Assume that you are nearing graduation and that you have applied for a job with a local bank. As part of the bank’s evaluation process, you have been asked to take an examination that covers several financial analysis techniques. The first section of the test addresses time value of money analysis. See how you would do by answering the following questions: Questions: (1) What is the future value of an initial $100 after three years if it is invested in an account paying 10% annual interest? (2) What is the present value of $100 to be received in three years if the appropriate interest rate is 10% per year? What is the difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due? What type of annuity is shown in the following cash flow time line? How would you change it to the other type of annuity? (1) What is the future value of a 3-year ordinary annuity of $100 if the appropriate interest rate is 10%? (2) What is the present value of the annuity? (3) What would the future and present values be if the annuity were an annuity due? (1) Define the stated, or quoted, or simple, rate, (rSIMPLE), annual percentage rate (APR), the periodic rate (rPER), and the effective annual rate (rEAR). (2) What is the effective annual rate for a simple rate of 10%, compounded semiannually? Compounded quarterly? Compounded daily? (1) Construct an amortization schedule for a $1,000 loan that has a 10%annual interest rate that is repaid in three equal installments.

Just Rewrite This Paragraph So I can't find Palarsism (Typing Only)

One of the important aspects of trading costs is price impact. It is measured as ? and a higher value indicates a stronger impact on the price from trading. The regressions made in STATA has provided values for ? that will be discussed below.

Table 1 shows us that the price impact from trading volume is virtually zero if we are considering the net buy volume for both companies. This means that the sheer volume of trading does not impact the price. However, Table 2 has different results. The direction of trading has an impact, particularly for HM B where the difference in midpoint price has a positive correlation with the active side conducting the trading. However, the impact is significantly smaller for COA, which is a small cap traded stock.

HM B have significantly higher volumes of trades compared to COA with the largest trade landing on approx 100 000. It also has a much lower percentage fluctuation in stock price (1.5% compared to 31%) . Thus, one can conclude that HM B has a higher liquidity which means that larger quantities of shares can be traded without impacting the price.[1] However, the low value of lambda indicates that COA also have a high liquidity.[2] The higher ? for HM B can also be explained as an indication of informed trading as probably more information is available for HM B than COA.[3]

To analyse trading costs, the bid-ask spread becomes important. As the bid-ask spread is higher, the total trading costs increases.[4] Since we only have the transaction data, the spread will have to be approximated as the difference between NBB and NBO. To normalize the spread, it is divided by the midpoint value of that minute. Taking the average for all the minutes for HM B and COA, it results in the following.

Each situation must include a care plan, 3 nursing diagnosis, include a med card with 3 additional potential meds for the situation, a nurse note for each situation and SBAR note .



Situation: The nurse is completing a patient history during an admission. The patient's wife reports that when she and her husband go for their daily walks, he can only go two blocks and then must sit down because of pain in the calves of his legs. They rest a while and walk another two blocks, but then the pain is back.

1. What additional history and physical assessments are indicated?

Two days later, the patient is assigned to you for nursing care. His primary nursing diagnosis is ineffective tissue perfusion related to insufficient oxygenation of the lower limbs manifested by pain on walking two blocks and diminished popliteal pulses, bilaterally.

2. What nursing interventions are indicated during the patient's hospitalization?

3. His health care provider prescribes cilostazol (Pletal), 100 mg bid. Review the drug monograph and discuss the drug’s action and adverse effects.

4. What health teaching would be needed in relation to his prescribed drug therapy?

Situation: A 76-year-old patient has been experiencing arteriosclerosis obliterans with intermittent claudication. He refuses to give up smoking. At his last office visit, he was given a prescription for pentoxifylline (Trental), 400 mg PO tid with meals. After leaving the examination room, he tells you (the office nurse) that the health care provider did not explain how this would work to improve his “leg pain.”

5. Explain in lay terms to the patient what is thought to be the mechanism of action of pentoxifylline and draw a diagram that depicts erythrocyte flexibility. Use the visual aid to help him understand how the drug could improve his leg pain.

6. One week later, the patient calls the office and says, “That new medication you gave me for my leg pain isn’t working.” How should you respond?

 Uses a random value as well as manipulates string and character objects in order to make an SS# (xxx-xx-xxxx).

  1. First 3 Numbers: Create a three digit random integer named FirstThree in the range of 100- 999. (10 Points)

  2. Second 2 Numbers: Create a two digit number named SecondTwo by using FirstThree as follows: (10 Points)

     If FirstThree is 550 or less then create a 2 digit string using the name StringFirstThree from the first 2 digits of FirstThree otherwise create a 2 digit string named StringFirstThree using the last 2 digits of FirstThree.

  3. Last 4 Numbers: Use the user’s name to generate a four place number string as follows: (10 Points)

    •   Ask the user to enter their first name. Change their input to uppercase and find the length named FirstNameLength. If the length is less than 10 then add a 0 in front of the number and call it FirstLastTwo.

    •   Ask the user for their last name. Change their input to uppercase and find the length named LastNameLength. If the length is less than 10, then add a 0 after the number and call it SecondLastTwo.

    •   Combine FirstLastTwo and SecondLastTwo into a string named LastFour.

  4. SSN: Create a string named YourSSN that combines StringFirstThree, SecondTwo and

    LastFour with dashes where the output is like this 123-45-9884. (10 Points)

Quinine, C20H24N2O2, occurs naturally in the bark of the cinchona tree and was the first effective treatment for malaria. It is a diprotic base with Kb values of (the acidic protons are shown in red) C20H24N2O2 + H2O HC20H24N2O2+ + OH- Kb2 = 1.0 × 10-6 HC20H24N2O2+ + H2O H2C20H24N2O22+ + OH- Kb1 = 1.58 × 10-10

a) The recommended IV dose of quinine is 0.800 g/kg, that is, 0.800 g of quinine per 1 kg of water. If we assume that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what is the pH of this solution? The molar mass of quinine is 324.412 g/mol. For simplicity, abbreviate C20H24N2O2 as Q.

b) 100 mL of the solution from part a is then titrated with a solution of 0.010 M HCl. How many mL of HCl solution is required to reach the first equivalence point?

c) What is the pH at the first equivalence point?

d) What is the pH when 32.00 mL of HCl has been added?

e) What is the pH at the second equivalence point?

f) Quantitatively draw the resulting titration curve on the axes below. Be sure to label both axes, equivalence points and buffer regions. Be as accurate as use can and make use of your results for parts a-e. g) The pH in the stomach is often quite low, between 2 and 3. What species of quinine is predominant at a pH of 2.5?

h) The pH of blood is buffered at 7.4. What species of quinine is predominant at this pH?
