Case Study No. 1
Sue Kim, 49 years of age, emigrated from South Korea to the
United States 6 years ago. Her family came to the US to
educate their children and moved in with family members in
Los Angeles. Sue and her husband graduated from a top-ranked university
in South Korea, and her husband also had a master’s degree in
business. However, their English skills were not adequate for
them to get jobs in the United States. Instead, they opened a
Korean grocery store with the money they brought from South
Korea, and they managed to settle down in Los Angeles, where a number of Koreans are living. They have two children: Mina, a 25-year-old daughter who is
now the manager of a local shop, and Yujun, a 21-year-old
son who is a college student. Both children were born in South
Korea and moved to United States with Sue. The children had
a hard time, especially Mina, who came to the United States in
her senior year of high school. However, the children finally
adapted to their new environment. Now, Mina is living alone
in one-bedroom apartment near downtown, and Yujun is
living in a university dormitory. The Kim’s are a religious family and attend their community’s
protestant church regularly. They are involved in many church
activities. Sue and her husband have been too busy to have
regular annual checkups for the past 6 years. About 1 year ago, Sue began to have serious indigestion, nausea, vomiting, and upper abdominal pain; she took some
over-the-counter medicine and tried to tolerate the pain. Last
month, her symptoms became more serious; she visited a local
clinic and was referred to a larger hospital. Recently, she was
diagnosed with stomach cancer after a series of diagnostics
tests and had surgery; she is now is undergoing chemotherapy. You are the nurse who is taking care of Sue during this
hospitalization. Sue is very polite and modest whenever you
approach her. Sue is very quiet and never complains about any
symptoms or pain. However, on several occasions, you think
that Sue is in serious pain, when considering her facial
expressions and sweating forehead. You think that Sue’s
English skills may not allow her to adequately communicate
with health care providers. Also, you find that Sue does not
have many visitors -only her husband and two children.

NCM 100 TFN – Case Study 1 Topic: Transitions Theory by Afaf Ibrahim Meleis
You frequently find Sue praying while listening to some
previous songs. You also find her sobbing silently. About 2
weeks are left until Sue finishes chemotherapy. You think that
you should do something for Sue so she will not suffer
through pain and symptoms that could be easily controlled
with existing pain-management strategies. Now, you begin
some preliminary planning. Answer the following Questions:
1. Describe your assessment of the transition(s) Sue is
experiencing. What are the types and patterns of transition(s)?
What properties of transitions can you identify from her case?
2. What personal, community, and societal transition
conditions may have influenced Sue’s experience? What are
the cultural meanings attached to cancer, cancer pain, and
symptoms accompanying chemotherapy, in this situation?
What are Sue’s cultural attitudes toward cancer and cancer
patient’s? What factors may facilitate or inhibit her
transition(s)?
3. Consider the patterns of response that Sue is showing. What
are the indicators of healthy transition(s)? What are the
indicators of unhealthy transition(s)?
4. Reflect on how Transitions Theory helped your assessment
and nursing care for Sue. 5. If you were Sue’s nurse, what would be your first
action/interaction with her? Describe a plan of nursing care for
Sue.

Q12. Suppose you think AppX stock is going to appreciate substantially in value in the next year. Say the stock’s current price, So, is $100, and the call option expiring in one year has an exercise price, X, of $100 and is selling at price, C, of $10. With $10,000 to invest, you are considering three alternatives:
a) Invest all $10,000 in the stock, buying 100 shares.
b) Invest all $10,000 in 1,000 options (10 contracts).
c) Buy 100 options (one contract) for $1,000 and invest the remaining $9,000 in a money market fund paying 4% interest annually.
What is your rate of return for each alternative for four stock prices one year from now?

