Problem 1: Recognition and Measurement of Intangibles

A friend who likes to invest in the stock market made the following statement to you recently, “I don’t invest in entities that operate in service or knowledge-based industries because their financial statements don’t really reflect the true value of the entity.  This makes it very difficult for me to make informed decisions about whether to invest or not.”

Discuss why an investor may arrive at the conclusion that the financial statements of entities operating in service and knowledge-based industries are not useful for making investment decisions

Explain the recognition criteria that prevent human capital being recognized as an asset in the financial statements.

12. Compare and contrast how radioisotopes are used in medicine as diagnostic tracers versus for treatment purposes. Be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Include a description of the type of radiation emitted and the properties of the isotope that make it ideal for either a diagnostic or treatment application and describe how they work inside the body.

13. What are the biological microscopic and macroscopic effects of whole body, acute, high-dosage, ionizing radiation exposure on the human body? Describe what occurs within the cells. Which cell types are the most affected by acute radiation exposure? What are the macroscopic effects of damage to these cells? Be as detailed as possible in your answer.

Identify Fixed and Variable Costs Intuit Inc. develops and sells software products for the personal finance market, including popular titles such as Quickbooks® and TurboTax®. Classify each of the following costs and expenses for this company as either variable or fixed to the number of units produced and sold: a. Packaging costs Fixed b. Sales commissions Variable c. Property taxes on general offices d. Shipping expenses e. Straight-line depreciation of computer equipment f. President’s salary g. Salaries of software developers h. Salaries of human resources personnel i. Wages of telephone order assistants j. Users' guides

For each scenario, identify the primary shift that occurs.

In the flu pandemic of 1918, roughly 3% of the population of the earth died, wiping out a large chunk of the available human capital of the planet. You can think of this as a massive decrease in the total resources available to society. What is the primary shift when this information is presented this way?

Question 5 options:

A medical researcher wants to determine if an experimental drug to control the Covid 19 Virus has any effect on the motor skills scores of human subjects. She randomly assigns patients to 1 of 2 groups. Nine hundred subjects in group 1 (the experimental group) are given an oral dose of the drug prior to testing (mean = 9.78, standard deviation = 4.05); 1000 subjects in group 2 (control group) receive a placebo (mean = 15.10, standard deviation = 4.28). Test the null hypothesis (at 95% confidence) that there is no difference between the population means of the drug group & the placebo group. What do you conclude?

Nanotechnology is a field of research and innovation concerned with building 'things' - generally, materials and devices - on the scale of atoms and molecules. A nanometre is one-billionth of a metre: ten times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. The diameter of a human hair is, on average, 80,000 nanometres. At such scales, the ordinary rules of physics and chemistry no longer apply. For instance, materials' characteristics, such as their colour, strength, conductivity and reactivity, can differ substantially between the nanoscale and the macro. Carbon 'nanotubes' are 100 times stronger than steel but six times lighter.

make a case study should consider either :

1. Methods of nano-particle manufacturing
2. Application of nano-particle in chemical engineering field.

11. Loss of heterozygosity enhances progression to carcinoma by increasing the rate of driver mutations in cancer cells. A) True B) False

12. The large increases in cancer incidence observed with certain types cancer in immune compromised individuals indicates that human tumor cells highly immunogenic. A) True B) False

13. Loss of VHL in renal cancer prevents the hydroxylation of HIF and thusly stabilizes HIF resulting in the induction of angiogenesis and the expression of glycolytic genes. A) True B) False

Tumor cells produce high levels of PD-1 to absorb PD-L1 produced by immune cells.

A)  True    

B)  False

1. The three-dimensional shape of a protein determines its function. Briefly explain these terms as they relate to protein shape and provide a supporting example for each: denature, conformational change, genetic mutation. Each example must include a specific protein.

2. Compare and contrast simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. In other words, how are they similar and how are they different? Provide supporting examples for each.

3. (a) What is the osmolarity of a solution containing 85 mM C6H12O6, 120 mM KCl, and 24 mM CaCl2? Show your calculations. (b) What would happen to human blood cells put in the solution above? Explain.

4. Describe the stages of the cell cycle and what happens in each stage, making sure to include what is happening to the DNA. For M phase, describe all stages. If you were looking at cells under the microscope, what would you use as a distinguishing feature for each stage. Only for this last part on looking at cells under a microscope can you make a table, if you wish.

5. Describe what “Alternation of Generation” means and describe in detail the human alternation of generation. Make sure to include each of the following terms: haploid, diploid, homologous chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis, somatic cell, germ cell, zygote.

1. Based on U.S. Bureau of Justice data, 16% of persons arrested are women. If 400 arrest cases are randomly selected, estimate the probability that more than 60 women were arrested. Since this is discrete data, use the binomial distribution.

I got the answer 0.628 and it is not correct.

2. The lengths of human pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 268 days and a standard deviation of 15 days. If we stipulate that a baby is premature if the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 3%, find the number of days that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

Here I got the answer 296 days and it is not correct.
