both agree to do this but decide on the exact terms when Wiremu had worked out the precise details of his business plan, since he sounded a bit confused and uncertain. Wiremu agreed.

Over the next few days, a friend of Wiremu gave him some inside information about an exceptionally cheap supplier of bulk speciality tea grown in Malaysia. Wiremu immediately called up the New Zealand supplier, MST Ltd, and asked if they could supply T4 for 12 months. MST Ltd accept without hesitation, offering $5000 per 100 packets. Wiremu replied, “Excellent that is exactly what I need.” Wiremu and MST Ltd agreed that 100 packets of T4 would be delivered every week on Monday for a period of 12 months.

Two months later, Sally phoned Wiremu looking to conclude their agreement. Wiremu told Sally that he had changed his mind and no longer wished to order from Eaze Supplies. Sally is furious, and told Wiremu, “We had a deal! You will be hearing from my lawyer!”

Evidence-based Practice and Informatics Integration in Nursing Practice

The patient has been in the U.S. for 7 months now for Africa and knows some of the English languages. The patient is postpartum and her husband just sat there on his phone while his wife is bleeding! Her vital signs are 90/50 temp. 99 F, O2 94%. resp. 24. Her risk factors in Fatime Sanogo's case that could have led to postpartum hemorrhage are A large baby, large 2nd-degree laceration, use of Oxytocin, prolonged labor Think through the scenario with Fatime Sanogo and consider the communication gaps in relation to technology, evidence-based practices that were implemented, and the application of technology and information. There is no specific quantity of words or pages for the assignment; be sure to comprehensively address each component. Steps to decrease bleeding, and preventing shock. Bolusing of fluids as well as contacting the physician for additional medications. If there is large blood loss and the patient is showing signs of shock a rapid response should be called and the patient transferred. The physician's order is to check for bleeding every 4 hours and lochia, Give Butorphanol tartrate 2mg IV PRN for pain. Put her in a Trendelenburg position when checking Assess perineum. Administer bolus of 500ml LR over 30min for low blood pressure. Perform a straight cath if the patient having trouble urinating. Palpate the fundus. Assess bladder status. Give oxytocin 60 units in 500 mL. If pain is over 5 give 5 mg of Morphine IV. Give patient non-rebreather mask 10L.

Temp. greater 99, Heart rate below 50 and over 100, Resp. lower then 12 and higher 24, 02 is below 94%. and heavy bleeding in lochia. Call a physician if condition worsens

List the assessment findings and actions that should or should not have been initiated in the care of Fatime, and using evidence-based practice guidelines and describe reliable sources for locating evidence reports and clinical practice guidelines?
