Leona Case Study

Leona is 52 years old and smokes. She is also overweight and has atherosclerosis. When she was given a 2-week vacation from work, she packed up her bags and flew from Minnesota to Sydney, Australia, for the trip she always wanted to take. Unfortunately, just 3 days after she arrived, she was hospitalized when her left calf became inflamed, causing her considerable pain. The physician attending to her told her she developed a deep vein thrombosis.

Student Name:

1.Explain, using your knowledge of hypercoagulability, why the trip to Australia contributed to Leona’s DVT? Why was Leona already at risk for thrombus development?

2.How does Leona’s atherosclerosis affect platelet function? Conversely, what is the effect of increased platelet activity on the development of atherosclerosis?

3.How do atherosclerosis and immobility promote changes in blood coagulation?

4.When Leona was in hospital, she received heparin therapy. Explain why this course of action was taken to treat her DVT. Why was she not given heparin tablets to take back to the hotel with her?

You are working as an assistant to your cousin, who is an architect. She is currently designing the lobby for a new luxury hotel. The lobby will include a walkway suspended above the main level. Her design will include the following features. Above the walkway, attached at various points along its length, will be vertical steel cables of diameter 1.27 cm and unstressed length 5.45 m. These cables will run upward from the walkway and be attached to a rigid beam in the internal structure of the lobby. Below each point of attachment of a vertical cable will be an aluminum column on which the walkway rests. Each column is a hollow cylinder of inner diameter 16.24 cm and outer diameter 16.34 cm. Before the walkway is installed, the columns will extend 3.25 m from the floor of the lobby to the height at which the bottom of the walkway will lie. Suppose the walkway and any individuals walking on it exert a downward force of magnitude F = 9,400 N on a particular attachment point to a cable above and the corresponding column below. Before committing to this design, your cousin asks you to determine how far the point of attachment of the walkway will move downward under these load conditions.

1) Roberto​ Inc. operates a chain of luxury hotels in the​ Asia-Pacific region. It charges​ $540 for a one night stay. However when​ 90% of the rooms are​ occupied, Roberto charges a premium of​ 20% on room tariff for the remaining rooms. What pricing method has Roberto Inc. ​adopted? Explain your answer.

2) Due to a recent downturn in the economy, sales of luxury hotel rooms have been on a steady decline for the last 12 months. A market research study conducted revealed that Roberto Inc. can only sell one night stays for $440. Accordingly, Roberto Inc. has decided to revise its sales price per one night stay to $440. The annual target volume after the price revision is 240 one night stays. Roberto Inc. wants to earn 40% on its sales amount. Calculate the target cost per unit. Show your workings.

3) Roberto Inc.’s revised target price of $440 was based on market research. Explain other methods that could be used when estimating a target price.

Overbooking is the practice of selling more items than are currently available. Overbooking is common in the travel industry; it allows a vehicle (airline, train, bus, cruise ship, hotel, and so forth) to operate at or near capacity, despite cancellations, no-shows, or late arrivals.

Overselling is when more confirmed customers show up to use the vehicle than there is space available. When this happens, at least one customer will be denied the service that they paid for, either voluntarily (sometimes with an incentive provided by the supplier) or involuntarily. This is called getting "bumped."

Suppose that for a particular flight, an airline believes that 1% of ticket holders do not make the flight. The jet making the trip holds 188 passengers. If the airline sells 191 tickets, what is the probability that the flight will be oversold and they will have to bump a passenger? Assume that cancellations are independent.

Calculate the probabilities that one, two, and three people will be bumped, and then use those values to determine the probability that at least one passenger will be bumped. Give each answer to four decimal places. Avoid rounding within calculations.

?(one person is bumped)=

?(two people are bumped)=

?(three people are bumped)=

?(at least one person is bumped)=

Your software company was invited to provide a proposal for a company in Australia. You currently have the cost in US dollars and need to convert the prices to the Australian dollar. Write a 2-part program using Ruby, Java®, or Python. Part 1: Write a function to gather the following costs from the user: Travel Cost: $9,800 Hotel Cost: $3,500 Rental Car Cost: $1,600 Labor Cost: $15,500 Part 2: Write a function to convert the costs from United States dollar (USD) to Australian dollar (AUD). Note: Look up the current USD to AUD exchange rate to use in your function. Test the program 3 times by providing different costs in USD. Provide the code and take a screenshot of the output, then paste the screenshot(s) into a Microsoft® Word document. Write a half-page response in the same Microsoft® Word document to address the following: Provide a manual for the user explaining how to use the program. Explain what type of user input validations you should have. What happens if the user enters a negative number? What happens if the user puts a $ in the input?

For this week's discussion, the focus will be on examining Porter's Five Forces as a tool for looking at the pressures on profits. Specifically, you will be looking at defining Porter's Five Forces and applying this tool to the market structures and pressures on profits of a chosen group of firms.

Instructions

Review the two groups of firms below:

• Group 1: the accommodations industry (e.g., Hilton, Marriott Bonvoy, InterContintental Hotel Group).
• Group 2: the wireless telecommunications industry (e.g., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile).

In your discussion post, address the following:

• Which of these groups operates in a monopolistic competitive industry? Which operates in an oligopoly?
  • How did you determine the classification of each group? That is, what are the key characteristics of each group that indicate the type of industry it operates in?
• Chose one of the groups and use Porter's Five Forces to analyze the pressures on profits for your chosen group's firms.
  • If you want to dig deeper into how one of the firms views the challenges it faces, you might want to look at the firm's investor page.

Note: In your discussion posts for this course, do not rely on Wikipedia, Investopedia, or any similar website as a reference or supporting source.
