1.The LM curve can shift to the right if there is an increase in the supply of money or a fall in the price level. In which case does this represent a movement along the aggregate demand curve and in which case does this represent a shift of the aggregate demand curve? Use the IS-LM diagram and Aggregate demand curve in your explanation.

2. Examine how changes in monetary policy and changes in fiscal policy affect the economy in the short and long-run. Suppose the government wants to stimulate the economy by either expansionary monetary policy or expansionary fiscal policy. With the use of the IS-LM model and AD-AS model, explain the similarities and differences between these two policies in the short and long run. Illustrate your reasoning graphically and explain. For simplicity, you can assume SRAS is a horizontal line. You can also assume that the economy begins at a point where the LRAS, the SRAS and the AD intercept.

Company X's current return on equity (ROE) is 17.06%. It pays out one-quarter of earnings as cash dividends, i.e. its payout ratio is 29.1%. Current book value per share is $38.71. The company has 5.68 million shares outstanding. Assume that the ROE and payout ratio stay constant for the next four years. After that, competition forces the ROE to 11.02% and the company changes the payout ratio to 71.52%. The company does not plan to issue or retire shares. The cost of capital is 10.77%.

(a) What is the price of stock X?

(b) How much of stock X's value is attributable to growth opportunities (PVGO)? Note that here we cannot use P=(EPS/r)+PVGO because ROE changes over time. PVGO is defined by the difference between the price of stock and the value of share if there is no growth for every period.

An asset which could be purchased outright for £383,720 is instead leased by Lessee Ltd for three years at the end of which the asset will have no residual value. The lease provides for half-yearly payments in advance of £72,000, the first payment being made on 1 January 2018. The asset is to be depreciated using the straight line method.

Required:

(a) Show how the asset will be accounted for in the financial statements for the year ended 2018 under IAS 17 if: (i) Lessee Ltd is responsible for all maintenance and insurance costs; (ii) Lessee Ltd is not responsible for the maintenance and insurance costs.

(b) IFRS 16 Leases has changed how leases will be recognised in financial statements. Outline the key changes to lease accounting contained in IFRS 16 and discuss why these changes were considered to be needed. Your answer to this part of the question should not be more than 150 words.

Objective 1:

You run a transcriptome analysis and find that Lis1 is a gene that is has a loss-of-function mutation more often in ASD patients compared to non-ASD controls. You would like to understand how this mutation manifests in a rodent model.

1. Please describe what ‘loss-of-function’ means.

              Loss-of-function means that this Lis1 gene’s product (protein) will have less to no function at all. With less function, the gene product will only be partially inactivated, but with complete loss of function it is amorphic.

2. Please describe how you can examine the effects of decreased Lis1 function in mice at the RNA and protein levels.

I need help with the 2nd portion of this question. She is basically asking how you would measure changes in RNA and changes in protein, but I am not sure what the best method would be to do either one of these. Qpcr?

A nurse on the research and practice committee is preparing for an update on evidence-based practice (EBP). There is a need to address the potential changes with several EBP policies. This presentation will examine the EBP policies as well as reasoning and rationale as to why changes may be needed.

Choose an EBP topic and two scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles

Compare the difference between theory, research, and practice in nursing

Choose a theory that best correlates with the EBP practice change that you would like to make

Compare and contrast the quantitative and qualitative research article that you choose for the EBP topic

What technology did you use to locate the articles? Databases? Search terms?

What are the philosophical, theoretical, and methodological perspectives in the research articles that were chosen?

What are the ethical and scientific integrity issues related to the research?

How did your nursing knowledge advance through the utilization of research?

the shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change in a 15 minute oil change facility is on now. However, records indicate them me Tom is 16.8 minutes, and the center deviation is 4.4 minutes.

a.) To compute probabilities regarding the sample mean using the normal model what size would be required?

b.) what is the probability that a random sample of n equals 40 oil changes results in a sample mean time less than 15 minutes?

c.) suppose the manager agreed to pay each employee $50 bonus if they made a certain go on a typical Saturday the oil change facility will perform 40 oil changes between 10 a. m. and 12 p. m. During this is a random sample, what main oil change time will there be a 10% chance of being at or below? This will be the goal established by the manager
