Problem 9-21 Cost-Cutting Proposals [LO 2]

CSM Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $491,000 is estimated to result in $190,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS Table), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $58,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $21,600, along with an additional $3,600 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop’s tax rate is 40 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent.

Develop a hypothetical case requiring the treatment of a patient (for example, the patient has a virus, an allergy, or a chronic condition). Using this case, explain the process in which each model (medical, holistic, epidemiological triangle, and social) would provide treatment (considering underlying causes, symptoms, as well as personal, social, economic, and environmental factors). If a model can be explained using a labeled graphic, then that is acceptable as well

A private college has several study programs. Recently there was a publication from BPS stating that the income of the middle class has increased by 10% this year. Although happy with the improving condition, the university is concerned that the impact of this change on applicants who will continue to the tertiary institution is estimated to decrease. From these concerns, what can we conclude about the study programs at these colleges? Complete the answers with graphic explanations.

Twelve-year-old Aiden loved soccer. That’s why it was sheer torture for him to miss even a minute of recess. All morning long, he waited for the chance to escape his classroom and run to the field outside his school to play during lunchtime. Unfortunately, today Aiden was late for recess because he had “lunch duty” and it was his responsibility to make sure the tables were clean after everyone had eaten. When he was finished, Aiden dashed to the soccer field. Dismayed, he discovered that the other boys had already started and were in the middle of a close game. “Which team should I be on?” Aiden asked one of the boys. The boy responded curtly, “Neither. Take a seat.” Another boy said, “Yeah. The game’s too close.” Several other boys snickered and then ran off after the ball. Aiden felt a rush of warmth spread from the middle of his chest to the center of his face. He didn’t know exactly how he felt. Was it pain? Disappointment? Rejection? Anger? Whatever the feeling, it was not good and Aiden knew he needed to do something about it.