Consider a supplier order allocation problem under multiple sourcing,
where it is required to buy 2000 units of a certain product from
three different suppliers. The fixed set-up cost (independent of the
order quantity), variable cost (unit price), and the maximum capacity
of each supplier are given in Table 5.15 (two suppliers offer quantity
discounts).
The objective is to minimize the total cost of purchasing (fixed plus
variable cost). Formulate this as a linear integer programming problem.
You must define all your variables clearly, write out the constraints to
be satisfied with a brief explanation of each and develop the objective
function.
TABLE 5.15
Supplier Data for Exercise 5.5
Supplier Fixed cost Capacity Unit Price
1 $100 600 units $10/unit for the first 300 units
$7/unit for the remaining 300 units
2 $500 800 units $2/unit for all 800 units
3 $300 1200 units $6/unit for the first 500 units
$4/unit for the remaining 700 units

Generate 200 random numbers using each of the following continuous distributions and plot the histograms

(a) Uniform (use A = 3 and B = 7)

(b) Exponential (use population mean = 0.2)

(c) Gamma (use parameters 3 and 2)

(d) Normal (use µ = 2 and σ = 5)

Attach the histogram plots and reflect on what you observe. Hint: Use RAND() to generate uniform random numbers and use inverse CDF to generate random numbers for each distribution.

1. The Ice Cream Parlor is the only ice cream parlor in Beautown. The son of the owner is just back from college, where he majors in economics. He has just studied demand analysis and he decides to apply what he has learned to estimate the demand for ice cream in his father’s parlor during his summer vacation. Using regression analysis, he estimates the following demand function:                                                                                                                                                                                Q = 100-20P                                                                                                                                                       a. Find the point price elasticity at each dollar price, from P = $5 to P=$0                                                                                                                                                                             b. Find the arc elasticity between consecutive one dollar price changes from price of $8 to price of $0 (i.e., between P = $5 and P = $4, P = $4 and P =$3, ……… P = $1 and P = $0 ) (15 points)

• Every elasticity coefficient; price, income, cross, supply, etc. is made-up of the product of two parts

1. A measure of the absolute rate of change
2. The ratio of size of the two variables involved; e.g, P/Q or I/Q, etc.
3. It is necessary to determine what the value of Q is to work the problem so the first step is to plug in the price and find Q.

• Point elasticities measure the elasticity at a particular point or set of coordinates of the two variables (e.g., a particular price and quantity, for price elasticity). The change (which is the first derivative of the equation) is measured by the slope coefficient of the equation. See pp. 131-133.
• Arc elasticities measures, which were called midpoints formulas in your principles course, are measuring of the elasticity across a certain arc or range of the curve. Changes are measured point to point and absolute size is measured by an average of two points; e.g., average price and average quantity. See pp.133-135.

For each of the following demand functions, assume that the price p must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100. For each demand function, determine all prices at which demand is elastic and all prices at which demand is inelastic. For each demand function, what price would you recommend the business use?

• q(p)=100−p

• q(p) = 216 + 100 p

Demand: Qd=90-4P, where Qd is quantity demanded and P is price

Supply: Qs=-100+15P, where Qs is quantity supplied and P is price

Recall that equilibrium price was 19, while quantity was 50. At that price, the price elasticity of demand was -0.80.

1. Now I want you to rearrange each equation, putting P on the left-hand side, and solve again for equilibrium P and Q (you ought to get the same answer).
   1. Now we want to figure the monopoly price. Take the supply equation that you just developed (with P on the left-hand side), and make it your marginal cost equation. That is, just replace P with MC.

2. Total revenue is (P*Qd) and marginal revenue is the first derivative of total revenue with respect to Qd. Calculate total revenue and marginal revenue equations, derived from the demand equation developed above.

3. Now calculate price and quantity at the monopoly equilibrium (set MR=MC, solve for Q, the solve for P from the demand equation). How does monopoly P and Q compare to that calculated under competition?

4. What’s the price elasticity of demand at the monopoly price and quantity? Is it more or less elastic than the price elasticity at the competitive equilibrium?

1. A price elasticity of demand, estimated at the profit-maximizing monopoly price, will always be in the elastic range (that is, less than -1.0). Can you explain why?
