2 . Problems 22-5

Consider the effects of inflation in an economy composed of only two people: Van, a bean farmer, and Amy, a rice farmer. Van and Amy both always consume equal amounts of rice and beans. In 2016 the price of beans was $5, and the price of rice was $3.

Suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $10 and the price of rice was $6.

Inflation was ________%

.

Indicate whether Van and Amy were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.

Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $7.50 and the price of rice was $6.

In this case, inflation was ______%

.

Indicate whether Van and Amy were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.

Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $1.50 and the price of rice was $6.

In this case, inflation was ______%

.

Indicate whether Van and Amy were better off, worse off, or unaffected by the changes in prices.

What matters more to Van and Amy?

O The relative price of rice and beans

O The overall inflation rate

Consider two 30-year maturity bonds. Bond A has a coupon rate of 4%, while bond B has a coupon rate of 12%. Both bonds pay their coupons semiannually.

a. Compute the prices of the two bonds at each interest rate. (Round the bond price to 2 decimal places.)

b. Suppose Bond A is currently priced to offer a yield to maturity of 8%. Calculate the (percentage) capital gain or loss on the bond if its yield immediately changes to each value of yield to maturity. (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to the nearest whole percent.)

c. Suppose Bond B is currently priced to offer a yield to maturity of 8%. Calculate the (percentage) capital gain or loss on the bond if its yield immediately changes to each value of yield to maturity. (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to the nearest whole percent.)

d. Which bond’s price exhibits greater proportional sensitivity to changes in its yield? In other words, which bond has greater interest rate risk?

e. Which bond pays a high coupon rate has lower “average” or “effective” maturity than a bond that pays a low coupon rate?

1. What biochemical feature of a phospholipid molecule allows phospholipids to spontaneously form closed compartments when placed in an aqueous solution?

a) they are amphipathic

b) they are charged

c) they are spherical

d) they have a single fatty acid tail

2. Other than phospholipids, what molecule do cells use to alter the fluidity of biological membranes?

3. What distinguishes active transport from passive transport?

a) active transport can utilize channel proteins

b) passive transport does not utilize carrier/transporter proteins

c) active transport requires the input of energy

d) active transport only occurs at the plasma membrane

4. In the case of active transport, the Na+/K+ pump undergoes a sequence of conformational changes that allows the movement of Na+ and K+ across a membrane against their electrochemical gradients, while in the case of ER protein import SRP undergoes a sequence of conformational changes to allow the signal sequence to interact with the translocation pore. What drives these conformational changes?

a) hydrolysis of a high energy phosphate bond

b) binding of a solute or protein

c) both

d) neither

5. Is protein import into the ER co-transcriptional, or co-translational?

Sexuality is essential to the way one conceives oneself. It may depend on one's experiences and considerations that often fluctuate throughout his or her lifespan. It gets impacted by different biopsychosocial, economic, cultural, religious, and spiritual factors. The textbook states that with the passing time, the emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of sexual desire and expression become fairly stable in both genders. The Western views have equalized aging with dying, so most of the people probably have a confined view of aged adults as sexually active individuals. Unfortunately, our healthcare providers are also not exempted from these stereotypical attitudes.

Regardless of sexual orientation, how are men and women similar and different in terms of their attitudes toward sex and love?

Describe Sternberg's Triangular theory of Love. Can you compare a relationship you have experienced to Sternberg's theory?

How does a social cultural message add to the stereotypes toward sexuality in aging population?

Are there changes in the sexual behavior of the aged population?

Describe the changes in sexuality from puberty through late adulthood. Describe how a person's definition and experience of sexuality and intimacy often fluctuates throughout his or her lifespan. What are some of the influences as it relates to "changes in sexuality from puberty to late adulthood"?

PC.52 At the start of the semester Custom Kicks personnel were struggling to quickly customize their shoe inserts to their customers' feet. This hurt sales as customers became frustrated during the customization process and would hesitate to refer friends. During week three of running the business, it took an average employee about 20 minutes to customize one pair of inserts. Recognizing this challenge, management and key employees analyzed the customization process and made some time-saving changes. Two weeks later, after training all employees on the new process, an average employee could customize a pair of inserts in about 14 minutes. In this case, what is the output that should be used for productivity calculations? 1 pair (of customized inserts) 20 minutes 14 minutes After making the time-saving changes mentioned above, how many pair of inserts could an average employee complete in one hour? (Display your answer to two decimal places.) After making the time-saving changes mentioned above, by what percentage did Custom Kicks' productivity increase? (Write your answer as a percentage, and display your answer to two decimal places.) %

Overview: Advances in technology have impacted many facets of the auditing process, from assessing risk and internal control to conducting substantive procedures. These changes both create challenges and offer opportunities for auditing professionals. Prompt: For this short paper, you will use the internet to research the impact of a specific technology on auditing. You will provide a description of the technology, an explanation of its current and potential future impact on auditing, and a suggestion of how auditing and auditors can better adapt to the changes brought about by the technology. Use the resources provided in this module for help choosing and researching a topic. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:  Technology Description: Provide a brief description of the technology you chose.  Impact on Auditing: Provide an explanation of the current impact of the technology on auditing and its potential future impact. Support your analysis with research.  Suggestions for Adapting: Provide suggestions for how auditors can better adapt to the changes brought about by the technology. If the technology you chose creates challenges for the profession, make suggestions for how auditors can adapt to meet these challenges. If the technology offers opportunities for the profession, make suggestions on how auditors can better adapt to take advantage of these opportunities. Support your suggestions with research.
