Minden Company introduced a new product last year for which it is trying to find an optimal selling price. Marketing studies suggest that the company can increase sales by 5,000 units for each $2 reduction in the selling price. The company’s present selling price is $97 per unit, and variable expenses are $67 per unit. Fixed expenses are $835,500 per year. The present annual sales volume (at the $97 selling price) is 25,200 units.

Required:

1. What is the present yearly net operating income or loss?

2. What is the present break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?

3. Assuming that the marketing studies are correct, what is the maximum annual profit that the company can earn? At how many units and at what selling price per unit would the company generate this profit?

4. What would be the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales using the selling price you determined in (3) above (e.g., the selling price at the level of maximum profits)?

According to a​ survey, 64 ​% of murders committed last year were cleared by arrest or exceptional means. Fifty murders committed last year are randomly​ selected, and the number cleared by arrest or exceptional means is recorded. When technology is​ used, use the Tech Help button for further assistance. ​(a) Find the probability that exactly 41 of the murders were cleared. ​(b) Find the probability that between 36 and 38 of the​ murders, inclusive, were cleared. ​(c) Would it be unusual if fewer than 20 of the murders were​ cleared? Why or why​ not?

A 35 year old woman with type 1 diabetes was admitted to the hospital with severe anemia, vomiting and fever. She had not been feeling well for the past several months. She lost more than 25 pounds without dieting. Physical examination revealed a pale female with a distended abdomen. A CBC, glucose, pregnancy test and urinalysis were ordered.

Patient result Reference range WBC 22.1 x10^9/L RBC 4.06 x 10 ^12/L Hemoglobin 11.4 g/dl HCT 35.5 % MCV 87 fl MCH 28.1 pg MCHC 32 g/dl RDW 16% 16% 12.5 – 14.5 IRON STUDY Serum iron 40 ug/dL 50 - 160 TIBC 200 ug/dL 250 - 400 Percent saturation of transferrin 20.0 20 - 55 Ferritin 99 ng/ml 10 - 106

The pregnancy test was negative, the urinalysis had elevated glucose, and the blood glucose was also elevated. Blood smear showed anisocytosis, poikilocytosis and some tear drop cells. A diagnostic ultrasound found a 20-cm extrauterine mass. Subsequent surgical excision of the mass revealed a malignant epithelial tumor of the left ovary with metastases to the lymph nodes and lung.

3. What type of anemia do you suspect based on the CBC and morphology? 4. How is hepcidin involved in this anemia? 5. What key indicators are found in the CBC? 6. How does the iron study fit with this picture? 7. Will the soluble Transferrin receptors be increased or normal?

Suppose that last year the government ran a deficit of 10% of GDP and has now to date accumulated a debt to GDP ratio of just over 90%. Hypothetically -- assume that the president and congress jointly enact a fiscal plan which caps growth in the level of government debt at no more than 2% of GDP per year. If the policy is enacted, what would happen to the debt burden in the US over time?
