John is complaining about how inefficient and greedy governments are. “Why are they such beggars? They keep asking people for money all the time. Is it not that they are supposed to offer us facilities and take care of us. Instead individuals, households and business houses, all of us, have to keep feeding them all the time.” He is expressing his alarm in an agitated voice as he rambles on. “They come for you in all forms. They will be strict and make you pay a part of your hard-earned money as taxes. And as if that is not enough, they want to take your money and give you back some T-Bills.

Is John’s displeasure with the government justified?

You are working as exercise physiologist for a company and your job includes tests to measure fat oxidation rate (lipid metabolism) during exercise. One individual, who is on a normal diet, did not follow recommendations for fasting and consumed a high fat meal 1-2 hr prior to testing. The fat oxidation response of the individual during prolonged moderate intensity exercise was 30% higher than normal compared to subjects of same age, sex, exercise capacity, and daily diet.

What are possible causes for higher rate of fat oxidation during exercise? Explain the mechanisms involved. Focus on determinants of lipid utilization during exercise

Waterways Problem 01 b1-b3 Waterways Corporation is a private corporation formed for the purpose of providing the products and the services needed to irrigate farms, parks, commercial projects, and private lawns. It has a centrally located factory in a U.S. city that manufactures the products it markets to retail outlets across the nation. It also maintains a division that performs installation and warranty servicing in six metropolitan areas. The mission of Waterways is to manufacture quality parts that can be used for effective irrigation projects that also conserve water. By that effort, the company hopes to satisfy its customers, perform rapid and responsible service, and serve the community and the employees who represent them in each community. The company has been growing rapidly, so management is considering new ideas to help the company continue its growth and maintain the high quality of its products. Waterways was founded by Will Winkman who is the company president and chief executive officer (CEO). Working with him from the company’s inception is Will’s brother, Ben, whose sprinkler designs and ideas about the installation of proper systems have been a major basis of the company’s success. Ben is the vice president who oversees all aspects of design and production in the company. The factory itself is managed by Todd Senter who hires his line managers to supervise the factory employees. The factory makes all of the parts for the irrigation systems. The purchasing department is managed by Helen Hines. The installation and training division is overseen by vice president Henry Writer, who supervises the managers of the six local installation operations. Each of these local managers hires his or her own local service people. These service employees are trained by the home office under Henry Writer’s direction because of the uniqueness of the company’s products. There is a small human resources department under the direction of Sally Fenton, a vice president who handles the employee paperwork, though hiring is actually performed by the separate departments. Teresa Totter is the vice president who heads the sales and marketing area; she oversees 10 well-trained salespeople. The accounting and finance division of the company is headed by Ann Headman, who is the chief financial officer (CFO) and a company vice president; she is a member of the Institute of Management Accountants and holds a certificate in management accounting. She has a small staff of accountants, including a controller and a treasurer, and a staff of accounting input operators who maintain the financial records.

A prospective MBA student earns $50,000 per year in her current job and expects that amount to increase by 12% per year. She is considering leaving her job to attend business school for two years at a cost of $45,000 per year. She has been told that her starting salary after business school is likely to be $85,000 and that amount will increase by 15% per year. Consider a time horizon of 10 years, use a discount rate of 11%, and ignore all considerations not explicitly mentioned here. Assume all cash flows occur at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now, two years from now,..., nine years from now). Also assume that the choice can be implemented immediately so that for the MBA alternative the current year is the first year of business school. What is the net present value of the more attractive choice?

Catalog sales companies mail seasonal catalogs to prior customers. The expected profit from each mailed catalog can be expressed as the product​ below, where p is the probability that the customer places an​ order, D is the dollar amount of the​ order, and S is the percentage profit earned on the total value of an order.

Expected Profit = p X D X S

Typically 12​% of customers who receive a catalog place orders that average ​$180​, and 15​% of that amount is profit.

Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.

​(a) What is the expected profit under these​ conditions? ​$ per mailed catalog

(b) The response rate and amounts are sample estimates. If it costs the company $2.00 to mail each catalog, how accurate does the estimate of p need to be in order to convince you that the expected profit from he next mailing is positive?
