Part 1

Read the scenario.

Patients who have scheduled coronary artery bypass grafts have a great need for education before, during, immediately following, and after discharge. This education helps the patient understand the procedure and what they should expect. It is essential to provide information regarding care before, during, and after the surgery. Also, patients need information on pain management, resuming activity and physical therapy, self-care, limitations, and concerns that they should report.

Part 2

Post a response to the discussion board.

Discuss the following questions in your post:

How can informatics be used to improve a patient's education about a CABG?

How can educating patients through informatics improve patient outcomes?

Describe at least two of the ten levels that e-patients access and use in regards to health care information online.

If a patient who is scheduled for a CABG states "I know all about this. I have been reading up on the Internet"—what concerns do you have?

What types of sources would you suggest a patient seek on the Internet?

5. Margaret Finance is the CFO of Dividends Rus Corp. She is trying to decide whether she should increase the dividend payment from $ 1.25 per share to $ 1.50 per share instead of using that money for repaying $ 2 m of long-term debt that would take the debt balance to $ 4 million. The Dividend Rus Corp is paying an 8% coupon rate and the current bond yield is 10%. The debt was issued at par.
The company latest after-tax Earnings is $ 32 m, up from after-tax Earnings of $ 24 m the year before. The Industry-average EPS is $ 3.25. The Net Income Before Taxes was $ 40 million. The company pays a flat tax rate (marginal tax rate = average tax rate).

Required:
a. What was the change in EPS (dollar and percentage)?
b. How compare Dividends Rus Corp EPS to the industry average EPS?

i. Why would this be important to a potential investor?
ii. Should Margaret increase dividends or repay $ 2 million of debt? Explain thoroughly

3.   The following table represents increasing cost production possibilities for the US and the rest of the world (ROW):

Using indifference curves and production possibilities curves, determine

            A. equilibrium relative prices at which production and consumption take place before trade, for both the US and ROW.

            B. What is the range of prices within which trade would be mutually beneficial for both the US and ROW?

            C. After specializing in production, determine the points at which consumption takes place if the US and ROW exchange 20 bushels of wheat for 20 yards of cloth, i.e. international relative price =1.

            D. Derive the offer curves for the US and ROW.

            E. Use supply and demand curves to examine the cloth market before and after trade in both the US and ROW.

An SAT prep course claims to improve the test score of students. The table below shows the scores for seven students the first two times they took the verbal SAT. Before taking the SAT for the second time, each student took a course to try to improve his or her verbal SAT scores. Do these results support the claim that the SAT prep course improves the students' verbal SAT scores? Let d=(verbal SAT scores prior to taking the prep course)−(verbal SAT scores after taking the prep course). Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Assume that the verbal SAT scores are normally distributed for the population of students both before and after taking the SAT prep course. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Score on first SAT 480 530 520 530 360 380 550 Score on second SAT 530 580 560 610 390 400 610 Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

Consider an excise tax on the market for almonds. Moreover, assume the magnitude of the tax is $3.00 a pound. Assume the tax is levied on the demand side.

a.) Who do you suppose will pay more of the tax? Almond producers or consumers? Why?

b.) Draw a graph showing prices and quantities before and after the tax. Moreover label regions of the graph A, B, C, D, etc and show CS, PS, TS, DWL and TR before and after the tax. Draw your graph consistent with your answer to part (a).

c.) If P = $20 provide plausible P B and P S

d.) Suppose Q = 15; 000 and QT = 12; 000 Calculate DW L and T R.

e.) Suppose the supply was more inelastic than we thought for parts (a) - (d). Provide a new QT and recalculate DW L and T R.

f.) How would things be different if we were to collect the tax on the supply side?

g.) Consider the question, "Is this tax a good idea or not?". Is this a question of normative economics or positive economics.

Do certain drugs slow down the reaction? If so, the government will try to test the differences taking this drug. Thirty random samples were examined before and after drug administration. And their reaction time (in seconds) (see table below). Verify that there is a difference at the significance level of 5%.

Step 1 of 5 :

State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test.

1. On December​ 1, 2017,​ Summit, Inc. sold machinery to a customer for​ $22,000. The customer could not pay at the time of sale but agreed to pay 10 months later and signed a​ 10-month note at​ 10% interest. How much interest revenue was earned during​ 2018? (Round any intermediate calculations to two decimal​ places, and your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.)

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of a high salt mean on the systolic blood pressure (SBP) of subjects. Blood pressure was determined in 12 subjects before and after ingestion of a test meal containing 10.0 gms of salt. The data obtained were:

1. Is a one-sided or two sided test needed here?
2. What is the mean SBP for each time period?
3. What is the standard deviation for each time period?
4. Which statistical test is appropriate to use on these data?
5. Carry out the hypothesis test(s) in question in above d. Use α=0.01
6. Are the means statistically different?
7. Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two means on SBP. Interpret your finding
